You're Not Lost if You Can Still See the Truck: The Further Adventures of America's Everyman Outdoorsman

Fakta

Humorous, insightful essays on outdoor life from the renowned contributor and editor of Field & Stream—“one of the best magazine writers in America” (The Wall Street Journal).

Living the life of an outdoorsman doesn’t necessarily take skill. After more than two decades of writing about his adventures (and misadventures), Bill Heavey has proven that being a true outdoorsman just takes enthusiasm, determination, and a willingness to, occasionally, make a fool of oneself.

You’re Not Lost If You Can Still See the Truck gathers together more than sixty of Heavey’s best stories from his work in Field & Stream, The Washington Post, and The Washingtonian. Including retellings of his adventures hunting ants in the urban jungles of Washington, DC; braving freezing winter expeditions in Eastern Alaska; attempting to impress ladies by immediately flipping over his canoe; and planning deer hunts around dad-duties, these tales are chock full of life, insight, and, of course, hilarity.

Here is a far-ranging and enlightening volume that traces a life lived outdoors, for better or for worse.

“To the list of great Field & Stream essayists … add the name Bill Heavey. His writing is funny, poignant, acerbic, and, best of all, always alert to the absurdities of life. ” —Patrick C. McManus
