Terms range from hiking lingo, gear, and iconic trails to the insider jargon that all campers know and speak fluently, from “A-frame” to “zipper.” With equal parts quirky humor and charming giftability, it’s a delightful book for every camping obsessive.

  • "I can't think of anyone better equipped to—literally—define the outdoors than Heather Balogh Rochfort. She has captured the nuance, fun, and adventure of camping in a way only true hiker trash (noun, page 86) could." 
    Ryan Wichelns, editor in chief, Trails Magazine  
  • “With her trademark backcountry expertise and a hearty dose of humor, Heather Balogh Rochfort pulls off something truly remarkable in this book: educating while still somehow managing to keep readers consumed with laughter. A great gift for your weirdo camping-obsessed dad and a must-read for anyone who’s ever experienced a ‘s’morgasm.’”
    —Emily Pennington, author of Feral: Losing Myself and Finding My Way in America's National Parks
     
  • From bonafide blister sister Heather Balogh Rochfort, this hilarious and painfully accurate collection of camping terminology is perfect for anyone who has a love-hate relationship with the lower back pain that comes from sleeping underneath the stars.
    —Nora O’Donnell, executive editor of The Red Bulletin
