This book is a celebration of life as seen through the eyes of a
man who spent two astonishing, often difficult, and always
formative years as a "mountain man" in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho
and Montana. Here are the words of a man who has done what few
others have chosen to do in modern times, who has experienced life
differently, deliberately, primally - forced to consciously
recognize his utter dependence on everything and everyone around
him, eventually realizing that everyone and everything in life is a
teacher, a master, a guru - if only we open ourselves to the
learning. A person's view of things changes fundamentally after
spending months eating little other than rattlesnakes, ants, and
mice; dry-camping high on mountainsides on pitch-black nights
pierced by the shrill unearthly shrieks of rutting bull elk; facing
the perils of rivers, trails, weather, and wild animals while
utterly alone and without the benefits of modern technologies;
living without electricity, refrigeration, radio, TV, telephones,
newspapers, computers, iPods, music, news, libraries, medical aid,
911, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, running water, toilet paper,
extra clothes, grocery stores, groceries, or anything else you
yourself couldn't make, grow, forage, catch, or kill by your own
hand. Perspectives change. Beliefs change. People change. Here are
the thoughts and words of a "mountain man" reflecting his own
unique, personal experience of life.
