Bradford Angier did it, and now shows how anyone—even today—can find free or cheap land, build a home, find food, preserve it, keep warm, find employment, and even get a mail-order education out where the land is beautiful, game and fish abound, and man can reduce life to its essentials or live in great comfort on nature’s credit card.
Bradford Angier abandoned a successful career in journalism many years ago to make a different kind of life for himself. In 1971, Angier shared with his generation how to survive and thrive off-grid., with tips and advice still revelent today.
