Very good book. I've downloaded it on my smartphone.

Way to go. Congrats.

The book arrived the other night and I've only had time to look it over and read the first chapter and a half.  To start this is a text book not a howto book.  It doesn't just tell you how to dress warmly it discusses the details of different fibers and their pros and cons.  I think that this this book will take me a bit of time to read because instead of slipping of to a corner of the house and reading a chapter I'll have to sit down at the table with a pad, highlighter and a pencil to actively read this book.

Thank you all at TrailSpace, of all the giveaways I think I was the biggest winner.  This is something I wouldn't have gotten for myself but I will truly benefit from. 

You're very welcome, Tycho!

I'm glad the book arrived and hope it provides lots of helpful information. Freedom of the Hills is a lifelong resource for any outdoors person, so we were excited to have it as a giveaway to our members (plus the cards are fun).

Once you've had lots of time to digest the book, you might want to share your thoughts in a review.

Enjoy!
