I don't know how many of you read Bill Heavey's hunting/fishing column in Field & Stream, but it's usually the first thing I read when I get the magazine--not for its "How-To Know How," but rather for the comedic moments and the poignant looks at life that Heavey usually offers up.

Somehow, Heavey has managed to persuade a book company to pay him to live off the land for a year and write about the endeavor.

Here's Dave Petzal giving Bill Heavey some ribbing about it: http://fieldandstream.blogs.com/gunnut/2008/05/another-shabby.html

And here's the weblog for Heavey's project: http://www.fieldandstream.blogs.com/sportsmanslife/


Should be interesting to follow, especially if Heavey approaches it with his usual flair for hyperbole and irony. Seems he's off to a good start.
 
Sweet! I'm very interested in long term stuff. I've often wanted to see Les to a survivorman season in one shot.
 
Looks like some good stuff, and pretty funny as well. Thanks for letting us know!
