Post 2- Edmund Chute (Total Outdoorsman...)

I recently finished reading the informative book The Total Outdoorsman Manual by T. Edward Nickens and the editors of Field and Stream (a hunting, fishing, camping, survival and outdoors magazine). This book has a selection of the best tips the editors can think of regarding hunting, fishing, camping and survival. I first saw the book and thought it would be a few interesting tips with a bunch of “filler” writing. I was proven wrong. I found almost every single one of the 374 tips to be informative and will be useful when it comes to being outdoors. One thing I really loved about the “manual” is that at the beginning of each section like hunting or fishing there is a section of about 10 pages where the author talks about why he wrote the specific section. In these pages the authors were able to relate to me and talk about things like why someone like me is reading it. From this I must say this book “manual” isn’t for everyone, however if you hunt, fish, camp or just love the outdoors, give it a try, and if you don’t like it that’s fine, because the point of reading is to enjoy what you read, not to just read, but I sure enjoyed this selection.
