"Hunters of the Northern Forest" might be my favorite book. First read it while in college in Maine and got to dreaming about moving to the Alaska interior. About two decades later I had the chance to spend some time trapping near Chalkyitsik with a friend on his line. Incredible experience, and had me second guessing my career choices a bit :-) Just started re-reading my copy the other night......for probably the fifth time or so.

"Make Prayers to the Raven" is a pretty good Nelson book as well.
