Part practical advice, part reverie, these essays follow a woodsman from the first February itch to go north through the science of travelling light, making camp, lying awake at night, open-water canoe travel and fishing for muskellunge. Along the way he meets trappers, Indian families and stranded strangers in the Canadian wilderness.
A favourite of canoeists and campers, written with the eye of a novelist who knew the woods first-hand. Download the free EPUB.
