<p>What books have you read that have given you a better understanding of an outdoors activity?  </p>

<p>Ideally I would like to compile a list for all activities.  e.g.: </p>

<ul>
<li>Climbing</li>
<li>Canoeing</li>
<li>Backpacking</li>
<li>Backcountry cooking</li>
<li>Bike touring</li>
</ul>

<p>For instance:</p>

<ul>
<li>Mountain Biking - <a href="https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0736083715" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mastering Mountain Bike Skills by Brian Lopes and Lee McCormack</a> is one of the best books I have ever read.  I bike every day and mountain bike a couple times month.  This book has drastically improved my technique and answered many questions I had on riding.  </li>
</ul>
