  The Outdoor Book for Adventurous Chaps will remind older readers of their fondest childhood memories: days of building go-karts and tree-houses, mucking around on rope swings or in rock pools. It will re-awaken these half-forgotten activities and give younger readers an exciting incentive to get off their backsides and turn off the television and/or games console for a few hours of good old-fashioned entertainment, that will easily drift on into a whole day. With sections covering fieldcraft skills and activities for different types of environment - from countryside to beach - along with a range of cunning inventions every schoolboy should know, the book goes well beyond the typical scouting handbook or outdoor survival guide, introducing an extra element of magic and irreverence, as it explores the fun side of the outdoors as well as the practical.
