The latest Scandinavian publishing phenomenon is not a Stieg Larsson-like thriller; it's a book about chopping, stacking, and burning wood that has sold more than 200,000 copies in Norway and Sweden and has been a fixture on the best seller lists there for more than a year. Norwegian Wood provides useful advice on the rustic hows and whys of taking care of your heating needs, but it's also a thoughtful attempt to understand man's age-old predilection for stacking wood and passion for open fires.

In the fall of 1978, Ray Ordorica packed everything he thought he would need into his Toyota LandCruiser and drove north to Alaska. He came to a land he had never seen, to find something he wasn't even sure existed: a wilderness cabin he could use for a year or more to live, think, relax, read, and write. Ordorica found his cabin, fixed it up, and, although it was just an un-insulated 12- by 16-foot one-room log structure, he spent three winters in it in relative comfort.

There are many good prepper "list" books out there. There are also some very good prepper fiction books that teach what items you should stockpile through fictional examples. This book is not one of either of those types of books. This book assumes you will not be able to stockpile everything you need in a worst-case scenario, and it suggests certain items to stockpile so you can barter them for other items when the need arises.

Exactly what’s missing from all the personal hiking account stories

Publisher's summary
The ability to make a fire for warmth in cool and wet environments is critical for survival. Without fire you may die within a few hours. I have spent my life living and playing in the Pacific Northwest in the United States. In my neck of the woods, challenges of staying alive and avoiding hypothermia are constant. Except for a few warm and dry weeks in the summer; anybody outdoors is generally just a few hours from dying if they are wet. The remedy for this constant threat is: to stay dry, dress correctly and know how to instantly start and maintain a small fire. Fire means life in a survival situation. This book presupposes that you know the basics of how to start a fire under normal conditions. If you haven't done this very often, I suggest that you research the topic and practice starting a fire in a fireplace without anything except: paper, matches, kindling and fire wood. Practice until you can do it instantly and reliably. It is a lot harder than you think. Check out any Boy Scout manual if you need some tips or directions. Don't be embarrassed. Modern first world dwellers almost never have basic wilderness skills.

"Feeder" mindset means being in control of a situation, proactive rather than reactive. It is an optimistic outlook that reframes any situation as a learning experience. Kevin Estela teaches survival skills from this feeder-based perspective, which is what separates his teaching style from other wilderness instructors. Kevin has written the quintessential guide for an outdoor enthusiast's "bucket list" of skills - how to make a fire, build a shelter, gather food, find water, use a knife correctly, and make cordage.

"Feeder" mindset means being in control of a situation, proactive rather than reactive. It is an optimistic outlook that reframes any situation as a learning experience. Kevin Estela teaches survival skills from this feeder-based perspective, which is what separates his teaching style from other wilderness instructors. Kevin has written the quintessential guide for an outdoor enthusiast's "bucket list" of skills - how to make a fire, build a shelter, gather food, find water, use a knife correctly, and make cordage.
