Reviews
"A very funny memoir. Tougias learned from his cabin experience and today he is one of New England's leading nature writers." --Book Views, PRAISE FOR THERE'S A PORCUPINE IN MY OUTHOUSE"This is the way natural history should be taught--by a good storyteller with a sense of humor." --Audubon Magazine, "This is an honest book that asks us to admit our ignorance of much of the natural process and our fears of all those unknown things that 'go bump in the night' when we visit friends in the country. Tougias tempers each small disaster with good humor and a growing love for a world that he at first finds completely foreign, but which he ultimately realizes he cannot part with." --Bill Eddy, author of The Other Side of the World, "Tougias recounts his experiences with candor and humor. He blends the adventures of Lewis and Clark with the vision of John Muir." --Cape Cod Times, NetGalley Review: 5 starsLast updated on 29 Oct 2021"Michael J. Tougias writes about buying a cabin in the woods of Vermont and wanting to live like a mountain man. He shares his adventures and misadventures, the mistakes he made, what he learned, and what did and didn't work for him. He is a storyteller, which makes the story come alive as you are reading it.He learned along the way he didn't want to be a mountain man, but a steward of the land. He didn't want to change his cabin or his land, and make it more of what he had at home, because he wanted to keep it the way it was, when he fell in love with this little A framed cabin and piece of land.He had a guestbook at the cabin, and each time he left, or a friend or guest came up, they would write a sentence or paragraph in the book of their thoughts of this visit which he shares in his story. His adventures takes us from Massachusetts to Vermont, and Maine, and many dirt roads, fishing holes, and woods, along the way. It was good for his soul, and it was good for mine as I read the story. He writes in a way that makes you feel you are right there with him at the time and living the adventure with him.Things I have in my state, as he talked about things, I stopped and thought about them, as I saw them through his eyes. I was taking these things for granted, and not paying attention to things, so as I was reading about them, I stopped and really looked at them, and saw what he saw, like the Luna moth. Being with him on his adventures in the book, was good for my soul, too. Sometimes, I laughed, sometimes I just relaxed, and I enjoyed the journey as I learned about the great outdoors through his stories.I received an ARC from Lyons Press."--Joan Wright, consumer reviewer

    Got the TV series combat, season 2 volume one from the seller and they shipped it out fast and well wrapped up for the journey. It arrived earlier than listed and in the condition they listed it as being. This is not a series easy to find out side of complete box set yet alone for the great price they sold it for. The seller showed great communication and I'd buy from them again without question. Good series and good seller.

    I was very surprised with the shipping. It felt like I ordered them one day and got them the next day. It came in a plain bubble wrapped Amazon package. It was exactly as described, and it was a good value for the money. I hope to do business with these folks again.
