Summary

Curious stories and facts from the world of hunting

Delve into the unexplored depths of hunting and discover stories and facts that sound so unbelievable that you can hardly believe them - that's what "Useless Knowledge for Hunters" offers. This book takes you on a journey through the world of hunting with a fascinating mix of humor, science and sheer amazement. You'll learn things you may never have heard before that are sure to enrich your knowledge and campfire stories.

Imagine being in Alaska and watching a hunter sitting in a tree being mobbed by a huge brown bear below. Or travel to the woods of Tennessee, where an abandoned backpack leads to a hidden 1920s moonshine still. And have you ever heard of a reindeer with three antlers? In Lapland, that's exactly what you'll find!

The stories in this book range from a hunter who witnessed a kangaroo holding his hunting dog in a headlock, to another who stumbled upon an abandoned Inca city in the depths of the Amazon rainforest. In the Serengeti, an impala was snatched by a crocodile at the last moment of his hunt and swallowed in a river. In Wyoming, a hunter impressively shot two bighorn sheep with a single shot. And in a remote forest in Romania, a hunter discovered a cave with prehistoric wall paintings of hunting scenes.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. "Useless Knowledge for Hunters" offers not only amazing stories, but also practical tips and advice. Find out which game meats have nutritional advantages over farmed meat, how best to nourish yourself during long hunting trips and which natural remedies and first aid techniques are most useful in the wild.

"Useless Knowledge for Hunters" is more than just a book; it is a gateway to a world of wonders and curiosities just waiting to be discovered. It's the perfect gift for the hunter in your life or for anyone who just wants to learn more about the amazing and often surprising world of hunting. A must for any hunting library!

    "Now after fifty years, it's time for Canada to stand up and cheer. Stand up and cheer everybody! The Olympics Salt Lake City, 2002, men's ice hockey gold medal: Canada!" —Bob Cole, CBC play-by-play broadcaster 
 
 
 
There was no iconic Paul Henderson moment, nor a Sidney Crosby golden goal, but Canada's 5-2 victory against the rival United States in the men's 2002 Olympic gold medal game wiped out fifty years of frustration for the nation that invented ice hockey. 
 
 
 
Canadians from coast to coast were whipped into a frenzy, with impromptu celebrations on streets like Granville in Vancouver, Yonge in Toronto, Ste-Catherine in Montreal, and Portage and Main in Winnipeg. 
 
 
 
Gold is the definitive chronicle of how the men of Team Canada made history. Marking twenty years since the momentous victory, Tim Wharnsby delivers the inside story of how Gretzky built the team and Pat Quinn got them to the gold medal, featuring exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and personnel.

    Traveling can often disrupt our usual routines, and one of the first things many people sacrifice while on the go is fitness. However, staying active during your travels is not only possible, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Fitness on the go is about making small adjustments to your routine that allow you to maintain your health, improve your energy, and help you stay balanced no matter where you are. This chapter will explore the benefits of staying fit while traveling, how to overcome common barriers, and how to set realistic fitness goals while on the move. 
Fitness during travel is not just about physical health; it’s also about mental well-being. Engaging in regular exercise can help reduce the stress and anxiety that often accompany travel, especially with tight schedules, time zone changes, or unfamiliar environments. Staying active releases endorphins, the body’s natural stress relievers, helping you stay relaxed and focused. Moreover, travel workouts can improve your sleep quality and keep your energy levels high, making your trip more enjoyable and productive. 
It’s common to feel that travel presents too many obstacles to exercising—whether it's lack of time, lack of access to a gym, or exhaustion from a busy schedule. However, by rethinking what exercise can be, these barriers become more manageable. Many exercises can be done anywhere with minimal to no equipment, and even short, effective workouts can help you stay on track. By identifying your personal challenges and addressing them head-on, you’ll realize that even in the most hectic travel days, a quick workout is achievable.
