I'm Buck Hansen, just a guy who's had quite an incredible life really, full of adventure. I've spent nearly 25 of my 45 years on this planet working as a Ski Patroller in the winter, and have had every assortment of summer employment you can imagine. From rescuing people off of the mountain, to thousands of miles running rivers, I've mixed all that with every aspect of building. From concrete, to finish work, I am the jack of all trades, master of some. This is the first piece of writing I've ever published, and the writing of it has helped me through a hard time, perhaps if you need some inspiration through a rough stretch, I hope it can help others as well.
