Survival in the boreal forest
Les Stroud is perhaps better known as Survivorman. Here are two of his early survival movies, where he does a week in summer in northern Ontario, and then a week in winter in the same area. He really manages to show that it is possible if you know what you are doing, but that it is not trivial.
First summer:
Then winter:
Fire, the difficulty in actually finding food, the importance of shelter, and in winter the vital importance of fire. Also note that he brings a bit more kit in winter, even if it is pretty bare bones even then.
