Hey guys I'm going to be leaving out on a family camping trip here in a few hours and would like to have a book to read in my hammock tonight. I read Robby's book this summer at the beach and loved it. I like military history, hiking, hunting, prepping kind of stuff. I will be downloading it in kindle on my iPhone. Y'all shoot me some ideas.

My recommendation to you is a book I read this summer called Rebel Yell. It's about Stonewall Jackson and I really enjoyed it. Thanks guys.
 
Thanks. I did read a shirt book about him hunting grizzly bears that was pretty interesting. I'll check it out.
 
Enjoy a lot of military books. Lone Survivor, American Sniper, Outlaw Platoon, Fearless to name a few. Also enjoyed the Revenant as well. I was lucky to read the ones that are now movies prior to there release. Always enjoy the books better than the movie. Following this thread for an idea on my next read as well.
 
+1 any of the Teddy books. He has a funny writing style.

Undaunted Courage by Stephen A Ambrose for us explorer types can't be beat. It's the best book on Lewis and Clark.
 
Military history, I can recommend Thousand Mile War.

I like Teddy's books as well, and it really shows the difference in mentalities between then and now.

For just pure natural reading, A Sand County Almanac is awesome and I think it's free on Kindle.
 
Custer's Fall: The Native American's Side of the Story.

I read it in high school. Found it really interesting.
 
-A Sand County Almanac
-Tigrero
-Bows on the Little Delta
-Death in the Silent Places
-Fred Bear(Biography of an Outdoorsman)
-The Last Ivory Hunter

The Dangerous River: Adventure on the Nahanni.


R.M. Patterson left London in the winter of 1927 and headed out prospecting in the treacherous and beautiful Nahanni River in Canada's Northwest Territories

Read some Jim Corbett. A genuine and modest man who risked his life for decades hunting man eaters in British India. I recommend "the man eating leopard of rudraprayag" or "man eaters of kumaon".

Once you get started on the Vince Flynn books.....you will read all of them. Total page turners.

Even my wife loves Mitch Rapp.....
Edit; Start with "American Assasin" and I bet you a buck you read the whole series.....
Put it this way....anyone that doesn't like these books....I don't want to know them.

I'll second Bows of the Little Delta, fantastic read! Also, brand new book from Jim Akenson called 7003 days: 21 Years in the Frank Church Wilderness Area.
 
Thanks guys. Keep them coming. I have read a few of the books that have been mentioned. Undaunted Courage is one of my all time faves.
