My four sons just love being busy outside. In the past few months, they have dug their second enormous pit looking for the Confederate gold (didn't find it), built quite an assortment of elaborate bird and squirrel traps (didn't catch any), built an even more elaborate "bad guy trap" (didn't catch one of those, either), and constructed a series of working aquaducts in the backyard (which they had to drain after a few too many muddy floors). Jeff recently took pity on them and decided to order Little Bear Wheeler's Outdoor Adventure Guide in the hopes that they could find a bit more sucess in their endeavors. We all love Little Bear Wheeler, so naturally Jeff was excited when our copy came. Naturally he decided that it would be a good idea if he just "looked it over" before giving it to the boys. Evidently this is not the sort of book that a man can just "look over" without being completely drawn into every page. Our boys don't even know we have it yet since Daddy is enjoying it so much!

I knew that James Grubb (Hands and Hearts Employee Extraordinaire) and his brothers have had a lot of fun with this book, so I called on him to write a review for me. Jeff would have written it, but he is still having too much fun reading . . . . .

"This book is an amazing source for any "wannabe" outdoors man. It explains the various methods of
trapping, snaring and tanning animal hides. It's filled with illustrations showing how to perform all the steps
associated with these tasks. The book also teaches other basics like how to walk like an Indian, track like an
Indian, how to avoid getting lost in the woods, find your way by the stars and spend a night in the woods.
There are illustrations on tomahawk throwing, how to make a hunting knife, and detailed steps on the
art of scrimshaw.

It also has the Little Bear Outdoor Ethic which talks about what our attitudes should be toward killing
and skinning animals, and how we should be thankful for these animals. This is altogether an exciting
book and is sure to be dog-eared within the first week.

My suggestion is that you buy this book for your boys . . . and a copy for their daddy too!
