He does have a rifle with him. It's a Ruger 10-22. Look at the first video on week three in the link Sargey posted.

I'm afraid I read mostly fiction as a kid. A lot of historical fiction. With the exception of The Boy Scout Handbook and my Dad's copy of The NRA Guide To Firearms Disassembly.:rolleyes: Off the top of my head. Lost In The Barrens - Farley Mowatt Curse Of The Viking Grave - Farley...

I'm not talking about pac boots in the style of the Sorel glacier, BTW. We tend to call any winter boot with the removable liner a pac boot here.

These aren't the snowmobile type of pac boot. I don't like those either. These are a lace up hiker style boot with the removable liner. I've walked and snowshoed many miles in them.

I'd recommend you buy yourself a pair of decent pac boots. The Sorel Caribou are sufficient for -30C if you can get them. I prefer Baffin boots myself. For a winter hiking pac boot I use Baffin Mountain Pacs. They're nice and light. Not bulky at all and I prefer a lace up boot...

Hemp seed oil lip balm works the best for me. And no you can't smoke it. :p

Bearspaw or babiche. I love snowshoeing.

I'm glad he liked the knife, werner and took it in the spirit intended. I'll be checking their site regularly.

Cool! Thanks for the post, werner. Keep us updated if you can. This has been met with a lot of skepticism so it's nice to hear from someone who actually knows one of the participants. I wish them luck and really look forward to the video! I assume they're going in with hunting and fishing...

This is the knife they're taking. There's gotta be a video camera on it somewhere. :D
