Osbourne russells journal. I don't remember the title, but if you Google it I'm sure you can find it. It's the best mountain man book I've read. Journal of a Trapper

Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Subtitled Shakleton's Incredible Voyage. It was published in 1959 and is long out of print but can be found at online bookstore such as ABE Books where I buy almost all my books. I got a first edition in good condition there for less than $10.00 including shipping.
It's a non-fiction about the Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1915 and describes the incredible hardships and adversities endured by the expedition members.
It was recommended to me by a Tman member, I think it was White17 but not certain. I wasn't disappointed and don't think you will be either.
Eh...wot?

Here's two I can add... Marlin fishing is intrinsically, almost compulsorily, a team sport, one that requires a boat captain, mate, and fishing crew for the 16 million deep-sea anglers in America. But Carlos Bentos has won dozens of billfish competitions-working completely alone. In fair weather and foul, he single-handedly maneuvers his boat for twelve, fourteen, sixteen hours a day, days at a stretch, at the same time spotting, landing, and releasing unharmed marlin weighing hundreds of pounds. How does he do it? And why? In A Crew of One, Bentos describes what compels him to troll solo a hundred miles offshore hoping for the strike of the fish called "the apex of deep-sea fishing." Through one man's extraordinary experiences of solitary adventuring, this oceanic A River Runs Through It offers a new way of looking at fishing, at self-reliance, and at the mystique of being alone at sea. ,.,.
