Manly Survival

One thing I came to realize from working with my 100% male group of Hatchet readers today? They don't all realize exactly what a "hatchet" is. Well, now they do, but they didn't all before.

Here's a webpage that might be of interest to your strappin' lads. There's a list of the 100 most-manly books or something like that on there, and Hatchet is right there on the list. Even though everyone would agree that Brian is in a very bad place right now, I think all of the guys would also agree that it would be pretty fun to some extent to be dropped in the middle of the woods for a couple months (or at least three or four days...). We are tying this in directly with our experience at Camp Tecumseh with the Survival Simulation.

Mrs. Shearman and I are having so much fun with this, it's amazing we've never tried this before.
