This was not my favorite book of this genre, but it was an enjoyable read. I really love books about modern day explorers traveling and living off the land and the locals, but I felt that this one fell a little flat for me. I wish more of us lived closer to the land and more in tune with it and I love when books provide that sense of longing for that through their writing, but this one felt a little preachy at times.

I did enjoy the landscape and area with which he traveled and wrote about. It is something that I have not had much chance to read about and so was new and interesting to hear the stories of.

I would recommend this story to explorer/memoir fans, as even if it is not my favorite it was still a short and enjoyable read.
