He wants to fit in. But how does one learn to be a Mountain Man? By observing, imitating, and making near-fatal mistakes, that's how. The choices a boy has to make. Eat processed food or on-the-hoof food, learn to operate a chainsaw or freeze to death, figure out what a bunny boot is or lose a few toes, and by the way, which end of he barrel points up? This is the story of Doug's first difficult winter in a one-room cabin, trying to stay alive and come out of it with some semblance of Alaska cool. With side-splitting, self-depreciating humor, Doug shares his attempts to elevate himself past his perpetual state of greenhorn-ness by aligning himself with tough sourdoughs to someday claim the title of manly Mountain Man. 106268 1 9 2004 Not Really an Alaskan Mountain Man total:17|5:1|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 17 52 30 6 2 0 false false Sun Feb 22 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 08:29:23 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 08:57:38 -0700 2009 Farewell my Subaru so very much, and the subject was interesting to me.
