K2, The Savage Mountain

The Classic True Story Of Disaster And Survival On The World’s Second-Highest Mountain By Charles Houston and Robert Bates Introduction by Jim Wickwire Foreword by Jonathan Waterman

When eleven climbers died on K2 on August 1, 2008, it was a stark reminder that the world’s second-highest mountain has, for more than a century, been regarded as the most difficult and dangerous of all—for every four people who reach the top, one dies in the attempt. K2, The Savage Mountain tells the dramatic story of the 1953 American expedition, led by Charles S. Houston, when a combination of terrible storms and illness stopped the team short of the 28,251-foot summit. Then on the descent, tragedy struck, and how the climbers made it back to safety is renowned in the annals of climbing. K2, The Savage Mountain captures this sensational tale with an unmatched power that has earned this book its place as one of the classics of mountaineering literature. Charles Houston and Robert Bates organized the American expeditions to K2 in 1938 and 1953. Houston, a doctor of internal medicine, taught at the University of Vermont. Bates, a past president of the American Alpine Club, received his doctorate in English and taught at Phillips Exeter Academy.

Highest and Hardest

A Mountain Climber’s Lifetime Odyssey to the Top of the World By Chris Kopczynski At age 16 Chris Kopczynski carved the words “Everest/Eiger” into the handle of his ice axe, marking his goal to climb the two mountains known as the “highest and the hardest.” He accomplished that goal by the age of 33, becoming the ninth American to summit Everest and the first American to summit both the North Face of the Eiger and Mt. Everest. With the climbing addiction in his blood, he set new goals and became the twelfth in the world to climb the highest peaks on seven continents. Chris Kopczynski has climbed with John Roskelley for over 55 years. From their early days bouldering around Spokane, tackling the vertical and technical big walls of the Pacific Northwest to more challenging peaks around the world, they grew to become allaround mountaineers.

Self-Coached Climber

Toproping

By Dan Hague and Douglas Hunter

By Bob Gaines

A dynamic package of training material from a pair of expert coaches, The SelfCoached Climber offers comprehensive instruction, from the basics of gripping holds to specific guidelines for developing a customized improvement plan. Hague and Hunter base their methods on the four fundamental components of all human movement--balance, force, time, and space--and explain how to apply these principles to achieve efficient results. The DVD presents live demonstrations of training exercises and features an original documentary of a 5.14a/b redpoint attempt by Adam Stack and Chris Lindner.

“Toproping” is rock climbing with the rope anchored at the top of the climb, as opposed to “lead” climbing, where a climber places protection as he or she goes. Having a top anchor lessens the potential distance of a fall and creates a more controlled situation in which to hone your climbing technique. Toproping is at the heart of learning to climb, and being able to safely set up and manage toprope situations is a critical component in the development of any climber. While it seems simple on the surface, topropes must be rigged and configured properly in accordance with sound safety principles—and that’s where this book comes in.

Dan Hague is an 18-year veteran in the indoor climbing industry who has built and managed 4 climbing gyms, the latest in central Virginia. He also consults with gym operators and sits on the Climbing Wall Association’s Board of Directors.

Small-fly fishers must carefully observe the trout and constantly adjust their techniques as they go. Engle covers the difficulty of detecting strikes and how to best play trout caught on small flies and gives advice on the aquatic insect orders and how to fish the hatches, depending on the water and the stage of the hatch.

A Cast in the Woods

A Story of Fly Fishing, Fracking, and Floods in the Heart of Trout Country By Stephen Sautner Foreword by Verlyn Klinkenborg When angler and author Stephen Sautner bought a streamside cabin and some land in the heart of fly fishing country in the Catskill Mountains, he thought he had finally reached angling nirvana. Little did he know what loomed: a series of historical floods, a land rush over fracking for natural gas, and constant battles with invasive species, plagues of insects, and other pests. He takes on all of these threats – between casts for wild trout and other gamefish – and along the way gains a better understanding of stewardship and the interconnectedness between angling and the natural world. Stephen Sautner is the author of the acclaimed Fish On, Fish Off and editor of Upriver and Downstream, an anthology of fishing stories from the “Outdoors” column of the New York Times, where he has been an active contributor.

