Amazon Customer: This book was so descriptive, poetic, and grounding. I love how the author described his experiences out in the great wilderness, showcasing his adventures, admiring the beautiful creations of the universe, and showing us just how humbling our natural world is. This book describes a sort of coming home, a return to that deep, primal, spiritual longing we all seek, and he describes how nature beckons us back to her, where we can finally be filled. It’s inspired me to get outside more and focus on finding my own way back to my soul and back to the universe by reconnecting with nature. Beautiful book, and I definitely recommend for others like me feeling restless, longing for something, wondering if we can ever find it if we disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life and remove ourselves from the destructive, restrictive, constrictive nature of the manmade society humans have created. This book is a return to our wild roots.

Jenna: I very much enjoyed reading this book. I felt like I was hiking with Scott as I read along. His book has stirred a desire in me to explore the wilderness at a much deeper level than I have yet to experience.

James Hogue: Three years ago I helped a friend move. I drove her car from Atlanta to LA. I had never been out West except for when I was very young and we lived in Alaska. I had only vague memories of snow, moose, snowmobiles, and huskies.
I drove thru north Louisianna in the days after Hurricane Harvey ravaged Houston. The clouds and rain still lingered while convoys of Cajuns passed me while I drove through Shreveport with their trailers loaded down with flat bottom boats, airboats, and off-road vehicles. They were headed to Houston to help.
I stopped for two days in Waco to visit my sister and her family. I gave my nephew and his friends an impromptu basketball clinic at the YMCA.
From there I traveled through northeast Texas to my next stop in Roswell, NM. I began to see the vastness and wide-open space of the West. I was awed by the windmill farms; thousands of giant white windmills over hundred of miles. They stretched above the horizon and beyond. I passed thru Lubbock and saw the small towns of Texas and the prairies.
Passing into New Mexico I saw herds of pronghorn antelope grazing on the same grass as cattle and a landscape I had only seen in cowboy movies. I stayed in...

GJP: I'm sure the author is a wonderful person with the best intentions of sharing his wilderness experiences. Unfortunately that is not what I was expecting given the philosophical-sounding title of the book.
Kept waiting for the deeper insights. Some nice descriptions of certain of my favorite "get lost in" locations but...far too many selfies.
