Do you think there are any homeless people who never use drugs, have no mental illness, but are just sick of society and choose to walk the Earth like Caine in Kung Fu?

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?

Ok, maybe diogenes wasn’t the best example, but still.

  I wonder how he would react to people talking about him 25 or so centuries later. I am betting he would be annoyed.

    That or happy because people actually listened to him.
