    Books sub-forum in donating members section.

    Just an idea, but I think it would be cool to have a books sub-forum in donating members section. Of course it should be geared to outdoor related books and/or discussion of said books. I have seen a few small threads about certain books, or recommendations. I think it would fit in well with the backpacks, kitchen, etc sub-forums. I for one like to read and am always looking for new titles or reference materials. I think there is way too much information to simply start a thread like this. What do you think?

    Might make a great venue for lending books among members.

    Personally not interested as i don't feel there will be much discussion about said books, but rather the skills or techniques they contain. Those skills and the like fit into the other forums. Only benefit i see is for books about specific trips/adventures.

    +1 for the idea, I think it would help spread the word about some less known titles.

    I have found some real gems from other forums suggestions (different topics to here but you get the idea)

    Exposes you to more of a cross section and would encourage discussion in my humble opinion.
    I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

    I'm always looking for new outdoor books---great idea!
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    I think since the "Other Gear" forum doesn't have too much going on usually, it's been a fine place for books. But I guess I wouldn't mind if "Other Gear and DIY" became "Other Gear" and "DIY".
