TZ loaned me four books after the hang:
Okpik: Cold-Weather Camping, Boy Scouts of America, 1990 (TZ's top choice)
Winter Hiking and Camping, John A. Danielsen, 2nd ed., 1977
Winter Camping, Bob Cary, 1979
The Complete Snow Camper's Guide, Raymond Bridge, 1973
Four Dog gave us each two pamphlets:
The Two Kilogram Survival Kit Field Manual, Mors Kochanski, 2000
Tools of Survival and Survival Training, Mors Kochanski, 1999
I have had the 1970 Dept of the Army Field Manual FM 21-76, Survival. for years. I have found lots of interesting things in it!
