I knew this was an introductory book on the subject but it was way more basic than I expected. I'm certainly no expert, but I like hiking and being outdoors. I would compare the level of info to what you would get on any ranger program at a state or national park. I love those programs, but they're much more interesting when you're standing outside looking at something specific than when you sitting on a couch reading a book. I'm going to try his book on reading water in hopes that it will offer more depth. Maybe I should read it while sitting next to a river.
