“The skill and fortitude Timber showed on Alone made it clear that the foundations for his success go much deeper than what we were able to see on the show. This book is an exploration of the experiences, priorities, and values that go into forging not just raw skills but a deep character that can thrive in the midst of chaos.”
-Jordan Jonas. Winner, Alone Season 6
What’s the book about?
This gripping true account from Timber Cleghorn takes you around the world on thrilling adventures and dangerous humanitarian aid missions. From climbing unnamed mountain peaks in Asia, dodging missiles in Ukraine, and befriending warlords in Afghanistan, Timber’s life will challenge and thrill you.
Raised on a remote farm with no modern conveniences, Timber grew up as if from another century. After farming with horses and hunting for food, the modern world came as a shock to him.
Now as Timber embarks on a massive survival challenge above the arctic circle, he feels confident in his skills, but will his heart carry him through the isolation, darkness, and bone-chilling cold?
In Memoir of a Wildman, Timber tells his story for the first time; a story of faith, fear, adventure, turmoil, and unimaginable happenstances. Every story is related through the lens of surviving 83 days on Alone: Arctic Circle.

“The cold is razor-edged. After two days of intense wind, the sky is perfectly clear again, and the open atmosphere releases any latent warmth from the landscape. The stab of winter drives deeper than I’ve ever felt it.
This temperature drop is the real deal. It’s what I’ve been waiting on. I have no idea what the actual degree reading is, but I know for sure that it’s far below zero. My breath freezes in my whiskers instantly; just minutes outside covers my face with a thick white mask of ice. Frostbite has nipped my feet in two tiny spots. I have to be careful with every act and with every piece of gear. I need to keep my life-support systems of fire and hydration in flawless condition. But I’m happy. If I make it through this cold snap, I’ll be able to say that I’ve done Alone. I’ve survived the Arctic.”
