 Alaska's
Wolf Man
by Jim Rearden(Our review) By far the best book we've ever read about Alaska. See
Alaska through the eyes of a young man, full of adventure, back when
Alaska was untouched. Join Frank Glaser as he walks the Valdes Trail,
becomes a market hunter, and studies wolves for the government from his
remote cabins in Alaska's interior. An outstanding read!

One
Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey
by Sam Keith & Richard Proenneke(Our review) An excellent book about
living in remote Alaska. Richard Proenneke moved to remote Alaska in his
50s and built a cabin by hand and lived there in the wild for some 35
years! A true story of what Alaska is all about. Probably our second
favorite book. |

Alone
in the Wilderness DVD
by Bob Swerer(Our review) A great DVD documenting the entire
building process of a small log cabin in remote Alaska by Richard
Proenneke when he first left civilization and moved way off the grid.
Surviving sub zero temps, watching wildlife, and learning to live life
simply! |

Walk
Softly With Me
by Sharon McLeod-Everette
(Our review) A very well written book about hunting in Alaska through the
eyes of a female master guide. Join Sharon as she leads several clients to
success; and as she faces Alaska's interior grizzly bear while resting in
a tent. Sharon is an example for all women: Hunting isn't just for
men anymore! |

Alaska
Hunting Adventure : 700 Miles Alone by Backpack and Raft
by Buck Nelson(Our review) Far more than just a hunting video. This truly shows the
raw beauty of Alaska and what remote is all about. Join Buck as he
spends 45 days alone Dall sheep hunting, and float hunting for caribou
and moose. This is without a doubt our favorite hunting video. A video
you can watch over and over! |

Caribou:
Wanderer of the Tundra
by Tom Walker
(Our review) When Aaron and I moved to Alaska we knew little about
caribou. As we've traveled the roads in Alaska we've had the pleasure of
seeing hundreds of caribou on their yearly migration. Caribou are so
unique, they travel MILES every year from calving grounds to wintering
grounds, and their path is never the same. Caribou have unique antlers
as well. You'll never find two caribou sheds that are even close
to the same. Get to know this awesome creature a little better in this
book with stunning Alaska scenery. |

by Victor Van Ballenberghe
(Our Review) Our favorite moose book. Learn
about moose habitat, life cycle, and just about anything else you'd like
to know. The photos are phenomenal! |

A
Boone and Crockett Field Guide to Measuring and Judging Big Game
by William H. Nesbitt & Philip L. Wright
(Our review)
This is Aaron's favorite book. He takes it everywhere, and always has it
out when we bring new antler sheds home so he can score them. Learn to
score your trophies or score shed antlers you find in the field. |

(Our Review) If you think building a log cabin like ours, looks like
something you want to do, this is the book for you. Aaron and I used
this book to guide us through most of the process in

L Is for Last Frontier
by Carol Crane & Michael Glenn Monroe
(Our review) Ok so this book is a little different than the other ones
in this store, but it definitely is in the same class! This is one of my
favorite Alaska books. The illustrations are fantastic and the alphabet
is better in Alaska than anywhere else I think. Not just for youngsters,
this book expands on what we all know as the alphabet. |

The Night Before Christmas
by Clement C. Moore & Bruce Whatley
(Our review) Another book for all ages. Aaron & I love this version of
The Night Before Christmas because of the fantastic
illustrations. We have a great appreciation for caribou, and the
illustrator depicted them so well in this book...their antlers are
perfect! |
