One great book!
Rating:
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas after seeing a documentary and he read it in only a day or two. He said it was the best book he ever read.
REQUIRED READING
Rating:
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH STARS TO GIVE THIS BOOK. SIMPLY SAID THIS BOOK SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR THE HUMAN RACE. WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO READ, YOU CAN PROBABLY FINISH IT IN ONE OR TWO SITTINGS. BUT THE MESSAGE OF THE BOOK WILL STAY WITH YOU FOR A LIFETIME, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A WORKER AND LIKE DOING THINGS ON YOUR OWN.
THE BOOK IS A VIRTUAL MANUAL FOR BEING A DECENT PERSON: USE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED, BE SELF RELIANT, RESPECT THE EARTH AND ALL OF IT'S INHABITANTS, LEARN HOW TO BE ACCOMPLISHED AT MORE THAN ONE OR TWO THINGS, WORK HARD, EAT WELL, RESPECT YOUR BODY...I COULD GO ON AND ON.
BUY THIS BOOK AND READ IT MORE THAN ONCE. IF YOU DON'T GET WHAT I AM SAYING THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY BEYOND THE INSPIRATION OF ANY BOOK TO BEGIN WITH. IF YOU DO GET IT YOU WILL KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.
AT WORST AN ENTERTAINING STORY ABOUT A TRULY GREAT MAN( SADLY BECOMING FEWER AND FARTHER BETWEEN) AT BEST AN INSPIRING STORY THAT WILL CHANGE SOME OF YOUR VIEWS ON LIFE.
What a story
Rating:
I was not prepared for this book but it totally consumed my outdoor longing. I couldn't put it down.
Massive impact on my dreams

Inspiring and factual
Rating:
A fantastic account of this man living in Alaska all alone. Most of the book is basically a diary of day to day activites, but if this is interesting to you, you will enjoy it. He built his own cabin 100% by hand, hunted, hiked, and just immersed himself in the outdoors. Very interesting. Its hard to fathom how he did it all.
Must Read
Rating:
This is a great book. It was delivered quickly and was in excellent condition. A must for any library.
