It’s that time of year when people are getting out and resuming favorite outdoor activities from hunting to fishing and just plain laid-back camping in the pristine wilderness where 3,000 other people are doing the same. I thought it was time to bring this post back from 2017 in case you might have missed it the first go-round.
Enjoy!

Title and Cover: Should the Tent Be Burning Like That? – VERY neat cover in keeping with his brand.
I am not a reader of Field and Stream magazine where this author has been a featured writer for more than 20 years. Should the Tent Be Burning Like That by Bill Heavey is a compilation of columns or articles he has written for various publications during the last several decades. The book explores more than an erudite knowledge of his subject.
The amazing thing here is the manner of speaking, the sense of humor, and the down-home self-deprecating, ah shucks pattern in which he delivers his collection of little stories.
