Alone on Purpose: Adventures of a 21st Century Mountain Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781793377968)

In "Alone on Purpose", amateur adventurer Patrick Taylor pulls back the curtain covering wilderness in winter and reveals his uncommon intimacy with Mother Nature's private side. He spent years acquiring the knowledge & skills necessary to live like the mountain men of the American West; to disappear in the high country, and track & hunt & trap, and survive long exposure to the wilderness life. In 2016, the retired tech exec created an opportunity to test himself. He lived the entire winter alone in the Frank Church Wilderness in a cabin with a wood stove & an axe, sleeping outside in a wool capote, and crossing a remote mountain pass alone on foot. To his surprise, the ability to endure extreme isolation proved more important than any other survival skill he acquired. Patrick Taylor shares his sabbatical in this book; the conclusion of the '21st Century Mountain Man' non-fiction adventure trilogy.
