Becoming Wild tells the story of Nikki Van Schyndel's search for life in the wilderness of the Broughton Archipelago north of Vancouver Island with her friend, Micah. She prepared with wilderness courses, reading, and experimenting with a life in the wild but the realities of being in the wilderness, hunting, fishing, beachcombing, scavenging in the woods and on the beaches and on the ocean, scrounging for materials for tools led her to become what she both wanted and needed to be to survive in an incredibly beautiful but nevertheless harsh environment. If you love nature, or even the idea of nature, read this book.
