Beskrivning
Northern Wilderness is a stunning celebration of one of earth's great wildernesses. Ray Mears journeys on foot, by canoe and by snowshoe through mountains, forests, tundra and ice in a land where roads are still scarce.He explores the vast Boreal Forest and its rich animal life, and travels across the Hudson Bay by canoe, telling the story of the fur trappers who traded with the hat manufacturers of England. Ray follows the paths of the great early northern explorers, Samuel Hearne and David Thompson, who survived through their knowledge of what we now call bushcraft, as they trekked across the tundra and the Rocky Mountains. He explores the frozen north and learns the ways of the Inuit, who teach him how to combat snow blindness and build shelter.This book is rich in bushcraft, as Ray explains the unique survival techniques of the Native Canadians and the Inuit, as well as how the prospectors in the gold rush used bushcraft skills to survive in this inhospitable but awesome landscape.

    Boken är en bra introduktion i Mears värld av s k Bushcraft.
    Han tar intryck och lärdom av den inhemska befolkningens unika relation till naturen.
    Och speciella förmåga att följa naturens villkor!
    Men var finns kartorna ?
    Här berättas det om Canadas fantastiska och storslagna natur: skogarna , floderna , fåglarna, djurlivet - flora och fauna i all ära.
    Men inga kartor!! Bottennapp!
    Tur att han kan skriva på ett intressant sätt ! Men var finns han i Canada?
    Jo, jag kan rekommendera boken men inte med ett klart - JA!
    Skaffa en riktigt bra kartbok om du vill vandra med honom.
