In 1990, while in college, Pete Fromm volunteered to spend seven months at Indian Creek in Idaho to protect two million salmon eggs. He had no real knowledge about living in the wilderness, had no idea how to shoot a gun or tie a knot, but had just read A.B. Guthrie's The Big Sky and wanted to be Boone Caudill. So he bought a dog, named it Boone, and spent the next few months cold, longing for fresh food, and teaching himself the skills he'd so badly wanted to learn. Someone should really put this on the silver screen, but until then, read his story as soon as you can. If you hate the winter and hate thinking about being cold, then just skip ahead to mountain lion scene.MP3: Willie Nelson - Stay All Night (Stay A Little Longer)
