If a man has spent his professional life measuring the flow of northern rivers; climbed Alaska's Mount McKinley and a host of other northern peaks; was a member of both Yale University and Maine University scienntific expeditions to the Antarctic; guided a film crew documenting the late Robert Kennedy's ascent of Mount Kennedy; and crossed the St. Elias mountain range, then he is no stranger to ice and snow. In Winter Wise, Monty Alford shares a lifetime of experience, technique, and personal knowledge of surviving and travelling on ice and snow.

Unique Winter Approaches,

This review is from: Winter Wise: Travel and Survival in Ice and Snow (Paperback)
A lot of survival books are derivitive, this one comes out of the authors personal experience and offers some original ideas and approaches.The You-Can stove alone is worth the price of the book, I have built two using the detailed instructions, and it's a good low-tech idea that could make a big difference in a snow cave or North of the tree line. There are also plans for a collapsable travel sled that looks worth making. The book gives a good primer on winter travel, ice and river hazards, suitable clothing, hypothermia and is a great suppliment to a winter living library.
