    I thought that Ted Unabomber might be a fan, but he's not listed.

    An interesting video documentary. "Roughing it"

    Good reply, Dave. No doubt what you say is true about the different lifestyles leading to an overall very different perspective. Personally, I become somewhat lonely when I need to be in the big city for more than a day or two, particularly Tokyo, which has a population of something like 12...

    An interesting video documentary. "Roughing it"

    Not exactly clear on what is meant here by "luxuries", but I think of city life as just being a different reality. I think that having street smarts isn't so different from the guy in the boonies who needs to understand his environment to better survive. It can be much the same when there are...

    He seemed to really enjoy having the video crew out there visiting, kind of excited to have some new people to talk to. That is a far contrast from some weirdos who live out in the remote and are paranoid of people. Do those skins he gets bring good money? Wonder what a bear skin will be...

Then the time came and they made the hurried preparations and went rushing out to meet the problem head on, some fear in the...

    Perhaps, but he did say that it was interest that caused him to first go out there when he was 19. Apparently, he is still interested.

    An interesting video documentary. "Roughing it"

    I don't think that it matters that the place is so isolated, the reason behind living there for the man is that he gets a message for himself by doing it. It is said that everybody is looking for something, I would assume that he finds it out there....his place. There must be something...

    An interesting video documentary. "Roughing it"

    I could feel something very strong about the woman's spirit. Perhaps it was her matter of factness about the way they live, her originally being from the far north himself. Her husband is just a crazy nut, but I agree with Dylan, a very commendable one. He sure took care of the intruder. I...

    An interesting video documentary. "Roughing it"

    Thanks for posting that, I really enjoyed it. That bear had some bad looking teeth. The idea of self sufficiency is appealing, hard to say without trying, but I could like that lifestyle, I think. When I go outside at night I prefer absolute darkness, seeing lights is a downer. I guess you...
