Hang in there, guy. I haven't ordered my copy yet.

I have seen that documentary. That man started his dream when he was only a couple of years younger than I am and spent fifteen years on his remote site. It was a really remarkable story, all the more so BECAUSE HE DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING on film and print.

I know somebody personally who is his equal in every way. Here's his book. My review is about three down from the top, signed by Trapper.

P.S. I think Mardie Murie mentioned visiting him at Twin lakes, in a later edition of her book.
