📚 Survival guide E-Book: https://www.magnusfrost.com/ In the summer of 1992, a 24-year-old man died inside an abandoned bus in the Alaskan bush, less than 30 miles from the highway. He had a rifle, a bag of rice, and a valley full of moose around him. Everybody blames his gear — the cheap boots, the small rifle. But what that boy was missing weighed nothing and cost nothing. I've spent nearly fifty winters alone out here, and I'm going to hand you fifteen old bush tricks that do the work of about $1,500 of modern trail gear, counting down to the river trick that would have walked him home.