Dry Fly Strategies Volume 1

By Paul Weamer While fish spend most of the time feeding under the water, when you can encounter them rising to take insects floating on the surface, the experience can define the essence of fly fishing. In this no-nonsense, straightforward book, Paul Weamer—who has spent his life fishing the technical dry-fly waters of Penns Creek in Pennsylvania, the Upper Delaware River in New York and Pennsylvania, and the spring creeks of Paradise Valley outside of Livingston, Montana—breaks down the best methods, rigs, and fly patterns to catch more fish.

Clouser’s approach to fly design begins and ends onstream, with a lot of time spent in between at the workbench. His durable, easy-to-cast patterns consistently catch fish of every species-trout, carp, smallmouth, pike, redfish, albacore, and more.

Paul Weamer is Fly Fisherman magazine’s Mid Atlantic Field Editor and the author or coauthor of several fly-fishing books. He has been a professional fly tier, fly-fishing guide, and co-owner or manager of fly-fishing shops and guide services.

Fly Fishing for Trout

Fly-Fishing for Bonefish

By Tom Rosenbauer

By Chico Fernandez With Aaron J. Adams Ph.D

Fly fishers often ask Tom Rosenbauer how they can take their angling to the next level, and in his latest book the Orvis manager, expert fly fisher, instructor, tier, and award-winning author sets out to help them do just that. With forty years in the business, Rosenbauer knows the information fly fishers need to step up their game—whatever the level.

The silvery bonefish is the holy grail of flats fishing. Its speed and chameleonlike color make it a challenge to catch. This book covers finding bonefish from a skiff and while wading. Details on the bonefish’s environment and its food provide the background, and you’ll learn what tackle and flies to take and how to cast efficiently in the flats.

Tom answers the top questions asked by anglers looking to take the next step. He offers advice on casting and rigging techniques that are beyond the basic level taught in fly-fishing schools but are essential if you want to be more successful, and he includes QR codes to take you to videos of his teaching tips in action.

Chico Fernández is the author of Fly-Fishing for Bonefish and a regular contributor to the saltwater magazines, including Saltwater Fly Fishing and Florida Sportsman.

Tom Rosenbauer has been a fly fisher for fifty years and was a commercial fly tier by age fourteen. He has been with the Orvis Company for forty years, and while there, has been a fishing-school instructor, copywriter, public relations director, merchandise manager, and was editor of The Orvis News for ten years.

Successful Fly Fishing for Trout without Always Matching the Hatch By Tom Rosenbauer Foreword by Tom Bie

One of the most studied yet intimidating aspects of fly fishing for trout is an understanding of insect hatches. This unique book teaches fly fishers enough entomology to be successful, and instead of focusing on insect identification, it stresses learning how to approach trout, how to find where they feed, and how to present the fly so it is accepted as natural food without hesitation. It helps fly fishers catch more fish on dry flies, streamers, and nymphs, and teaches the angler more about trout than the life history of insects. Published in association with The Orvis Company.

It is the story of a living, breathing place where the footprints of dinosaurs, conquistadors, and Comanches have mingled just beneath the clear spring-fed waters. This book is an impassioned plea for the survival of this landscape and its biodiversity, and for a new ethic in how we treat fish, nature, and each other.

Do It Yourself Bonefishing By Rod Hamilton, with Kirk Deeter “This is the one we’ve been waiting for—the graduate course in that needle-threading of tactical skills and planning needed to truly score in this increasingly popular game of on-yourown bonefishing. This angler’s only wish is that he’d written it twenty years ago.” —Jerry Gibbs, former fishing editor for Outdoor Life Divided into easy-to-reference sections, this book will help you tackle the why, where, and how of self-guided bonefishing. Informed by twenty years of experience on the flats, Rod Hamilton and Kirk Deeter describe the allure of matching wits with one of fly fishing’s most elusive targets and discuss the reasons why more and more fly fishermen are seeking the challenge of catching bonefish without the aid of a guide.

Wild Fish, Wild Waters, and the Stories We Find There By Scott Sadil This collection of 22 stories set on fabled waters from Alaska to Baja confirms Scott Sadil’s reputation as a writer of literary fiction in the best sporting tradition. The stories capture the beauty of wild fish and the waters and landscapes where we find them and go beyond the fishing to explore relationships—between parents and children, husbands and wives, siblings, lovers, and friends—the real life situations that evoke the same win-lose drama played out between anglers and their prey. Scott Sadil is an author of essays, feature articles, and fiction about fly fishing. His work appears regularly in the significant flyfishing magazines and he writes the fly-tying column for California Fly Fisher.

