Did you ever think to yourself “fuck this shit! I’m checking out of society…”? Well, this fucker up in Maine did, and he checked out for 27 years until he got caught. he basically set up camp in the woods not far from some cabins around a lake. To get by he stole food and fuel from the nearby cabins. He kinda freaked out the locals, because not one ever saw him.
Eventually he was caught in the act and went to jail for a short period of time. He just couldn’t handle society. The sad thing is that the author has now made this guy the most popular man in Maine, and it wouldn’t surprise me if someone makes a movie out of this.
I basically told you the majority of the book, but it’s an interesting story and a fast read if you want to delve a little deeper.
I’m calling it now. Tom Hanks is … The Stranger in the Woods.
And added to my wishlist. Thanks, bastard!
Dropping out sounds nice, but I wouldn’t do it in Maine. I’d do it somewhere that I could be nude most of the time. Otherwise, what’s the point?
I remember when the initial story came out in the New York Times.
Fascinating.
Ooh, thanks!
