Summary: not girly but you'll love it
Review: This isn't really my genre but when i started reading this story I couldn't put it down. It is incredibly inspiring and touching. It will touch your life and influence you in a positive way: a little like the book, Seabiscuit. It was educational too. It would be wonderful for children in difficult financial or familial situations to read. I can't stop talking about it and I can't put it down.

Summary: Welcome To The World Of 40 Below
Review: What would you do if it were 40 below and your snowmobile conked out 15 miles from your cabin?After reading this book you will understand that the answer is simple. You'd die. End of story. This is the tale of a real world tough guy who at a young age gave himself over to the pursuit of wilderness survival and is about the only one left out there with survival skills of this level. The author is no wimp either, spending considerable time with Mr. Korth plus doing mega-research on the history of the Alaskan wilderness, which he weaves into the story in an informing, non-boring way. When I read Into The Wild I somehow thought that the fellow that died just had a few unlucky breaks-like the river rising which trapped him out in that old bus. Wrong. That guy never stood a chance from day one, and this book shows you why. Like a lot of guys I have always had two fantasies - living in the backwoods of Alaska or living on a remote tropical island. I heartily thank the author for paring my fantasy list down to one - the island.

Summary: Fantastic Voyage!
Review: Whether you are an armchair traveler or an active trekker, James Cambell's book The Final Frontiersman is a must read.
The author is a journalist who can really write, and he takes the reader to where few people will ever travel, and guides us where he really did travel to visit the trapper Heimo Korth and his family in a world that is more awe inspiring, life threatening, and wonderous than any that has been chronicled in modern times.
