The Backcountry Bucket List
()
About this ebook
I took the idea of the "bucket list" and applied to my favorite things to do in the backcountry. Most of the things in this book will rock you out of your rut and make you FEEL ALIVE.
It also provides a nice list of cool things to do if you often get bored in the backcountry. Plan your trips with these bucket list things in mind. There is more to the backcountry than summiting mountaintops.

The Backcountry Bucket List - Darin Letzring
Introduction
I had a lot of fun writing Yellowstone's Backcountry Cutthroats
because I got to tell everyone about one of my favorite things. Isn't it funny how easy it is to talk about the stuff you really like and enjoy and are passionate about?
Being in the backcountry is my favorite vacation time. Honestly, if I could figure out how to live there, I probably would. I hope that this book will expand everyone's love of the backcountry, whether they've put a thousand miles on their boots or they are planning their first fifty. I want to give you reasons to get away from the roads, away from the people, and really get into the flow of the backcountry.
So, yeah, I took the idea of the bucket list
and applied it to my favorite things to do in the backcountry. If you don't know, a bucket list
is a list of things to do before you die. In this case, it's things you need to do in the backcountry. It also provides a nice list of cool things to do if you often get bored in the backcountry. Plan your trips with these bucket list things in mind. There is more to the backcountry than summiting popular mountain-tops.
I didn't add fly-fishing and skiing into this list because those can be books completely by themselves. Suffice to say that if you get a chance to fish in the backcountry, you should definitely do it. If you get a chance to ski in the backcountry, jump on it! The fresh pow is awesome, and you should really search out the opportunity to spend the night in a yurt in the middle of the winter.
The goal of this book is to give people ideas of what they can do in the backcountry, things that will fill their mind with visions as they pull themselves away from a television, unplug, and start looking at a map
