What are the other books about? I never knew there were 4 more. What about that shitty movie?
One is about the military asking him to demonstrate the same thing to an observer, but the observer gets hit by lightning or some shit and the guy does actually have to do it again.

Northern Canada sucks in a survival situation. Unless your kitted to be there, your in trouble.
This man speaks truth. The interior of Canada is basically uninhabitable without modern industrial society or at least tools and supplies from it.
The chugs existed on the coasts, the plains up against the modern US border, and in the arctic, the northern forests were utterly uninhabited before the railroads came.
You can do it with gear from the turn of the century, so long as you have access to fire, warm clothing and basic tools like an axe you can make it through much of the year. WINTER is your serious issue, the natives knew this well, reading about what they told early settlers is harrowing. If you dont have your shit in order for winter, prepare to die.
Seems hard to believe that people would rather live in the tundra than the forest
I'm pretty sure some tribes went in for the summer then came back to the plains for winter
I read this in 5ht or 6th grade at the time. I think it was recommend to me by the librarian at my school if recall, but I can't exactly. I was only the one in my class who read it and I couldn't put it down. When I graduated to the next class it was part of the class reading project which worked out because I already read it. Good book.
I got that ADHD shit and grew up in a different timeline. There are a bunch of references that >author refers to, types of birds and outdoor living and shit taught in school that I just couldn’t identify with. Either because moronic or disbelief that he learned it at all. I enjoy reading the book but I think the experience was fabricated af, tons of hindsight wisdom. Unless a kid had an interest in outdoor living as well as a teacher that could answer questions, I think of it as a comfy survival story that nobody went through at that age
I read this Book and A Lot of Other books about surviving just like it. Unfortunately as a child I had nobody to go to about my interest in the outdoors and survival. I also had no woods to explore or anything green that I could access as a kid. I hate that I grew up in such a situation.
Yes.
This man lived it.
To this day that continues to make PrepHole upset.
2/10

Based. He had everything, the hatchet, the bus, a .22.
why does this guy trigger PrepHole so much?
He was a based moron. He died doing what he loved. Who cares?
Because he did what PrepHoleists only post about doing. That's it, that's the secret reason.
He also died it

The encounter with the moose was hilarious though
Fricking kek I remember
How could he frick up that bad
One of the first books that got me thinking about why critical thinking is more important than rote memorization
50 days in northern Canada? I think 10% chance I would live.
It's one of the most life supporting places on earth, probably easier than a city
Nah. You can always suck a dick for a cheeseburger in the city. The moose don't like when you try.

My name is Brian and reading this in elementary school was a trip
Most people would died in the initial crash so no I probably wouldn’t
I wouldn't know, I only read patrician survival epics

Jack London's books are PrepHole as frick.
Based London enthusiast, I've read pic related 5+ times and sea wolf at least 3.
The Road is great

If i had gear yea. Most likely id die of dysentary or something
Not a chance, especially considering the main character is like 15 or something. When I was 15 I was a fricking moron.
brian's winter (the third book/AU to the first book) was unironically top-tier and i still remember how depressed it made me
