Under the open skies : a practical guide to living close to nature
Torgeby, Markus, 1976-2020
Book
'Under the Open Skies' combines escapism and adventure with a love of nature and the desire for a simpler life. Twenty years ago, Markus Torgeby traded his hectic urban lifestyle for a small hut in the forests of northern Sweden. He ended up living there for four years, in perfect solitude and in harmony with nature. Today, he and his wife Frida and their three children live in a house he built with his own hands, near the site where he once survived on nothing but oatmeal, river water and the forest's own pantry. This is the story of Markus's journey from broken youth, to living alone in the forest, to a self-healed family man.
