Or perhaps I would have cracked after chowing down on fried beetle larvae (crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside) in the remote Indonesian jungle. And don't forget the close call with that apartment-sized slab of ice at Glacier Bay. Crazy stuff. But Tim Cahill survives, thrives and carries on travelling, that is. His sixth book, Pass the Butterworms, is good to read and good for you. A reader might actually learn something about history, politics or ecology. There are fascinating stories such as the one about an Indonesian tribe that has a history of cannibalism and head-shrinking, and more intense ones which describe the consequences of "progress" in that same region ("The homogenization of humanity seems to be the direction of history") or the brutal, unsolved murder of two young Americans in Peru by members of an isolated tribe.

Extractions: Thursday, November 14, 2002, at 3:18 PM PT Today's audio update: Tim Cahill sings the blues about tough times in New Orleans. Louis Armstrong NEW ORLEANSâWe're on a mission from God. Or from Slate magazine. We're a little unclear about this. In any case, our mission, which we have chosen to accept, requires us to trace the history of the "deep" blues, from its birthplace in the Mississippi Delta to its ultimate migration to Memphis, Chicago, and eventually the far corners of the world as we know it. Our quest has brought us first to New Orleans, the southern terminus of Route 61, the so-called Blues Highway. We'll be moving north, into the Delta. Along the way, we'll be forced to drive luxury rental cars, eat the best local food, and stay in many fine hotels. This life is hell, but someone's got to do it, and in this case, it's Christian Kallen and myself, two guys old enough to recall the blues revival in the clubs of Chicago in the mid-'60s, and the San Francisco dancehalls of the '70s. We were working very hard, of course, but New Orleans was working effortlessly to hold up its image as America's party central. At Brennan's Restaurant, we dined on blackened redfish and a butternut squash bisque served at the table by a tuxedoed waiter. On the way to our French Quarter hotel, the venerable Monteleone, friendly young women in abbreviated costumes leaned out of doorways and invited us inside, where, they gave us to understand, pleasure that surpassed understanding awaited us. We explained that it was necessary to get some sleep. We were on a mission from God.

Extractions: Friday, November 22, 2002, at 2:14 PM PT Today's audio update: Tim Cahill returns to his blues roots. Muddy Waters It was Muddy Waters who took the Delta blues north to Chicago, electrified the sound, and changed the course of popular music as we know it. That's pretty much the judgment of history, and it is mine as well. I remember hearing Muddy Waters play, but in the mid-'60s, during a blues revival. I was a college student and unaware of the fact that the blues were being revived or that they needed to be. The music and the lyrics moved me. Still do. Muddy Waters grew up on the Stovall Plantation, not far out of Clarksdale, Miss. The house where he lived is gone now, rebuilt in the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale. The idea was to preserve the structure, a humble rough-cut cedar building of the type that housed sharecroppers. There was only a depression in the grass where Muddy's childhood home had been. A plaque nearby identified the site and included a quote from Eric Clapton: "[Muddy Waters'] music changed my life, and whether you know it or not, and like it or not, it probably changed yours, too." These words ring true. I could see it all over the blues highway, which had taken us from New Orleans north to the Mississippi Delta, where the music we call the blues was born. The blues wandered off down south, where it influenced the sound of the jazz that was springing up in different forms in New Orleans. But most of the blues traveled with itinerant blues men, and it moved north. Memphis, the capital of the mid-South, only a few hundred miles north of the Delta, was a natural destination for a musically talented and ambitious man.

Today Tim's come to talk about an adventure that's even more outrageous...swimming with great white sharks in South Africa that probably weigh as much as your car! After I read his article in the August issue of Outside Magazine , I just had to know, Tim, what in the world were you thinking?

Tim Cahill, Jaguars Ripped My Flesh
tim cahill, Jaguars Ripped My Flesh (Bantam, 1987). Brazen stupidity willget you anywhere in life. That, and complete and utter irreverance.
http://www.rambles.net/cahill_jaguars.html

Extractions: Brazen stupidity will get you anywhere in life. That, and complete and utter irreverance. The adventure travel book Jaguars Ripped My Flesh offers rather stunning proof of this. One of Outside magazine's founding editors and a longtime contributor to Rolling Stone, Tim Cahill regales us with tales of fearsome and certainly humourous adventure written from his very unique, quirky perspective. Diving with sharks, caving in Kentucky, skydiving in California, filming poison sea snakes in the Philipines and exploring ancient ruins in Peru. The author has done it all and kept us laughing through his experiences. "Personally, I've found that it doesn't pay to take these accomplishments too seriously. I spend a lot of time laughing at myself." Cahill sums it up nicely, just like a walk in the park. Next minute, he's flying with the Air Force Weather Reconnaissance Squadron into the eye of a hurricane. Admittedly, what else can you do but laugh in the face of danger when you're already too scared to throw up? Comprised of thirty stories under separate and appropriate divisions

Extractions: And now Tim Cahill has a crown of his own the National Federation Interscholastic Coaches Association's Section 2 Distinguished Service Award for Boys Swimming and Diving. The Section includes the states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia and the District of Columbia. "This honor is just a reflection of how good the kids have been as far as learning and growing and accepting the challenges put in front of them," Cahill said. "My goal is for them to be the best they can be. Everybody has a different level of talent and potential, and it's my job to develop that in and out of the water and support their classroom activities, because they're students first and athletes second."

