SLEEPING COLD, EATING DIRT, AND LOVING IT!
MISADVENTURES IN MOTHER NATURE’S QUIRKY OUTDOORS

Somewhere between getting lost in a rainstorm while dressed in shorts and a trash bag, and ducking into a cave that smelled like a coyote, it hit me: I’d picked up a fair amount of outdoor wisdom. Like the lightning cracking outside, the idea struck…maybe it was time for me to write a book!

This collection of fifty hilarious, true-life tales covers:

• Camping, backpacking, caving, and whitewater rafting
• Survival foods (yes, you can eat that) and medicinal plants
• Skunks, Boy Scouts, and Forest Service fiascos
• How not to impress ranchers’ daughters
• Why “shinrin-yoku” is something you should not attempt in your neighbor’s backyard.
• Breathtaking outdoor trekking locations suggested by the author
• The spiritual side of the outdoors…from quiet reflection to discovering personal harmony in nature

Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsperson or just enjoy laughing at those who are, this book delivers a hearty dose of humor, hard-earned wisdom, and the kind of stories you’ll want to read aloud around the campfire…or in your tent during a downpour.

With over 300 pages of wild , whimsical stories this book is a must-read for nature lovers, armchair adventurers.
