I read the book a few years back while being stranded in an Airport out west, I really liked it and gave it to my son to read, he also loved it.

Recently, I saw a show on TV about this very guy #^&#^&#^&#^& Proenneke who packed it up and moved (at age 51) into the back woods of Alaska. He lived there for something like 35 years. (Died in 2003) The book was fasinating, but after seeing the show I pick up the DVD's and it is really something. This guy did it all. If you ever thought about leaving the real world and moving to chilly paradise this is a must see.

There is a web site out there easily found pitching all the videos but if you get to see what he was able to do it is impressive. The log home he made was amazing with what he had.

Have you guys read this book?
