  • Becareful not to include spoilers! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if the like your teasers!
How to Stay Alive in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Food, Shelter and Self-preservation That Makes Starvation in the Wilderness Next to the Impossible: Originally Published As Living Off the Country (1969 Printing, 0280595) 
"The ability to build a campfire swiftly and certainly in every type of weather that may one day besest us can, at a decisive moment, also mean the difference between existence and finality; and the way to acquire such a skill is a bit at a time over as long a period as possible, using on each occasion only whatever natural materials may be at hand." ~How to Stay Alive in the Woods by Bradford Angier


Ok, truth be told, I snagged this one from my son's book. I'm still sunk in academia and not very interesting academia at the moment. He's really into the whole survival thing lately. After reading this excerpt, I'm wondering what exactly is going on in his head...is he going to drop out of society or does he think things are really going to hit the fan? ha! ha! 

Ok...your turn. 
Please leave a comment with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 "teasers" in a comment here (if you don't have a blog)

Thanks & happy reading!

I probably should learn how to build a fire, clearly I would not survive. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/09/teaser-tuesdays-pretty-little-things.html
