About this listen

Marty Ohlhaut loved the great outdoors, and he loved his family, but this time, the combination proved disastrous.

Cooped up inside due to long work hours, Marty was excited about taking off with his wife and five children for the beautiful Canadian Rockies. Aware that this could be their last camping trip together, he wanted to make it extra memorable.

Little did he know how memorable it would be. From a massive heat wave and tainted water to encounters with aggressive red ants and formidable bears, they experienced one problem after another. Then tragedy struck, forcing Marty to face the terrifying possibility of losing a loved one. With the help of mysterious strangers in one of the world's most awe-inspiring locations, he fought to keep his family alive and his sanity intact.

Now, three decades later, he joins forces with his daughter Grace Ly to recount the gripping tale of that ill-fated vacation. Written with candor and wit reminiscent of Bill Bryson, Tent for Seven vividly captures both the grandeur and the dangers of the wilderness as Marty learns just how much his wife and children mean to him—and how fragile life can be.

A camping adventure gone awry!!

Camping can be one of the best experiences with your kids or one of the worst! This book shows a bit of both!!

Funny, very entertaining, heartfelt read

After reading great reviews for this book on Amazon, I decided to read this one. I'm not really a camper, but readers seemed to love this one, that I figured I might as well try it out. Really glad I did! I was laughing hysterically from chapter 1. There were some serious things that happened to this family on their 2 week trip to Canada - you'll probably cry a bit. As others have said, I also loved the epilogue!! Overall I was so entertained, especially loved all the bear stories. I couldn't put it down and had to know what happened next. Tent for Seven is one of my favorite books. I highly recommend this read, and so glad I tried something new! I hope these two authors write more books!

Silly, nonsensical

Was not funny or interesting . Super cringe and patronizing to the reader. Not sure how it’s rated so high
