captpierre Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 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.

npt1 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 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......
