The fifth-edition of the revered Fieldbook: Scouting's Manual of Basic and Advanced Skills for Outdoor Adventure is published by the Boy Scouts of America. It covers hiking, camping, canoeing, mountain travel, ultralight backpacking, wilderness navigation, whitewater kayaking and much more. While Scouts and Scouters will find it indispensable before and during every outing, it's a great tool for non-Scouts as well. "For more than a century, our organization has focused on teaching outdoor skills and leadership and providing opportunities for adventure and life-changing experiences," said Wayne Brock, chief Scout executive of the BSA. "The Fieldbook isn't just for our Scouts -- we want to share these important lessons with anyone who seeks to explore, experience adventure and appreciate nature." Are you new to the outdoors? The Fieldbook has step-by-step guides to get you started. Or maybe you're more of a seasoned outdoor adventurer? The Fieldbook will enhance your skill-set by helping you get farther, higher and deeper into the backcountry. Always a best-seller, each generation of the BSA® Fieldbook has become the gold standard in outdoor survival know-how for its time... and this new edition is no exception. Recognized as a "Work of Significance" by the 2014 National Outdoor Book Awards, this fifth edition was awarded the honor as an acknowledgement of "its influence and importance in the outdoor world." Based on more than a century's worth of experiences from millions of Scouts and leaders, this book provides everything you need to know for outdoor living and camping in all seasons, including new updates! Updates include: * New emphasis on wilderness safety and survival * New section featuring a history of Scouting in the outdoors
