Description

Guy Grieve's life was stuck in a rut, trapped in a job he hated and commuting 2,000 miles a month. But he had a dream of escaping it all to live alone in one of the wildest places on earth - Alaska. That dream finally came true, and Guy found himself in one of the harshest environments in the world, miles from the nearest human being, with only basic equipment. As he struggled to build a log cabin, hunt, ice fish, and fend off bears, Guy discovered that life in the wilderness was far from easy. He had to confront the elements and himself, and learn to survive in a world that was both beautiful and brutal. This is a gripping story of one man's journey into the wild, and the lessons he learned along the way. Part survival story, part personal journey, "Call of the Wild" is a compelling account of a man's struggle to adapt to a new way of life.
