Description
Those who have enjoyed Trail Smoke – Crosswind to the Fire now have another offering of campfire entertainment as Lloyd Cushway continues his saga of outdoor adventures and escapades that can befall a mountain guide and hunter. Mellowing only slightly with age he recounts events that most of us wish we had been able to experience even if we are secretly relieved that it didn’t actually happen to us. Glowing Embers is a must read book for anyone who even dreams of travelling the high back country of British Columbia, and Cush’s off beat sense of humor is always very close to the surface. Underlying all the lighter moments is the wisdom of many years of applied experience that any outdoor person can relate to and heed. From unbroken horses to cantankerous moose, a reluctant school teacher, a very close encounter with a grizzly bear to a saltwater experience or life threatening wilderness accidents, all were considered a normal turn of events to be dealt with expediently as possible and laughed about later. Only once does he let his personal prejudice show, and it is one that all hunters should give careful consideration. Now the shadows are growing long, coffee is brewing on the fire, so pull up a chair and enjoy
