A new season brings even greater challenges for mountain men old and new. In the frozen wilds of Alaska’s Great Northern Range, bush pilot and fur trapper Marty Meierotto hopes to rebound from a disappointing trapping season, but a late-arriving winter threatens to derail him before he can even get started. In the isolated Yaak Valley of northwest Montana, Tom Oar and his wife, Nancy, must battle all-consuming wildfires and repel a host of natural invaders ranging from marauding grizzly bears to a pack of wolves. Meanwhile in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Eustace Conway struggles to repay a hefty cash loan that he took out in order to save his land from a government lien.

Read this book for advice you'll probably never need – about how to scare a big bearded guy out of your house with four simple words or how to derail a North Slope natural gas deal using two pounds of lean hamburger. Or simply enjoy a rural Alaska perspective on a wide range of early 21st century topics. In these pages you'll find bite-sized takes on restless teenagers, twisted nature movies, Haiti's tragic earthquake, big box stores, civics, cell phones, civility and the contradictory behavior of sub-atomic particles in auroral research, as well as a look at the equally contradictory legacy of Governor Sarah Palin.
