I thought that might be it; I knew the author and the partner in his "hippy" farm in my home region of BC, was on the first foresty crew I was assistant boss of, 1969.

I have the book, read it and strongly disagreed with some of his opinions, still do. I like him, but, he definitely has an agenda and one that is not always realistic, IMHO.

The issue is that he is NOT a "bushman" and while a decent, pleasant and sincere person, his "creds" to me are NOT quite the same as, for example, Phil Shoemaker.
