@Cytacon lol. So how is this sick society affecting you? More people live better than in any time in history. You have your media circus people that may be considered profoundly sick i guess. But then if society is profoundly sick how do you come up with the standard of normal. Since of course you are a product of the society... Nope this guy was a nut bag....
all that choose such life are naturally normal human beings and as such can experience every aspect of life .. for the rest .. hf wasting ur only life in front of tv and/or working for others
We live in our overpriced homes, work our whole lives to make someone else rich while being told what to do the whole time, die in debt up to our eyeballs which our grandchildren will probably end up inheriting and people like this are the ones who are considered crazy?! Yeah that makes sense.
@whitespruce26 this man truly lived free and i will give him props for that it takes guts to do what he did and to live like he did to be living off the land and not be hand fed from a spoon in a old age home
@kyletango He had liquor if I recall. He made his own and people brought it for him all the time. As for the womenz, good riddance I say. More trouble than they worth.
The economy could collapse and it would not effect his life style one bit. true self suffiency at hand, you cant help but to admire what he is made of!!!
His message as all of you know was to "Live Simple." We have all been groomed to grow up and be borrowing consumers. Always in debt until the day we die. Stress is just the BS part of living. We choose to want more and more....When is this madness going to stop? The people of this world are destroying the planet. The time for awakening is fast coming upon us and many are not ready. Get ready. Simplify. Stop going in to debt. Our debt feeds the elite. We are here to LIVE! Let them learn 2 suffer.
@Jumpybeaver Thanks and keep spreading this message and we will have America back. We can still enjoy all the toys and advancements in technology and medicine, but the infrastructure to all this is more that we nations can afford. I appreciate your comment JB!
@ThinkPureTruth I believe the key is moderation. Never take on more than you can afford. There's nothing wrong with having a nice computer, car or whatever. But I say this. Buy one and use it until it's completely used up and can't be fixed any more. A good car could last up to about 30 to 50 years if treated right. Maybe even longer. No need to go out and replace it every year, just so you (Not you, you by the way) can have the latest version of it, and keep with the Joneses.
@ThinkPureTruth But it's the keeping up with the Joneses way of thinking, that is helping plunge people into a life sentence of debt. But we are told things like. "Oh this is how life should be. You NEED this, you NEED that. Because we say you do." No we don't need this and that. The human race survived on the things they really needed and on simple living for millions of years. This current way of life's only been around for about a hundred or so. I think that speaks for itself there.
@Jumpybeaver Hey JB, I appreciate those comments! Do check out James Altucher dot com He is wealthy but has gone full circle and lives simply now. He writes very well and has a pretty good handle on life. He is only 43 now and is in touch with himself. Read the comments people make to him on his subjects. I think you will enjoy it as much as me!! Take care, Art (I'm 56)
If you cannot go 1 hour without using a cell phone or even texting....this kind of life is NOT for you. I think those who have a better chance at making it "off the grid" would be those who naver had a lot to begin with (so they wouldn'y miss it anyway), or those raised in the backwoods, which just points to the first thing I said anyway. I can't picture a yuppie wallstreet type making it out here.
Just a matter of getting enough calories and good quality saturated fat.. I do find a lot of "Off the grid" types to be essentially just hippies. This guy is more then just off the grid, He has no electricity of any kind, and just a kerosene lamp for light it looks like. That seems crazy but its how people lived for a long long time. Building a cabin and living this way isn't as hard as it may seem, if it were people would have done something else.
I think its just a matter of being dissatisfied with our society. I haven't been to the doctors in 6 years. Never so much as a cold since I stopped, the world didn't end. As to the diet, you can eat properly pretty cheap. Whole wheat flower, potatoes and white rice, hunt rabbits and fish, shoot a deer or a moose every now and again and you could have plenty of food. Nothing says you cant hike out and get supplies once in a while.
I have always thought about living off the grid like this guy. Maybe I am just a pussy but the thought of having to pull my own teeth with pliers, wiping my ass with leaves, crust in my bung hole, rotten teeth, not being able to really bathe all winter....I just couldn't hack it
@inkey2 Not like that at all! Tooth decay can be prevented with proper diet, you can wipe your ass with a rag and use water to wash it. its luxurious trust me. No crust this way either. rotten teeth, see tooth decay. You can give yourself sponge baths with water warmed up on a stove.
@aguineapig I am also thinking of all the stories my 87 year old mother told me about the great depression and I imagine alot of people must have lived like this guy. And can you even have a proper diet living like the hermit? I guess today, you have to have a major "off the grid" mentality to do this....it's like jumping off a tight rope with no safety net below
What a cool ass dude! This man embodies the true human spirit that has all but died with the invention of modern conveniences. I want to be more like Willard.
