On the land he built a small cabin using materials from the land and milling trees by hand. When his wife passed away, Jack effectively left "society" and moved to the cabin full time.

There are very few moments in life when you experience something profound; something that makes you rethink everything. Over the years, I’ve found those who opt for the outdoors as their passion to possess a genuine sense of calm and contentment.
