I am 16 and live alone in the wilderness 402.4 I live alone on the Isle of Skye in a tipi almost impossible to find without detailed directions. It might seem unusual for someone of sixteen, but I love my own company and I'm passionate about preserving wild spaces. I grew up with my mum, Ghillie, and older s sister, Yazzie, in a remote and sometimes inaccessible home in the Scottish mountains, using cross-country skis to drag food and supplies to the house. Mum, a cookbook writer, taught us about possible dangers and how to cope with them, then let us run wild from an early age. I spent so much time with tribes who rely on the land that 40 this became second nature to me. When I gained a place at the School of Adventure Studies on the Isle of Skye last year, I decided to live in a tipi, practising what I preach. I sleep on an ancient canvas camp bed my grandfather gave me, is with two old army blankets and some skins I tanned myself for warmth. I have an open fire and spend my evenings tanning animal and fish skins, and carving wood. I store clothes and books in an old metal trunk of my mum's - it's covered in stickers from her travels. I wash my clothes in the river and dry them in the wind or in the heat from the fire. I have a bush shower using water from the river. | Focus 4. Second Edition. Student's Book | 6/41
