ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For Gerhard
There are many people without whom this book would simply not have been written. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for making it possible. First, Matt Wagner of Fresh Books Literary Agency, who was willing to take a chance on a first-timer, which is rare these days. Roslyn Bullas and Eva Dienel at Wilderness Press, who showed so much enthusiasm for this project that it made me want to work harder to live up to their expectations. My supportive friends, Tobey, Gill, Rosie, Francine, and Reg, who, despite our physical distance, are always there for me. My parents, Emile and Suzy, who always manage to be proud of me, no matter how strange my accomplishments. Gerhard, who is always there with a hug and a positive outlook—you’re both the angel over my right shoulder and the devil over my left! Thanks also to all of the people who were willing to share their camping experiences and stories with me, and are celebrated throughout the book. This book is about you, so keep on enjoying the great outdoors together!
