Adventures Of An Alaskan - You Can Do
By Dennis W. Confer, Wily Ventures
(From the back cover of the book) How to be rich and broaden your world. You can do all with a modest income.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Be an adventurer. Don’t delay – do it now!
This book is about adventures in hunting, fishing, camping, boating and travel in dozens of states and countries.
This book includes fishing guides for halibut, king and sockeye salmon in South Central Alaska.
Bob Robb, Outdoor Writer: “Dennis is an old-time hunter and guide who began adventuring in the outdoors long before modern ‘conveniences’ and technical marvels.
He did it back when you needed old-fashioned woodsmanship skills and pluck and the skills to extract yourself from perils large and small, which to men like him were only an inconvenience and part of the adventure, not the stuff of a TV mini-series.
In this book he shares these adventures in a pleasant, easy-to-read style that reminds me of sitting around the old kitchen table, listening to my grandfather.
It’s a must read for today’s serious outdoorsmen.”
Jeff Bamat, PA: “If it hadn’t been for Dennis (writing) I probably would have never made it to Alaska.
When Steve and I talk we mostly speak of hunts in Alaska even after hunting all across the US and Canada.”
Hunt of a lifetime now repeated seven times.
From the Author: It is about 45% fishing, 45% hunting, 10% related adventures: travel-camping-boating.
It is written to stimulate, encourage and motivate readers to make happy memories that they can do on an average income and to entertain, educate and inform readers of outdoor opportunities.
The adventures cover dozen of states and countries over a 50 year period, 25 years in Alaska.
It includes the authors adventures, many other memorable stories and king and sockeye salmon and halibut fishing guides for south central Alaska.
The book includes moose, caribou, bear, whitetail and mule deer, elk, sheep, mountain goats, bison,
musk ox, boars, and many species of African game and Mongolian maral stag.
It includes salmon, halibut, trout, marlin, dorado, bass and many others. The main focus is on Alaskan fishing

The Appalachian Trail
A Journey of Discovery
By Jan D. Curran, Rainbow Books
Hiking the Appalachian Trail was newly retired Jan Curran's goal.
This is a book about that
journey - a journey of discovery. For most importantly - along
the way - Curran became acutely
aware of the world in which we live, as he tested himself against
the Trail and the
elements.
This is Curran's first book, covering the first (Southern) half
of his 2,100-plus miles of adventure. The completion of the
journey is covered in his later book: The Appalachian Trail:
Onward to Katahdin, described below.
"A guidebook of the first order, informative and
helpful to the hiker, containing
maps of the Trail and over 30 photos - plus awareness in its
finest form. Lyrically written."

The Appalachian Trail
Onward to Katahdin
By Jan D. Curran, Rainbow Books
When Jan D. Curran retired from the Army, he hiked the entire
2,100-plus miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine,

found the journey tedious--sometimes even dangerous--but laden
with nature's riches and unexpected spiritual rewards.
In this book, Curran describes in vivid detail the Northern half
of his AT adventure, as he finally completes the journey of a
lifetime. The Southern half is chronicled in his earlier work,
The Appalachian Trail: A Journey of Discovery described

The Cohos Trail
The Guidebook To New Hampshire's Great Unknown
By Kim Robert Nilsen
Wild. Remote. Haunting. Starkly beautiful. Coos County, New Hampshire! The trail they
call the Cohos will take you there, where moose reign and only loons break the grand
mountain silence.
* Review *
"I'd thought a wilderness experience was no longer possible in New Hampshire until
Kim Nelsen opened up the vast, sparsely populated North Country with the new Cohos Trail."
~Mike Lanza, author of The Ultimate Guidebook to Backcountry Travel
"Too many trail guides are scant in detail or just plain boring. The Cohos Trail guide is
neither. You'll have no choice but to put on a pack and go."
~John Harrigan, NH Sunday News columnist
"An adventure replete with old logging trails, lost peaks, backcountry paths, and forgotten
ridge runs."

Walking with the Wild Wind
Reflections on a Montana Journey
By Walkin' Jim Stoltz
At long last! A story for
those who love wilderness and the adventuring spirit. Walking With The
Wild Wind is a book that will take you to the wild places, a story that
shares the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows of a wilderness wanderer.
Put on your hiking boots and come experience the laughter, the fears,
close calls and magical times of a unique backcountry journey.
Folksinger, adventurer, photographer, activist and artist, Walkin'
Jim Stoltz has taken to the backcountry of North America, walking the
last wild places for months at a time, nearly every summer since 1974.
For over thirty years Stoltz has celebrated the natural world through
his songs and concerts.
Now he shares his unique view of the wilderness through this
personal tale of a trip through the heart of Montana's last roadless
areas. He introduces us to the life of a long-distance walker, and
gives us a view of the natural world many of us will never get to
experience.
Jim's close calls with natural obstacles (brush fires, falls off
mountains, wildlife encounters, and river crossings) are woven
together with both humorous tales and more serious issues, such as the
impending death of his mother and the loss of wilderness. This book is
a must for anyone who has ever tossed a pack on their back and taken
off into the mountains, and for all those who have dreamed of it, too.
