"Teens will gladly trade their screens for the engrossing IRL skills-constructing a fishing rod, whittling a twig- in 50 Things to Do in the Wild.” Martha Stewart Living"Compact and useful, 50 Things to Do in the Wild is a practical guidebook touched with whimsy. Alongside Maria Nilsson's green-ink illustrations, Richard Skrein explains basic woodcraft: how to build and start a fire; how to construct a primitive shelter; how to collect and purify water. He also suggests activities playful and soulful, such as making mudslides, taking night walks and enjoying the mindfulness of 'forest bathing.’" - The Wall Street Journal
