Summary: Witty AND informative!
Comment: Very inspiring, and always funny. I can't believe the recipes that are commonplace in this book--very helpful guide for a somewhat more experienced chick-camper!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great gift for beginners
Comment: I got this as a gift for a family member that we want to go camping with us. It's a great beginners guide for all things camping related.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Funny and Helpful
Comment: I enjoyed this book a lot. I bought it because I was planning a camping trip and it was a lot of help. I used almost all the food recipes which I found delish, especially the chili lime roasted corn on the cob! Yum! The only thing I can say that was slightly negative is that Ms. Menicucci's examples and tips are for people who backpack camp. Hiking into the wilderness and setting up camp where ever. I'm more of the drive up to my campsite and pitch my tent at a camp site with a number kind of person. So some of her tips and advice were not really relevant to my excursion.
However, for those girls (and guys!) who are really in to roughing it, this book offers loads of helpful ideas and great EASY recipes and fun ways to pass the time.

Summary: So fun!
Comment: This book is both a perfect rainy afternoon read and a great reference to go back to again and again for information and inspiration. The author's writing style is easy and fun to read and by the end, no matter how urban you consider yourself, you'll be itching to pack up and head out to the great outdoors.

Summary: A New Cool How-To Book
Comment: A book that makes camping sound like an adventure for
even the most citified folks. A hip writing style and great
details about how to protect your food from bears,
and the value of duct tape keeps you reading and wanting more.
Some descriptive passages make you laugh out loud.

Targeting urban ladies who aren't afraid to get dirty, LET'S GET PRIMITIVE will encourage the most citified fashionista to embrace her inner mountain mama and follow the call of the wild. A writer and filmmaker turned outdoor aficionado, Heather Menicucci has overpacked, started late, gotten lost, and battled armies of insects so readers won't have to. Her hard-won backcountry camping lessons cover all the relevant basics--planning the trip, buying or borrowing the gear, fitting it all in a backpack, stocking a primitive pantry, choosing a campsite, pitching a tent, leaving no footprint, and being inspired by the quiet beauty of nature.
