Extreme Sleeps Adventures of a Wild Camper

Phoebe Smith

In a sometimes scary, frequently funny, and intriguing journey around the UK, Phoebe attempts to discover and

conquer its wildest places

I had become official infatuated with what I call "extreme sleeping"-a kind of addictive high-adrenaline sport-but

rather than being defined by pushing the boundaries of physical activity, my particular pursuit was marked by a

distinct lack of it.

Veteran globetrotter Phoebe Smith sets out to prove that outdoor adventures are available in the UK which rival

anything found elsewhere in the world. From spending the night in the decaying wreckage of a World War II

bomber at Bleaklow, to pitching next to the adrenaline-inducing sheer drops of Lizard Point, Phoebe's extreme

sleeps defy her perceptions of the great outdoors and teach her about herself along the way.

Summary

Phoebe Smith is the author of The Camper's Friend. She regularly writes for Country Walking, the Guardian,

Trail, and Wanderlust.

Grandma Gatewood's Walk The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail

Ben Montgomery

Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of

clothes and less than two hundred dollars. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-

old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955,

having survived a rattlesnake strike, two hurricanes, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem, she stood atop

Maine's Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do

it, and I've done it."

Grandma Gatewood, as the reporters called her, became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail

alone, as well as the first person-man or woman-to walk it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking

celebrity and appeared on TV and in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public attention she brought to the

little-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the lousy, difficult stretches led to bolstered

maintenance, and very likely saved the trail from extinction.

Born in a Tent How Camping Makes Us Australian

Bill Garner

Examining Australia’s long and proud history of camping, this meditation follows the story from campfire to gas

bottle and from a tarp slung on saplings to polymer tents and aluminum poles, revealing as it does so the ways in

which camping connects individuals to the land, to the past, and to one another. Historian Bill Garner recalls that

Australia was first settled as a campsite, and that though the Europeans brought tents, they hardly invented the

concept of camping—the Aborigines had been camping for millennia prior. He examines how camping has helped

nurture some of the most widely held values in Australia: egalitarianism, tolerance, and the premium placed on

practicability. As it connects holiday camping to the whole story of Australian settlement and the ancient ways

of making a home on that remote continent, this beautifully written and illustrated book encourages readers to

examine their own histories of camping and observe how their family stories and the national story are entwined.

Summary

Bill Garner is an award-winning historian, screenwriter, and playwright, as well as an avid camper. His doctoral

dissertation on the history of camping in Australia won both the Dennis-Wettenhall Prize and the Australian

Historical Association’s Serle Award.

Product ImageHuman Planet Nature’s Greatest Human Stories

Dale Templar, Brian Leith, Timothy Allen

An extraordinary celebration of man-the ultimate animal.

Human Planet is the first natural history documentary series to turn the camera on ourselves, the human

species. Taking the same approach as Planet Earth, it will explain how human beings have learnt to live on every

habitat, from our origins in the jungle to our domination of grasslands to the desert, ocean, rivers, the creation

of our own environment, urban, and the challenges of the Arctic mountains.

But this is also a story about how we have learnt to adapt to the most inhospitable landscapes and work in

partnership with other animal species. From the Bajau sea gypsies to the Korowai tribe of West Papau who live in

treehouses, the honey birds in Kenya that lead the Masai people to honey, the men who fish with dolphins in

Brazil and the Papuan tribesmen who mimic the courtship dances of the birds of paradise, this is the remarkable

story of our relationship with nature.

The Green Website Guide For Better Living

Deborah Gray

Regardless of the endless worldwide arguments and discussions concerning the planet's natural resources and

the impact of global warming, there is no doubt that people will increasingly need to take more responsibility for

making sustainable choices. The internet hosts a wealth of information on all things green and is an excellent

resource for finding out more about the issues, honing down information, and finding practical solutions at a local

level; yet the sheer volume of information, much of which is contradictory, can be bewildering. To help readers

cut through the mass of material, this essential guide to more than 500 green websites provides a clear map of

the truly significant and relevant sites currently out there. Sites are divided into Global-ecology, the carbon

debate, animals, plants, the natural world, and oceans, Domestic-energy, home improvements, cleaning,

recycling, gardening, and water, and Living-food, personal care, finance, fashion, shopping, transport, travel,

funerals, pets, volunteering, and the office. With practical, realistic advice; areas of controversy ...

Wilderness Navigation Handbook Fred Touche

Designed for both land and water use, this comprehensive guide helps unlock the complexity of map and chart

reading as it relates to navigation. Beginning with detailed technical descriptions of the tools of navigation-a

compass, an altimeter, a GPS system, and a sextant-this handbook shows how to use these tools either

individually or in combination with each other to navigate any area. Factors that cause tools and techniques to

fail are discussed, such as why an altimeter often shows the wrong elevation, a GPS position is sometimes off

track, and the sun often points in an unexpected direction. Twenty-one real-life scenarios provide practical

wisdom for even the most intrepid navigator. Specific information on using the moon for directions and the stars

for position, measuring boiling water temperature for elevation, map projections, map datums, great circle routes,

and the UTM/UPS grid system is included.

Summary

Fred Touche is a technical writer and has been an avid hiker, skier, kayaker, and mountain climber for 37 years.

He lives in North Vancouver, British Columbia.

Amazon Girls Handbook Becky Thacker

Think ladies' garden clubs. Think hiking clubs. Think bird watchers. Think competent women in sensible shoes.

Think about the Amazon Girl oath, which says, "As an Amazon Girl I promise to always try to be out and proud,

to be kind to the beasts, the children, the very old, to live the good life, and never sweat the small stuff."

