Sam isolates himself from the outside world and takes up permanent residence in the mountains. It is there that he realizes how much he must depend on himself, and he seeks the knowledge to do so. While he does befriend and place some duties on the wildlife (namely his prized falcon, Frightful), Sam is devoid of human contact for large chunks of time. He hunts, fishes, builds and improves his home, tans hide, and gathers food, mostly alone. Through this, he is able to understand what he is capable of, and also, how lonely it can be when you are truly by yourself. His "silent mountain" is both a peaceful place and, sometimes, a lonely one.
In the city, Sam realizes how much he dislikes the noise and crowding. In the mountains, Sam realizes how lonely it can be to depend entirely on yourself. By the end of the novel, Sam is able to balance these two measures and include his family on the mountain for a contented life. While his family will be building a barn instead of living in his beloved tree, he will still be able to hunt his own food and live off the land and, more importantly, he can do so with people by his side. The mountain will not be as quiet and lonely, but it will still be as self-sustaining and beautiful.
