Who is your favorite mountain man from history?
(hermits and "nature men" are also acceptable)

I always liked Liver Eating Johnson. He sounded pretty badass until I heard of Hugh Glass.

He's featured in the first part of this vidya:

McCandless wasn't anymore free in Alaska then he was when he was at home.

He always had the resources at his disposal to do whatever the fuck he wanted.

Burning his ID and giving away all his money just proved that he didn't realize the opportunities that were already at his door.

He was confined by the expectations society has for the upper middle class graduate of a prestigious university.

Expectation can only confine you if you let them.

Wealth and education are opportunities, he just refused to use them.

Gotta say Dick is pretty badass. Did things smart, made his own permanent shelter, made his tools to make a shelter with. Decided to do it and did it. That's what /out/ is.

Sylvan Hart. Here's an article from Sports Illustrated, 1966.
http://www.si.com/vault/1966/10/03/61064/the-last-of-the-mountain-men
> Soon to be known as Buckskin Bill, he fashioned his own clothes of deernskin. He constructed adobe-covered buildings with hand-hewn timbers. He mined copper, smelted it, refined it and made utensils. He even made his own flintlock rifles, boring them on an ingenious handmade machine, to "save the bother of store-bought ammunition." To pay for infrequent trips to Burgdorf (pop. summer 6, winter 0), where he purchased only powder, books and Darjeeling tea, he panned gold.

Fuuuck. as a kid I wanted to live like John Muir, then I realized I couldn't since the rules for camping are too strict and I could never escape from the people.

Tom Brown Junior. World's greatest tracker and one of the most spiritually and skillfully intense survivalists out there. This man's writing has helped me go places and do things in very special ways, and given me so much perspective on nature.
