How to Catch Crabs: A Pacific Coast Guide 4 reviews
Charlie White
Heritage House Publishing, 1998
it's all good
I make commercial crab traps for a living and this book has it all. When I mention this book to commercial crabbers most already know, they own the book! This book even talks about a ropes 'scope' when you put a trap in the water. A rookie commercial crabber I knew didn't clue into this fact and 'deadheaded' a string of thirty traps! Why a trap should be round is explained. Why a traps entrances ...

Grizzlies in Their Backyard 1 review
Beth Day
Heritage House Publishing, 1997
Where's the Bears?
If you are looking for a book about bears, keep looking. The word Grizzlies in the title is for marketing purposes. The book is essentially a chronicle of a couple settling in Knight Inlet, BC in the early 20th century as told to the author Beth Day in the 1950's. The book is ably written and entertaining, but is not about bears. The grizzlies have occasional cameo appearances, but ...

The Game of Our Lives1 review
Peter Gzowski
Heritage House Publishing, 2004
The Game of Our Soul
I first read this book when I was 11 years old and once again 12 years later. Both times it made me realize that hockey in Canada is a right of passage that is one of the few threads holding our nation together. It also helped me to understand that for those of us who love this fast graceful and violent game happiness is only a frozen pond away. The book follows the trials and tribulations of the ...

Winter Wise: Travel and Survival in Ice and Snow 1 review
Montague Alford
Heritage House Publishing, 1999
Unique Winter Approaches
A lot of survival books are derivitive, this one comes out of the authors personal experience and offers some original ideas and approaches. The You-Can stove alone is worth the price of the book, I have built two using the detailed instructions, and it's a good low-tech idea that could make a big difference in a snow cave or North of the tree line. There are also plans for a collapsable ...

Fortress of the Grizzlies: The Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary2 reviews
Dan Wakeman, Wendy Shymanski
Heritage House Publishing, 2003
Fortress of the Grizzlies
I looked forward to reading this book since I took a trip with the author to the Khutzeymateen several years ago. At that time Dan was talking about writing the book. I was happy to see that the bears are thriving and glad that "Lucy" is still doing well. I can't wait to return for another trip someday.
