Summary

Over two decades before the word survivorwould become synonymous with prime-time television, two men were abandoned by helicopter in the blackfly-infested boreal forest of northern Quebec for what would amount to a 31-day epic adventure. In his bestselling French language Surviviethonbooks, André-François Bourbeau presented the original first-person story of their trials. Without fire, weapons, shelter, tools, or proper clothing they emerged, not only setting a Guinness world record for voluntary wilderness survival but also deepening their respect and understanding of our natural surroundings. Professor Bourbeau turned his passion into a celebrated career as a ground-breaking researcher and teacher of primitive wilderness survival. Here is his unadulterated, gritty, and often hilarious account of mistakes followed by inspiring successes.
