[Cal/an] displays the assurance and economy of a true woodsman, and applies humor as well." - San Francisco Chronicle This colorfully illustrated, highly entertaining, truly informative sequel to The Happy Camper looks at why people love the wilderness and how everyone from rugged canoe-trippers to family car-campers can derive more enjoyment from their time outdoors.
