"I heartily recommend [A Cabin in the Forest] to anyone who is either seriously trying to live off-grid, dreaming of maybe one day living off-grid, or would simply like to read about those who have the same exceptional pioneer spirit our hearty forefathers had that were instrumental in developing the greatest experiment in self-governance called America. [The author's] grit and perseverance, melding with her knowledge of the science necessary to create independence from the wants of society, while living in harmony with mother nature (as long as mother nature agrees), is simply remarkable." —Francesco Ricci III, PhD, ChT
