Were you much of a distance hiker in 1992? :)  A lot can change in 8 years. 
The books are properly edited these days, though I don't pretend to take 
credit for the 500 plus pages of information they contain. So rather than 
re-post the same outmoded mantra, why not pick up Beyond Backpacking and 
tell us what you think? Would love the feedback, especially from thru-hiking 
veterans.

Now exiting the peanut gallery,
