Title: Troubling: Where Is Leave No Trace
Product review: As someone who has done a lot of backpacking, I found this book troubling. While it gets at the absurdity of the technical aspects of long distance hiking in a humorous way, it demonstrates an utter lack of respect for the environment of the trail. Years of effort of attempting to have hikers pack out what they pack in is destroyed by this book. Tossing cans of Spam and soda cans along the trail is not the sort of back-country literature we need. Funny or not more care should be taken by a writer with Bryson's credentials.
