About the Book

Following this family from white collar America to carving out a home in Alaska's Bush, the chapter titles themselves reveal an insight into this true story:
In "Finding the Bush," bears, mosquitoes and Alaska's Nature in general humbles this family. With 5 small plane loads of supplies and tools they set out for adventure in remote Alaska.
"Out of the Cold and Rain;" brings the urgency of shelter before winter sets in. Building from the land's raw materials is quite the surprise.
"If You Make the First Winter," as one pilot remarked, "The bush is filled with junk from those that didn't make it."
"Planes, Planes and Even Bigger Planes," A winter landing in the bush, "...a huge plume of snow engulfed the plane from sight for a few moments then bright fire could be seen coming from inside the snow plume followed by loud bangs as the plane roared out of the snow mist vibrating the ice..."
"The Turkey Bomber," Is as odd as it sounds, "...we tied a hundred foot piece of rope to his waist, gave some final instructions on what to do if he goes through the thin ice and sent him out inching..."
"Bush Rats and Other Colorful Animals" brings the characters of their remote bush up close. Even ABC Family Channel found this family and filmed this remote location as told in "Switched!..." and "Switched! Again."
Their livelihoods of creating and operating a wilderness camp and sport fishing business in the bush are told in "Skills. What You Can't Build A Shopping Mall With A Pocket Knife," and in "Here Fishy, Fishy."
A free 49 page online companion photo book with over 100 photos is also available from the author.
