Review
Tom Brown, Jr. Director, The Tracker School, author of The Tracker, The Search, and The Field Guide to Wilderness Survival I sincerely believe that if more people would come into the circle of Sun Bear's vision it would be the saving of the world. I give him, his vision, and his books my fullest support.
