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...

Depending, of course, on your location. I'm in Alberta, so I would recommend Albertans pick up a copy of Northern Bushcraft (I believe it's been re-titled Bushcraft) by Mors Kochanski, and also his handbook 21 Native Wild Edible Plants. Both are available from Karamat Wilderness Ways (I have...

WOW!! Just, well, WOW!!

Great photos everyone! I took this picture while walking back to camp last year on my moose hunting trip.

Collapsable aluminum poles for snowshoeing is at the top of my list.

Rancid Badger, that is absolutely magnificent work! My favourite wood for spoons is western red cedar. It's easy to work with and smells great. Kind of like dill-pickle potato chips.

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

I couldn't find where this has been posted before. Anyway, It should be really interesting! They leave on October 8th. http://www.barewilderness.com/home.html

Great story!!!!!! Thanks! :cool:

OK, it's not really exciting, but it could have ended up a lot worse, so here goes. This happened when I lived up in northern Alberta, just below the Northwest Territories border, about twenty years ago. I decided to go ptarmigan hunting one Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before...

Shewie, running is the absolute worse thing you could do. It triggers a bear's predatory instincts. I know that standing your ground seems like it would be an extremely difficult thing to do when every instinct is to flee, but it is the right thing. It is absolutely impossible for a human being...

This happened a week ago a couple of hours north of me. This is one lucky guy! http://calsun.canoe.ca/News/Alberta/2007/08/25/pf-4445246.html
