Review: Great intro to backpacking book - I'm not a beginner but bought the book because I'm getting back into it after many years away. I wanted an easy-to-read refresher, and this book didn't disappoint. Diana Helmuth is funny and insightful and tells it like it is. I especially recommend this book for girls and women getting into backpacking because Diana leans the text to a woman's perspective. For example, she has 4 pages of details about hiking with a vagina. She has 4 bullet points about hiking with a penis. I suppose she has more experience with one over the other. This book is full of great, practical tips and wonderful stories. I only rated it 4/5 stars instead of 5 because there's not enough nudity and violence to warrant a perfect score. Buy Diana's book. It's great. Buy a few copies and give them out as gifts! Review: Great Read! - I LOVED this book. As someone that is just starting to get into backpacking this book was perfect. The book itself is super hilarious but also very informative. The author has a way of making you feel confident about backpacking no matter what your size, physique, or experience level. Highly recommend this book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,475,101 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #768 in Walking, Hiking & Trekking #19,369 in Humour (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 197 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Suffer Outside - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Po90lOkfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great intro to backpacking book *by J***Y on 6 November 2022* I'm not a beginner but bought the book because I'm getting back into it after many years away.

As someone that is just starting to get into backpacking this book was perfect. The book itself is super hilarious but also very informative. The author has a way of making you feel confident about backpacking no matter what your size, physique, or experience level. Highly recommend this book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! *by C***N on 5 May 2022* I bought this book on Kindle halfway through reading the content blurb (something I don't normally do). I say halfway because that's how far I got before I had to stop because I was laughing so hard. Equal parts hilarious and practical it felt like sitting down with a good friend who will tell you all the good and bad of something. Like the best friend that will tell you that dress makes you look like a house decorated in the 70's and push you toward the blue one you didn't think you'd fit into but look fantastic in. Covering all the basics you don't know you need to know about hiking and camping, including the things you wonder about but are too embarrassed to ask (bathroom break anyone?) The illustrations are wonderfully comical but not distractingly so. They help flesh out the topic covered in an odd and endearing way. If you're interested at all in hiking, camping, or just having a great time laughing - this book is for you. And a final note - I would go hiking with the author and illustrator anytime. I just wonder if minion leggings would clash with space cat. 😉 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/635789420-how-to-suffer-outside](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/635789420-how-to-suffer-outside) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
