"Opinionated and iconoclastic, Petersen writes with humor and a well-honed craft that will delight fans of Edward Abbey." --Library Journal (starred review)

Twenty-five years ago David Petersen and his wife, Caroline, pulled up stakes, trading Laguna Beach, California, for a snug hand-built cabin in the wilderness. Today he knows that mountain land as intimately as anyone can know his home.
Petersen conflates a quarter century into the adventures of four high-country seasons, tracking the rigors of survival from the snowmelt that announces the arrival of spring to the decline and death of autumn and winter that will establish the fertile ground needed for next year's rebirth.
In the past we listened to Henry David Thoreau or Aldo Leopold; today it is Petersen's turn. His observations are lyrical, scientific, and from the heart. He reinforces Thoreau's dictum: "in wildness is the preservation of the earth." In prose rich with mystery and soul, his words are a plea for the survival of the remnant wilderness.

"Many of us would like to live a life of greater intention and simplicity, but few can and even fewer do. David Petersen is one of those rare human beings among us who lives a wild life with a cultured mind . . . He] has created a map all of us can follow."--Terry Tempest Williams, author of The Open Space of Democracy

Product review from a teenage girl
Has helped my fungal acne very well and has calmed down my breakouts I get monthly. There’s no scent and it feels very soft in the skin. Easy to rinse off and easy to use. Helps out my dry skin and makes me feel smooth after using.

Gentle and non-greasy cleanser.
Gentle on mature skin. No fragrance. Non-greasy. This is my double cleanser to remove makeup and this first step gets my face make up free and feels very clean.

Game changer
I use this cleanser with the other cleanser they have, the green one. It’s actually crazy how much it changed my skin routine. I didn’t change my products and only my cleansers and there was a huge improvement. Using them both together feels very nice, there is literally a slight glow on my face after i’m done washing it. The cleanser itself is an oil and helps get my makeup off well. My face is usually oily but my t-zone can be a bit dry, these combined helped my face go back to a “normal” balance. So happy with my purchase, definitely recommend.

Removes Makeup Well
Removes makeup well, and doesn't leave the skin too oily. Didn't cause me breakouts. Just clean skin. However, if you have sensitive eyes and skin, avoid the eye area. I had burning and discomfort around the eyes

One of the Best Cleansing Oils I’ve Used — Gentle, Effective, and Never Greasy
I’m 52 and post-menopausal, with dry, increasingly sensitive skin, and I’ve used a lot of cleansing oils over the years—especially from Korean brands. Some are too heavy, some don’t rinse cleanly, and some leave a film that makes me want to wash my face again immediately. This Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is one of the few that gets everything right. The texture is beautiful. It’s lightweight and fluid, not thick or overly oily, so it spreads easily across the skin without feeling heavy. It has enough slip to break down makeup and sunscreen quickly, but it doesn’t feel like it’s sitting on top of the skin. What really stands out is how well it emulsifies and rinses clean. As soon as you add water, it turns into a soft, milky consistency and washes away completely. There’s no greasy residue left behind, and my skin feels clean and balanced—not coated or stripped. It removes everything easily, including sunscreen and makeup, without needing to rub or tug at the skin. That’s especially important for me because I’m careful about how much friction I use on my face now. Even though it’s marketed for pore control, it doesn’t feel harsh or drying at all. The heartleaf gives it that calming, skin-friendly feel, and my skin always feels comfortable after using it. No tightness, no irritation—just clean, soft skin. I also like that it works beautifully as part of a double cleanse. It does the heavy lifting in the first step, and then I can follow with a gentle cleanser without feeling like I’m over-cleansing. Another thing worth mentioning is the value. The bottle is a good size, and you only need one or two pumps per use, so it lasts. For the performance you get, it feels like a very solid purchase. Overall, this is an exceptionally well-balanced cleansing oil—effective enough to remove everything, but gentle enough for dry, mature skin. It leaves the skin clean, calm, and comfortable, which is exactly what I want from a first cleanse. This is one of those products that quietly earns a permanent place in the routine because it just works.
