What we appreciate above all in this amazing book full of common sense and practical advice, this is his philosophy .. Here there is no question of fighting AGAINST the adversity of nature, as many books on the same subject (especially Anglo-Saxon), but to embrace it and realize that it can bring the essential if we know the approach significantly, humble and pragmatic.
So Couplan does not teach us to build a hammock with triple strengthening, gourd-based integrated sliding roof of bamboo, but to return to a minimalist experience but tasty and light (physically and mentally) of nature. A must have for any hiker or vacationer looking for beautiful sensations and immersion!
