Summary: Today I discuss one of the favorite books of my youth along with various survival/preparedness elements imbedded in this great book. My Side of the Mountain was first published in 1959 but still possesses the ability to entrance readers both young and old with the idea of "heading for the hills to live off the land" as I discussed on Tuesday's episode. I have yet to find a better book to introduce young readers to the idea of self-reliance/self-sufficiency and as you'll hear I really enjoy talking about this particular book.
