Bears Don't Care About Your Problems: More Funny Shit in the Woods from Semi-Rad.com

by Brendan Leonard, Steve Casimiro (Foreword by)

Overview

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 percent twisted in his own fresh way. The Semi-Rad perspective has become the funny, introspective voice of outdoor Everyman and Everywoman adventurers.

Inspiring everyday folks who dream big, but maybe can’t always go big is kind of Leonard’s thing.... [Bears Don't Care About Your Problems] serves as a sort of gut-busting greatest hits from the annals of Semi-Rad, complete with fresh illustrations and a foreword written by AJ’s own Steve Casimiro.

Adventure Journal - Shawnte Salabert

[Bears Don't Care About Your Problems] is indeed focused on the outdoor lifestyle, but I think even if you’re more indoorsy, there’s something universal here.
