    Mike Kelsey - we owe him more than we could ever repay.  You have to learn basic survival methods and then go hiking!
  

*by D***2 on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2015*

Michael Kelsey changed my life.  Many of us hike together and we are in our 60s and 70s.  We have been hiking before and since MK started publishing.  Without his books and his tireless efforts to explain the wilderness in a way that probably will save your life.  If you cannot understand his books, it is better if you stay home.  If you cannot handle tracking, GPS, map reading, etc. - watch TV or learn how.  Not to be mean, but this is not a knitting class.  You can die without much effort in the wilderness and you need to master certain skills or go with people who have mastered them.  If you cannot read a Kelsey book, then you cannot handle a topo map or a GPS program or 4WDing or reading the weather or finding water.  These are skills you need to have.  If you don't have the initiative to learn these skills but want access to the beautiful but deadly Desert, don't blame Kelsey.  He tells you like it is.  He does his best to guide you through spectacular areas with plenty of warning.  People ignore the warnings as they have issues with taking advice and facing reality.  I have read Kelsey very carefully and at times, when I am a million miles out there, I realized that I did not read it carefully enough and now I cannot do what I wanted.  That is not Mike's fault.  If you are stuck on a hike, email him and he will help you.  That is pretty damn good service I think!  The Wilderness is not the shopping mall.  If you truly want to learn to survive in it and live to tell about it, join a group like the Sierra Club or REI and learn the skills that we had to learn and enjoy it.  There will always be an element of unknown.  Nearly every hike, the first time, there will be surprises, there will be GPS errors and all kinds of other circumstances.  It is all the language of nature.  When you have some back country wisdom, you will expect this and have planned for it.  I thank Mike Kelsey from the bottom of my heart for opening a whole world to me.  I owe you more than I can say.  Don in San Diego.

    Great "Fotos" and good guide book
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2010*

As an experienced backpacker I have purchased many, many trail books through the years.  There are things that I absolutely love about this well-researched book on what most would consider an obscure & remote area.  First, the quality of the printing is very high.  The pages are glossy and will withstand considerable wear and tear.  Mr. Kelsey puts considerable depth into his research.  Obviously the author is passionately about the area, the hikes and the history.  And mostly I love the photography (or "fotography" as he calls it).  This is the first book of its type that I have ever owned where all the original photos are color & glossy.  The photos are absolutely outstanding.I only have a couple of gripes but they are big ones.  Despite the high-quality of the printing, the book is difficult to read.  There are no line breaks between paragraphs and quotes are not indented.  I understand that he's trying to save space, but at what cost to the reader?  A minor annoyance is his spelling of all forms of the word "photograph" as "fotograph".  What's up with that?  My biggest complaint is Mr. Kelsey arrogant the use of kilometers vs mileage when referencing distances.  It's almost like has little for what the reader wants.I was torn as to how to rate this book.  With so many things that I like about it, I would have felt guilty giving it only 3-stars despite how much of a arrogant jackass Mr. Kelsey is for making me convert metric to miles.  I also give him extra credit for being accessible.  He gives his email address on the first page.  I contacted him with a question and he promptly answered back.  Heck, that's worth an extra star!  If in his next edition, Mr. Kelsey fixes a few of my complaints, I would be more than willing to give him the coveted 5-stars.

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2016*

I have several of Kelsey's guide books, and as long as you are willing to slog through a lot of information, they are wonderful. I used several different resources in preparation for my Paria Canyon trip, and this was by far the most informative. Be warned that none of his books are formatted very well. Information is crammed together without noticeable titles or headers, and the sequence of information doesn't make much sense at all, but I'm willing to overlook all this for quality of content. You will find great information here, you're just going to have to search for it.
