“There’s no therapist like Mother Nature”
Dave Shaw’s Further Off the Beaten Track is an exhilarating follow-up to his previous work, Off the Beaten Track.
This book takes readers on a thrilling journey through New Zealand’s rugged landscapes and underwater realms, blending the excitement of hunting and spearfishing with Shaw’s personal reflections and adventures.
Shaw’s passion for the outdoors and his respect for nature shine through, making the book not just entertaining but also inspiring.
Shaw’s storytelling is compelling, drawing readers into each adventure with detailed and immersive descriptions and the stunning location photography makes you feel like you are there alongside the team. For hunters there is an exposure to the sea and vice versa for fishers an exposure to the land – not a bad thing .
A couple of pages on excesses at sea are unnecessary as they detract from the otherwise great impressions the reader will be left with.
This is a must-read for both fans of the shows and any hunters and divers who are keen to venture off the beaten track.
