“The critical difference between a cold wet group who sets up camp and
a group that decides to push on is the former have already made the decision to survive
and the latter is heading into a potentially critical survival situation..”
“I know that given knowledge and the time to practice in a positive environment,
everyone can master outdoor skills and enjoy successful wilderness travel.”

everywhere you plan to go."

"The Canadian wilderness is nature’s fillet mignon;
once you’ve had a taste, ground beef riddled with asphalt is no substitute.
Enjoy it, but don’t order it rarer than your stomach can handle."
