I was walking my lab last night (smoking a fine Padron and sipping on Canadian whiskey) when I started wondering if there was such a thing as a modern day �Mountain Man�.
Now I know there are people who live in remote cabins year round, isolated from most human contact, but that is not what I am referencing here.
The �Mountain Man� I am envisioning heads into the wilderness for months at a time living only off what he is able to pack in via horseback or some type pack animal. The �Mountain Man� will remain in the wilderness, sleeping in a tent or bivy and only come out of the wilds when forced to by severe winter weather. Once winter weather is over he heads back into the wilderness.
Do you believe there are any individuals in the U.S. or Canada who actually do this?
I would like to meet such a man and buy him a drink.
Google "Claude Dallas". I don't think they allow alcoholic beverages in the Federal Slammer though.
