"This story about the most isolated family living in the US is hard to imagine. After reading this, I can't believe I complain about temperatures as low as 40 degrees."
"I'm not into shows like Survivorman or Man Versus Wild, so maybe I'm not the target audience for this book, the true story of a man from Appleton who lives above the Artic Circle in the interior of Alaska. I learned a lot about Alaska and about trapping, which was interesting, but I felt the book was really poorly written. The author is Heimo's cousin, also from Appleton, and he seems unwilling to probe Heimo too much about the emotional impact of living as he does and the events of his life. It felt like a very on-the-surface biography, when it could have been so much more."
"Nearly on par with Ordinary Wolves in quality, more like Shopping for Porcupine in style.
These books about the principled frontiersmen in alaska are fantastic. I want to find more. There was one book referenced as what many alaska frontierspeople use as a guide book. i'm going to hunt that down."
