+GoNorthWest Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi, I'm a geocacher who used to be (and still sorta is) a rock climber who also used to be a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician. Back in 1995 I wrote a first aid book geared towards rocks climbers, but in all honesty, more for everybody who plays outdoors. The book is well illustrated, got good reviews from my friends and family ( ), and, most importantly, is printer on waterproof, tear resistant paper! This book would be a great companion on any geocaching trip. A few years ago when my publisher went out of business, I bought up the remaining inventory of books. I was able to give away quite a few of them to organizations like search and rescue and some Boy Scout troops. As I was going through my garage the other day, I came across another box of about 40 books. I want to give those away as well. If you are interested in getting a free copy of this book for yourself or your organization, head over to http://www.outdoor-resources.com/cfa.html and check out the details. The only "string" attached to this giveaway is that I'd like a donation of about $3.00 to cover shipping. The book has a cover price of $29.95, so this seems more than fair to me. If you really, really want a copy of the book, but cannot afford it, contact me and we can work something out. If you want to donate more to help cover other people, that's cool as well...some people have already done that. If you have any questions, post them here, or contact me on Twitter (GoNorthWest). I'm hoping to give away all the books I have left, so please take a look at the web site : http://www.outdoor-resources.com/cfa.html Thanks! GoNorthWest (Mark) Quote Link to comment

+mva1985 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well I just saw this thread and would have loved to have a copy. I see many ordered multiple copies. If anyone has one to many I would certainly appreciate it. Let me know. I will of course cover shipping!!! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+tooiake Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Still waiting. Have the books been sent? Well it looks like the people in MO and NC got it. I'm still waiting here too. Maybe it will be a few more days. This is some seriously slow snail mail. Quote Link to comment
+Mydnyghte Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm sure he's got his hands full getting all these sent. I paid on the 11th and got my books last week. Very cool book, and I love the autograph in each one, that my friend, is class. Quote Link to comment
+tooiake Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yes! Got my book today. It looks like the post office bashed it up a little bit, but in spite of this the book seems durable. It's also small and lightweight. I flipped through it a little bit and it looks like it has some very good info. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
+The Coachjones Clan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Still waiting. Have the books been sent? They arrived today! Thanks so much! The book is excellent and is going right into my pack. Quote Link to comment
