I'm not aware of a “code”, but if you ever read the original Mother Earth News, you might recall the back to the land thing, a self suffientcy movement, similar to elements of the survivalist/prepper movement that emerged from that era, the Jesus movement came from that time as well, a wonderful Christian revival.

The old Mother Earth News was about how to rediscover doing and making things yourself, it was not political, and it included guns.

And don’t forget the Whole Earth Catalog. I still have a couple of copies of it. Collector’s items by now. Buckminster Fuller, et al.
