Wolverine pelts are hard to get but make excellent parka ruffs.
The fur is dense and resists frost buildup, and the leather is thick and strong. No, my choice for Best Symbol of the Wilderness is the wolverine. I've grown up around wolves, listened to them howl as the packs come together in the fall or hunt together in the winter. I've seen them curious, and I've seen them aggressive, and I've watched their pups at play even within sight of our home. I've also grown up in wolverine country, but I have never come across one except in a trap.
