Can anyone help me with a book title?

About 6 months ago, there was an author interviewed on Jeremy Vine's programme who had written a book for older children about outdoorsy/practical stuff. I have a dim recollection of the author talking about skills that are being lost. The author was male (there might have been two of them...)

Did anyone with a better memory than me hear the programme?

TIA

I was going to say Go Wild but that's written by 2 women.

Conn iggulden's dangerous book for boys? Older than six months but teaches you loads of cool stuff that kids used to know before gameboys came along says the gameboy owner

I don't think it was either of those, but you're both on the right track, thanks Smile.

I've just emailed the show to see if they remember.

Was it Corbett Barr? He writes about how we are losing the practical abilities we used to have/practise.

Thank you! I've just googled both of them. I will definitely look into their work more... However, they have not written books aimed specifically at children as far as I can tell.

The search continues!
