Have you ever wondered what living in and among nature would be like? In this richly detailed memoir, Ken Bernier recounts his lifelong love for the Northern Ontario hinterland.

Wilderness Memoirs takes you on a multi-decade trip through Ontario’s untamed places, as seen from the eyes of one man who was many things during his working life: a bait harvester, fur trapper, pilot, and prospector. For fifty-five eventful years, Ken shared his adventurous spirit with his nature-loving wife, and later, with their four children.

This book explores the natural world through fishing, hunting, and trapping and includes stories that are infused with a unique, lyrical quality that makes the reader feel like they are there with him. Experience the warmth of that crackling fire, the breeze that rippled the water, and the scratching of the branches against that car.

Beyond a sense of the physical world, however, is a deep-dive into what it means to love. Amid the pages of this compelling story about his love for nature, is Ken’s love for his wife, the loss he experienced when she passed, and the second chance he got at happiness.
