Like campfire stories, except true., August 30, 2010
This review is from: North of Reliance: A Personal Story of Living Beyond the Wilderness (Paperback)
This book is amazing. If you love the outdoors, you owe it to yourself to give it a read. I finished it a couple of weeks ago, and many of its stories still play through my mind. I guess the word for that is "haunting". Dave's narration is eloquent yet accessible, and the stories are a wonderfully candid peek into his life and the lessons he has learned in the far north. The story of Esker the wolf is particularly moving, but even the more mundane stories transport you to that far off world of ice, solitude, and caribou. It can't be beat.
