From the Publisher

"When you factor in the handy layout and informative contents of the guides, along with the top quality illustrations, the practically indestructible nature of the products and the extremely affordable prices it just makes sense to grab a variety of guides for your pack, kits, and car!" "I dumped half a pot of old, hot coffee on it to see if the higher temperature would have an effect or if the coffee would stain the [duraguide]. Once again I was foiled in my effort to ruin the guide."

"The Pocket Naturalist Guides have been around for quite a while. They are printed on card stock and laminated for durability. I have been using the same set of guides for more than 3 years in my hiking bag and they show very little wear. The lamination lets them shrug off most dirt and even light rain." "I don't hit the trail without them."

"Camping 101" and "Freshwater Fishing" may have been written for the outdoor enthusiasts who are a little green around the gills, so to speak, but I found the information included very interesting - especially tips on how to dig a toilet and tie all kinds of knots."

Williamsport Sun-Gazette - Jessica Walshans

"These waterproof fold-out guides are rugged and easy to stash in the pack. The Animal Tracking guide and the Field Dressing Game guide are filled with great illustrations and plenty of information and detail."
