"Alone in the wilderness" its about Dick Proenecki

I would couple this with a book written based on Dick's journal writings also, called "One Man's Wilderness, An Alaskan Odyssey" written by Sam Keith, a good friend of Dick's.

+1 Besides being an excellent film, the Inuit girl, Annabella Piugattuk was excellent in the role. From what I read, she owned those skills.

IMO , Patriots by James Wesley Rawles is the best survival fiction book ever.
Great story , original and informative , many parts of the book have good info and ideas for long term or short term survival.
Plus , it's quite believeable in today's wacky political/economic enviroment.

Jeremiah Johnson!

Any of the Gary Paulson books, hatchet was the first and best.
Also I have heard dies the fire was good, check it out on amazon.
Alas babylon was a great armageddon book, lots of info about being prepared.
World war Z is a great zombie book, as is the zombie survival guide, by the same author.

I have a few connections to her, I can't get any more detailed then that, I am afraid, but I can say she was great in the role.

+1 for hatchet and its sequels. (Gary Paulson.)

 

[Angus McGunnigl]

Wolf and Iron (book)
The Long Walk(book)
Hatchet and Brians Winter(Paulson)

Reading "Dies the Fire" right now.

There are some great books about actual shipwecks too. "Desperate Men and Lost Souls" is good.

Island of the Lost is very good.

Batavia's Graveyard is good too.

You know I did a little research after I saw the movie to see if they really did get rid of the guns. I could be wrong, but I don't remember reading anything that said they actually did. There's a lot of stuff out there about what really happened. Very good stuff. I just like to read the true accounts after I see the Hollywood versions.
