That's an amazing story I'm off to the library to find out if there's a copy in the uk library system fingers crossed
Film about a visit to see 70 year old Agafia, the last surviving family member who still lives out in the Taiga. (35 mins long) http://www.theactivetimes.com/hard-l...survival-takes
As a newbie - Just found this - amazing and really a beautiful story!
I wonder if it was not famine that truly killed them - but starting to eat in our 'civilised' way that their bodies couldn't handle. To me it seems too much of coincidence that three of them died after discovery. So glad the other two refused to be rehabilitated. Not sure either how easily they actually lived wild - ( says one who only sees the romance of wild living - not the hardship! )
Did you buy the book Jonny? I might look for it myself
This really was a fascinating read. Please not that as another Yorkshireman I was put off by £50 but checked too see if it was cheaper on kindle or whatever. Ouch - it's even more now around £80. No way... Such a shame I would love to read this book.
On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break.

an interesting read to be sure; quite an insight into wild living as a lifestyle. I'm gonna have to hunt a much cheaper edition! Interesting read of the Amazon reviews, I always forget there are still places of huge wilderness in this ever decreasing world of ours!
In addition to highlighting the power of the human spirit to survive incredible hardship, this story also shows the power of knowledge. Having only the combined wisdom that the two adults had when they fled severely limited their options for coping with problems.
