Wildering: Anyone's Guide to Enjoying the American Wilderness Kindle Edition

Thousands of years ago, everyone lived in the wilderness. Today, most people live comfortably indoors. This is perfectly fine, of course, but many have completely lost touch with nature. Meanwhile, millions of acres of pristine wilderness are waiting to be enjoyed.



Wildering: Anyone’s Guide to Enjoying the American Wilderness can help reconnect people with the natural world—even those who have never set foot in the woods. Author Mick Tune has the answers to all the questions you’re afraid to ask, with information about equipment, packing, permitting, basic survival, and much more.



You don’t have to be in incredible shape or spend a fortune on equipment to enjoy the outdoors—all you need is a pair of legs and a spirit of adventure. Mick Tune wasn’t a Boy Scout, nor is he a professional mountain man—but he loves the wilderness, and he’s learned a lot over three decades of outdoor adventures. Tune is living proof that nature exists for everyone’s enjoyment; you just need the courage to take that first step.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoying the trails in our parks
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

The book is very informative and encourages people to get out and walk the trails in the parks. Mick also explains how to prepare yourself and family for your adventure. I have backpacked and hiked many trails and also volunteered in trail maintenance in local/state parks so I can relate to this book. There are funny stories of trail encounters and some blunders. Some may think this is crazy and no way but many may say I would like to try this. Read the book and go for a walk on the wild side. Get out an enjoy your local, state and national parks!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very much enjoyed the book

Very much enjoyed the book. Author has a very personable style, like you are sitting around a campfire sharing experiences. It has inspired me to begin slowly with some day hikes (like when I was a kid), but eventually make a trek into the back country of a few days duration. It is never too late to take on a new love for nature and the outdoors...way outdoors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Advice from an Experienced Outdoorsman

I probably have logged as many miles and seen as much wilderness as the author. However, I am always looking for any outdoor related information that can help me have a better outdoor experience. And I think that Mr. Tune has done a good job of imparting his outdoor knowledge through his book. Good job!

Proviso: I know the author personally (over 15 years) as a business colleague but especially as a friend. This book reflects the author exactly: transparent and practical. If you have any thought of going hiking anywhere in America's back country buy this book and become prepared. Your monetary investment will be returned numerous times over by following the commonsense guidelines offered by Mick. Happy trails.

Wonderful book! I have backpacked the Bechler River Trail referenced in this book. He describes it very well and provides "very helpful advise" to make any backpacking/camping trip a fun & safe adventure. Rookies and old-timers of the trail will like this book. Mick & Mike would be great trail guides.
