Fascinating and fun!

I loved the author’s cheerful yet practical tone and tips, her warm memories, her sense of humor! This is a fun, helpful and generous spirited book about camping! Unique in my experience.
I did not love the narrator’s rather robotic reading. Almost like one of those “to reach the accounting department, press 5” type of voices? But I got used to it.
