Good read

[Lyndsay-ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good little book about the reality of living in areas where there is a possibility of cougars being nearby. Talks about ways to keep yourself and family safe when out in the bush where there is a chance of having an encounter with a cougar.

I liked reading this author because he wasn't talking down, but gave the feeling like you were face to face having a conversation. He was fun and kept my interest.

The book is 15 years old so some of the stats in it are likely incorrect for today, so it would be interesting to see how much has changed.

A good book.
