Donald Bud Wible is a retired businessman who enjoys telling tales of his past experiences, and he has definitely lived a full life. Little Buddy Goes to Scout Camp is a collection of real life happenings from Buds days as a young lad growing up and coming of age in the best era in American history, the 1950s. The reader is given an introduction into the life of Buddy as he packs up and heads off to Boy Scout Camp for a couple of weeks in the summer of his thirteenth year. The author provides insight into the life and mind of a middle class white boy from Baltimore during that time period through periodic flashbacks. No punches are pulled: this tale depicts life as best as it was remembered. Little Buddy and his best friend, Nathan, pull numerous pranks, rig sporting events to their advantage, evade beatings by enemy scouts, and even land the opportunity to explore what little they know of sex with a couple of girls on Parents Day. Each day provides new opportunities for this devious duo as they make every attempt to buck the system. However, as much fun as Buddy and Nathan make for themselves, the boys get themselves into a situation they cant control when, while on a self-guided hike, they are kidnapped by an old hermit and his pet wolf. Overpowered, they must rely on their mental acuity and prior scout training to turn the odds of survival in their favor.

Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+ Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett’s hunt for a fugitive reveals a conspiracy in this taut thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Joe Pickett always liked Butch Roberson—a hard-working local business owner whose daughter is friends with Joe’s girls. Little does he know that when Butch says he’s heading into the mountains to scout elk, he is actually going on the run. Two EPA employees have been murdered and all signs point to Butch as the killer. Joe learns that the land Butch and his wife had bought to retire on was declared a protected wetland by the EPA, and the subsequent fines have torn the family apart. Finally, it seems, the man just cracked. It’s an awful story, but is it the whole story? The more Joe investigates, the more he begins to wonder—and he soon finds himself in the middle of a war in which he must choose sides.