Rod Hamilton has been an avid fly fisher for more than forty years.

Fishing Round the World By Leander J. McCormick Leander McCormick literally fished his way around the world. These many miles produced a catalog of stories in his book. From his first perch on the shores of Lake Michigan, to youthful pursuits of eels in England, to ultimate angling for the giants of the sea, he demonstrates a deep insight into both the fish and the people who pursue them. Having angled for and caught dozens of different species of fish, McCormick dryly comments, “Some were more sport to catch than others, but I assert that all fishing is good, though some is better”. Series: Blue Water Classics Leander J. McCormick was an American inventor, manufacturer, and philanthropist and a member of the McCormick family of Chicago. He and his brothers are considered among the fathers of modern agriculture due to their part in the development of the McCormick Reaper and the International Harvester Company.

Hoover the Fishing President

Portrait of the Private Man and His Adventurous Life Outdoors By Hal Elliott Wert

In a presidency plagued by the Depression, in a time when the country was poised between the agrarian society of the past and the advent of a modern professional class, Herbert Hoover faced numerous challenges. A thinker and a doer who shaped the way we live today, Hoover found relief from the stresses of his professional life in his pastime, fishing. Herbert Hoover fished near his hometown of West Branch, Iowa, as a boy and then moved to Oregon, where he fished the Rogue, Willamette, McKenzie, and Columbia rivers. As a young man, he attended Stanford and fished and camped throughout the West during breaks. He fished and spent time in the outdoors throughout his life and especially in his years as president. He founded Cave Man Camp at Bohemian Grove north of San Francisco, a yearly getaway for powerful Republicans, and Camp Rapidan in Virginia while he was in the White House. In addition to freshwater fishing, Hoover enjoyed fishing the salt. On trips to Florida later in his life, he stalked bonefish and fished for permit and the larger species, such as sailfish.

On the Bow

On the Cains

By Bill Horn

By Brad Burns

Veteran saltwater angler and Keys resident Bill Horn shares his years of experience pursuing tarpon, permit, and bonefish and captures the magic and mystery of flats fishing around the world. Not only are biology, behavior, and tactics for the fish covered, but Horn also discusses famous destinations and profiles legendary guides. Guide interviews, fly pattern recommendations, and the latest research round out the instructional information.

A historical look at and current guide to the Cains River in New Brunswick. There is almost a mystical aura surrounding the Cains and its Atlantic salmon and brook trout fishery. Only about a third of it was ever settled and then lightly, and by the middle of the twentieth century settlers had all given up and the river reverted to completely wild, which it still is today. The book also explores the Cains’s relationship with the Miramichi River, in particular the Black Brook, the biggest and most productive pool on the river. In low water, a substantial portion of the Cains’s fall run of fish stacks up there waiting for rain.

Love, Fear, and Fascination in the Pursuit of Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit

Bill Horn is a mostly retired natural resources/wildlife law attorney whose career focused on natural resource management and law as well as fish and wildlife conservation. As Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish, Wildlife and Parks in the Regan Administration, he played an active role in the early stages of the Everglades restoration program and elevated fishery programs within FWS.

Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas

Tales of Swordfish and Tuna

This collection, first published in 1925, describes Grey’s fishing adventures in exotic locales throughout the Pacific Region. It was one of Grey’s boyhood dreams to own a beautiful white ship and to sail her into lonely tropic seas. The pieces in this book are the result of those happy sailing and fishing days.

Zane Grey fished up to 300 days of the year. But, with all that time on the water, there was nothing more exciting or more compelling than the really BIG fish—the giants of the sea. Blue fin tuna are (even today) still sometimes pursued with harpoons! There’s the story of a swordfish that was hooked at 10:30 in the morning and played until 11:30 that night—only to...! Tales of Swordfish and Tuna will dazzle and thrill any fishing heart.

