Summary:

Crowe's chronicle of a time when, for four years, he survived by his own hand without electricity, plumbing, modern-day transportation, or regular income. It is a Walden for today, paced to nature's rhythms and filled with a wisdom one gains only through the pursuit of a consciously simple, spiritual, environmentally responsible life.
