Riding the Wild Side of Denali: Alaska Adventures with Horses and Huskies

This is a great book. I read it years ago, bought a copy because I wanted to re-read it and have one for myself. ( I like to re-read old favourites) This is a true life story about the lives and adventures of Miki and Julie Collins in the wilderness of Alaska. They write about thier lives with sled dogs, Icelandic Horses, hunting, trapping, gardening, and other day to day experiences of living off- grid. I found it an interesting book.

What a fun read. A real throwback to subsistence living with a little time left over for fun.

This was such a great book, I could not put it down! I learned so much and was able to relate to the characters very well. I highly recommend this book!

What a great account of bush life with the Alaskan trapline twins. Their adventures are always fun to read! The icelandic horses are new to their adventures. Their sled dog adventures sound incredible! Really enjoyed this book. The Collins sisters are great writers, filling the pages with humor.

This book, and there first one, are full of the details of living a self sufficient life style. The adventures they embark on are so fun to read. If you like to read about Alaskan life, this has what your looking for.

Very interesting book. Really tells the ture hardships of living in alaska. Lots of dangers. The twins are amazing women.

One of the best, most interesting books I have ever read. Checked it out from thelibrary, then bought it so I could pass it around to family and friends.

I have bought five copies. This book is a must for horse owners, especially prospective owners looking for a real cool horse - insert "Icelandic"

Bought this for a young friend who is both a vet and owner of Icelandic Ponies. This story is a mad take on both ponies and living in the wild Alaskan countryside. It is an incredible story. Not brilliant prose, but the pace and adventure keeps you reading. As it is quite difficult to find interesting books about ponies that rise above the "My Little Pony" or "riding school for posh gels" genres, I do recommend this as worth a look.
