"I read this book a couple of years ago but wanted to add it to my list because I liked this history so much. It is about exploring Labrador and how the wife of the explorer, who starved to death in Labrador (he took a rifle instead of a shotgun and couldn't kill birds for food), went on the finish the exploration with a native guide."
"The next time you're in the field and you whine about how your MSR stove doesn't work or that there's a hole in your gortex, read this book. You'll see what a wuss you really are."
