Lost and Stranded

Wilderness Survival Tips
Timothy Sprinkle offers expert advice to keep you safe in the wilderness.

How fast can the average Grizzly Bear run and what can you do to avoid an encounter with one? Author and full-time journalist Timothy Sprinkle wants you to be safe in the wilderness if you are “Lost and Stranded.” The Best Wilderness Survival Tips delves into what you should do if you encounter a run-in with wildlife like the Grizzly Bear. You’ll find the answers in his comprehensive survival guide. 

Sprinkle offers 247 pages of vital information about how you can overcome obstacles if you’re by yourself in the face of danger. If you’ve planned a day hiking who knows what you’ll encounter along the way? What are some circumstances that can turn the peace and quiet in the woods into a nightmare?

“Expert Advice on How to Survive Being Alone in the Wilderness” highlights the common and not-so-common threats from stinging insects, weather events, hazardous terrain, and injury and illness. You might think you know how to treat a spider or snake bite or fend off a territorial animal that feels threatened by your presence but chances are you won’t remember those basic survival tips you learned in scouting years ago. Perhaps, you’re new to outdoor travel, and reading Sprinkle’s book could help to save your life. Survival Tips: Lost and Stranded is both a refresher and a Wilderness 101 course.

Sprinkle addresses questions readers might have related to more than two dozen scenarios and he utilizes advice from experts in a variety of fields from medical doctors to first responders. Test your skills and knowledge by answering the following questions.

Is a Mountain Lion perched on the side of a mountain a threat?

What’s the most dangerous wild animal you’ll find in the woods?

Why should you avoid crossing a stream that’s above your knee?

What are some symptoms of tick-borne diseases?

Each hazard is presented with (real-life) examples that are based on actual events.

Sprinkle is a full-time journalist and author with expertise in sports, business, travel, and lifestyle. Lost and Stranded was published by Skyhorse Publishing, New York, NY.

Outright Fishing Tales: A River Trilogy

New England Fishing
A naturalist’s account of the Vermont River, One River More, and Upland Stream

 

“Vermont River,” “Upland Stream,” and “One River More” are all books by acclaimed author W.D. Wetherell. He combined those three classics into entertaining and descriptive reflections of his most endearing fly fishing moments. A “Word at the Start,” hooks you and then reels you in as you read one tale after another.

“I had fallen in love with fly fishing as a teenager, thanks to my parents buying a summer house on a bassy Connecticut lake,” Wetherell wrote. “This led me to fly-fishing, and then a passionate reader as a kid-to the literature fly-fishing boasts of, the ‘fishing in print.”

Wetherell is an award-winning novelist with more than 20 books to his credit. A few of his other titles are “The Writing on the Wall,” “North of Now,” “Soccer Dad,” and “Summer of the Bass.” Vermont River is the first book in his fishing collection and a requiem to his love for fly fishing in Vermont. Trout Magazine deemed this selection as one of the 30 finest works about fly fishing. You won’t be disappointed, even if you’re not an angler – each of these works are indicative of Wetherell’s love of nature and family.

A River Trilogy is a fluid, gentle, and entertaining literary work that will leave you yearning for more stories. It’s truly a work of literary art. I encourage you to travel along on his journeys through New England, Montana, and Scotland’s most treasured waterways.
