Good Reading Material for the tent

[TX_Diver]

Jack Carr's series
Endurance - About the Shackleton voyage
Once an Eagle - This one might take a few days. It's also a giant book so not for packing in unless you need a secondary self defense weapon.

For a real recommendation you need to tell us what are the things that you enjoy learning about in the last few years?
Do you like fiction, or non-fiction?
Do you like to be challenged, or just an easy read?

If you haven’t read it, Michener’s, Centennial, is awesome. Changed my life as a 15 year old when I first read it…

Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy is a favorite of mine, as is A Land Remembered by Patrick D Smith

 

[intunegp]

I only read when on hunting trips. I am currently on the Joe Pickett series by CJ Box. Start with the first one and go in order. Joe is a Wyoming game warden and the books are a very good read.

Didn't know the Amazon series was based on books! I ignored the bad acting in season one enough to enjoy the story...started season two but lost a little interest when they started talking about wendigos/supernatural stuff. Still curious how things end up and I enjoy a good supernatural show, but usually separate from the more real-world stuff. What I've seen of season two feels like they watched Outer Range and wanted to jump on their bandwagon to draw some viewers in.

Anyway, I'll have to check out the Joe Pickett books.

Indian Creek Chronicles by Pete Fromm was a good book. He did a follow up book called The Names of the Stars.

Deep Survival - Laurence Gonzales

I was looking at my book shelf for one to take next week and remembered this one.

The Still Hunter by Theodore VanDyke

You have to get used to the writing style, as it was written in the 1880's, and realize the safety and ethics were different then, but the strategies before electronics are super interesting.

And anything Teddy Roosevelt.

Death in the long grass by Pete Capstick

I was just thinking any of Capstick.

It sounds stupid, but Medicine for Mountaineering, which is normally quite dry reading, but after a day stuck inside when you literally start reading clothing tags, it’s transformed into a wealth of very interesting topics.

 

[Smenning]

Day of War by Cliff Graham (Lion of war series)

 

[taskswap]

Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose. There's also an EXCELLENT audio version of this on Audible. It's the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition and IMO it's riveting the way it was written.

Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy is a favorite of mine, as is A Land Remembered by Patrick D Smith

Great books! I was born and raised a Floridian so I really enjoyed A Land Remembered, but it's a great book for anyone to read.

If you or anyone wants more books I think I have a box somewhere. Help me out with shipping. I’m a reader and don’t like book clutter
