I have that Book! Colin Fletcher's writing style is always a blast to read. Even though I no longer "carry the kitchen sink" I still use the Sierra Zip Ztove I bought due to reading the Complete Walker... though not on my thru hike. Those food tables in that book were my inspiration to organize my own trail diet. The specifics might be outdated but the methodical aspects of hike planning he outlines are timeless.I sure wish I could have met the man before he died( I believe he lived only 60 miles away from me in SF).
