The Outdoor Book For Adventurous Boys is a fun, retro mixture of useful outdoor skills, recreational activities, and "forbidden knowledge" that will be enjoyable for children while reminding adults of a simpler time.

Contents

The book has more than 70 entries on the great outdoors, survival techniques, games, and cunning inventions. It includes a mixture of useful outdoor skills, fun activities, and hidden knowledge. This book aims to be a guide for teaching kids about the world away from MySpace, text messaging, and reality television.

Highlights

The book teaches how to:

  • Escape a bear attack
  • Make a rope swing
  • Build an igloo with your bare hands
  • Track wild animals
  • Start a fire without matches
  • Escape from quicksand
  • The Outdoor Book For Adventurous Boys features two-color "retro" illustrations to complement its fun and fact-filled approach. It is written to appeal to boys and girls, as well as parents and grandparents who want to pass on their love of the outdoors.
