Description

Success in the wilderness--Gary Paulsen writes about any of it so strongly in his books Hatchet and The River since he is existed it.  These documents recount his activities alone and with friends, across the rivers and in the woods of northern Minnesota. There, shopping and fishing are serious business, requiring strategies, ability, and motivation. Fortune, also--its not all large one gets away.This guide takes readers through the times of year, from the amazing flavor of the springtime seafood fresh from the smokehouse, towards the first view of the first deer, for the serenity of the wintertime times spent thinking by the range in a fishhouse about the snow. In Paulsen's north region, every journey is just a main one, and frequently hilarious.Once again Gary Paulsen displays why he's one of America's most beloved authors, for he shows us angling and shopping as enjoyment, as craft, as friendship, and as sourced elements of life's greatest classes.
