A nonplussed character wearing a feathered leather hat and a backpack full to bursting says to a disgruntled man “aight it’s been real but im disappearing into the woods forever.”
The would-be hermit turns only his eyes toward the man as he raises his arms in frustration and shouts “you can’t just fuck off into the woods, you have to stay here!”
The man’s expression softens into confusion as his conversational parter’s backpack comes to the fore of his vision as he simply departs. A narrator adds “but he could. And he did.”
The traveler is seen at great distance as the man continues looking on. The narrator continues. “And no one ever saw him again.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Proenneke The linked person did this for a couple decades in alaska. Yearly trades with a friend who came over by seaplane and landed on the local lake. they exchanged some goods, i think Proenneke made some oils from the wilderness and the visitor brought like medicine and shoes or something. He eventually had to come back to society because he couldn’t chop enough wood to keep himself warm in the winter anymore.
Richard(Dick) Filmed himself setting up and his first year or couple years. This was edited into 3 or 2 films (Alone in the wilderness). you should look for them online, they are available for free if you look in the right spots. I think there’s 4 hours of edited film in total of his story.
