Common sense tips on how to survive extreme outdoor adventures that turn deadly, scattered among real-life stories. Extreme Outdoor Adventures Who Survives and Why, explores the psychological attitude of those caught in sudden and extreme situations and why some survive and some do not. "There are 20 gripping, true-to-life stories of heroic men and women who were forced to muster the psychological and physical strength necessary to cheat death while left helpless in the wilderness in the most extreme of situations." Dedicated to his children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, and those not yet born, Larry hoped to keep the spirit of exploring nature alive for many generations to come. Larry, born to be a writer, started writing a neighborhood newspaper at age 11, covering the Joe Louis and Max Schmelling boxing match among other current day news. In 1926 when Larry was born, hunting and fishing was still a valuable life skill. He fanned those skills and excitement into a lifelong writing career, saying often that it took “5% talent and 95% sweat equity” to write as he did, tight, easy-to-read and exciting. After securing a solid business for his family's finances, he began part-time writing with a weekly news column called Huntin' and Fishin' with Larry Mueller. As his popular style of easy-to-read yet exciting story lines grew, he ventured into free-lance magazine writing, writing for many magazines including "The Big Three" in that field: Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, and Sports Afield. As his national popularity grew, he was offered an Editorship and monthly Hunting Dogs column with Outdoor Life and was invited on the Johnny Carson show. His column ran for 24 years. His first book, The Calculating Fisherman, was written in 1974, and this, his last book, was written in 2008. He passed in 2018, and will forever be remembered as an ethical hunter, kind dog owner, and wonderful father.
