One of the many blogs I regularly check out is Deer Camp Blog and today he has a grand adventure story for sure. Many of us dream of living back in the wilderness somewhere and Alaska is for sure the premier destination. He has the story of his brother and family living out that dream, selling everything and moving to the wilds of Alaska.
Folks back home have a lot of questions about Jamie Howell’s decision to leave Oxford and his stockbroking career for the Alaskan wilderness. The main one is: “Why’d you do it?”It’s an easy answer for Howell and his wife, Kecia, and one they don’t regret after 10 years of eating off the land, hunting for a living and raising seven children in a log cabin they built by hand.
Well worth the read so go check out the rest of the story
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, Ill explore new places and ideas Ill learn new things and Ill teach the things Ive learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
Wow! thanks for posting this story. It is an amazing story and a great adventure for him. If you want to hunt there, he and his family will treat you wonderfully. it is a hard and fulfilling hunt. I owe you a story, thanks again.
oh yeah, if you get the chance, email him and tell him about linking his story. He will get a kick out of it and it may lead to something in the future. He will be here (Tunica, MS) in February for the big game convention. think about going if you like hunt grizzly.
anybody interested in a hunt ….. send me an email at jamiehowell@starband.net …… currently looking for bear hunters ( black and/or brown)
thanks for posting the story
I went to Alaska a few years ago and toured around for a number of days. I’d love to go back and I’d love to be able to hunt. The cost of such an endeavor is a huge barrier but who knows maybe I’ll hit the lottery. Thanks for stopping by and don’t be a stranger.
