If you are on Adventure Riders forum then you know about this man & this book...and even if you have no interest in moto travel this book is worth every bit of time you spend reading the griping story of survival and endurance regardless of hardship.
All 380 pages are a hoot and while I might not like some of his thoughts, I gotta respect the man.
The money goes to cover the admin cost of running Disabled Explorers and I will toss in free UPS ground shipping.
Here is the publishers description to tease you:
Ripped from his motorcycle by Colombian rebels and robbed of everything, adventure motorcyclist Glen Heggstad journeyed through South America, and the trip became a nightmare as he was forced to march through strange jungles carrying heavy equipment with assault rifles at his back. Even with all the hand-to-hand and sophisticated combat training Heggstad possessed, this chronicle shows that it was his shrewd thinking, precise planning, and a “do-or-die” last act of desperation that eventually secured his freedom. The shocking personal tale of an unimaginable journey through Central and South America, this travelogue details one man's capture by Colombia's rebel National Liberation Army and the eventual realization of his dream to complete his journey.
