Timber! Learn how to wield a chainsaw safely—and other lumberjacking skills.
While the lumberjack look may be trending among the fashion-forward crowd, lumberjacking is a useful real-world skill. An amateur with a chainsaw or an ax is dangerous to both people and property. Fortunately, experienced woodsman and outdoor writer Len McDougall shares his thorough knowledge of how to fell trees the right way—safely—with the use of a chainsaw, handsaw, hatchet, and ax in Modern Lumberjacking.
In addition to providing tips for bringing trees down, he also includes information on:
Wood identification
How to buck logs properly
How to stack and age logs
| |  | | The Complete Tracker
More than a guide to identifying tracks, The Complete Tracker is a complete instruction manual for hunters, photographers, and animal-watchers who want to actually track down wild animals.
The standard in field tracking guides, The Complete Tracker approaches the ancient science of reading sign from the perspective of a Native American tracker of old. Time-honored tracking skills are masterfully blended with hard modern science to create the only guide to tracking any outdoorsman will ever need. | |  | | The Mackinac Incident
The Mackinaw Incident
Back cover blurb.
"The Mackinaw Bridge, a five-mile long suspension bridge that has served to connect Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas since Eisenhower was president. Serene on a balmy summer's day, or too lethal for traffic to cross when the Great Lakes turns stormy, it's the busiest stretch of Interstate Seventy-Five in the United States.
Especially on Labor Day. During the annual Bridge Walk, tens of thousands of Michigan residents and visitors, led by the state's governor, fill the bridge's northbound lane and hike from the Lower Peninsula to the Upper Peninsula. With projected casualty rates that make the World Trade Center disaster look like a minor tragedy, the Bridge Walk is a perfect time and place for American-hating Philippe Aziz to strike a meaningful blow for his brand of Islamism. Two plutonium dirty-bombs remote-detonated below the bridge's roadbed at the right time would kill tens of thousands.
Survival instructor Rod Elliot finds himself an unwilling obstacle to Aziz's plans. Already regarded with suspicion by local law enforcement, unable to return home without being arrested, Rod finds himself with no direction to go except head-on against a team of trained terrorists. The terrorists are rabid killers all, and fugitive Rod is the only person who can stop them. But he's in over his head."
