Northwest Basic Training: Essential Skills for Visitors, Newcomers, and Native Northwesterners

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This how-to manual gives the skinny on a wide range of skills you'll need to thrive in the Northwest, including ways to shuck an oyster without amputating a finger, how to start your own garage rock band, and what to do if you suddenly find yourself wearing a mountain lion. The paranoid will especially enjoy the Deal with Disasters section, which gives instructions for how to survive a tsunami, what to do if you're bitten by a rattler, and routes to take if you need to escape a wildfire. Great for earnest visitors, brave newcomers, or grizzled old Northwest-lifers--real information, just in case.
