Craig Caudill Livres

This comprehensive, modern guide teaches outdoor enthusiasts how to become experts on what is arguably the most important wilderness survival skill despite and even because of the GPS.

Why is Brock Skinner always finding problems in the Eastern Kentucky Appalachian town of Hazard? Brock became wealthy by the age of thirty. He doesn't have to work anymore, and tries to stay out of trouble. His wife, Maude, owns and runs the most beautiful winery in Eastern Kentucky. She learned quickly he had a penchant for finding mischief that no one else suspected. Sheriff Nathan Connors claims there wouldn't be any crime in Perry County if Brock would only move away from Hazard. Appalachian life is on full display in these police procedurals.The Gregorian calendar, used by North Americans since the sixteenth century, has been viewed by superstitious Appalachians as a journey through weather patterns, mimicking the various stages of human life. The average person, by the grace of God, who survived the gauntlet of immeasurable mortal afflictions, hoped to live in the mountains until the ripe old age of ninety-six, which in terms of the calendar, meant each month represented about eight years of existence. Many hardy souls were still taking nourishment at ninety, but making it past ninety-six was considered a daunting task.

Collection of 20 short stories that are tales of Kentucky horse racing and bourbon.

Brock Skinner and his wife Maude always took Grant Bell for a harmless, if slightly eccentric, regular at their winery in Hazard, Kentucky. But ever vigilant for adventure and injustice, Brock is skeptical when he presses Grant for details about his past. Brock's relentless pursuit of the truth takes him to Ohio, West Virginia, and Arkansas to right the wrongs that an incident, decades ago, put in motion.

The narrative explores a pivotal moment in American history, pinpointing 1967 as a turning point away from its Judeo-Christian foundations. It centers on two compelling women: one who inspires a man to embrace change and move beyond nostalgia, and another who leads him into a realm of darkness and greed. Through their influences, the story delves into themes of transformation, moral conflict, and the impact of personal relationships on broader societal shifts.

Extreme Wilderness Survival is a compilation of the real-life tactics that wilderness instructor Craig Caudill has built and really used, especially during two nature sabbaticals when he lived in the woods for nearly 30 days with only a knife.

Die Natur kann uns so viel erzählen – wenn wir nur lernen, genau hinzusehen. Eine Herde Schafe kann das Wetter vorhersagen, der Polarstern bietet auch in dunkler Nacht einen Orientierungspunkt und die Form der Dünen in der Wüste verrät, aus welcher Richtung der Wind weht. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie wir die Zeichen der Natur deuten können, und ist zugleich eine Reise durch die wunderbare Vielfalt der Landschaften unserer Erde: von der eisigen Arktis über die Alpen bis zu den tropischen Regenwäldern am Amazonas – und sogar direkt vor der eigenen Haustür gibt es vieles zu entdecken. Ein Buch für alle, die neugierig sind und die Geheimnisse von Landschaft und Lebewesen entschlüsseln wollen. Denn wer die Zeichen der Natur versteht, sieht die Welt mit anderen Augen.
