The true story of a guy (called Guy) who is married with two kids, stuck in a dead end job, commuting 2000 miles each month and up to his eyes in debt. He dreams of escaping to the wilderness - specifically Alaska and the Yukon river, where he dreams of building a log cabin and living there for a year...
One day his dream comes true and this is the book if his adventure.
He builds his cabin 300 miles from the nearest road and days walking from the nearest human settlement.
I loved this book. It's a great adventure story a decent writing style. Detailed enough have useful tips (and a section at the back detailing his equipment and some more tips) and he is humble throughout - this isn't some gung ho adventurer who spends the entire book making himself look grand - quite the opposite! I particularly liked his view on urban life upon his return, but I won't spoil that part for you (or breach the copywrite) by copying that passage here. Great armchair escapism - left me both impressed and jealous
