A first-person account of living in the wilds of Alaska as a Mountain Man! The fifth in a series of eight books, much of it written in the wilds.
Book 5 - Back To Wild
I acquire a home in Nenana and start a web store. I am forced out of my subsistence lifestyle, partly because of changes in the laws. I do some serious mammoth hunting.
Unstable power causes a lot of computer data loss. I learn by punching keys to see what happens. It takes a long time to get good enough to create a book.
I continue the Mammoth hunts. The Tucson fossil gem show and State fair do well for me.
This period of 'being civilized' that I am trying out, has advantages, but also a price to pay-a big change from the wilderness life and being alone!
I am a suspect in a murder investigation. Another trapper tries to move in on my territory. There are neighbors and infringements on my property.
I fear I cannot change who I am. There is difficulty blending the two lives and ways of thinking. There are mail-order women coming and going, as well as the usual adventures and situations I manage to get myself into.
