Jason Highcamp is a true original: an Alaskan homesteader who built and is living on a working remote homestead, still living on the edge at the age of 66. Jason has literally carved out a life of adventure and security over twenty-five years in remote Alaska. He lives today in the log cabin he built from his land, without running water or "modern conveniences."
You can hear an interview with Jason on Dog Works radio at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dogrorks/2014/05/12/mushing-radio-presents-jason-highcamp-1
Jade Murphy is an author, editor and artist who lives off the grid, in a very un-modern cabin, in Fox, Alaska.
Between them, Jason and Jade have over 60 years Alaskan bush experience, living with bare essentials. They both believe in a minimalistic, self-reliant lifestyle.
This is essentially the story of the building of a remote Alaskan homestead. But, at a deeper level, it is about the growth and development of one man. And it is a book of philosophical tidbits sure to make you think.
From the book has come the motto:
"Build a dream...
And let the Dream build you."
We believe this is true. Our wish for you is that you discover your own dream.
Jason and Jade
