Synopsis
"Lost on Purpose" is the non-fiction adventure narrative of a former technology executive who reinvented himself as a 21st century mountain man. In October/November 2013, Patrick Taylor crossed the Rocky Mountains alone on foot. He passed through one of the largest wilderness areas in the Lower 48 to reach and retrace the route of Lewis & Clark in the winter. The sacrifices - vocationally, financially, emotionally - are measured against the benefits by the author in a refreshingly honest, humorous, and inspirational fashion. If you liked "Wild" (and who didn't), you will love this wilderness adventure., When his business and personal life unraveled, a 58-year old tech exec and former President of Intel's Board of Advisors decided to get lost on purpose. Instead of escaping into drink or drugs, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and attempted a solo trek across the Rocky Mountains. In this true adventure story, the author endeavored to reinvent himself with a most dramatic and unusual course of action. Intrigued by the history of Lewis & Clark, the former Marine decided to retrace their historic route through the rugged and remote mountains of Idaho... alone. A capable alpinist, the amateur adventurer had no sponsorship or experience with anything as extreme as the solo backpacking trip he envisioned. He made plans to navigate the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness to the Lolo Trail, and had to concoct a diet so lean that he could carry enough food in a backpack to last a month until he could reprovision. Taylor was so far off the grid alone that even a relatively minor injury could prove fatal. Moreover, he decided to trek in late fall/early winter. One reviewer says, "I have read multiple books on journeys similar to this, but they never got into the heart and soul of the journeyman. This book addresses not only the struggles with the environment but also with the mind. I'd follow Taylor on any adventure he chooses to write about." This unique adventure memoir is exciting, insightful, and entertaining... and can be finished in a weekend. Order it now and share the adventures of a 21st century mountain man.

- n***7 (310)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseReceived the DVD set as listed, and the used discs are in great shape! I doubt I'll be shopping for new discs much now, with sellers like this one and another I recently bought from, why buy new when the used discs work perfectly? Great price too. Set was mailed promptly, in a padded mailer with tracking. Good seller, will shop again.
- h***1 (191)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook is exactly as described and even better condition. Looks like brand new. Arrived 4 days before promised date, well packaged and perfectly safe. I shopped around and this was, by far, the best price. I highly recommend not only this hilarious book, but also this Ebay seller.
- s***s (11)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe package was shipped here fast, and the CDs were in good condition, but the case got stuck to the pamphlet inside. The seller did tell the truth in saying it was acceptable as was described, and he chose a good price for this, as it is 2 CDs that are almost 15 years old.
