5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting True Life Adventure Story Dec 17 2002
Format:Paperback
Although I would never dare attempt such a treacherous journey fraught with so many dangers, by reading this book, I got an insight in the minds of Don and his companions as they attempted to paddle up to the Northwest passage by kayak. The book is a must read for people who love true outdoor adventure as played out under extremely adverse conditions. It shows what the human spirit can accomplish when guided by a vision, sheer determination and a "never say die" attitude. Once you start reading this book it is almost impossible to put down. I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guy has incredible determination Dec 9 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
He was so determined to get to his goal that he was willing to risk death. And it is not hard to die in the artic. It was truly enjoyable to read about someone's harrowing experiences in the unforgivable artic from my warm couch. Although he had a few breaks, like finding cabins just when he needed too, (I don't think that early adventurers had that option or GPS, and they died for it)he still faced the natural elements without wining and worked hard when others would have quit. This was a great adventure story.
