Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, ’cause “the West is the best.” And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. – Alexander Supertramp May 1992

    This is a great read I encourage you to read it after the Last Breath.
    The Last Child in the Woods is another great story.

    Only after you finish the survival book I forced on you, but, yes, I agree with Kristen, this one is both chilling and instructive. The guy in the book reminds me of you, but without the great parents, the loving extended family, the “GF,” and all zillions of friends.

    But, if you ever want to go to Alaska and live in a bus, give me call.
