A book about living off the land for a year.

The author decided to live entirely off natural produce (animals he could kill, stuff growing on his farm) for a year.

This was pretty hard work, and he is quite a good, if eccentric, writer.

There is a South American tribe with no abstract concepts in their language, because obtaining food is such hard work.
