About this Item

In the spirng of 2001, the author packed a grubstake, a vanload of hand tools and mostly-scrounged building supplies and scraps and went deep into the woods on tribal land in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Pitching a tent to tide him over, he arduously began a task that would take the next 15 months of his life -- building a log cabin. An intiguing narrative of self-reliance and rugged individualism that hasn't yet vanished entirely from the American landscape. Both a journal and a guidebook for making your own retreat. 189 pages. Illustrations. Terrific copy.
