    Chandler's book covers many topics including running marathons, trail running, hiking and cross country skiing with kids, bird hunting, and even how his military service is intertwined with the land. "I'm lucky to live in a place where other people come to vacation," said Eric Chandler, author of Outside Duluth. "There are essays in the book. There are stories that are more like guidebook chapters. I hope readers will enjoy reading about my family's little adventures here in northern Minnesota."

    What Others are Saying about Outside Duluth

    "If you want to know what it means to live a fully engaged outdoor life in the North, Eric Chandler will show you. Hang on, because you'll be panting through marathons, pumping up hills on your mountain bike, gliding along cross-country ski trails and riding Lake Superior on a stand-up paddleboard. A family man, an F-16 pilot and an aerobic adventurer, Chandler knows how to play - and write."

    Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune outdoors writer

    "Eric Chandler has a way of making the outdoor experiences he writes about accessible to everyone. He never comes across as an expert, is willing to poke fun at himself and, most importantly, brings his family along on his adventures. He is the epitome of the modern outdoor writer."

    Shawn Perich, Publisher, Northern Wilds Magazine
