- Board (and Other) Games to Play with Nature
138,95 kr. Fun for all ages--without any screens! Terrific and timeless gift From Checkers to Mancala to Snakes and Ladders, there's a game to entertain everyone This portable, charmingly illustrated book features 37 board and other games (plus a robust collection of riddles) that can be played anywhere you go. All of the games in Sticks, Stones & Pinecones are easy to set up and require only the materials you can sustainably forage around you, such as pinecones, pebbles, sand, leaves, and twigs. You might not even have to get up out of your camp chair! Some games are classic--even ancient--while others are newly invented. Whether at the campground, an urban park, or around your own backyard, players of all ages will enjoy these engaging games that range from simple to more challenging competitions. The featured games are grouped into single-player, two-player, and multiple-player options, with a focus on setups similar to the ever-popular board games people enjoy playing at home. From Nine Men's Morris to Stick Solitaire to Neanderthal Poetry, every game has been vetted by the author and her family and friends in outdoor settings.

- Moments of Wild Wonder in Fly Fishing
202,95 kr. River Songs is rich with bracing, authentic, generous stories--writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly fishing's clichés--the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a "victory" over a fish-- Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have "a long run with a tight crew." Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this "ridiculous activity" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope? River Songs focuses on the in-between moments and the unexpected revelations--awe, fear, frustration, doubt, joy--that are as much a part of fishing as tying knots and chucking flies. Readers ride along with Duda in battered pickup trucks, fish "between jobs," look longingly at unfished famous rivers while touring with a country-punk band, and wonder how a fishing trip led to getting a tooth pulled while being surrounded by trash-talking friends. They will find beauty, discovery, heartbreak, good dogs, and the wonder of nature within the expanse of Northwest landscapes and beyond.
