Still Wild: The Alaska Off Grid Survival Series

A first-person account of living in the wilds of Alaska as a Mountain Man! The third in a series of eight books, much of it written in the wilds.Book 3 - Still WildI acquire a couple more homesteads and cut more traplines.

I give up sled dogs and enter the world of snowmachine adventures.

I winter in Galena and visit many native villages. There are bear encounters, and many survival situations to learn about.

I become a serious mammoth hunter and find fossils as part of my living. I work with a land surveyor specializing in homesteads and wilderness surveys, getting paid to use my boat.

My art sells well, so I do some big shows. I become more social and understand civilization better. I see the wisdom of being accepted by others. I learn. I grow. I try to change, as the world does.

The economy changes. It is less acceptable to be a trapper.

I never become totally civilized as a city person defines it, but maybe I do, relative to the life I had in book one.
