Essential if you are thinking about this adventure
This is an excellent nuts and bolts guide to planning a trip down the Yukon, or any part of it. I lived in Alaska for several years, including in the bush, and this book addresses the things that you will need to know about life and resupply in that part of the world.Pros:- Practical advice based on experience- Good (but not great) maps. They are in black and white, but they provide all the pertinent information needed. and link well to the text descriptionsCons:- Will only fuel the fire if you are thinking about this epic float...Though it has some pointers, this is not a book on general canoeing - it is very specific to paddling the Yukon. If you are dreaming of doing that, you need this book - either to push you over the edge, of convince you to take on a less challenging trip.

Great Planning Tool
Excellent-- a wonderful planning tool for any trip on the Yukon River and tributaries. The detail, estimated time for trip segments, planning maps, etc. make this book a must for anyone planning a trip on these rivers. While I have not paddled any of the trips described in the book so I can not atest to accuracy, the information is First-Hand from the authors solo trips on the Yukon and tributaries -- giving me confidence that the book is an excellent planning tool. Well written and organized. Highly recommended.

What a wonderfully written book
What a wonderfully written book! Very excellent accounts of each of the rivers. I feel I know the rivers better just by reading this book. My goal is to float down some of these rivers in the near future. The information given is priceless.
