Book Recommendation

[captpierre]

I've read most of Tom Clancy's stuff.

 

Most CIA, cold war, terrorism busting.

 

He wrote "Hunt for Red October"

 

real "Guy" stuff. Can't put it down. Some are long

One of my favourites but not exactly an outdoor/adventure book is Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, Two young bush Cree enlist in WW1 and end up as snipers in the trenches in France. There's some moose hunting, aboriginal shamanism and pretty accurate accounts of trench warfare. Based loosely on Francis Pegahmagabow who was credited with 378 kills.

Thanks so much. Heading to the French next week for a week of solo fishing and have sourced a couple of these to bring!

Great thread!

 

I'd recommend anything by Farley Mowat.. Lost in the barrens, never cry wolf, Sea of slaughter, to name a few.. Easy to read, hard to put down!

How about when he marks his territory from the wolves?

For a really great reading time, you must spend time

reading -- "North to Cree Lake" .

Author is A. Karras.

Spell-binding to say the least, I have re-read it over 8 times and

cant believe what these two brothers endured over the times

running a trap line, temperatures of minus -60 degrees,

animal issues, water freezing in the cabin and trees spiltting

in half from the cold temps.

Fantastic book.

Cheers,

NPT1.

How about CD,s?

I have North to Cree Lake on my "must read" list, but it's pricey. A 'good' used hardcover is about $50...but I'm going to get it as all I've ever heard is that its one of the greatest northern adventure books ever.

 

Father's Day is next week....hmm......
