His book was pretty good. He seems to own up to some of his earlier mistakes in the book and did not seem the villian that some tried to make him.

Seemed like the canyonereing that he was doing when he got pinned by that boulder was pretty tame considering his fitness level and experience. Just one of those things you have to accept if you want to live free in the outdoors.

I want to go find his hand & auction it off at Sotheby's.

It would be pretty tweaked if he had the hand in a jar of formaldihide on the mantle....
