Product Description
Synopsis
To live in a pristine land unchanged by man...to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed...to choose an idyllic site, fell trees, and build a log cabin...to be a self-sufficient craftsman...to be content with your own thoughts and company...Thousands have such dreams. Few realise them. This is the inspiring true tale of one man's journey to leave the rat race and live a simpler life in the wilderness. Using journals, photographs, and a first-hand knowledge of his subject, Sam Keith has woven a tribute to a man who carved his dreams out of the Alaskan wilderness.

This is a wonderful, heart-warming story of one man making a life for himself in Alaska. You become very involved in his daily routines, his observations of life. His attitude about everything is so positive, it lifts you. I was sad when the book finished. Read this book and be blessed.

Enjoyed this asit was a personal account of a man who went his own way and lived his dream. As it was written almost on a
day to day experience you got a real feel of how life was like, how the weather was and how he enjoyed his lifestyle, so simple as it was. Also he showed some lovely turns of phrase, would like to read more of his works, if there is any ? Very practical for anyone also who would like to do a self build.

I LOVED this book. I wasn't sure if it was a book I'd finish before I started to read it when I realised it was a day to day account of one man's progress towards the building of a cabin, plus all the accoutriments required and day to day experiences throughout the seasons, to realise a dream of living alone in the wildersness of Alaska. Once I started it however I was HOOKED. What also came through was the 'measure of the man, which was inspirational, his joys and his quiet strength of character. 'One Mans Wilderness' will never be 'passed on'. Like 'North to the Night', it will be 'lent' only to people I trust to return it.
