Editorial Reviews

Pocket Naturalist guides are to nature-loving backpackers what Cliffs Notes are to teens trying to navigate Shakespeare: essential.

Backpacker Magazine Editors

"Waterford Press' Duraguide and Pocket Naturalist Guides make great additions to any outdoor enthusiast's library."

NY Conservationist

"...you can stick one or more guides in a pocket or pack for handy use. And don't worry about getting a Duraguide soaked in the bottom of your boat. They're water resistant. Don't fear tearing it, either. These babies are rip-proof. Smash it, step on it, kick it all you want, a Duraguide keeps on giving."

Albuquerque Journal - Toby Smith

"Durable, lightweight, easily affordable, and especially useful in a wide range of outdoor activities..."

American Rifleman

The Pocket Naturalist Guides quickly and easily introduces novice outdoorsmen to the wonders of animal and plant life, as well as other aspects of the wilderness.

Camping Life Magazine

"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."
