 Alaskan Dream! June 10, 2008
This book is great! As close to the wilderness as you can get. If you find you can never make it to Alaska, read this and you can say how close you were.
Inspirational Journey June 7, 2008
Sometimes you have to do what you need to do solo to get what you want from life. An inspirational journey into ones limits and dreams.

This is a must have for any handyman, outdoorsman, alaska lover, etc. You will be amazed by what this man does and the age he does it at!
You in Alaska April 6, 2008
This book is a fantastic journal of one man's personal adventure.
It is a daily log and seems to put you right into the day and time
of every event. As you read it, you will feel yourself picking the
blueberries, shaping each log and building a cabin. You will find
yourself watching bears, listening to sounds of a river flow at night,
the sounds of ice breaking from the frozen river.
You will find yourself creating a batch of sourdough biscuits, cooking
a pot of beans, to making friends with animals that arrive daily for you
to feed.
After I finished reading this book, I immediately started it again.
It is fantastic. I am now picking up little bits of information that
I somehow missed with first reading. It is definately a book that you
will find yourself going back to, because it IS an adventure without
ever leaving home
