"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
