Books, movies, series and more about primitive living and skills
Russ:
theres also the fiction book trilogy "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George. Not exactly real life but the books are a VERY good read
bjrogg:
I read My side of the Mountain when I was in middle school close to fifty years ago. I don't remember the whole story but I do remember liking it.
I'm not sure it's what your looking for, but one of my all time favorite books is "Centennial". I couldn't put it down.
My Aunt also gave me one. I can't remember the exact title. I think it was something like "Land Barons " it was about a very small group of settlers in the Appalachian mountains.
For a fun read. "Where the Red Firn Grows"
