Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780340980835.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorthern Wilderness is a stunning celebration of one of earths 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.\nHe 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.\nThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989779083317,"sku":"ByrdShop_0340980834","price":59.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780340980835_039abf74-eadf-4bf5-97e0-ac6e7db8611d.jpg?v=1778894811","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/northern-wilderness-bushcraft-of-the-far-north-9780340980835","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
