    +1 for the man called red, my 9 year old is reading it right now and loves it so far.

    About a couple who moved from Seattle to the BC Coast and hand logged, hunted, fished,trapped. Amazing story, those people were tough as nails.
    This was my favourite book as a kid! There is another version of it called "home if the grizzlies". I wouldn't recemmond to bring in a long hunt only because it's a quick read.

    “Hard hunting” by Patrick Shaughnessy and Diane Swingle is a great mountain hunting book, tough to find a copy, but worth the read if a guy can find it.

    “Gone hunting” and “gone hunting again” by pat Ferguson are a couple other good ones.

    This year im changing it up a bit, leaving the book at home and taking my lady instead heh heh.

    "Touching the Void"
    by Joe Simpson is a true story of a mountaineering accident and survival. What Mr. Simpson goes through and lives to tell the tale is simply amazing.

    Some really good recommendations already. I just finished Rinella’s “American Buffalo” and really enjoyed it. It’s nice and small...

    when things really get tough and it seems you can't make another day, pull out Jon Krakauers Into Thin Air for a bit of perspective

    Take a smaller book than Wilburs fat stories, they never seem to end til late in the winter at home

    Had one book once for three of us stuck in a storm. First 100 pages were read then torn off and passed around, sucked that the slow reader wasn't last in line

    Great read. Also, on a similar theme, The White Spider by Heinrich Harrer. He was part of the first team to climb the north face of the Eiger and talks about the many attempts - and lives lost - to climb it.
