  • Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with tags attached
  • Sale items are final sale — no exceptions
  • Gift cards and select grooming/personal care items are non-returnable

We'd rather get you the right thing than give you your money back. If you need a different size or color, start an exchange and we'll get the right one out to you.

The Outdoor Manual Worth Keeping on the Shelf -- Until You Actually Need It

Brendan Leonard is the guy behind Semi-Rad, one of the most widely read outdoor adventure blogs on the internet. He's also the author of a book with a rubber cover -- because if you're actually using it outside, it needs to survive the outdoors too.

Surviving the Great Outdoors is a dense, illustrated field guide covering the skills you actually need in the backcountry: navigation, shelter, fire, water, first aid, wildlife, and more. It's written the way Leonard writes everything -- direct, funny, and zero fluff. No filler chapters. No gear sponsorship padding. Just the stuff that matters, laid out clearly enough that you can actually use it when you need it.

Good for beginners who want to get outside with confidence. Good for experienced outdoorspeople who want a solid reference. Great gift for anyone who spends time in the woods, on the water, or in the mountains. Browse more in our books collection or check out our full home goods selection.
