Publisher's Note This book covers repairs on the trail and at home. Tips and techniques range from patching a rain jacket to patching a canoe; fixing broken zipper slides to reweaving snowshoe webbing; cleaning campstove jets to filing ice axe teeth. Getchell augments her concise hands-on instructions with numerous clear illustrations and anecdotes from outdoor experts, creating a rich, captivating blend of field-based, real-world knowledge and guidance. This comprehensive, multisport reference covers climbing hardware, tents, sleeping bags, hiking boots, and binoculars, to name a few. The emphasis is as much on care as repair, since more of the former means less of the latter. Appendices offer trail-tested repair kits for specific activities, knots and stitches, adhesives, and nontoxic cleaning solutions.
