Picked up a copy of 98.6 Degrees by Cody Lundin last week. Most of you may have seen Cody Lundin on TV from time to time, usually after a tragedy has befallen a hiker, hunter or someone that was stuck on a less traveled road.

Many who go out beyond the three wire on our public lands are ill prepared for the trip, but return home. And there are those who spent many trips and perhaps nights outback and are well equiped. To often we overlook our abliites and the equipment located in the bottom of the pack.

98.6 Degrees is an insightfull and informative reminder of those things we need to know, that will allow us to return home-alive.

I agree totally, Nighthiker. This book rocks.

Lundin's common sense approach and especially his "in your face" style is not only enjoyable reading but makes this information stick to you like the flies on a late summer Supes hike.

I've tried the cotton balls soaked in vasaline fire starting trick, and it works! Makes a great addition to my little survival kit.
