Story
At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild: Adventures at the Edge of the Map, Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he’s spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: “And most of that in small tents pitched in the world’s most remote regions.” It’s not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, “to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence.” He leaves it to his listeners to do the final sort of which is which.

What’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, as New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.

Traverspine is not a place you will find on most maps. A century ago, it stood near the foothills of the remote Mealy Mountains in central Labrador. Today it is an abandoned ghost town, almost all trace of it swallowed up by dark spruce woods that cloak millions of acres. In the early 1900s, this isolated little settlement was the scene of an extraordinary haunting by large creatures none could identify. Strange tracks were found in the woods. Unearthly cries were heard in the night. Sled dogs went missing.

Publisher's Summary
A page-turning memoir about a young woman's grueling, revelatory summers working alone in a remote lookout tower and her eyewitness account of the increasingly unpredictable nature of wildfire in the Canadian north.
While growing up in Peace River, Alberta, Trina Moyles heard many stories of Lookout Observers--strange, eccentric types who spent five-month summers alone, climbing 100-foot high towers and watching for signs of fire in the surrounding boreal forest. How could you isolate yourself for that long? she wondered. "I could never do it," she told herself.
Craving a deeper sense of purpose, she left northern Alberta to pursue a decade-long career in global humanitarian work. After three years in East Africa, and newly engaged, Trina returned to Peace River with a plan to sponsor her fiance, Akello's, immigration to Canada. Despite her fear of being alone in the woods, she applied for a seasonal lookout position and got the job.
Thus begins Trina's first summer as one of a handful of lookouts scattered throughout Alberta, with only a farm dog, Holly--labeled "a domesticated wolf" by her former owners--to keep her company. While searching for smoke, Trina unravels under the pressure of a long-distance relationship--and a dawning awareness of the environmental crisis that climate change is producing in the boreal. Through megafires, lightning storms, and stunning encounters with wildlife, she learns to survive at the fire tower by forging deep connections with nature and with an extraordinary community of people dedicated to wildfire detection and combat. In isolation, she discovers a kind of self-awareness--and freedom--that only solitude can deliver.
Lookout is a riveting story of loss, transformation, and belonging to oneself, layered with an eyewitness account of the destructive and regenerative power of wildfire in our northern forests.
What the critics say
WINNER OF THE 2021 NATIONAL OUTDOOR BOOK AWARDS IN THE OUTDOOR LITERATURE CATEGORY
FINALIST FOR THE ROBERT KROETSCH CITY OF EDMONTON BOOK PRIZE
FINALIST FOR THE ALBERTA LITERARY AWARDS (MEMOIR)
“Moyles tells a totally engrossing story of fear and love, self-recrimination and healing, by turns vivid with memory and presence. Page after page, I felt immersed in the rejuvenating wonders of the natural world, rendered here in all their magnificent, everchanging detail. Reader, you will roar through this book.” (Charlotte Gill, author of Eating Dirt: Deep Forests, Big Timber, and Life with the Tree-Planting Tribe)
“Trina Moyles has written a beautiful, closely observed love letter to the boreal forest and the wilderness of northern Canada at a time when it is threatened by unprecedented change. But Lookout is more than that: it's also a powerful, unforgettable story about the ways that solitude in nature can break us down, and then put us back together again.” (Eva Holland, author of Nerve: A Personal Journey Through the Science of Fear)
“A vital and howling missive of a book. Lookout holds the wide wisdom and fierce beauty of the boreal forest it depicts. Trina Moyles has spent several seasons sitting in the fire, looking into the heat of love, death and regenerated life; experiencing solitude as intensifying tincture. She writes as a wild and erudite witness, bursting with hunger and feral passion for the living world.” (Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation)

I didn't want it to end
I learned so much and got so involved in this story. I found myself wondering about things when not listening. The story about her various romances were beautifully intertwined with the story of the fire tower. I hope she releases a book about her African experience as well.

Binge-Listened, will-do every season I reckon
I so enjoyed immersing myself in this audiobook. This book should be on the shelf at every lookout and in every headset but also an absolute must for anyone who is connected to the Lookouts world in a more peripheral manner. If you want to be a lookout, this book could also help prepare you a bit. The journey the writer weaves is Sweet/sorrowful, mellow/exasperating, scientific/mystical, comical/emotional, romantic/heartbreaking. It was such a great listen!! I liked the ebb and flow between the authors life as a lookout, life in the off season relating to the lookout and then all of the references to various wildfires in Alberta and the world. this is a really well done memoir that I will come back to season after season.

Fabulous, I won’t forget Moyles voice or words
Lookout is a deeply touching and insightful, book. On one hand a heart aching description of the ups and downs of figuring out who we are, but also a detailed, stunning picture of life as a fire lookout in Canada’s north, the frightening reality of wild fires and their increasing impact with a warming climate and the importance and value of being deeply connected to nature. Trina writes beautifully, with incredible honesty and humour. This book reached me in so many ways and it will stay with me for a very long time. I loved that we get to listen to her voice, she does a fantastic job making it absolutely authentic - she is a funny, thoughtful and incredibly brave soul that I hope will keep writing. We need her books, Women Who Dig was very different but also very well done.

Achingly beautiful memoir
Lookout is on the surface a memoir of of troubled soul seeking solace and space by accepting a job as a fire tower lookout deep in the northern boreal forest. It is however so much more than that. With brutal honesty Moyles examines the triumphs and struggles in her life while at the same time giving us insight into the amazing ecosystem she so carefully observed and patrolled for wildfires. An ecosystem at increasing risk due to climate change and human encroachment.
Through that lens, she turns a keen eye to themes of love, loss, isolation, solitude and ultimately meaning and healing. This is a book that will stay with me for a long time.
Read by the author whose meditative voice strikes just the right note for her poetic prose. A welcome addition to the pantheon of the best of Canadian wildlife literature.

Feeling every line deep in my bone!
I first saw this book in a Save On Food book section. Decided to give the audiobook a go while I was on the road solo for an extended period of time. Near the end of the book, I find myself wishing it's never going to end because I haven't had enough. Although not watching for smokes up in the tower, I find many similarities from my life in her story. The solitude, the ever-growing connection with nature and the inner world, the struggle of reopening the heart to the world of human connection...
Having experienced bushfires (Australia) and wildfires (BC) firsthand, I've grown an interest in wildland firefighting-related topics. However, this book gives a whole new level of humanity. The struggle of cross-country love, the difficult decision, isolation and punishment, the slow aching progress of being able to open up again, eventually finding calmness and confidence up in the tower.
It's refreshing to see a book about Canadian fire. Many mentioned were close to home and I still have memories of. Especially exciting to hear it from a female perspective. I love how Trina read it herself - we've heard way too many good books with good stories ruined by a monotoned narrator. Her voice was so calming and engaging. The tone shows the excitement, embarrassment, upsetness, joy, and basically all spectrum of emotion spot on!
After finishing the audiobook, I've placed an order on Amazon for a hard copy. It deserves at least a couple more times sit-down read while I'm alone.
