We put out an invitation of help from other leaders with many different ways of going about setting up a successful backpacker. We took all the suggestions and then came across 50miler.com and the manual they have available. I’ve read through the manual and very much impressed. I will be getting with our committee and hiking leadership and let them take this manual and try to implement into our group of boys. Thank you very much.

  802. This manual really helped us plan our first 50 miler. Lots of sensible and useful information for people who haven’t got a lot of backpacking experience. Even the “super hikers” in our unit got a lot out of it.

  803. Came out looking awesome! I love the pictures, they make it really easy to understand what you’re talking about. Just the right amount of information for Scouts.

  804. Excellent, comprehensive review.
    Love the pictures, graphs and poetry!
    Would love to have more famous quotes from you and others!!
    A Masterpiece Overall!
