About this listen

Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Book Award, Indian Creek Chronicles is Pete Fromm's account of seven winter months spent alone in a tent in Idaho guarding salmon eggs and coming face to face with the blunt realities of life as a contemporary mountain man. A gripping story of adventure and a modern-day Walden, this contemporary classic established Fromm as one of the West's premier voices.

This book was an entertaining read. I wish I had the guts to “put myself out there.” I enjoyed the book very much.

A Book about putting yourself out there....

This was an absolute joy to listen to on Audible. Like taking a vacation in my mind. This college student, with almost NO self-awareness, blunders into an unlikely adventure in the wilderness. He determines to make the most of it, and becomes a man in the process. Outstanding writing!

A very humble, but beautiful “On Walden Pond”

I liked the story very much. A nice mix of humor and adventure. The young spirit of a young man in the adventure of a lifetime that is at the beginning of his lifetime really.

A good adventure

I was interested in the story, and listened as I drove up the Clear Water river to Missoula. I was not too stoked on the ending but very relevant and telling.

Good story that keeps a nice pace

I liked the book. Worth the money. Makes one want to move into the mountains.

Good story...

as a person who's done multiple excursions into the High Country it made me want to go back.

Great book!

As a hunter and a Montanan, I felt this was a bit of fiction, as opposed to a real mountain-man story. On the whole I enjoyed the tale. But this was not a dog-lover ( the whole dog element seemed tacked on), the idea of a game warden allowing unlawful hunting and not issuing a license on the spot unrealistic, and the bobcat story was illogical. It didn’t ring true to me.

Good story but lots of holes

Grew up on this book. Have read it 6 times. Just makes you feel great!

Amazing!

I love this book, it teaches the importance of viewing nature in all its beauty.

"Full of ineffable wonder"

What a thrilling, terrifying, exhilarating look at how loneliness becomes aloneness, finally becoming aliveness. Highly recommended for armchair adventurers.

Is the wilderness and the vastness only in our minds?
