Sometime around his forties, Are Kalvø starts losing his friends ... to the mountains. Friends who used to meet him at the pub are now hiking and skiing every weekend, and when they do show up, all they talk about is feeling at one with nature (without a hint of irony). When Are realizes he's the only person who hasn't posted a selfie on a mountain, he starts to wonder: does he have it all wrong? To find out, Are buys some ridiculously expensive gear and heads into the woods.The result of his sardonic trek is at once a smart and funny take-down of outdoors culture, and a reluctant surrender to nature's undeniable pull. An adventure, a comedy, and a tragedy, The Hiking Book from Hell is destined to become a nature writing (and nature hating) classic."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.50207 Ka item being mended Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.50207 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.50207 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.50207 Ka Damaged Add Copy to MyList