Becoming an Amazon Girl is a process. Novice Amazon Girls are known as Tomboys when they learn the oath, the

ideals, and the motto: "We're prepared for a few things." When a Tomboy stomps up to Amazon Girl she will

begin to earn badges and to select a path (Warrior or Mistress). Supremely dedicated Amazon Girls may aspire to

the ranks of Matriarch or even Goddess.

For the less organizationally inclined, the handbook supplies suggestions for activities to build character (or

not!), organize outings, improve home life, think about spirituality, support community, learn new skills or have

fun, inexpensively.

Amazon Girls Handbook is a humorous self-help book and a guide for enhancing life. While the focus is on

lesbians, everyone can benefit from its ideas...

Longbows and Archery Brian Williams

A powerful and iconic weapon, the longbow dominated Medieval warfare in England. From the Hundred Years War

to Hastings, Robin Hood and Agincourt, the longbow was also used to a devastating effect in naval battles. Kings

of England encouraged the use of the longbow by sponsoring tournaments with prizes for successful archers. All

other sports were banned on a Sunday except for archery. At any particular time, England would have a large

pool of experienced archers ready to be called up for war. Each English shire had to provide the king with a

certain number of trained archers per year-and this was enforced by law. But where did the longbow originate,

and why did it come to dominate archery in this way? The Pitkin Guide to Longbows and Archery explores these

questions, and looks at the ordinary men who used bows and arrows as soldiers and in their day-to-day lives.

This book is about sporting terriers, that much-loved, quintessentially British, quite admirable group of dogs,

favored for centuries by the more humble type of hunter. Sporting Terriers is not a manual covering training,

researched and brimming with information, it covers the emergent terrier breeds and foreign ones, as well as the

long-established pedigree breeds of the show ring.

From the Deer to the Fox The Hunting Transition and the Landscape, 1600-1850

Mandy de Belin

Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the sport of hunting was transformed: the principal prey changed from

deer to fox, and the methods of pursuit were revolutionized. Questioning the traditional explanation of the

hunting transition-namely that change in the landscape led to a decline of the deer population-this book explores

the terrain of Northamptonshire during that time period and seeks alternative justifications. Arguing that the

many changes that hunting underwent in England were directly related to the transformation of the hunting

horse, this in-depth account demonstrates how the near-thoroughbred horse became the mount of choice for

those who hunted in the shires. This book shows how, quite literally, the thrill of the chase drove the hunting

transition.

Archery The Art of Repetition

Simon S. Needham

Written by an acknowledged expert, this invaluable book is aimed at archers of all levels, from those starting out

started in archery, the costs involved, choosing and using equipment, and the basics of shooting; setting up

your equipment and initial tuning; the biomechanics of shooting; the tactics and preparation work involved in

archery competitions; physical fitness, nutrition, and psychology; arrow selection and preparation; making

bowstrings; and shooting techniques, improving performance, and the fine-tuning of equipment.

Archery in Action Bow Set-Up, Tuning and Shooting

Simon S. Needham

Successful archery depends on repeating a shot time after time-to do this, the bow must be set up correctly,

and then tuned to the archer. This technical film explains a 12-point process of setting up the bow. Simon puts

a bow together, analyzing each aspect that can affect the archer's accuracy. He then explains how to tune the

bow to achieve the optimum match between the bow, the arrow, and the archer, before advising on how to

improve your shooting. This DVD, a companion to the Archery: The Art of Repetition, is essential viewing for

archers at all levels, as Simon explains how any archer can get the most out of their equipment and perfect their

shooting style.

The Art of the Catapult Build Greek Ballistae, Roman Onagers, English Trebuchets, and More Ancient Artillery

William Gurstelle

Whether playing at defending their own castle or simply chucking pumpkins over a fence, wannabe marauders

and tinkerers will become fast acquainted with Ludgar, the War Wolf, Ill Neighbor, Cabulus, and the Wild Donkey-

ancient artillery devices known commonly as catapults. Building these simple yet sophisticated machines

introduces fundamentals of math and physics using levers, force, torsion, tension, and traction. Instructions and

diagrams illustrate how to build seven authentic working model catapults, including an early Greek ballista, a

Roman onager, and the apex of catapult technology, the English trebuchet. Additional projects include learning

how to lash and make rope and how to construct and use a hand sling and a staff sling. The colorful history of

siege warfare is explored through the stories of Alexander the Great and his battle of Tyre; Saladin, Richard the

Lionheart, and the Third Crusade; pirate-turned-soldier John Crabbe and his ship-mounted catapults; and Edward

I of England and his battle against the Scots at Stirling Castle.

Littlenose the Hunter John Grant, Ross Collins

It's time for Littlenose to learn a little responsibility-so he goes hunting with the adults and is told to build the

campfire. Chaos ensues when he stokes the fire a little too enthusiastically, but, as always, he manages to

redeem himself. In other stories, Littlenose manages to catch a huge salmon all by himself (but somewhat loses

his appetite for it), and goes on an expedition to collect yellow bogweed from across the marsh. He also has a

holiday with his clever Uncle Redhead (who turns out to have a LOT to talk about), and goes to visit his cousins-

who are scared of Bigfoot! Also, Two-Eyes loses his patience when Littlenose pelts him with berries (a mammoth,

like an elephant, never forgets): but how will he get his revenge?

Summary

John Grant is the author and illustrator of 13 books in the classic Littlenose series written between 1968 and

1993. Ross Collins is the author of Busy Night and Germs and has illustrated many children's books, including
