At Wildsam, we have long imagined making an expedition to Alaska for one of our field guides, a high-northern wanderlust that has become the book you hold now. We could not have asked for a better companion for this mission than Xtratuf. Their boots are essentially synonymous with Alaska, built with rugged simplicity and designed to overcome tough working conditions. And, if we may say so, surprisingly stylish–
a statement of purpose. When you go to Alaska, you will see these boots. You may even need them. Wherever this book and your own sense of adventure may lead you, travel safe and journey far.

“Every human lives in nature, but Alaskans really know that truth on an elemental level, as elemental as spying a moose wandering the edge of town or living by the phrase ‘bear aware.’ And that awareness shapes a spirit and a citizenship, almost a big family, way up north.”
