Description:

Nine Dog Winter is a true story, about two young Canadians who recruit nine mismatched huskies, and head out camping in the Yukon in brutally cold weather.

Includes instructions for building toboggans, harnesses, moccasins and other traditional equipment. Hundreds of tips gathered from people who live in the Northern bush.

About the author BRUCE BATCHELOR: Though he'd lived in the Yukon for five years, the author's unfulfilled dream was to spend a winter in a remote wilderness cabin training dog teams and making long expeditions. When he teamed up with backcountry ranger Marsha McGillis, the (mis)adventures could begin! Bruce and Marsha own Agio Publishing House in Victoria, Canada.

REVIEWER'S COMMENT: "A real page turner. I couldn't wait to see what was around the next bend in the trail as I raced through this delightful read. An instant classic about Canada's North as experienced by two plucky southerners." -- David Pettigrew, filmmaker and sourdough
