Who it is for
This is a book of outdoor stories and tips written by a working guide, so it fits readers who like hunting, fishing, camping and horse country, and who enjoy a humorous first person voice. Its title points at a camp mishap, and the description promises adventures along with practical advice. The record gives no more detail than that, and we have not found a table of contents to quote.
Ways to use this book
Sharing outdoor stories at a campfire
Choose one story you enjoyed and tell it aloud to a younger relative. Ask what they'd have done differently, which tends to bring up their own camping tales.
Getting ready for a first season
If the tips make you want to try hunting, look up the hunter education requirement first, since the course must be finished before you can apply for a license. Fishing needs only a license check.
