Wilderness LifeAuthor(s): Calvin Rutstrum\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Minnesota Press, United States\nImprint: University of Minnesota Press\nISBN-13: 9780816640645, 978-0816640645\nSynopsis\nAn inspiring guide for true wilderness living-now back in print!\n\nIn his most personal book, outdoors expert Calvin Rutstrum makes an appeal for a more natural approach to life, one in which wilderness values predominate, and weaves that philosophy with narratives of a lifetime of experience and adventure.\n\nUsing his vast knowledge of campcraft, Rutstrum describes the wilderness life and details what one can expect from the wild-inspiration from exploring, pleasure from encountering natural settings, satisfaction after gaining experience, and mental stimulation from observation and problem solving. In the process he reveals many adventures, including his first trek into the deep Canadian wilderness, a journey by dogsled to bring out a human body, and a rescue mission to save.
