Author Sam Keith has taken thoughts and photos from Richard Proenneke's daily journals and woven them all together in a veritable wealth of reflection. Mr. Proenneke was flown into a remote Alaskan wilderness where he lived off the land in a wilderness setting in near total self sufficiency. He built his log cabin and many other useful articles from materials he prepared himself; he fed himself from nature's pantry with supplemental supplies periodically flown in. His journals provide a glimpse of a reflective, secure individual completely at ease in the wilderness. If you are looking for thrills and adventure this is not the book for you. If, however, you relish quiet glimpses into the daily musings of a wilderness DIY expert, then you will enjoy this book.
