"While a life of adventure has traditionally been reserved for the rich and the sponsored, to the dirtbag, it's a birthright for the masses. Partly a celebration of an underappreciated subculture of hiker trash, ski bums, and vagabonds, and partly a 'how to' guide for adventure on the cheap, [this book] is the first solid attempt to define an outdoor movement that has taken root in backpacker hostels, long trails, and climbing crags around the world"--Back cover.
