These are first-person stories of dads who haven't let real life (mortgage, marriage, career, kids) destroy their sense of adventure. If you're anything like Joe Kurmaskie and his legion of Adventure Dads, you're not going down without a fight. It's time to adapt and evolve, to turn your yearning for the wild into something for the good of the whole family. Bringing kids on outdoor expeditions leads to closer relationships, trust, respect, and physically and emotionally confident kids. Getting everyone up off the couch and out the door is an investment in your children that will pay dividends throughout their lives.
Each inspiring story from two dozen different Adventure Dads is book ended by lively practical guides for anyone who needs guidance in a new activity, with tips, resources, how-to advice, pitfalls, age and ability considerations, safety tips, and more. You'll be prepared for daytrips, weekend outings, weeklong trips, or epic season-length expeditions.
Subjects covered include sailing, sledding, surfing, rock climbing, bicycle touring, canoeing, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, dog sledding, dune riding, snorkeling, rafting, backpacking, mountain biking, snowboarding, geocaching, fly fishing, and skiing.
Joe Kurmaskie is the author of Metal Cowboy (Breakaway, 1999), Riding Outside the Lines (Crown, 2001), and Momentum Is Your Friend (Breakaway, 2006).
