Marcus Woolf has written for national outdoor magazines, such as "Backpacker" and "Outside," and for 20 years he served as an editor and journalist for outdoor business publications. In 2011, he cofounded The Adventure Post website, where he shares his passion for the outdoors and adventure travel. While doing the legwork for this book, he survived a nose-to-nose encounter with a bear at 2 a.m. and a charge from a particularly mean opossum. Woolf is based in the Southeast, where he enjoys hiking, kayaking, and an unhinged passion for Alabama football.
