Young people these days are often homebound, entertaining themselves with the Internet, television, video games, and text messages, but completely disconnected from the reality of the great outdoors. Many have never experienced simple pleasures such as telling stories around a warm campfire, camping outdoors, or whittling a stick. Go Wild! is the perfect book for families with children ages 10 to 14 wanting to get in touch with the natural world.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 156-157) and index.

Is about tempting teenagers outdoors to enjoy the natural world. Provide clear, practical instructions for such activities as building a shelter, foraging for wild food, creating fire without matches and cooking on the hot coals, learning to make tools weapons from natural materials, and much more.
