Thor Heyerdahl.
Like many of you (I suspect) his seminal work Kon-Tiki fascinated me as a teen. I've just begun re-reading some of his other works and have become fascinated once again, and fascinated even more strongly if that's possible.
I've begun, this time, with Fatu Hiva (Back to Nature), one of his earliest works when he first became interested in anthropology.
This guy walks the walk as well as talking the talk. He has truly been there and done that, in spades! Plus his prose flows well and is quite interesting as well as informative. He's written a number of monographs and articles as well as a half-dozen or so books.
No rifles but there's a picture of Paul Gaugin's self-carved Winchester SRC buttstock (grin).
Regards, Joe
