This was an interesting book. Not exactly what I thought when I started it. The author is from Scotland and goes to Alaska to build a cabin way too late in the season. He plans on experiencing roughing it through the winter. He has absolutely no experience in anything that will help him do this. Without the help from the locals he would not have accomplished his goal. All that said....it did keep me interested. Nice style of writing. He never claims to have knowledge he doesn't and relates the humorous outcomes of a lot of his experiences.
