Title: A good handbook of the old "trapper" style of winter camping
Review: A thorough explanation of the equipment andtechniques of winter camping before the adventof synthetic "miracle" fibers and gore-texWhile the style is at times boosterish, theauthor covers the subject well while managingto give warning of the dangers involved.The style of camping discussed is still in usein the far north among trappers and dog sleddersbut as far as I have been able to determine, thisbook is the *ONLY* detailed handbook of thisstyle of camping ever published.Books on lightwieght winter backpacking aboundand several practical as well as travel memoirstyle books on dog sledding are available,however no other book so thoroughly covers themundane day to day techniques of living outdoorsat fourty degrees below zero in canvas tents.
