NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The classic chronicle of a "terribly misguided and terribly funny" (The Washington Post) hike of the Appalachian Trail, from the author ofA Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body

"The best way of escaping into nature."--The New York Times

Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes--and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings.

For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is a modern classic of travel literature.

Best and most durable toy for our German shepherd
Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Tug, Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Tug
We have a German shepherd. This is our 2nd purchase. The first one was her first and favorite toy. We still have the first one. But the strap broke (after a year) bc we didn't realize she hid it under blanket, and she chewed it in half. But after a year of hard play, the strap was worn out. She still plays with her ball, and often carries it with her on her walks. It throws well and I love not having to pick up a slobbery ball. The ball is soft, durable, safe, and easy to play with.

Cord is not durable. Not for unsupervised play.
Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Duo Tug
My dog loves this toy and chewed through the tether in about 15 minutes, making it pretty useless as a tug toy. So the cord is not durable as stated. This is not for dogs who love to chew. Also, it is a bit smaller, much more squishy and chewable than a tennis ball, and I was worried she would chew it apart and that it might get stuck in her throat without the tether, so I took it away, much to her disappointment.

Puppy's favourite, but not built to last.
My puppy absolutely adores this tug-of-war ball! However, I have to mention the durability—it started fraying after just a few days of use. While it’s still usable, the material doesn’t hold up well to enthusiastic chewing and tugging. If your pup is a strong chewer, this might not last long. That said, for the price and the joy it brings my puppy, I’d still consider buying it again—just with the expectation that it’s more of a short-term toy. Great for light play, but not built for heavy-duty tug sessions.
