Alone in the Wilderness
SavannahLion:
I can't view the video for some reason and I haven't been home yet. I've just been going off of what I can read and I clearly missed that bit.
I would have to point out he probably wussed out though. :P I have an old newspaper article about my father, and long ass story short, it tells of how my father carried a claw-foot bathtub into the mountains so he could enjoy a nice relaxing hot bath at camp. I've gone on that hike (traveling light) and to the campsite and I can't quite fathom the logistics behind hauling a steel tub on a days hike with all the required necessities, such as tools,food, and shelter, up, around, and down a freaking mountain.
If I wasn't such an ---uvula--- in my youth I probably would've had the forethought to ask him how he pulled it off before his passing.
SavannahLion:
And, there's the ---uvula--- of youth.

The video is only like 10% of the documentary anyway. It's worth getting and watching the whole thing. That dude must have had some longass cold winters but stayed there for decades until his body finally would no longer allow it in his old age.

This video kinda sucks compared the the original. It's very condensed and sometimes the narration isn't paired correctly.
I only posted it to give an idea of what the documentary is like.
He lived in the cabin for 30 years, until he was 82.

There are introverts and there are extroverts. If he lived there for 30 years then regretted it, that's one thing... and sad. But if he enjoyed himself, then it's awesome.
I couldn't do it for 30 years but I could easily say FTW for a few months... :lol
