| Description:* If you’ve ever considered the absurdity of sleeping on the ground in a place where bears live, pooping in a bag on a glacier, or trying to teach someone you love a sport that scares them to the point of loudly threatening to kill you in front of strangers, Bears Don’t Care About Your Problems will make you laugh. Author and creator of Semi-Rad, Brendan Leonard is part Dave Barry, part Gary Larson, and 100% twisted in his own fresh way. The Semi-Rad perspective has become the funny, introspective voice of outdoor Everyman and Everywoman adventurers.*From goodreads.com’s synopsis. | |||
| Thoughts: A friend we met on our fall 2025 New England & Canada BearCruise bought this book for my husband and me as a thank you for tagging along with us when we drove to the Anne Murray Centre, a 2-hour, one-way drive from our Halifax, Nova Scotia port call. It was a fun read even though I am the furthest from what you’d call “an outdoorsy person” as you can get. I particularly enjoyed the “Lose weight now with the 10,000-foot diet” chapter. | |||
