Be Prepared® – while always associated with the Boy Scouts, this motto and way of life is now the focus of a major
product release from the BSA. Headlining this launch is the Be Prepared® book series from DK, beginning with
Complete Wilderness Training, released April 2007. Though applicable to any outdoor enthusiast, these two
new titles are a perfect match to the core Boy Scout™ values of outdoor activity, safety, and of course,
preparation for
life’s journeys.
This concise and informative visual guide offers practical advice on all aspects of backpacking and hiking, from
choosing the appropriate gear, to pacing yourself and accommodating for difficult terrain, to making a campsite, to
overcoming unexpected difficulties, such as injuries, severe weather or getting lost.
