On the subject of bringing "entertainment," I don't like to bring gadgets while camping (other than compass & GPS). I can see that they open up a whole new world of entertainment that a very few years ago was impossible. But, just as a personal preference, I try to keep the wilderness experience, well, wilderness. The book idea is nice, especially if it is an outdoorsy book (i.e. Cormac McCarthy). If it is a short trip, weight can be saved by xeroxing a couple of chapters or so. I'm sure my age has something to do with my opinion; I remember when my Dad brought the first TV into the house
