I caught up with Jack McClure while he had good reception on a two month road trip through Utah with his wife and 7 week old daughter. Jack moved to Alaska when he was 21, inspired by the diaries of Dick Proenneke and the strategic life-affirming philosophies of Your Money or Your Life and ERE. He built his own cabin, learned to hunt and dress game, grows his own food, got his pilots license, does adventure races in the Alaskan wilderness, and is growing his family. We talk about all this and more in our conversation.
You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t read Jack’s Blog and, if you want the nearly ten year saga as it unfolds, check out Jack’s journal on the ERE forums that begins in 2013. It’s time well spent.
Here are some pictures from Jack to give you a glimpse of his life.
