It's a good read. Until I read it I never realized how much stuff he actually did for an income.

Yep its a real good book. Like buckfreak, he did a bunch of things besides trapping, all pretty much living off the land.

It was a good read and two others like it that I read that you may already have read and thats Russ Carmens biography book and also Johnny Thorpes 50 years a trapper/treasure hunter. Both top of the line reading material.
