"Two-Man Stick is a well-written page-turner on a fascinating subject. Bud Filler has made the business of smokejumping come alive with real people, colorful and sensitive descriptions and a trained woodsman's knowledge of the complex operation of a forest ecosystem. What comes through most clearly is Bud's enormous and unmistakable love for our national heritage of public lands and for those who risk their lives to protect them."
Clay Morgan, former smokejumper and author of Santiago and the Drinking Party
"Bud Filler is a fine writer, and he tells the smokejumper story as it was and still is: the most adventurous job in America. This is a superb book."