Chasing Denali

The Sourdoughs, Cheechakos, and Frauds behind the Most Unbelievable Feat in Mountaineering By Jonathan Waterman The history of mountaineering began on Denali with the legendary story of four gold miners (called “Sourdoughs” because they carried sourdough starter with them at all times) who claimed to have summited after climbing more than 8,000 feet of steep snow and ice, then back down again—all in a single and incredibly dangerous day in 1910. Lugging a 25-pound, 14-foot flagpole to mark their success, they took on North America’s highest peak using sheet metal crampons, coal shovels, hatchets, and alpenstocks to balance their way up the mountain. Jonathan Waterman is mostly known for his time exploring the North, detailed in seven of his twelve books and in journals such as the Washington Post, The New York Times, Adventure, Hooked On the Outdoors, Outside, Backpacker, Climbing and Rock and Ice.

The Greatest Hunting Dog Stories Ever Told Edited by Lamar Underwood Diversity reigns in the dog world. There are pointing breeds, retrievers, hounds. There are many hunting dog cemeteries, and field trial halls of fame. For many hunters, the work of the dog in the field is the real purpose of the hunt. The simple pursuit of a gamebird or animal is not the purpose of going afield. The dog work—the radar-nosed probing of cover, the searching gait to check out fields, the retrieving of downed birds—moments spent in these elements are the real reason hunters have bonded with their dogs. The stories here are real accounts of hunting dogs in action. The dogs may be gone now, but the affection they provided and their performances in the field are everlasting treasures. Lamar Underwood is the former editor-inchief of Sports Afield and Outdoor Life and former editorial director of the Outdoor Magazine Group of Harris Publications in New York.

In this fourth volume of the “Secrets of the Forest” series, outdoor educator Mark Warren describes the details of how to make and operate the tools that hurl projectiles toward a target including: “firing” techniques of a sling, spear, atl-atl, bow and arrow, throwing knife, tomahawk, and blowgun; a comprehensive lesson in the art of archery that includes the direct, lob, and clout shots, as well as shooting at a moving target; primitive precision methods of creating your own Cherokee self-bow and rivercane arrows; cementing projectile skills through a gamut of games and challenges.

For more than three decades, Bear Attacks has been the thorough and unflinching landmark study of the attacks made on humans by the great grizzly and the less aggressive, but occasionally deadly, black bear.

Traditional Crafts and Skills from the Country

Training Retrievers

By Monte Burch and Joan Burch

By Bobby N. George Jr.

A growing number of people are intrigued by the “homesteader” experience and the idea of doing things themselves, whether they own a big spread in the wilderness or live on a small plot of land in the suburbs. Traditional Crafts and Skills from the Country presents the practical information necessary to become more self-reliant at home, pick up a new hobby, or even learn a skill that may provide a secondary income.

This book includes complete techniques and training guidelines for lining, marking, obedience training, play training, handling doubles and triples easily, land and water retrieving, the forced retrieve, techniques to make your dog a more effective waterfowl retriever, and starting puppies through finishing a dog — as well as fifty years of reminiscences about dogs, trainers, waterfowl hunts, and field trials.

Monte Burch has been writing about the outdoors for four decades, and is the author of thousands of magazine articles and more than fifty books.

The late Bobby N. George, Jr. worked as a sports writer for several newspapers while honing his dog-training skills through afternoons in the field with the legendary trainer Cotton Pershall.

Joan Burch, born a city girl, first joined her husband on his family’s farm, even performing butchering chores. Lyons Press 2022 • 272 pages Paperback 978-1-4930-6198-3 • $24.95 / £18.95 eBook 978-1-4930-6199-0 • $23.50 / £17.95

Gunfitting

Achieving the Ideal Fit for the Game and Clay Shot By Don Currie

Expert shooting coach, teacher, and competitor Don Currie delivers a solid book on gunfitting based on a lifetime of experience gained from working with Orvis and Purdey. Don knows that shooting with a properly fitted shotgun is critical to a shooter’s success, and he delivers on the art and science of fitting proper shotguns. The science requires the gunfitter to understand the structure of the shooter’s body and what stock specifications are needed to accommodate the shooter’s physique. To master the art of the process, the fitter must understand how shooters shoot and how the eye and brain see and read the target. The fitter must critically evaluate the shooter’s stance, mount, and level of experience along with taking into consideration the shooter’s discipline and style and how the shooter will develop and evolve.
