Publisher Description
Dave Vander Meer was just eighteen years old when he set out on his own to explore the northern wilderness of Ontario. Winter would start in just a week, and there was a camp to build, traps to set, and food and furs to collect. To survive, he needed to call upon all his knowledge because the closest point of civilization was more than twenty miles away.
Now, years later, he still looks back upon his time as a teenager in the woods with wonder. He had the chance to walk the trails and paddle the lakes as he experienced the excitement of eluding several brushes with death.
Jump into a dream and experience the beauty, danger, and excitement that a trapper enjoys during his daily routines in The Call of the Wilderness.

Great Read
If you love the outdoors, you'll love this book, plain and simple. The author, inspired by the true life adventures of the Vanderbeck family (as chronicled by Stephen Meader, in his wonderful book, Traplines North), embarks on his own solitary adventure in the Canadian Northwoods. Luckily for armchair adventurers (like me) he provides us with a wonderful, first hand account of that magical time in his life. It's truly a bargain, so light the fire, and follow his snow shoe tracks from the comfort of your favorite chair.
