Description

I took my son out for our first camping trip and I could see an immediate difference in how he responded to my instruction as well as the pressures surrounding him. Soon, I invited some of his friends along for another camping trip. On the next trip, some of the other dads joined us. As our success with camping for boys grew, I started to feel guilty. I knew there were a lot more people out there who not only wanted, but needed, the same solutions I had found. Somehow, it just didn’t seem right to keep it to myself.After all, it’s not like I wrote the book. I was just lucky enough to come across it one day. Why not repackage Camping for Boys? You see, this amazing book had first been published several years ago. And while it was incredibly successful at the time, it eventually faded out the limelight. I was convinced that if it could be repackaged into a more usable and modern format, that it could bring the same benefits I now enjoyed to many other people. So, I brushed off the cover and got to work.

Description

Campers, anglers, hunters, and nature lovers--the woodland hideaway you've dreamed of is in these pages. From an elegant water gazebo to a traditional tipi, all can be found in RUSTIC RETREATS. The authors, who are experienced designers and builders, offer illustrated, step-by-step instructions for more than 20 low-cost, sturdy, beautiful outdoor structures.

This is a delightful book that promises to deliver loads of fantasy and fun for anyone in need of a rustic place to rest, relax, and retreat from the speed and stress of modern living. The Stiles provide more than 20 step-by-step plans for low-cost outdoor buildings, among them a grape arbor, a hillside hut, a water gazebo (floating!), a log cabin, tree houses, a wigwam, a garden pavilion, a yurt, and a river raft. A bit of individual creativity can make any of the plans described and diagrammed into unique personal statements or fantasies. Many of the plans are so simple they can be built in a few hours or in less than a day, and most do not require high levels of carpentry or building skills (though all will be useful as "learning projects" for the uninitiated). If you built forts as a kid--or wanted to--here's your chance to play at it again as an adult! --Mark A. Hetts
