"To go into the wilderness, build a strong and warm log cabin with my own two hands, and hunt for my food. Trap fur bearing animals to sell to the fur buyers for money to buy the things I couldn't produce myself, get my water from the creek, cut the firewood I would need to cook my food and to keep me warm through the long cold winters of the 'North Country,' could I do something like that?"
Amazon Reviews"The adventure Robert Hilliker shares is one of integrity and endurance. He shows that strength and boldness are a way of life when mixed with true determination. This is a motivating adventure that will take you to the edge of your seat. Through Robert's account of the happenings, you can feel the bitter cold and taste the freshness of the earth."
- Avid Reader "I found this book fascinating. It's written in a refreshing conversational style that feels like sitting around a campfire, hearing the author tell his stories. Bob Hilliker is a man born for Alaska! He's a man of skill with an incredible ability to bring something amazing out of every adventure."

About the Author
Moving to Alaska is a lifelong dream of many people. Bob and his wife are two people who acted on their dream.
Bob's life experiences are interesting and varied: running a trapline and panning for gold, learning to fly a 1960 Piper Super Cub, building his own muzzleloaders, surviving several near-death experiences and shooting an aggressive grizzly bear on his front porch.
Bob lives in his log cabin on the East Fork of Dry Creek in the Interior of Alaska with his wife Betty and their Australian Shepherd, Blue.
Bob is 92 years old and has lived in the Alaskan bush in the same cabin he and his family built with their own hands more than 40 years ago.
Since his cabin has no running water, he and his 88-year-old wife Betty use an outhouse to this day (even when it's negative 60 degrees outside).
Bob and Betty are well-known and loved throughout the Interior of Alaska and have many friends and family throughout the world who are buying his book and sharing it with their friends.
