Accidental Adventures written by Chris Lundgren and has been published by Lyons Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020 with Adventure and adventurers categories.
America's fascination with Alaska began at the turn of the last century, when Jack London and John Muir captivated readers with their fiction and nonfiction stories--and continues today with such popular books as Into the Wild and the explosion of Alaska reality TV shows. In such a giant and forbidding place, people lose their way. They hurt themselves. Their equipment fails. They clash with wildlife. And in Alaska, one stroke of bad luck--one small mistake--can mean catastrophe. This book recounts twenty true misadventures, all but one told from the survivor's point of view. Its chapters describe getting lost in the wilderness, bear attacks, dead-stick landings, snowmobile mishaps , overturned canoes, and even escape from a steaming volcano. Told as cautionary tales, these chapters are not only a nail-biting good read on their own, but an illustration of the many perils of living, working, and recreating in the Last Frontier.

In these acclaimed essays, Sherry Simpson recounts her experiences as an ordinary woman confronting the vast expanses of water and wilderness of her home state. Her adventures include a harrowing bear encounter and a near-death experience falling into a glacial river, but she also finds an Alaska of surpassing, almost supernatural beauty and power. These lyrical essays thoughtfully explore one woman's effort to map both a sense of place and a sense of self in a world at once comforting and unforgiving.

The path to an adventurous life seems straightforward: Crush at an outdoor sport; amass a legion of followers who drool at your hero shots on Instagram; host TED talks exhorting people to live their best life, brah. But there is another way: the way of the Wilderness Idiot. Author Ted Alvarez built a career and an outdoor lifestyle by simply not being smart enough to say no to things that will probably kill him, or at least embarrass him severely. From nearly drowning in pro kayak races to hallucinating on solo trips across bear-and-bug-infested wildernesses, his work exists to show that the outsider Everywoman and -man can have the spotlight. In a series of hilarious and insightful essays, Alvarez shows that you don’t need to shred sick lines to find adventure—you just have to embrace the blank spots beyond your comfort zone. That way lies self-knowledge, soul-quieting confidence, and the soul of wilderness. More than most, Alvarez knows outsiders belong outside—and he wants to welcome them into the tribe. The Wilderness Idiot airlifts readers to the world’s most remote places (in reality and in the mind) and make them feel so at home they’ll start dreaming about adventures of their own.

Few experiences in life are true adventures; even fewer are truly extraordinary. Rarely, very rarely are they both; where the past and the future collide in an unforgettable present moment. Where the senses, the intellect and the spirit and harmony in the experience. I hadn't imagined that an Alaska Peninsula bear hunt would be one of those adventures. I've experienced moments of truth when hunting—the rush of spotting game, the stalk, and the shot. But that changed on this hunt. Connecting to the transcendent silence of Alaska, nature as pure as it comes; that became my real moment of truth. It became my real world, more than the one I had le behind. My bear hunt was more than I expected and maybe more than I was prepared for, but not more than I wanted, or needed, and in the end it had little to do with getting a bear.
