"So intense was our training that within the first six months we were tracking mice across gravel...and before the end of the first year we tracking ants across stone, yes stone, solid rock!...you may think that you're sitting around a campfire listening to "big windys" from mountain men of old, but no this is just one of many outrageous statements in this book. People who believe this book is non-fiction, science, or art, well ...they probably believe in the tooth fairy too or better yet, in an Apache elder "coyote teacher" in the wilds of New Jersey. This book is a hoax! Don't waste your money on this one, unless you want to prove P.T.Barnum right, again. No stars from me(unfortunately one is the min requirement).
