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!
