Features: This is a book for friends who love outdoor travel. The title "The Incomplete Outdoor Manual" is because outdoor sports are a booming activity, and this small guide is just a starting point. Just like the blank pages left at the end of the book, we will continue to progress and improve together with you and all friends who love outdoor sports in the days to come. This book can also be referenced by fieldwork units, field scientific researchers, staff of nature reserves, and forestry and geological survey personnel engaged in outdoor work. Based on the authors' practical experience in outdoor life, this book introduces practical knowledge, experiences, equipment, techniques, and skills for outdoor living, as well as common problems and their solutions. Little is covered about rare emergencies, as many such situations are unlikely to be encountered by ordinary travelers. The authors' purpose is very clear—to provide useful information for average travelers. Topics such as hunting birds and animals, identifying edible wild plants, building snow shelters, and making fire by friction are not included. Since the target readers are ordinary travelers, not adventurers!
