Outdoor Adventure Book Recommendation

[Gen273]

Guy’s
I am looking for recommendations for a new book to read. I am looking for something in outdoor adventure non-fiction. I prefer a book with bear hunting and back country wilderness or an Alaskan setting. Thanks in advance!!

Last Light Breaking, by Nic Jans.

Thanks!

You bet. Wish I still had my copy, I'd read it again, its that good. Took it with me on the Kobuk for a couple weeks in 1995, which made it seem a little cooler I suppose.

I read this book- how Alaska hunting used to be




I have read a few other Alaskan adventure books , but not on hunting- Many on Denali climbs, and Into the Wild by Krakauer is a classic

The land of feast and famine by helge ingestad is good. Pretty wild stuff he did.

One Man's Wilderness by Dick Proenneke
Not a whole lot of intense action/adventure but an interesting read nonetheless

 

[elkliver]

Not a hunting adventure but The Grass Beyond the Mountains is really good. Pioneering in the back country of bc

81 Days Below Zero by Brian Murphy. Someone on here recommended it and I really enjoyed. About a military pilot who crashed and his fight for survival.

Some of the ones I’ve enjoyed most are the bush pilot books. Planes and Alaska kind of go hand in hand. Wager with the Wind(James Greiner) and The Last of the Bush Pilots(Harmon Helmericks) are two of my favorites. Helmerick’s book isn’t super exciting but was just a great recount of what it was like to live, fly, and hunt in the wilds of Alaska.
