@tpm1602 His website is GOTROB(dot)com. Pick up "Into The Great Solitude" and "Talking To Angels", which is kind of a sequel to this. You can get the compendium books to both shows there as well.

I watched these films by Robert Perkins in my youth and they have always been the model of the adventure travels I have always wanted to lead.
