Author’s Note

 

 

 

Several fibers woven into this book have been plucked from The Thousand-Mile Summer, published by Howell-North Books, and from The Alan Who Walked Through Time and The Winds of Mara, both published by Alfred A. Knopf. To protect readers of these books from echo trouble, I have identified the rare passages in which I found it necessary to reuse any lengths of fabric.

A few strands also come from articles of mine that have appeared in Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Reader’s Digest and the San Francisco Chronicle, and I wish to thank their publishers for permission to rework the material.

For a listing of the many individuals who helped me compile this edition, see page 645.

Preface to the Third Edition

What I tell you three times is true.

Lewis Carroll,

The Hunting of the Snark

 

The second edition of this book appeared because the first was five years out of date. This revision is therefore doubly due: ten more years of backpacking revolution have rolled over us.

Above all, hi-tech has hit. Pile, polypropylene and Gore-Tex have transformed the clothes closet. Boots have begun to break old bonds, packs to mutate and tents to take off. Meanwhile we face packfuls of better traditional mousetraps. And the marketplace has modulated accordingly. New firms have sprouted and, like Apple in the wider world, borne instant fruit. Some old stalwarts have pulled a Braniff and crashed; others, following in the footsteps of U.S. Rust, have suffered serious corrosion. The decade has brought peripheral supplements too—from fresh medical truth about mountain sickness to new judgments on the depraved current foodways of bears. On top of all this, I have garnered what I choose to see as a few additional droplets of wisdom.

"Ah, yes," you say, much as you did ten years ago. "But is this really a revised edition, facing such changes? Or do we just have a cosmeticized rehash?"

Once again I have revised—perhaps even more copiously than last time.

The boots chapter is virtually new. Ditto the one on packs. The core of the "Kitchen" has been rebuilt. And so it goes throughout the book, in varying degrees. Here and there I have injected new sections— including one on operating in heavy rain (something I had rightly been accused of short-changing you on).

This revision, like the last, has been enriched by feedback from readers. As one wrote: "You have been thrust (inadvertently perhaps) into the unique and important role of national (and international?) collator of suggestions from a very diverse and dispersed lot of walkers." This is a heady and rather terrifying assessment; but down the years I’ve certainly received many letters—ranging from bloody silly to brilliant.

xi

xii PREFACE

 

An Illinois reader wrote: "Dear Sirs, Would you please send me any information about backpacking and campping too." Many other people requested data easily plucked from a local library. The useful letters mostly dealt with specific and mundane equipment matters or with techniques. But some commented pithily. (A California wail against the onslaught of hi-tech: "Next thing you know there will be boots with five gears and reverse.") And a few letters soared. One, from a mature New Mexico youth of eighteen, ostensibly concerned hang-gliding. This sport, developed only a few years ago by pioneer backyard experimenters, has already ossified, my correspondent complained, to the stage at which it has become impossible to learn anything about it except through organized and accepted institutions, run by the Elect. God recently appointed these Elect, "taught them how to fly hang-gliders without getting themselves killed. . . . then charged them with guarding his knowledge faithfully, making sure no one deviates from the true way. (Anyone foolish enough to do so is certainly insane, and most likely a threat to the health and well-being of society, and should promptly be put away.)" By implication, my correspondent detected a tendency toward similar ossification in the backpacking body. And I think maybe he’s right. Certainly, schools and seminars have proliferated (page 26). See also my bleat about NFS and USFS backcountry permits (page 45). But I am appalled to learn that earlier editions of this book may have helped spread a subtle form of the disease. A Rhode Island reader reports that while pausing in a public campground, preparing for a backcountry trip, he overheard a young couple arguing over some detail in setting up their camp. Finally the girl said, "Well, what does the ――[expletives deleted]say about it?” Her husband reached into his pack, pulled out a well-worn copy of The Complete Walker, consulted it—and was proved "right." So this time around I have tried to accent even more strongly than before that I seek to inscribe no gospel, only to suggest guidelines.

The past decade has also brought changes in the backcountry: at first a continuation of the explosion in our numbers; then, it seems, a leveling off or even a slight contraction. This welcome easing of pressure may be due in part to the negative feedback of the overcrowding and of the permit systems that have evolved to meet it. Walkers who love the backcountry because it offers silence and solitude soon become disenchanted at finding their favorite and once remote campsites encircled by other people; and they’ll likely balk at the strictures imposed by the need to obtain a permit for entering what was once free—in the non-economic sense of furnishing an antidote to civilization’s linear thoughtways. The people pressure has also been dampened by a widening of perceived options: those who once restricted their wilderness activity to backpack-

ing may now also or alternatively raft rip-roaring rivers, canoe more placid waters or cross-country ski. A former backpacker, pushing forty and now heading his own camp-equipment company, promulgated another fetching if befogged vision: "People of my age are too busily involved in real estate, Mercedes, wine and drugs, buying art and taking luxury cruises; now that we’re actually working instead of rioting in the streets, we must face the reality of having to work to support our habits—and we’re not about to take two weeks to go out and backpack." Perhaps the people pressure has also been mildly mitigated by a further reinforcement of the "new ethic"—the understanding that we must treat wilderness with tender loving care. But although people now pay louder lip service to the concept, most of them have, unfortunately, not yet broadened it to include a comprehension that trail guides and other signpost writings about unfrequented and attractive places infallibly corrupt and probably kill the remoteness and therefore much of the attractiveness. In this edition I have tried to embody, even if only obliquely, all such modulations that the decade has wrought.

