Imagine a world before North Face, Patagonia, or any other cold-weather gear. A world in which you had to rely only on what you could find in nature. It was in that world that industrial-scale hunting of seals took place because their fur provided fantastic insulation from the elements. It was also in that world that the unbelievable journey of the Nanina took place in which a group of men were abandoned on a remote set of islands. Join us as we learn about the world of 18th century maritime hunting in the recently-published book Left for Dead.
