In Out, we meet a family of four who decide to cross Norway four times – by bike, by water, on foot and on skis. They pack the bare necessities, fill their backpacks with food, cut the umbilical cord to everyday life and live like vagabonds. Not forever, but long enough for the inherent logic of travel to become normal for a while. Long enough for questions about ourselves and the society we live in to arise. Is it our own biology that makes it so difficult to live sustainably? And is it precisely our biological heritage that saves us from the environmental crisis?
In the book, outdoor life, biology, psychology and philosophy merge into an inspiring declaration of love for the simple life. A separate fact section gives you useful tips on the art of going on a long trip and living a simple and adventurous life – without breaking the planet.
Mikkel Soya Bølstad writes easily and engagingly, and with great knowledge.
