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

Backpacker Magazine Editors

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

"The Pocket Naturalist Guides have been around for quite a while. They are printed on card stock and laminated for durability. I have been using the same set of guides for more than 3 years in my hiking bag and they show very little wear. The lamination lets them shrug off most dirt and even light rain." "I don't hit the trail without them."
