One is about the military asking him to demonstrate the same thing to an observer, but the observer gets hit by lightning or some shit and the guy does actually have to do it again.

Nah. You can always suck a dick for a cheeseburger in the city. The moose don't like when you try.

I read this in 5ht or 6th grade at the time. I think it was recommend to me by the librarian at my school if recall, but I can't exactly. I was only the one in my class who read it and I couldn't put it down. When I graduated to the next class it was part of the class reading project which worked out because I already read it. Good book.

Northern Canada is basically hell. Let me list off the problems.
>short summer season
>depending on the month unending swarms of sanity crushing bugs
>limited edible plants
>limited game animals
>unpredictable weather conditions (especially in high country)
>hard to navigate terrain
wide water bodies and impassable swamp land

Northern Canada sucks in a survival situation. Unless your kitted to be there, your in trouble.

This man speaks truth. The interior of Canada is basically uninhabitable without modern industrial society or at least tools and supplies from it.
The chugs existed on the coasts, the plains up against the modern US border, and in the arctic, the northern forests were utterly uninhabited before the railroads came.

You can do it with gear from the turn of the century, so long as you have access to fire, warm clothing and basic tools like an axe you can make it through much of the year. WINTER is your serious issue, the natives knew this well, reading about what they told early settlers is harrowing. If you dont have your shit in order for winter, prepare to die.

Seems hard to believe that people would rather live in the tundra than the forest
I'm pretty sure some tribes went in for the summer then came back to the plains for winter

I got that ADHD shit and grew up in a different timeline. There are a bunch of references that >author refers to, types of birds and outdoor living and shit taught in school that I just couldn’t identify with. Either because retarded or disbelief that he learned it at all. I enjoy reading the book but I think the experience was fabricated af, tons of hindsight wisdom. Unless a kid had an interest in outdoor living as well as a teacher that could answer questions, I think of it as a comfy survival story that nobody went through at that age

I read this Book and A Lot of Other books about surviving just like it. Unfortunately as a child I had nobody to go to about my interest in the outdoors and survival. I also had no woods to explore or anything green that I could access as a kid. I hate that I grew up in such a situation.

Not a chance, especially considering the main character is like 15 or something. When I was 15 I was a fucking retard.
