Nothing brings you closer to the awesome beauty of nature--and its perils--than a wilderness canoe trip. Trouble can strike at lightning speed and make quick work of the unprepared, inexperienced or unobservant paddler. In this book, experienced canoeists confess their mistakes in true tales of hypothermia, near drowning, close encounters with rapids and wildlife, strandings, injuries and more.
You'll meet the canoeists who shoved off without one of their paddles and were quickly swept into roaring, rock-strewn rapids; the couple who tried to run unfamiliar rapids in a new and untested boat; and the cook who nearly drowned after preparing a Thanksgiving dinner.
