EternityTide Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 for those of you that would like to look into Canada's fur-trading,foot-freezing past, I would suggest Ray Mears Northen Wilderness... http://www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com/store/images/P/Ray-Mears-northern-wild.jpg ... it is a fanastic book explaining all the exploration that went on, from the french coureur de bois to the founding of the Hudson Bay Company, to the explorations of Samuel Hearne, and the discovery of the Northwest Passage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starfighter441 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I can highly recommend Jack London's "To Build a Fire". A great short story.Here's a link to a reading of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullam Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Reviving an ancient topic, but if you're interested in stories of winter survival, I highly recommend Shamen, by Kim Stanley Robinson. Takes place during the ice age, and is a fantastic look at how people survived, before the agricultural revolution. Well written and engaging story, to boot!

mattyboi Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I love everything Ray Mears does. I also love everything Jack London does, for different reasons. To Build a Fire was one of the first stories my dad read to me and my brothers when we were growing up. I don't think anybody can go wrong with either of these recommendations.
