Reviews
"Life Lived Wild is a love story. Rick's love for Jennifer and his children, for the Do Boys, for Kris, for his lost friend Jonathan Wright and Wright's daughter Asia, for the mountains, the chiru, the young adventurers coming up, permeates the book. Get this book and pass it around. Perhaps even adopt the philosophy of the Do Boys, to not just talk about doing stuff, but to do it for oneself and the world, especially the wild world." -- National Parks Traveler, "Complemented by stunning photographs, Life Lived Wild is a high-octane adventurer's memoir that evinces deep respect for people and ecosystems." - Foreword Reviews, Ridgeway (Big Open) delivers a thrilling account of his life spent exploring the far reaches of the globe. -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review, "Complemented by stunning photographs, Life Lived Wild is a high-octane adventurer's memoir that evinces deep respect for people and ecosystems." - Foreword Reviews Book of the Day, October 28, 2021
Synopsis
A life worth living is lived at the edges where it is wild At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild, Adventures at the Edge of the Map , Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he's spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: "And most of that in small tents pitched in the world's most remote regions." It's not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, "to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence." He leaves it to his readers, though, to do the final sort of which is which. Some of his travels made, and remain, news: the first American ascent of K2; the first direct coast-to-coast traverse of Borneo; the first crossing on foot of a 300-mile corner of Tibet so remote no outsider had ever seen it. Big as these trips were, Rick keeps an eye out for the quiet surprises, like the butterflies he encounters at 23,000 feet on K2 or the furtive silhouettes of wild-eared pheasants in Tibet. What really comes through best in Life Lived Wild , though, are his fellow travelers. There's Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, and Doug Tompkins, best known for cofounding The North Face but better remembered for his conservation throughout South America. Some companions don't make the return journey. Rick treats them all with candor and straightforward tenderness. And through their commitments to protecting the wild places they shared, he discovers his own. A master storyteller, this long-awaited memoir is the book end to Ridgeway's impressive list of publications, including Seven Summits (Grand Central Publishing, 1988), The Shadow of Kilmanjaro (Holt, 1999), and The Big Open (National Geographic, 2005).
