My soon is a teenager now, but I sure wish I had this book when he was a bit younger! Even so he seems interested in some of the projects in it.

 

I didn't realize the involvement the author had with scouting http://www.bwcbsa.org/History/daniel_carter.htm

 

Do any of you own this and/or the other outdoorsy books he wrote?

 

And a quick question I have not yet been able to answer.... another parent asked me about "racial slurs" in the book?! I'm guessing maybe there were some references that would be non-PC in todays world...but I haven't come across them yet. Any thoughts?

 

I still think its a great little book. :)
