Cordee Books Guy Grieve Call of the Wild Paperback Guy Grieve's life was going nowhere - trapped in a job he hated, commuting 2,000 miles a month and up to his neck in debt. But he dreamed of escaping it all to live alone in one of the wildest, most remote places on earth - Alaska. And just when he'd given up hope, the dream came true. Suddenly Guy was thrown into one of the harshest environments in the world, miles from the nearest human being and armed with only the most basic equipment. And he soon found - whether building a log cabin from scratch, hunting, ice fishing or of course dodging bears in the buff - that life in the wilderness was anything but easy...Part Ray Mears, part Bill Bryson, CALL OF THE WILD is the gripping story of how a mild-mannered commuter struggled with the elements - and himself - and eventually learned the ways of the wild. Cordee Books Climbers Log Book Book Climbers tend to split quite neatly into those who wouldn’t dream of recording any of their climbing exploits, and those who regard keeping a minutely detailed record as an essential part of the activity. For those in the second category, The Climbers Logbook is an attractive option consisting of spiral bound pages, simply subdivided for use to record your climbs and liberally interspersed with inspirational photography from Dave “Cubby” Cuthbertson.
