What does /out/ read?
I just finished Walden by Thoreau. Next on my list is pic related.
just finished 'touching my father's soul' by tenzing norgay which was pretty amazing, starting on 'a man and his mountains' by norman croucher which seems to be more based on actual climbing and a story than the previous. recommend them both though
I also read Linkola's "Can life prevail"
he is quite extreme , but was a very interesting read

I mainly read sci-fi due to a relative dearth in /out/-related literature.
I will say I greatly enjoyed Peter Capstick's writings. Most of which is about being a professional African hunter. He manages to convey respect for the pursuit and the environment while adding humor and light-heartedness to it.
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
The Passing of the Great Race by Madison Grant

Go away Ted.
Growth of the Soil was promising but turned into a bit tiresome after a while. Reminded me of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair in a way, it was a bit of a repetitive polemic.
Knut Hamsun's Pan was a really good book. I also like Hunger and Mysteries too, but Pan goes with the /out/ theme.
It took me some time to actually get into it, the narrative style being somewhat difficult at first and dense, but Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey is one of my favorite books. I've reread it many times.
The Men of the Last Frontier and Pilgrims of the Wild by Grey Owl are good reads and provide an interesting glimpse of life for the voyageurs and trappers back then in Canada.
Soul Catcher by Frank Herbert is another recommendation.

also have to add Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty. Read the book then watch the series. It's a great book, I got lost in it.
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey, read it while backpacking Arches National Park
I also read At Home in the Woods by Bradford and Vena Angier. Was shorter and lighter but still a good read

The Thousand-Mile Summer by Colin Fletcher. It's about a man hiking the east side of California from the Mexican border to Oregon during the 1950's. I read it years ago and I still think about it sometimes.

I like Walden except for the part where he goes on about not having a pattern with shit. Like the part where he realized he made a path to the river or whatever? Like dude who fuckin cares
Wild Sheep Chase by Murakami was the last thing I read while /out/. One of my new favorites and also pretty appropriate for a multi day hike
