On May 4, 1919, Charlie Cook set off for a year of adventure in the Minnesota-Ontario Boundary Waters. Soon abandoned by his comfort-loving companion, the restless World War I veteran spent an enlightening year learning--often the hard way--how to paddle and sail on windy lakes, hunt and fish for food, bake "rough delicacies" in a reflector oven, and build winter-proof shelters. His how-to descriptions of trapping beaver, mink, and other game are unsurpassed in their detail.

Cook also found his way into the border community of Ojibwe and mixed-blood families and a motley assortment of mysterious travelers, game wardens, and loners, including trapper Bill Berglund (who "adopted" Cook until the tenderfoot's eagerness to harvest pelts came between them).

Cook's adventure climaxed in a 700-mile expedition by dogsled north into Canada, where he reached the limits of his endurance--and just barely lived to tell the tale.

For anyone who loves the Boundary Waters or wonders what this rugged region was like not so long ago, Cook's story reveals a world still ruled by nature but on the brink of change.

Amazing Spark plugs
Smooth starting came after I fitted these Bosch 9614 double iridium plugs into my 2014 Honda Accord Sport, along with slightly better idling behavior. Longevity might come from those fine iridium tips; installing them felt straightforward enough. Yet here's the catch - the 9614 doesn't match what the factory actually specifies for the 2.4L engine in that year’s Accord. Most often, it's the 9694 or some other OEM-recommended plug you’d want instead

Great plug
Not sure about gas mileage, but these definitely improved the performance of my little 1.8 L Honda Civic, not sure if it’s because the old Plex were just old and weak or just because these are that much better. Acceleration is much better and engine or idle is much smoother

Bosch is a good product in any form
I had used these plugs before in my 03 Honda Element and they performed well for 5 years or more so I considered these for use in my now 07 Honda CRV.
