Exploring Wilderness: From Heart-Racing Adventure to Tranquility
by John Rust
What would you do if a six-hundred-pound grizzly bear approached your campsite during an evening rainstorm in Denali National Park? How would you react if you heard a wolf growling just a few feet away at night outside of your tent in Yellowstone National Park? Would you be able to survive alone in remote Alaskan wilderness after your kayak fills with water on a cold rushing river surrounded by hundreds of hungry coastal brown bears? Have you experienced the electric jolt of a charging tiger in the wilds of India and lived to tell the story? Could you find your way back to civilization after losing your map while trekking across a maze of frozen lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness?
This book could save your life. Through it, you will gain insight into surviving these and other distressing situations in the wilderness. Exploring Wilderness will also show you how, when you venture into wilderness, you can rekindle ancient feelings of connectedness to the natural world: contentment, serenity, and sublime happiness.
