    I am reading what seems to be the most popular magazine amongst us... Backwoodsman. I think I need to search for Wilderness Way as I haven't seen that in years,even backcopies would be worth reading.

    The Story of The Stick in All Ages & Lands translated from Antony Real (1892). Intresting to me because I study all forms of stick fighting and have for many years.

    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    I read The Road recently. I thought it was a pretty good book. Let me know your thoughts when you finish it. I don't want to spoil anything for you. I have not seen the movie, and since I don't typically go to the movies, I'll wait to rent it.

    Has anyone read Where Men Win Glory? It's the story of Pat Tilman, the former Arizona Cardinal linebacker who died in Afghanistan. I got it from the library last month. It's an interesting read, yet pretty depressing too.

    I'm halfway through reading Secret Agent. The true story of the Special Operations Executive by David Strafford. It's one of those books you can read and re-read.

    Just finished off the Nov./dec. Muzzleloader mag.

    Have been reading the kids at night a variety of Native American tales. Have to watch it as many are pretty gruessom and have sexual overtones. That coyote.....hmmmmmmmm.......he got around.

    One of the little books that I like to read to the kids are the ones from Chick Fila. Always have a good message and enjoyable to read. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is the current.

    made my monthly trip to the University Bookstore and picked up

    WildCity: A Guide to Nature in Urban Ontario for $1.99

    http://www.amazon.ca/Wild-City-Ontar.../dp/0771085699

    plus the latest copy of Wilderness Way magazine
    .
    Knowledge without experience is just information


    there are two types of wild food enthusiasts,
    one picks for enjoyment of adding something to a meal,
    and the second is the person who lives mostly on ( wild ) edibles

    Just ordered some books and they arrived yesterday. Last night I started on Woodcraft and Camping by Nessmuk. Since it was written over a hundred years ago it is a little different in language usage. It really makes you concentrate to try and understand what he is saying.
    I also received -
    ►John and Geri McPherson's "Naked into the Wilderness - Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills
    A guide to Canning,Freezing,Curing & Smoking Meat,Fish & Game by Wilbur F. Eastman Jr.
    Making Native American Hunting, Fighting,And Survival Tools by Monte Burch
    I'll bet this last one would be of interest to FVR and Canid if they don't already have a copy.

    I haven't really looked at them too much yet, But They all look really Good.

    Just finished Ford County-stories-by John Grisham. Wonderful!

    On to SuperFreakonomics by S. Levitt & S. Dubner. Even better than Freakonomics. Highly recommend, since it deals with a lot of topics discussed here--I think y'all will love it.
