DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Excellent. Interesting, with Reservations R. Bowman So the guy is wandering around buck naked and as I recall never mentions mosquitoes or deer flies? They must have bred them special for me when I lived in Maine. While he may have toughened his feet up prior to starting his journey, the lack of foot gear for the first days is also puzzling. If he was happy barefooting down the trail in the beginning, why bother weaving crude sandals later? I suppose you could trap a bear cub in a small pit and beat it to death, but that's a good sized hide that he is pictured wearing.At least he picked August, when the berries would be ripe, although it's difficult to get adequate nutrition from berries alo. Hendan said Well worth if. More than simply recounting his two month experience, the author draws from his past experiences to weave together a captivating tale of the wilderness. With somewhat of a "Walden" feel, he shares his thoughts on percieved problems of society, conditions generally worse now 100 years later.Well worth if for anyone interested in survivalism, adventure, minimalism, the workings of nature generally, or simply in search of a riveting story of one man's experiment with the wild.
