This was the first "backpacking" book that I bought - and I learned a
few things from it.  But then I had to "unlearn" some of them.  Keep in
mind that the book was written by someone who hikes short distances on
West Coast trails. Not quite what you're looking for if you're gonna
thruhike the AT, but perfectly adequate if you like his style of hiking
and can adapt his techniques to East Coast trails.  

Walk softly,
