An excellent book with an incredible story., Dec 9 2003
Probably most people have fantasized about what it would be like to build and live in a log cabin the way our forefathers did, but almost no one ever does. Len McDougall did, and the stories he relates of that experience are just incredible. The brutal labor, swarms of biting insects, the injuries and loneliness, encounters with dangerous animals, and the sheer unfettered freedom he found all make this book a must-have for anyone who reads.

The original civilian survival manual., Feb 22 2003
I often kayak alone on remote lakes, and before I found Practical Outdoor Survival I was always afraid that I might be forced aground by foul weather in a place that was too far from my truck to reach on foot. This book makes that prospect a lot less frightening. Not only does it contain great information about which emergency items I should pack, it tells me how to pack them, and how to use them effectively. I own a number of good wilderness survival manuals, but this is the one I take with me when my life might depend on the advice I get from a book.

Even Native Americans reference this book., Feb 22 2003
If you go to the Natural Resources Commission office of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in Petoskey, Michigan, you'll find The Complete Tracker on their reference bookshelf. If it's good enough for a tribal biologist to use as a reference, this book is certainly good enough for me.

A Bible for outdoors people., Jan 29 2003
This book would probably be better titled "The Outdoors Bible," because it contains just about everything an outdoors person of any experience level might need to know. McDougall takes the mystery out of orienteering, tells the reader what to look for when buying anything from boots to backpacks, and even covers snowshoeing in enough detail to make me buy one of the models he recommended. At the back of the book are several Indian fables about nature that are engagingly written and entertaining enough to read aloud around the campfire. If you're an outdoors person, this book is a very good one to have on your bookshelf or in your backpack.

Nobody knows wilderness survival like Len McDougall, Jan 28 2003
Maybe I'm prejudiced because I've backpacked and snowshoed with him, but I've seen Len McDougall at work in the deep woods, and nobody knows the wilderness like he does. When The Field & Stream Wilderness Survival Handbook came out, I had to have a copy. McDougall did not disappoint, this book is crammed with survival procedures, sound advice, and detailed instructions for being prepared to live through just about any dilemma an outdoorsperson might encounter.

The Snowshoe Handbook, Nov 24 2002
With a love for winter and the activites associated with snow, I decided upon snowshoeing as my winter sport of choice. After a few winters of travel on my traditional Iverson snowshoes, I thought I would give the "newfangled" shoes a try. I needed information on purchasing a new pair. "The Snowshoe Handbook" was recommended to me by a friend and so I picked up a copy. I found this book filled with information to cover all aspects of snowshoeing. I was pleased to discover many helpful hints not only on the sport itself, but also on winter dress, navigation and emergencies. I would recommend this book to those beginning in the sport or to an advanced snow walker.
