About This Book

Two cousins venture into the Rocky Mountain foothills to camp and hunt, establishing a dugout shelter and living by outdoor skills. The narrative follows their work to secure food and wood, encounters with predators including a threatening wolf pack and a grizzly, and expeditions after deer, bighorn, and other game. Episodes alternate between hunting successes and near-disasters—snowstorms, drifting in timber, and tactical improvisations such as burning out a honey thief—while emphasizing resourcefulness, comradeship, and practical bushcraft in a remote wilderness setting.
