A must read/carry for any outdoorsman in Canada who plans to be far away from civilization for any period of time. This could be a potential life saver, or a simple helpful guide on some extra food/medicines to put in the back of your mind. It's a large book, fairly heavy but the coloured images and details about the plants makes it much easier to distinguish what you're looking for/at compared to many other pocket sized, black and white, or no image books. I especially like that its focused specifically about Canada since my other similar books are "North American".
