This book was very interesting. I learned how to build an igloo witch is pretty hard. When a polar comes to your camp your suppose to shoot off some warning shots. This book will come in handy if you ever have to go somewhere really cold. It sounds pretty hard to handle a dog sled. You have to wear alot of clouthes when your in the cold. I plan I reading all the others
