  • You want a book focused on family relationships or personal transformation rather than survival and frontier living.

About this book

Alaska Man is a memoir by Jill Davis about George Davis and his experiences growing up in Alaska's untamed and unforgiving environment. The narrative follows his survival and adaptation in the face of danger. The author emphasizes that the book documents the lives of authentic Alaskans who live off the grid and have built livelihoods as entrepreneurs working from the land and sea. The authors serve as wilderness and off-grid consultants, offering expertise in areas including sport fishing, hunting, adventures, lodges and outfitters, and remote property development and improvement.
