Thanks for a great read!
I'll admit that there have been times when walking into the woods seemed like the answer.
I find it incredibly sad that he's been forced back into this society. I guess we have no room in our society for hermits.

Well at least in a shtf scenario he'll know what to do. Most people living in his situation would have died.

Was he forced back into society or just forced back into interacting with society?
Seems he was in society all along, taking stuff, reading stuff, listening to the radio, etc. he simply didn't talk to people.

I'm sorry a week with no plumming and you can roll me up and send
my ass to county. Shower, three hots and a cot and release date.

Living in the woods in your home country for 30 years is pretty cool and all.
But...
This dude hid in a foreign country and refused to surrender until personally ordered by his former commanding officer. Dude legit continued fighting world war 2 until 1974.
And he wasn't even the last holdout, either.

A man who hasn't seen "us" in almost 30 years, summed up the truth of our society in a few words -
"Sitting here in jail, I don’t like what I see in the society I’m about to enter. I don’t think I’m going to fit in. It’s too loud. Too colorful. The lack of aesthetics. The crudeness. The inanities. The trivia."
How long will it take us to see it?

I have to say his feats are amazing. I mean living alone on the woods for almost 30 years is impressive. Most people if they were alone would probably go insane.

This is a fairly old story, now... I'm almost certain someone posted it here on ATS six months to a year ago.
Maybe not. I live in Maine so I guess I could have heard it elsewhere.
I'm just amazed the guy didn't get shot when they found him.
