"the Strange & Curious Tale Of The Last True Hermit"

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.

 

What a great story! Thanks for sharing.
