First, Eustace writes, the family should get rid of the television set. Other appliances should then be abandoned, one at a time. Slowly, the family should stop using electricity and start collecting water from streams. Then the family should move into the backyard, in tents. It should begin learning how to grow and hunt its own food. Of course, the house would be there, as a security blanket, but the family would need it less and less. Eventually, when it comes time to move into the woods for good, the family will have already grown accustomed to the lifestyle.

I know lesser men than Eustace Conway (in fact, I only know lesser men than Eustace Conway) who have found marvelous wives, but his zeal is going to be difficult to match.
