Hello Tom!Just finished reading Participating In Nature and I loved It. I am a Tom Brown student, as well as a fan of Mors Kochanski and any other primitive skills authors I can find. Your book is very refreshing in that it reads as such a nice adventure story that teaches all along. There are also many ideas and skills that I have never encountered in other books and that is wonderful. I really enjoy the realistic approach to the philosophy of living well within today's society. Thanks!
