I'd love to go on one of Cody's courses. His books are great and he clearly has a lot of wisdom to share. I appreciate his cautious approach and his improvising, make the most of what you've got available in the smartest way possible attitude. Especially as a Scout Leader and mom, I do have a hard time with "Do as I say, not as I do" though. His message can get quickly lost when he delivers it in a Nova Scotia sea-side winter wearing shorts and wool socks.
