Guy Grieve's life was going nowhere – trapped in a job he hated, commuting 2000 miles a month and up to his neck in debt. For years he dreamed of escaping it all to challenge himself against the elements in one of the wildest, most remote places on Earth.
With his family's support Guy decided to test himself and his dream by living in the Alaskan wilderness for a year. Miles from the nearest human being and armed with only the most basic equipment, he soon found that life in the wilderness was anything but easy – whether building a log cabin from scratch, driving a dog sled, literally treading on thin ice, dealing with the loneliness or even just having a wash without interruption from bears.

Part Ray Mears, part Henry Thoreau and with just a touch of Bill Bryson, Call of the Wild is the inspiring story of how a mild mannered commuter struggled with nature at its most unforgiving and himself, to eventually learn the ways of the world.
