exdiver: I looked thru the books I have here at home, but couldn't find Into the Wild. Perhaps my daughter has stashed it in her stuff. I was going to offer to send my (her) copy to you. If I locate it, the offer stands. [smiley=thumbup.gif]However while looking, I found a book titled Staying Alive in Alaska's Wild by Andy Nault...true adventures transcribed and edited by Tee Loftin. I haven't read this book yet but it will be the next one I "dive" into ;D It might serve as a read for you untill you get the book you want. Thumbing thru Staying Alive looks like it will do.
