From laugh-out-loud funny to deeply poignant, A Life Lived Outdoors 
presents a collection of hand-picked essays by George Smith, one of Maine’s favorite outdoor writers, 
exploring the way life should be, could be, and sometimes is in the great state of Maine. He set aside 
the political columns for those about home and camp, family and friends, life in rural Maine, hunting and 
fishing, and other outdoor fun. There’s something for everyone in this collection that celebrates 
approaching life with humility and humor, as well as a passion for 
adventure.
