The author once fell backwards, on skis, at night, into a latrine
during a snowstorm in the Rocky Mountains. That's just one of the
stories in this 20-year tale of wilderness education. This book
aims to entertain and edify, captivate and compel. It's also
laugh-out-loud funny, with echoes of Patrick F. McManus and Bill
Heavey. Combining anecdotes of over two decades of outdoor
education experience with thoughtful narrative context, the author
offers tales of adventure that both experienced mountain guides and
armchair enthusiasts can dig into with abandon. From the swampy
backcountry of Florida to the soaring Sierra; the chilly gray
waters of Puget sound to rocky scrambles in the Green Mountains,
this book takes the reader on a hilarious journey through epic
landscapes guided by a hapless outdoor teacher. No matter how
suburban or urban our upbringing, we've all experienced the fear of
strange noises in the night, inedible food cooked outdoors, and
surviving when the nearest flush toilet is miles away. We can all
relate to the mishaps and exploits experienced in the great wide
world.
