My hero

[otherone]

A must read:

Chris became surprisingly introspective. "I did examine myself," he said. "Solitude did increase my perception. But here's the tricky thing—when I applied my increased perception to myself, I lost my identity. With no audience, no one to perform for, I was just there. There was no need to define myself; I became irrelevant. The moon was the minute hand, the seasons the hour hand. I didn't even have a name. I never felt lonely. To put it romantically: I was completely free."

Bump.

This is a good read at least. No hermit wisdom, just a hermit. It shows how much can be done with a little (some of it pilfered, but the labor and the ingenuity, not so much) and lots of freedom.

All of it stolen. He didn't live off the land. He wasn't a survivalist. He stole every single possession he had and everything he ate.
