Let's Get Primitive
CAMPING CONTEST
Congratulations to Meg Weidner! Author Heather Menicucci has chosen Meg’s story “Debutante’s First Bout with Poison Ivy” as the winner of the Coleman tent, the sturdy polycarbonate cocktail set, and a copy of Let’s Get Primitive: The Urban Girl’s Guide to Camping. Runners-up were Jonathan Fox’s story of his lost friend Rosanna and Patrick Sauer’s Central Park adventure. Thanks to everyone who entered!
“Working in a cubicle is as open-air as most of us city folk get, and that's no way to live. Thankfully, Heather Menicucci has offered an open-ended ticket to sunrises, sunsets, and warm, whiskey-doused sing-alongs in the great outdoors. Let’s Get Primitive is an enlightening guide that will inspire you to tear down the (half) walls, delve back into nature, and dream under stars that you can actually see.”
—Jeffrey Yamaguchi, author of 52 Projects: Random Acts of Everyday Creativity
“Heather’s book is the perfect D.I.Y. primer for any gal seeking to step away from the fray, nurture her independent spirit, and see what kind of fire and spice lurks underneath her sugar and nice.”
—Gayla Trail, author of You Grow Girl
"Let's Get Primitive describes [Menicucci's] transformation from a lipstick-wearing, bug-fearing diva to an expert on backcountry camping. The book includes entertaining anecdotes and lots of advice, including suggestions for gear that will make your camp-outs more pleasant."
