Great book. There were parts that I felt were a bit of "fluff" but overall I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the interviews with various farmers, soil scientists, and even farmers from other countries. I further enjoyed the history lessons that were covered and some of the scientific data also reviewed. All in all, I think I would suggest reading this book first, before reading Gabe Brown's Dirt to Soil.

This is a powerful read, especially in the winter when the conditions are relatable. It's a harrowing tale of some tough MF'ers that suffered some unimaginable hardships in the name of adventure and the United States. I highly recommend it.

A really eye opening look at how and why we got where we are with the opioid epidemic, specifically in Appalachia. It’s set largely in Portsmouth and does a good job chronicling the socioeconomic factors that led to the its downfall and the rise of widespread opioid addiction. Tragic and fascinating

I distinctly remember reading an article in one of the news magazines back in the late 80s or early 90s how doctors needed to be more aggressive in treating pain. Not sure exactly why but the article stuck with me.
From what I know now those articles were written by shills for pharmaceutical companies. A way to get patients to pressure doctors for more meds.
Thankfully we've moved past that and now we can trust what we read about pharmaceuticals...

Every few years I will take these two down off the shelf and re-read them. Gave copies to my step son. He hasn't read them...but keeps saying he will.
Ive read this one from two different deer stands. Puts things in perspective.

There are two books. The Old Man and the Boy and The Old Man's Boy Grows Older. Which bear hunt are you talking about?
The first is a story about a boy growing up in rural NC and learning about the outdoors from his grandpa.
The second is about that boy growing older and reminiscing about the lessons the Old Man told him as they applied to his own life as he grew older.

thought it was old man & the boy remember there was one bear that always escaped none of their dogs could bay it and believe a slave says he killed it at the end
This is one of the best books a person could read. Top five for me for sure.
