Rating: - Enjoyable reading...
I really enjoyed the tale of living it out in the wilds for a newbie outdoorsman. Very well written and really takes you into the backcountry to see how he adapted and strived to enjoy the atmosphere. Great job.

Started this absorbing adventure when I arrived home from my work day (in the office) & finished 3 hours later. What a thrilling few hours it was too!.
The story starts as a young, immature college guy rather niavely (& foolishly) takes on a 7 month job in the wilds with no experience, knowledge, or realistic idea of how he will cope out of his comfort zone & what it takes to survive on his own during the harsh winter weather living in a tent.
