No, not that one but an excellent book by a Scots chap, Guy Grieve. He gets sick of the 9 to 5 in the Edinburgh publishing world and decides to go and live in the Alaskan wilderness.
A great read, lots of survivalesque action, quite a bit on equipment and guns.
However, to Guy a knife is just a knife so no real details. This is ironic as his knives ( he seems to carry at least two fixed blades at all times) literally save his life. Twice.
Just thought that the good folks here would really enjoy it.:thumbup:

Just to clarify, this is a non-fiction book published by Hodder.
Full title is 'Call of the Wild My Escape To Alaska' by Guy Grieve.
 
It's been ages since I've read that book. I may have to give it another look; however, while on the subject how about some suggestions as to other survival based fiction? Don't mean to hijack your thread only expand it's potential ;).
 
call of the wild is a Great book! so is "Island of The Blue Dolphins", and "Call It Courage"
 
For me it was HATCHET. I read it in 8th grade. It was a very good book also a movie about it. Forgot the name.
