Book Synopsis
A Wild Hunt
Wilderness as a Metaphor for Life

At any given moment on life's trail, there are 359 wrong turns waiting to be taken. This book is your compass.

Compiled from the unfinished notebooks of a legendary (if unrepentant) big-game adventurer and completed by a literary heir determined to see the work through, A Wild Hunt gathers 360 of the sharpest, strangest, and most soul-stirring quotations ever collected on wandering, hunting, and finding your way — voices ranging from Thoreau, Hemingway, and Aldo Leopold to Lao Tzu, Nietzsche, and Theodore Roosevelt, alongside sportsmen, poets, philosophers, and a few delightful oddballs history nearly forgot.

This isn't a dusty anthology to skim once and shelve. It's a field guide for the lost — equal parts trail marker and campfire conversation, built for the hunter who's really hunting for meaning, the traveler who prefers no fixed itinerary, and anyone who's ever suspected that the wilderness outside is just a mirror for the wilderness within.

Unapologetically old-school, gleefully irreverent, and built for readers who want their wisdom served without the safety rails, A Wild Hunt is the rare quote book you'll actually reach for again — whether you're packing for the backcountry or just trying to find your way through an ordinary Tuesday.

Large print edition. For the elderly and/or inebriated.

Khazarian movie moguls are wagging the dog, with an old shoe, to deflect attention away from the box-office bombs in the Ukraine, because the movie “Return of Khazaria” isn’t selling tickets, and is being canceled because of empty theaters. Movie-goers are voting with feet, by vacating theater seats, because gender swap is dead meat, according to grassroots drumbeat. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The debris field of used space metaphor is expanding, which of course will require additional expenditures on space and lunar reconnaissance and methods to counter the potential threat. It is also easier to sabotage a competitor’s lunar foothold if bombardments can be disguised as unintentional trajectories or consequence of evasive maneuvers. How do we know it was a rocket? It was a CCP missile mishap landing of construction supplies for Chinese restaurants up there. Apparently, they’ve staked claim to the entire thing. All the way from the double crash site to the mystery rocket to creating a storyline for the mushroom Earthlings to describing NASA scientists as “baffled.” An oxymoron to be sure (jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, or customer service/in the algorithmic 20th-Worst Century]. The only certainty, what I term “Mooning Earth News,” is that when it comes to the press a double cross is given. This book has more holes than a moon made of Swiss cheese.
