You know, it's a funny thing.
Lost in the Barrens, Never Cry Wolf, and Snow Walker are all movies based on
books written by Farley Mowat. He's written a lot of books that are sort of
Man against Wild, Man in Wilderness, Human Survival types of books.
Each of the three mentioned involve indigenous peoples teaching others to survive
by using what's available to them in their environment.
I remember reading them when I was young (except for Snow Walker). Also, I
remember reading a book called Grey Seas Under about a sea going rescue tug in
the North Atlantic. If anyone is interested in maritime reading, that's a great
book to read.
