The friendly, definitive guide for outdoorswomen who enjoy hiking, camping, backpacking, and other outside recreation--or those inspired by Cheryl Strayed's Wild.

This fun, practical handbook covers everything from "feminine functions" (like dealing with your period and peeing in the woods) to staying safe (like protecting yourself from strangers). You'll also find chapters that help you prepare for--and make the most of--your time in the wilderness with information and advice on:

* Gear lists
* Personal Care
* Camp setup
* Fire building
* Weather
* Navigation
* Food & Water

Fun and informative, A Woman's Guide to the Wild will inspire you to get out on your own or with your girlfriends, explore the wildnerness, and get a little dirty.
