RM Patterson has got some other dandies too. Far Pastures is a good one.

Nahanni by Dick Turner is a good one. A lot of the same fellas that were in Dangerous River, but just a different perspective on a similar area and time frame.

The Tiger by John Vailiant. True story about a man-eating tiger in Siberia. Fascinating.

If you are reading from a device.

Rich Hobson's "Grass beyond the Mountain" and sequels. Dude Lavington's "9 lives of a Cowboy". All about homesteading the Chilcotin.

why not find 'Outposts and Bushplanes' by Bruce Lamb (aka H4831 on CGN) from Salmon Arm. he recently passed back in April and having just read his unpublished short story, 'When Roosters Crowed and Frogs Croaked', I'd like to read more about his life growing up in the 1930's.

another good option would be anything by R.M. Patterson. I'm going to go out and get everything he wrote. I read my dad's copy of 'Dangerous River' so many times the binding broke down!

X2 For Outposts and Bush Planes. Sad to hear about Bruce's passing, I hadn't heard. Definitely worth a read!

Get on the Safari Press website. You just missed a big sale. Books from $3-$20. I bought 16 new books for $123. Mostly hardcover regular 80-$100 each

Asia, Africa, Europe, North America. Lots of the classics

Those collections have been hit & miss for me. I picked up a 3 book set mostly because it contained a collection of Jack O'Connor stories, but the other 2 books went from so-so to just plain bad.

I think Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac would make good back country reading.
