Don't buy and read this book if you have recently had some kind of surgery where the doc has said, "avoid laughing." You're going to laugh if you read this book.
Bell is a long time Alaskan, which from his perspective, apparently means more opportunities for adventures and misadventures.
It's hard to call it anything but a misadventure when you and your buddies are standing outside your tent on a rainy night, a feeble penlight (your only flashlight) illuminating eight pairs of brown bear eyes around your campsite, and two sets of moose meat stacked on the alders at the edge of camp. Bell and his buddies survived this one, and an amazing number of others. There probably wasn't much laughing at the time, but in the retelling of it, he finds the humor in this and other situations.
There are dozens of stories here. Some are just good reading for anyone interested in Alaska outdoor stories. Others will make you chuckle, and others will make you guffaw.
If you've had a surgery like that I described, remember, I warned you.
