A good point.

I'd think about why you really want to include "how to" content and let that drive the format. If it's to sell books then by all means spot burn away and be very specific

From the little of the work in progress I have read (a few pages at most on BI a few years ago) it appears as though you were doing a great job of sharing the spirit and experience of your stories.

Perhaps sharing what you learned and why it was important...in context of those specific experiences...would make for more meaningful "how to" content without changing the objective of the book.

My favorite outdoor books are those that teach indirectly, just like an old hand will instruct the student by making them learn to think for themselves.

It's also quite possible that you're doing this already.

I can't wait to read more.
