Synopsis

In a roundabout way, the Lost Whole Moose has come to represent the exploration of all that is really enjoyable about living in the Yukon--it's delights and challenges as well as its hardships. The Lost Moose is really a kind of quest, and includes the discoveries that people make along the way. It is the search for the perfect northern lifestyle. As legend has it, the search takes people down many paths. Some have been here seemingly forever. Others start by spending just a winter, learning to deal with the cold and heating with wood. They may become fascinated with the northern lights, find enjoyment in going for walks at 40 below and start thinking about building a place of their own someday. Then it's the summertime exploration of rivers and forest, reveling 'neath the midnight sun, trying to get a piece of land and learning about land claims and politics. Along the way learning bush crafts and skills needed to cope with town life. As the revelations continue, people are exposed to the many styles of life which are available in this land, including the relaxed practice of horizontal living. As horizontalists, whether full-time, part-time or just sometimes, they learn to enjoy a state of bliss with this life and this land.

Experience (and legend) tells us this land is not for everyone; many people arrive and many leave. But for those who like what is here, it seems they keep on liking it. Their search for their Lost Moose, as legend would have it, is still in progress, and that's what this book is all about.

About this title

From the Back Cover

So here you are north of 60 and it's 40 below and you still can't find that lost moose so what do you do? Have a sauna of course and inside it's 60 above (celsius that is) which means if you go outside it'll be a difference of 100 degrees, and that doesn't happen just every day though it can be a lot more often than once in a blue moon; but it's pretty special when it's New Year's Eve and it's midnight and it's a blue moon too. Which just goes to show you one of the many wonderous things which can happen to you along the trail in search of the elusive lost whole mooe.
