"Prologue
What follows is an accurate accounting, at least in my mind, of the days when I lived a dream—a boy's dream of innocence and wonder—as a grown man on a journey to fully experience his raw, natural world away from the complications and spoilage of modern civilization. Little did I know how such a simple quest would test me and em-battle the beliefs I embraced at the very core of myself.
This is a journey into a piece of American wild land, into a way of living so many mastered and so many others fell before. It's a memoir, an expedition into the soul of a single life.
This is not a step-by-step on how to create an off-grid wilderness life. Still, the details included and the challenges confronted present considerable information I hope others will find helpful."
