Good /out/door literature? Need some things to read over the winter.

I was about to post. Literally summer has barely started. Then I felt dumb and realized the flawed logic.
Idk any good out books. Dunno last time I even read a book. Probably like the 3rd grade or some shit. Why not do some winter foraging instead?
The King James Bible.
Of Mice and Men
The Great Gatsby

A couple /out/ books I read recently.
>Walden - Thoreau is a bit of an annoying bitch
>The monkey wrench gang - I like Ed Abbey and this book was okay, a bit longer than it needed to be.
> the tent dwellers - reads like a kids school report on what they did over the summer but did make me want to go /out/ more
> the complete angler - some awesome poems and stuff, neat read if you like histoty, written in the 1600's didn't make me a better fisherman
Butcher's Crossing
The big two hearted river by Ernest Hemingway is great, very beautiful setting, very subtle themes. Superficially it's just a story about a guy fishing but it had more of an emotional effect on me than you would expect.

Hemingway's short stories are some of this best, if not his best work. there are many good outdoor stories there. I've fished the Fox River
John Gierach is an excellent writer if you like fly fishing. Another great writer from Michigan is Jim Harrison, who sadly passed away a month or so ago.

“Barring love I'll take my life in large doses alone--rivers, forests, fish, grouse, mountains. Dogs.”
― Jim Harrison, Wolf False Memoir
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”

Vegetarian-chaste-teetotaler-anarchist mooches a place to stay off of a friend claims living this lifestyle is so spiritual and rad or is it satire ahuehue.
Fuck Thoreau.
MOBY DICK
Joshua slocum's book
shackleton by huntford
Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York
anything Hemingway
roughing it by twain

Moby Dick is by far the best /out/-thing ever written and I literally know next to nothing about sailing.

Moby Dick is the greatest book.

>"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can."

Damn, it's about time I re-read that as an adult, a lot of it went over my head the first time.

As the other anon's said : MOBY DICK. It's amazing.
Tolstoy's the Cossacks is beautifull as well, great descriptions of the /ou/life.
And Turgenev's a hunter's sketches has some of the most beautifull scenery i've ever read in it.
The Old Man and the Sea. If you read it and didn't care for it try this audio version narrated by Charlton Heston.

A book that I never would have picked up had I not been required to, but couldn't put down once I started:
Bless Me Ultima

You sir are literally a faggot.
Seriously fuck you.
>Vegetarian
So the fuck what. He raised his own crop, instead of getting his meat from walmart like your poor ass. He chose a different path, so fuck him right?? no fuck you.
"and when my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes,--remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education..." in Walden, higher laws
>Chaste
Yes, by his own choice. Who gives a fuck besides fuck boys like you who will never get fucked anyways.
>Teetotaler
Same thing. Who gives a fuck. Thoreau didn't go into the woods to get tanked and hide from civilization like your stupid ass does in a state park next to a sink and shit house once a year.
>anarchist
Did you ever read Civil Disobedience you fuckwit? He calls for a better form of government, a more just system. more noble men and thinkers to inhabit it. But your stupid ass might not follow. Is he upset with society? Bet your stupid ass he is. Anarchist? no.
>mooches a place to stay
Because that bean field raised itself
>you're literally a faggot, 2nd edition
>claims living this lifestyle is so spiritual and rad or is it satire ahuehue
Yeah Thoreau was a transcendentalist. It's about intellectualism and novelty in nature. nature is rad you donkey fuck. living in it is rad.
>In Conclusion
go die

a man greater than anything you'll ever amount to
A cavern of black ice. The protagonist has some sweet /out/ skills and that part of the book is very realistic, tough the rest is fantasy. It always makes me itching to go /out/.
Yeah, it's meant for young readers, but fuck if I don't enjoy a good Gary Paulsen. /out/ as fuck.
