Winter Wise: Travel and Survival in Ice and Snow

Rating:
Summary: Unique Winter Approaches
Review: A lot of survival books are derivitive, this one comes out of the authors personal experience and offers some original ideas and approaches.

The You-Can stove alone is worth the price of the book, I have built two using the detailed instructions, and it's a good low-tech idea that could make a big difference in a snow cave or North of the tree line. There are also plans for a collapsable travel sled that looks worth making.

The book gives a good primer on winter travel, ice and river hazards, suitable clothing, hypothermia and is a great suppliment to a winter living library.
