Truly the quintessential book that all must read before ever leaving their house. It may even save your life, or at the very least, your pride.

Reading Scavenger Hunt: a paper-back novel

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for some good advice, but this is just a collection of received wisdom, bad advice, and hilarious graphics. Even the advice on how to break off from a large group is pretty useless: Run ahead, dig a cat hole, shit and return. That works for pee, but digging a good cat hole takes TIME, guys. They also advise facing downhill while pooing. Don't do that. Gravity. Face uphill. If you must, fall sideways.

What sold me on the book were the pictures of a person trying to run away from various animals with pants around their ankles. This is funny, and "pull your pants up" is good advice, but then they contradict it with lions. Also, bear spray for bears. England doesn't have bears anymore, does it?

It's a funny gift book, yeah, but buy your camping friend a Delorme stove with that $9.95. Those things are awesome. I ❤️ my Delorme, even though it's a Nazi concept.
