Alone on Purpose: Adventures of a 21st Century Mountain Man - Paperback

by Patrick Taylor (Author)

"Alone on Purpose" is the true story of retired tech exec Pat Taylor's adventure in hermitage. He literally walked away from civilization to live alone in the largest wilderness in the Lower 48... isolated in an icy world without electricity or running water. His inspiring memoir is for everyone that ever felt like writing a new chapter in their lives.

This book (taken from his journals during that winter alone) achieved #1 Bestseller status in THREE Amazon categories: Solo Travel, Extreme Sports, & Winter Sports. Taylor's adventures are characterized by their authenticity & daring - living alone in the Frank Church Wilderness during winter, working as a backcountry packer, & engaging with nature in ways that reject the polished veneer of scripted 'reality' entertainment. The memoirs that comprise his 'Real-life Adventures of the Texas Yeti' series have collectively earned 11 Kindle #1 Bestseller spots across six Amazon categories. Each narrative draws from his personal journals, offering readers a raw, introspective look at his experiences & the lessons they've taught him about life, purpose, & resilience.

The antipode of Walter Mitty, Taylor actually lives the different lives he imagines.
