Fall 2019 - Inside Outdoor Magazine

SURVIVAL WITH A SIDE OF HUMOR Certainly, survival situations are anything but funny, but avid outdoors people will appreciate author Mi- chael Powell’s tongue-in-cheek survival book that is at once entertaining and potentially lifesaving. While many of the 75 survival skills provide useful informa- tion, others, not so much. “Chances are you may never need to build an igloo or catch an eel,” Powell says. “But if it comes up, you’ll be in good shape af- ter reading this book.” The title is available through Fox Chapel Publishing. ATOMIC BACKLAND FR POLE Yes, these are fully functional telescoping ski poles, but they also are a set of screwdrivers. For the avid skier, you never know when you’ll need to adjust your din or change your beacon batteries. For the wannabe MacGyver, it’s a cool gift.
