      British alternative living expert Santabarbara introduces readers to 34 wild campers--those who eschew traditional campgrounds when heading into the outdoors--from around the world. Each of them has their own style, including some who choose locations based upon photography opportunities and others who build their shelters using materials found onsite. Each camper's bio includes the country in which they live, the type of tent they use, their social media handle, three items the camper considers the most important for a successful experience, their most memorable trip, and striking photographs. Brief sections between chapters contain camping tips that are starting points. The author points readers to extensive resources that they can utilize to prepare thoroughly for this type of camping. Safety is emphasized throughout the book, including sections that prioritize knowing how to use gear appropriately and ensuring that friends or family members know where the camper is headed. The importance of having a charged phone is also noted and indicated to be a significant tool, whether for navigating, documenting the trip, or getting help in an emergency. The book's back matter contains an index and a directory of resources. VERDICT Recommended where there is an interest in the outdoors.--Judy Poyer