I have also restruggled to bring everything else up to date: prices, practices, even prejudices. The illustrator has furnished 64 new and 34 amended new drawings, and has more than kept the faith: no one but me knows how heroically she has grappled. Throughout the book I have again tried to improve any writing that no longer satisfied me. Finally, I have refurbished all appendices, painfully and prodigiously.

But in the end it is the core of the book, the main text, that matters most. When my editor first saw the fruits of my two and a half years labor, he said, "Why, it’s seventy or seventy-five percent new!" And the finished product turns out to have grown from 470 to 647 pages. So I think I can safely claim, once again, that this is a genuine, organic revision.

Yet in a sense nothing I wrote about has changed since the second edition appeared. I do not mean only that my publishers have foiled me again by vetoing, amiably but firmly and no doubt rightly, a new subtitle I was hankering for: "The Pre-ante-penultimate Complete Walker." I do not mean only that although much equipment has mutated, a great deal has not; and that principles of construction persist. Or that techniques evolve only slowly. I mean, as I have said repeatedly, that equipment and techniques are mere means to an end, and the things I was writing toward are timeless. Cloud shadows still scud across sunlit peaks. Fleeing lizards still corner frantically around creosote bushes, flinging out little spurts of sand. I now have another hilltop—different from and yet not different from the flat, grassy one mentioned on page 9—to which I can conveniently drive and walk, and on which I can sit for two days when I need space and beauty and silence so that I can sweep the

daily clutter aside and penetrate surfaces and consider what I want to do with the rest of my life; or perhaps only so that I can wrestle with the preface to a new edition of an old book. A few years ago, beside a remote Alaskan river, I met my first moose and then, minutes later, still high from that experience, had a caribou stroll up to within eight paces of where I stood upright and in the open. The caribou eyeballed me with a long and rather glassy stare; then it began to angle slowly away—and I saw the huge, suppurating wound on its haunch, probably bear-inflicted, that had no doubt glazed the poor beast’s mind. Just last month, snowshoeing for a week in the Sierra Nevada, I sat at 10,000 feet, cradled in the silence and softness and harshness of a cupped basin, and watched its rocky slopes as the sun of yet another turning summer beat down from a cloudless sky and began to cleave and slough off into the past, in massive cake chunks, the rich white legacy of what we humans had regarded as an extraordinarily stormy winter. No, if you back off just a little ways, nothing much has changed since I wrote the last edition. Essentially, the old writ stands.

So here, once again, is the old-new book.

WARNING! PRICES

 

As this edition goes to press in late 1983, prices are no longer rising quite fast enough to make a bear blush; but the recent decade-long restlessness could return, and you may have to extrapolate from the figures I quote.

APPENDIX III

Organizations That Promote Walking

Although the groups I’ve listed vary in size from a handful to the 350,000 of the Sierra Club and 500,000 of the Audubon Society, all of them, as far as I can confirm, include communal hikes among their activities—even when their names suggest otherwise. And you may, in spite of pages (footnote) and 582, sensibly prefer to walk in company. In any case, communal hikes are a safe way of getting to know the ropes-for an afternoon nature stroll or a month’s wilderness backpacking.

No amount of research is going to dredge up the name of every walking group in the country; and secretaries, not to mention entire organizations, come and go. So any list like this is sure to be incomplete, and it begins to die before it is born. But it should at worst offer leads for earnest seekers. If an address proves "dead," inquire for the current version from local libraries, newspapers, chambers of commerce or other sources your ingenuity smells out.

Please remember that secretaries-particularly of small local clubs- tend to be starved for funds and inundated with mail. If you write, it is only courteous to enclose a stamped, self-addressed #10 envelope.

Domestic and Worldwide Trips with Nonprofit and Commercial Outfitters and Agencies. The field has burgeoned in recent years, but any list would probably be useless: the smaller outfits seem to come and go like desert rainpockets. For a current selection, see the ads, especially near the end, of relevant magazines-from club organs (Audubon, Sierra) to Outside and Backpacker. The ads reach out beyond backpacking and trekking to horsepacking, river rafting, canoeing and whatevering. And some outfits offer special angles of vision: wildlife, birdwatching, archeology, folkways. Many of the brochures list alluring itineraries, from Appalachia to the Zambezi. Most sumptuous and dream-inducing of them is the new annual by Mountain Travel of Albany, CA. A work of art that costs
