Book recommendations

[Mountainrancher]

Well it’s that time of year that I spend upwards of 18 hours a day sitting in a pickup waiting on stubborn bovines to calve and as I can only spend so much time on rokslide a day I was hoping for some book recommendations. Specifically looking for any hunting/outdoor type books but also like military and history types as well. Bonus if it’s available on the kindle app so I can read it on my phone.

Undaunted courage, labyrinth of ice and anything by dick couch are some that come to mind and are pretty easy reads for leisure.

I'm nearing the end of "The Man Called Red" which is an autobiography of the life of Red Sorensen. He grew up in BC and eventually had a guide business. Its been an interesting read, takes a bit before it gets to the hunting/guiding part of his life but has been enjoyable overall.
