Adventurer's Guide

An accomplished adventurer presents why you need adventure in your life, its spiritual mechanics, and the worldview most amenable to outdoor and foreign endeavors, whatever the mode of travel. Topics include how to organize, develop courage, navigate, and defend yourself. Equally applicable to wilderness trips and international travel, over-nighters and multi-year voyages, it advises the prospective nest-leaver on how to face crucial tests and get the most out of a life-changing experience. Most humorously, it includes cautionary notes on some startling pitfalls, all of which the author has himself suffered.