@mwillblade You obviously missed the point. He wasn't a coward. It would have been much easier to comply with the status quo and go kill. He never enlisted, so nobody had to replace him.
@mwillblade You call him a coward because he didn't want to kill strangers for the government of a society he didn't want to be part of? You are the coward. If he were a coward he would have been a conformist like you.
@billj500 Wow , another chickenshit . Freedom isn't free Mr.Yellow belly.Someone has to man the walls so dip shits like you can open your suck and say anything .
@mwillblade Oh BS. War is all about brainwashed morons feeding their blood lust. How do you explain the fact that 52% of the fatalities in Iraq come by way of friendly fire? That's up 10% since vietnam and 32% higher than WW2. Yeah, war is really noble. I'm happy to inform you that you're a dinosaur and your way of thinking is dying with you.
@mwillblade Say the Nazi's won WW2 and took over the world, what is preventing me from going to a place miles and miles from anyone else and living alone? Nothing.
@aguineapig The Nazi's did win. Hitler and a couple of his best friends lost, but overall the rest of them landed really good jobs in the states running the New World Order.
@mwillblade Where do you live? I want to move there so that I can live in a free country. The country that I live in is totaly enslaved to powerful demonic elitist politicans. They send our troops off to murder anyone who stands in the way of their gaining even more money and power than they already have. I should know I was sent off to two different wars where we were told that we were fighting for freedom. What a lie.
@mwillblade Wait a minute. You say that somebody had to replace him????? I thought you said that the troops fought for freedom? If they fought for freedom than there wouldn't be a draft would there. In most countries the draft is considered a type of slavery. How can a free country have a draft? That doesn't make any sense at all.
I have 2 uncles that died in ww2 one in Belgum another in Iwo Jima. A grandfather that served to teach airforce men how to repair diesel engines he was a journeyman. Another uncle didnt get a purple heart but he got 4 bronze and a silver serving under Patton in Africa to the battle of the Buldge he saw more action than he wanted. And then I have an uncle that rather be called queer than fight in viet nam and I don't blame him Nam was a MIC war watch the netflick Most dangerous man in America.
I'm something of a hermit myself. I backpack around the SF Bay Area and go to town only to access WIFI. The adjustment has been challenging, esp. the loneliness and hunger. On the other hand, It's so peaceful to adapt to the mellow pace of the forest and the changes of the seasons. In my old life as an executive, I was so busy that I had little capacity to comfortably spend time in my own head. Craft life in your own way and pass up the out-of-the-box version sold in jobs and stores!
Ah that sounds so nice, to be able to be out in the world. I want to go out around the country and tour the world in my own way. I just want to finish school first and get a decent education before I venture out - just in case I'm a pussy and can't fully adapt to that life.
actually... if you think of it... the only reason there are Nations and wars is because of those who are bullies and want to take what is not theirs, so strongholds (in present days=nations) became necessary to protect the good people, and such operations are costly resource wise.
But, if we all just live off the earth and be happy and content and not bother anyone else, there would be no need for nationalism, (eg: military, and questions about whether contributing to a society or not!)
@iPurgolder The main goal of the government is to aquire as many worshipers as possible. By the time they found out about Willard he already had a huge folloing and a lot of good press. The Government in situations like this just pretends to not know about it. Best not to go after popular figures if they don't absolutely have to. Plus they have hundreds of thousands of slaves over seas killing people who can't defend themselves right now, as well as a long line of others just waiting.
what a great way to live, with nature, in solitude and above all, with yourself. You don't go mad you journey within and that journey is infinit. Food will always be provided for it's all around you in the wilderness.
as someone who's been out there I can say it's not that easy. You can watch the National Geographic special Alone in the Wild, it's very tough and very hard. You may not find food for days or weeks, then you start to break down.
It's doable but very hard, you need lots of previous experience and preparation. I also recommend that anyone watch Into the Wild, the story of Chris McCandless. Best of luck to whoever attempts this.
redtortoise76 - I understand your comments and obviously from your experience I'm sure it would be a shock to those who are used to the warmth of their home, clean clothes, nice hot bath, abundance in the cupboard - yet, out there, unless you know which berries and leaves to eat, you'll probably be dead before you've embarked on such a journey. I suppose a lot of people feel the 2hr drive from the city into the forrests with a log cabin is the next best thing, yet, still close to home.
i feel that way somtimes to it would be great but having sombody to go with would be alot better just so you dont lose your mind and have sombody to talk to
I met him..I grew up in Kemptown..and went fishing at Gully lake and he was out and about..I was only 7 or 8 at the time (now 26) and Hid behind a pile of rocks with my sister cause he was soo scary looking..
