A great read for those who enjoy relaxing at home as well as those who want to venture out but are still hesitating. The only downside is that, like every good book, unfortunately it ends.
Terrifying People with Guns offers an unflinching exploration of the untamed wilderness—a relentless odyssey spanning weeks of endurance, battling the raw elements, hunger, frigid temperatures, and isolation amidst wolves, bears, cougars, and locals heavily armed. Anyone considering abandoning modern life to pursue harmony with Nature should reconsider, and first absorb the hard-earned lessons found in these pages.
The author shares the tale of three expeditions in the American Idaho backcountry during 2013, 2018, and 2019. Living and traversing the secluded Rocky Mountains, he relied on traditional, rudimentary equipment, faced starvation, hunted for survival, confronted bears, and built camaraderie with armed residents. All efforts lead toward a life story ending on a positive note.

It's not only about venturing into the wilds of Idaho, but also a skillful depiction of the mentality of people encountered during the author's visit. A book that stays in the reader's mind for a long time. I recommend it!

Rufus is, for me, the best contemporary Polish writer, journalist, and certainly the most valuable. I recommend his books and the entire offer of the Publishing House.
