To be fair, I read this at least 25 years ago. I've never forgotten it and have lately begun reading about wilderness and survival. This is a must read for anyone thinking this is the life they seek. Sadly, Anne LaBastille died of Alzheimer's several years ago.
Excellent read. Really - the cabin had to be moved!!

This is a great book about a woman who moves out into the woods and lives in a secluded cabin, alone. She provides lots of useful information along the way as she tells about her experiences, stuff about how to live safely and comfortably in a cabin without modern conveniences, and what mistakes to avoid.

Originally published in 1976.
I really enjoyed the read, but I save the 5 stars for books that draw lots of emotions from me. Unfortunately, this book did not. Little bit of a dry writing style, but great story line.

This was a nice easy read and was relaxing for me because of the setting.
