Boreal forest
I've read that lots of people would rather survive in the boreal forest. The problem is that i can't find any usable info on this specific place. Any survival fishing, hunting, shelter or whatever tips would be greatly apreciated!
Also i appologize if this was already covered in a previouse thread but i can't seem to find older threads that i have not subscribed to.
Ask WarEagle 69 he lives there.
There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.
alrighty then i'l have to do that.
These might help

thanks ridgewolf. Does anybody know any fishing tricks that I could use. something I don't have to be around for would be the best. I was thinking of bending a sapling, tying some line to the tip, rigging the line with some type of trigger, and tossing the hook out. when a fish bites, the trigger would let go, thereby setting the hook or possibly tossing the fish up on shore. does this seem feasable if not plausible?
Hand grenades are pretty effective.
gun con·trol n. definition 1. The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker received that fatal bullet wound. 2. The ability to hit what you are aiming at. 3. The first key step of a corrupt political agenda where good citizens are disarmed so that a dictatorship may replace a democracy in the future.
naw just toss a line out with sinkers and and go deadline about twenty or thirty feet off shore and tie it to a big azz rock real good like, the fish take the bait and with no resistance swallows hook and in the morning or later on in the day go check. I once caught an 8 pound catfish that way.

well the fish i am after are in real shallow water and are quite finicky. they can feel the line and spit it out.i think i will try it. just for kicks
Speedhooks.
Look up speed hooks. They are made for the fishing your talking about.
Here's a wiki on the boreal forests of canada.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiga
Tracks Across the High Plains...Death on the Bombay Line...A Touch of Death and Mayhem...Dead Rock...The Griswald Mine Boys...All On Amazon Books.
And here is a website that sells them.. http://www.bepreparedtosurvive.com/index.html
Also, they have a fishing reel that you can attach to an overhanging tree branch and put the line in the water. Apparently it holds the fish until you get there later... In an actual survival situation, you can rig up a trot line from the bank with several hooks from it... although that may be illegal in several states. I would only use that method if I was in an actual survival situation.

Since northern Saskatchewan is boreal forest,info should be readily available in your area,as I see you're from SK.Google,public libraries & bookstores will all have info pertaining to this area.A good book to pick up is Bushcraft,by Mors Kochanski.Everything in it is about the boreal forests of Canada.Lots of good info.
thanks cyc79. ridgewolf, rick sam. you too.
I use speedhook and a survival yo-yo. You can buy them here.
"The ability for a person to prevail in a survival situation is based on three factors: survival knowledge, equipment, and will to survive. All are important, but the most important is the will to survive." -Greg Davenport
how well does the survival yo yo work? does it really lift a fish out of the water?
It works great. I haven't seen it lift a fish out of water, but had it lift a fish head a little bit out of the water once. Most of the time the fish are close to the surface.

are these survival yoyos? http://search.ebay.ca/search/search....eel&category0=
Hmmm, looks like what I was talking about in my post... That link is to EBay Canada... I thought for a second that Les Stroud had a side business going..
I just glanced at the page though.. they might be automatic reels for fishing rods. I think the reel that you might want has a different attachment configuration than that on a fishing rod but either of them might work.
On the link I provided earlier, you can't beat the price of those on EBay..
