Some Of My Favorite Books

In this post, I figured that I would share the books that I got (or get) valuable information from.

I will write out a list and tell what they are by category, because there are a few that are just good reads. Here they are.

Books Just For Reading:

The Deer Pasture

Undaunted Courage, this is a book on the Lewis and Clark expedition, it has a lot of facts, 500 pages

Boy Scouts in a Trappers Camp, this one’s great, and any other by Burgess will be good too

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings

TRAPPING INFO BOOKS:

The Trap Collector’s Guide, this one by Parr and Andreski is a book I look through 3 times a day. It’s worth the price tag, and I like it even better because I met Tom Parr! (my favorite book).

Any books by S. Stanley Hawbaker have some of the best sets and information there is.

If you can find it, the Fur Trapper by Edward Phetteplace is good too.

Trapline 2000 by Hal Sullivan has some good modern information, and I have not read any of his other books, they should be good.

The Trapper’s Bible is an old book. It has great drawings, and advice from over 20 different trappers. However, some of it is hard or probably would not work.

MAGAZINES

American Frontiersman - this is a twice a year magazine that is worth all of the ten dollars it costs. There are articles on hunting, trapping, building, and a lot of other great stuff.

Backwoodsman - printed 6 times a year, this magazine is good for ideas of things to do, and it does interviews with some survival experts often.

Fur-Fish-Game one of the oldest best magazines ever printed, just go ahead and get a 17.99 subscription, its worth it. In it you will find trapping, hunting and fishing (hence the name), with articles by Tom Parr, and Hal Sullivan.

Trappers World owned by Tom Parr, this magazine stands right up there with FFG.
