review 1: The journey McKittrick and her husband take from Seattle to the Aleutian Islands, all without motors, is fascinating. While her narration style is pretty cut and dry, simply reporting what they did and saw without flourishes, I appreciated that she didn't stretch each hardship into pages of hard to follow details that many nature adventure writers do. I learned some about (the sad state of) Canadian forestry politics, and the Alaskan coastline. Not the most entertaining book I've read lately, but somewhat interesting and definitely inspiring.
review 2: I was first introduced to McKittrick while reading an article in NYT's Home and Garden section. It featured their yurt in Soldovia, Alaska. The Article was titled "Broadband, Yes. Toilet, No." It featured Eri... moren McKittrick, her husband and their infant son. It was a fun article and mentioned the book Erin just wrote about their 4,000 mile trek from Seattle to Alaska. Their walk/paddle/ski trip took just over a year. It is an incredible adventure. I can't imagine walking for a year through the winter! They did it though and plan on taking more journeys like it. The hard part to read was the destruction of the environment everywhere they went. Logging and mining have destroyed the most pristine and remote places. less
