I guess the best example I can think of is Chris McCandless
Then there’s the North Pond Hermit of Maine but I suppose people would not classify him as free of mental illness.
Just wondering how many people are out there living in caves, walking around, hiking trails, hopping trains, or living in National Forests full time who really aren’t mentally ill and just choose that lifestyle. What do you think?
train hoppers come to mind.
Thanks for that link! The looks interesting…watching it now. That reminds me of the book Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac. They hop and ride a train up to San Francisco in the beginning of the book.
