I thought this might be an interesting discussion. Not exactly hammock talk, but I tend to read a good bit in my hammock. I'm currently reading the Hatchet series by Gary Paulsen and(like I needed it) it's really reminding me of why I love the outdoors so much. If any of you have some good recommendations I'm sure myself and others would like to hear them!
I have found myself constantly poring over All that the Rain Promises...And More. Studying each type of mushroom so that I can properly identify any I may come across. It has been quite handy when a buddy of mine and I stumbled upon a bunch of aspen boletes and morels.
I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!
I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.
It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
I can open up Horace Kephart's Camping and Woodcraft and start reading it anywhere and enjoy it over and over.
Edit: Read a digital copy of this 1917 classic on line free HERE at the Open Library.

"Pips"
Mountains have a dreamy way
Of folding up a noisy day
In quiet covers, cool and gray.

Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.
Surely, God never did.

+1 on the plant identification books!! I have all my books on my phone so I can do on-the-trail i.d.Originally Posted by Michelle the Camper
I am also reading "Mud, Sweat, and Tears" by Bear Grylls. Just finished "Into Thin Air" by John Krakauer. Very intense...

I like "Handy Farm Devices" good thing about this, you can find this
as a free legal download. This book teaches you how to make every
single device and tool to build and run a farm, including tending livestock.
Is this an entertainment book, or is this about hatchets?
What type of book is this? Is this about mushrooms?
Nevada Barr's National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon murder/mystery series. Kinda best to read them in order.
Hatchet is a fictional series about a boy who, after his plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness, has to survive with nothing but his hatchet. I first read in the series in the fourth grade and my cousin who is now in the fourth grade will not shut up about it so I decided to read it again. It's a very easy read but still a very good book.
I have heard of this series but seen mixed reviews. Is it worth the read?
