Publisher's Synopsis
A first-person account of living in the wilds of Alaska as a Mountain Man! The sixth in a series of eight books, much of it written in the wilds.Book 6 - Surviving Wild
Iris is my partner. Business grows, with money coming in, but causes 'complications.' I understand why I left for the wilds in the first place.
I get better at fossil hunting and have some exciting trips getting mammoth tusks and other ancient treasures. I am viewed as an expert on a few subjects and Discovery TV and reality shows contact me several times.
The new life in town causes legal issues that have been nipping at my heels off and on throughout my time in Alaska. Fish and Wildlife ask, "Why are you alone out here where we cannot keep an eye on you? We know you are up to something. What is it you have to hide? We will find out!" This mentality is that different is bad and of concern. I end up being investigated. A SWAT team shows up at my property with a dozen cars and 20 cops.
My arrest makes headlines. I'm sentenced to Federal Prison for six months as a felon. This is a stark contrast to 'Book 1-Going Wild, ' where I have as much freedom as it is possible to have.
How did I get from there to here?
