Song of the Paddle: An Illustrated Guide to Wilderness Camping: Mason covers just about everything related to canoeing, and he does it with humor and wit, and an easy to read style. You'll find preparation lists, hints and strategies all through the book for everything from day trips to full blown wilderness excursions lasting weeks. There is an excellent section on canoe safety and the basic paddling strokes. Mason covers portaging, use of a compass and maps for navigation, rescue techniques, includes a few recipes (that work quite well) and even gets into the trickier maneuvers a skilled paddler can attempt. Besides all that, Mason includes plenty of stories (including a couple of hair-raising ones) that will make you laugh, think, and-most likely-help you hear the song too!
