    Found on the web at Sixbear's blog.

    As a young man in his 20's, Christopher Knight drove away from society leaving the keys in his car at the end of a trail, and lived for a quarter century in the Maine woods, eking out an existence stealing from his neighbors, surviving the brutal sub -zero winters barely with no heat source.

    This is a good read, I recommend reading Sixbear's take on the situation first.

    Long time lurker here, and I have noticed many posts here from people wanting to drop out of society.

    This guy did just that.

    Fantastic. Teary-eyed and laughing. Halfway through and don't want the story to end. Ever.

    Thanks for sharing it.

    Hmm. Found a couple of things that make me want to note points but I'll refrain. Except, September 2014 hasn't happened yet. Other stuff, I'll just zip it.
