1: A must for camping couples
This book isn't just about sex but certainly doesn't shy away from it either. It's far more about getting a reluctant partner out camping and hiking and then how to improve the odds of having romantic interludes. After that, it tells you how to plan a trip, how to get along while you are out there, how to keep clean, how to have romantic dinners and then tells you all the lovely ways of making sex possible that are only available outdoors.
The book is well written, witty and has great stories. Some stories were simply beautiful and brought a tear to my eye and some were laugh out loud funny. I especially liked "Nice Ways to Say You Stink" and the entire chapter on having sex in a canoe. There is one especially sexy story about toasting marshmallows on an open fire that I had to read twice. The illustrations by Ann Miya were a hoot and added a lot of ambiance to the book.
On top of this, there are useful information sections with recipes, romantic locations and an extensive list of on line resources.
My only real gripe is in the layout, where a large aside, taking up a page or two, can go right in the middle of a sentence. It can interrupt the flow, but is a minor point in the middle of a book with so much to offer.
This is a must for couples who like camping and hiking, but even more so for a member of a couple whose partner is resistant to the idea of camping. It suits any level, from hard core to car campers only. I can't recommend it enough for people who just want a little more spice in their life and are wondering how.

2: Great read!
A laugh-out-loud look into the world of camping. This is a fresh insight to a heavily published topic. Highly Recommended! (BTW: Contrary to the author's note, shipping to Canada is not the same as US.)

3: Normal Human Behavior In Nature
I find the title of this book offensive. There is nothing inherently "naughty" about human sexual activity. If the author thinks so, I seriously doubt her ability to discuss this subject intelligently. Perhaps it is the publisher's fault, and in that case I suggest the author should make a better effort to stand up for herself and for what's right in the future if she hopes to sell books about sex to healthy reasonable adults like myself.

4: Fun to read, camper or no...
I'll admit it, I'm hardly a camper. But out of sheer curiosity I picked up this book, and have been enjoying my way through it. The writing style is fun and light, and the personal anecdotes (from the author and others) are highly amusing. Thoroughly readable, and certainly recommended (and as I said, I'm not even a camper).

5: New unique book
What a great new unique book. I can't remember seeing anything even similar to it in the past. This would make a great gift for any young adult into camping. The book is easy to read and fun, never taking things too seriously, while still providing practical info.
