As an engineer and entrepreneur, he’s taken a lot of chances, but he really learned about risk mitigation over a lifetime of pushing the limits outdoors. He grew up on a farm in Minnesota, where he learned to appreciate nature and her ways, and spent much of his life fishing and hunting throughout North America. These are the stories he’s accumulated over decades, and the lessons they’ve taught him. Gary says, “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re takin’ up too much room.” Review "One of the Best New Hunting eBooks for 2019!- Book Authority  "Vivid hunting and fishing tales for weekend warriors."-Kirkus Reviews "A debut collection offers autobiographical stories about the thrill--and risks--of taking muddy back roads. In this lively volume featuring 40 stories, the author recounts his years going on hunting and fishing trips to places like Saskatchewan's remote Sturgeon Landing and Colorado's ruggedly beautiful Sawtooth Mountain. With a voice that sounds like a good-natured uncle telling campfire tales, Oberg's adventures are--for the most part--a celebration of the great outdoors. Humor plays a big role here, too. The prose is fun to read and sails along smoothly." "A great easy to read book full of fascinating adventures.''-Geno the Viking When you pick this book up you won't put it down until the end.
