What a strange guy, and he looks a hell of a lot older than he is. He must not have ever tried breaking into a home with a big dog or two.

He'd probably say the same about you after reading an article about your life choices.
Gotta love perspective

Forget the loneliness, just the practical matter of surviving 27 winters up there with no fire and only a small Coleman camp stove for heat is an incredible achievement.
When it gets cold enough there is no arctic rated sleeping bag that truly keeps you warm, you can pile on 100 blankets and it still wont be enough... the guy had some amazing willpower. And when you read the things he had to say about all of it, he really doesnt strike me as crazy at all... just so sick of society and its inanities and its pressures that he'd rather suffer through those winters than deal with people ever again. |

Even the cops working his case believe him when he says that. Its not to put him out there as a hero in the truest sense, but outside of the thievery... theres something strangely admirable about his choices and determination to see them through to the end. |

the only way he could see his choices through is from someone else's work. **** that. there is no honor in that, might as well have been sitting on his ass on welfare. the people that lived around him were his case workers. you want to be gone? go out and build you something for yourself. this guy stole the land he was on and everything he had and ate for almost 30 years. too lazy to even try to hunt for anything... \ the more i think about it the more im like "**** that guy" |
