If you think you're a real man and can handle living in the woods eating berries and hunting for your next meal, check this guys life out. I'm pretty sure you'll leave such a living to the supremely focused and mildly anti-social. (Eric don't read this book)
There was few drawbacks to this book. The first is that the female author seemed to either have slept with him or really wanted to at some point and that comes through. Second, the final few chapters of this book really suck and kinda pissed me off since they created an incredibly dull ending to a pretty damned good read. Still, you can't miss reading a story about some crazy ass cool life where some dude just turns himself into something out of the pages of "The Last of the Mohicans". He is self made in so many ways and really carves something special out of today's modern and overly convenient life.
Be a man, grab your sack and read this book.