Extractions: By Tim Cahill I suppose any list of my favorite books would change significantly from year to year. As I read this one over, it seems pretty selfish. It's all about literary problems I encounter every day. It's about me, me, me. Editor's note: The hot-link titles will take you to Amazon.com, an online bookstore, but there are often other editions, including hardcovers, and audio tapes, that you can order. So browse before you buy. Desert Solitaire By Edward Abbey For me, me, me, this was a seminal book. Abbey wrote about the conservation and values of wilderness in a way that seemed to fill a void in my soul. I studied the essays in Desert Solitaire an account a summer spent as a Park Ranger in the deserts of Utahand realized that what I'd written up to that point was a glorified personal journal. Abbey's work operated in some higher dimension. His account of retrieving a body from the sands"The Dead Man at Grandview Point"is nothing less that a meditation on death, transfiguration, and the Eternal. All that and laugh out loud funny in the bargain. Heart of Darkness By Joseph Conrad This dark novella seems to have come boiling up out of some twisted jungle in Conrad's subconscious. The writing is dense and lush; lovely and terrifying. It is perfectly suited to the physical and moral landscape. A modern editor would likely cross out every other adjective, and encourage Conrad to use a stripped down, leaner, more muscular style. That editor would be a moron.

Extractions: Tim Cahill Question: Tim, In Douglas Adams's classic Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, he states that the most important object a traveler must possess is a towel. Currently trapped here on Earth (due to the fact that space travel is only in its dawning age, our misfortune in being born so soon), most of us must focus our travels here on Earth, as you have done, Tim. My nomination for the one most important thing a traveler here on Earth should have is a GPS receiver (let's assume our hand-held receiver also has a compass function, as most of them do, thus giving us that handy tool also). Whether at sea, on a continental glacier like Antarctica or Greenland, or deep in Africa, the GPS receiver will give us a coordinate and a direction to get us to the nearest destination. Even if you have lost your map, if you have any common sense you can remember what DIRECTION you came into the woods from (or sea, or ice, or desert, etc.) and with the GPS you can get a sense of whether to return from whence you came or push on to the safety that now lies further ahead. I cannot think of a handier thing. My question is, can you? What is the one most handy thing any traveler should have here on Earth, no matter where you are traveling? That's my question to you, Tim, oh Master Exotic Traveler.

Extractions: Twenty five years ago, Tim Cahill took American adventure writing back to its roots in the outdoor tales of Cooper, Twain and Hemingway. Ever since, his first-person adventure columns in Outside magazine have single-handedly pioneered a new literary form where the pursuit of heroic quests in remote locales frequently trips over hidden obstacles or bumps into the modest limits of the writer's skills in the hairy-chested outdoor arts. Now, with the publication of Hold the Enlightenment, More Travel Less Bliss , Cahill again boldly gallumphs forth in the footsteps of his previous Pecked to Death by Ducks, A Wolverine is Eating My Leg, and Pass the Butterworms . Whether he's running from bandits in the Sahara, chasing narcoterrorists in Colombian or simply going for a swim with great white sharks, Cahill risks life and limb to take his readers beyond where even the most intrepid of them would go themselves. He also gets peed on by chimps, suffers paralyzing bouts of panic and falls off a cliff. Adventure and misadventure, Cahill suggests, can look an awful lot alike when you're in the midst of either one. Cahill notes that there are more unfriendly people with guns here than in his earlier books, but he also spends plenty of time contemplating places where peril doesn't lurk.

http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0902/cahill/interview.html

Extractions: old Type: You've been writing about adventure travel for 25 years. Partly because of your success there's now a huge adventure travel industry that has put a lot of people out in the kinds of places you used to have all to yourself. Are you encouraged by this or does it seem like you've got this annoying horde of wankers following you around? Tim Cahill: I have no problem with the adventure travel movement. It makes better, more sensitive people. If you get people diving on a coral reef they're going to become more respectful of the outdoors and more concerned with the threats that places like that face and they're going to care more about protecting them than they would have before. But it does make it harder for me. They go to all the best places. BT: But where does that leave you as far as potential trips you can write about then? Isn't it becoming harder to find unfamiliar places? Might the "been there, done that" problem crop up for you from time to time? TC: Yeah, I see guidebooks that say things like, "There's this famous article by Tim Cahill in Jaguars Ripped my Flesh, and this is how you do it." BT: What about the piece in your new book about your trip to Colombia with Robert Pelton, the guy who does those "World's Most Dangerous Places" things on TV? You guys deliberately tracked down the FARC guerillas, people who have a stated policy of using kidnapping as part of their war against the government. Is putting yourself in harm's way like Pelton does the inevitable dystopian future of adventure travel?
