Big Blue Society is the hysterical and emotionally-charged true story of what happens when a diverse but devoted group of men decide to overcome their differences and life challenges and live life by one motto - "Go for It... and Deny Everything." When disabled Vietnam veteran and war hero Norm Hansen returned home in a body cast and suffering from PTSD, he felt helpless, hopeless and lost. He asked his best friend to take him to catch a fish. The one place where fishing success was ensured was posted and patrolled. They got arrested and threatened with jail time if caught trespassing again, so they had to take their angling pursuits on the road. From the soothing silence of the Adirondacks to the roaring heart of Yellowstone, from Great Camps in New England to remote lakes in Canada, these men chase their dreams with a tackle box, a tent, and a penchant for adventure. Over 40 years of fishing and camping trips, hijinks in the wilderness, campfire stories, raucous initiations... and occasionally catching fish. Equal parts emotional healing, misadventure and enduring camaraderie, Big Blue Society is about a once-in-a-lifetime brotherhood that formed around Norm, and how it healed them all. Outdoor adventure enthusiasts and fans of camping and fishing humor books will appreciate the quiet, reflective, thoughtful moments in the book, as beloved members pass and the remaining members soldier on... for the Big Blue Society lives on so long as one of them draws a breath.
