About This Book

A group of young outdoorsmen ventures into the northern wilderness for winter camping and hunting, facing moose, caribou, and bears while practising ice-fishing, snow-shoeing, tracking, and campcraft. Episodes alternate action and instruction as the boys cook over fires, argue about game, set tip-ups, and mend equipment, and they encounter a mysterious presence in the pine woods and a vulnerable waif needing aid. Tension builds through animal encounters, a rude awakening, and night vigils, prompting careful plans and strategic moves. The narrative proceeds episodically through layered outdoors lore, interpersonal camaraderie, and practical resourcefulness toward a concluding homecoming.
