Detailed Product Description
SF, 1980, 1st edition. 96 pages, 40+ cartoon illustrations. Paperback size is 6½''x 5''. (Paperback was the only edition), Fine. I wish he had done this like he did his fly fishing book, which is 8½''x 11'', to make the cartoons easier to read and enjoy.The book is actually a fairly serious text about how to live in the woods, or desert, mountains, or anywhere else outdoors you get stranded. He certainly knew what he was talking about.

Sheridan Anderson, along with Tami Knight, are the Norman Rockwells and R. Crumbs of climbing, backpacking and fly fishing! 

In the 1950s he dropped out of college and became involved in the rock climbing community, writing and drawing for various climbing publications and co-authoring books on the subject with Royal Robbins. In the 1980s Anderson lived in San Francisco and made ends meet as a sign painter. He mixed his sign-making with his incredible wit and humor.

Anderson's most enduring reputation is for The Curtis Creek Manifesto, a 48-page illustrated guide to fly fishing named for a creek of the Blacksmith Fork River in Utah. Originally published in 1976 by Salmon Trout Steelheader, and later by Amato Publications. 

Yvon Chouinard, a fellow outdoorsman who founded the Patagonia outdoor clothing company, called it "probably the best beginner's treatise on how to fly-fish."At 47 years old, Sheridan died of an acute attack of emphysema on March 31, 1984 in Las Vegas. A long obituary can be found here:
