That’s sad. The government should have just let him be. When I was younger I tried to convince my wife to go to Alaska and live off the land. I have survival experience, not so much then. She was smart. We probably would have died. After my divorce I got custody of my two boys. Once they grew up and out of the house, I seriously considered moving to Alaska and trying to live off the land. I’m glad I didn’t as now, for whatever reason I am saddled with knee and hip issues. I definitely would have died. But I can empathize with this old guy about getting away from civilization.
