Gr 3-5-When it comes to outdoor adventure, it's important to pick the right resources. These ruggedly handsome titles help establish priorities, whether it's shelter from the elements or what equipment to bring and what to leave behind. The books stress planning ahead, gathering information, and using observation to inform decision-making. Full of tips and hacks, they also include instructions for useful items like solar stills, packable toothpaste, first aid kits, fire starting packs, and more.
