Although women have always ventured into the outdoor world, it is only in recent times that the numbers have increased almost beyond count. Today's women are beginning to seek enjoyment in the outdoors for themselves rather than just as a companion. This is the first attempt--by one of the "new" outdoorswomen--to take the "dirt" out of enjoying this leisure freedom and to deal straightforwardly with those special things women want to know. There is much here about basics and specifics for minitrips (to sort of ease into it), guided trips (for longer stays out there), being independently feminine while being a part of a fishing or hunting expedition, spending some time with outdoor hobbies--and lots to help in retaining femininity, staying comfortable, learning and using camping skills, and keeping clean and well-groomed. Kathy Farmer began filling notebooks with her experiences and reactions long before she married an outdoorsman, and she has sharpened her skills through total commitment to everyday living of the outdoor life. She shares all of the fun, joy, and satisfaction the way she has found and made it in this handy guide for any women who wants to try it for the first time or more enjoy what she has been doing.
