Return to the Hollowtop Outdoor Primtive School, LLC Home Page. Tom, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write Participating in Nature, its been a wonderful help to me in my outdoor experiences. 
For years i have searched the internet for information on "survival" or "outdoor skills" but with my dumb luck, never turned up much useful info. I finally "am a kid flipping burgers" (or used to be) so i had enough money to purchase a few books on the subject, including yours. Needless to say i have finally found some very useful skills to experiment with. Even though i have spent my whole life growing up in the suburbs, my most memorable experiences have always been of the outdoors, from family camping trips to boy scout backpacking excursions into the rockies, i have truly found happiness and fulfillment from nature. Again, thanks for your words! They have been very helpful. --Aaron Armstrong |
