My Side of the Mountain
My Side of the Mountain
Tired of his crowded apartment in New York City, a young boy named Sam Gribley decides he has had enough. Armed with nothing but a penknife, a ball of cord, forty dollars, and some flint and steel, he runs away to the rugged Catskill Mountains. His goal is to find his family's long abandoned farm and live entirely off the land, far away from the comforts of modern civilization.
Surrounded by dense forests and unpredictable weather, Sam must quickly learn how to survive. He builds a home inside a hollow tree, forages for wild food, and even trains a young falcon to help him hunt. But living in the wild is incredibly demanding, and Sam soon discovers that fierce winters and deep loneliness are just as challenging as finding his next meal. Experience the ultimate tale of wilderness survival and discover what it truly takes to carve out your own place in the natural world.
