Building the cabin would be fun. But after that, just alone with your thoughts, nothing new ever coming, it would be painfully boring.

People forget this when they romanticize the wilderness. Once the sun goes down and its 6pm alone in a tent, I think about the people I love and things I would be doing if I was home.

Once the sun goes down, my body remind me of all the efforts of the days and since there is objectively nothing to do, I just fall asleep.

Shitposting on /out/?

agreed. I think a key thing would be having projects for yourself to do during the evening. Even then I think with little else to do besides cut wood or collect food, that you'd be running through projects pretty fast.

So did he set up a tripod and take that picture of himself staring into the sunrise?

Faggot couldn't even hack the winter.

that seems like an odd conclusion, what I get from that article is that he couldn't hack the loneliness. It doesn't say that the winter was the problem.

"We're not made to be by ourselves."

A thing to remember for all outists.

"Man lives alone in the wilderness, feels lonely and goes home" should be the headline. I don't understand how people get these ideas in their heads. There is no great revelation to be had or anything to be discovered other than hey this is fun or hey this is not fun. I also think he just wasn't suited for it. It takes someone who really knows them self to be alone like that. He botched it when his other friends ditched out so I'm sure he went in with a lonely / abandoned attitude.

Why would it say that? It was a puff piece. Read between the lines. He wanted out 3 weeks before December 10.

He actually would have been worse off with other people stuck in that cabin, they would have killed each other

you're kind of jumping to conclusions based on mere speculation here
and like you say, a fluff piece, it's not the best source to start judging someone that you never met

It's just a little funny that /out/ idolize people like Dick Proenneke all the time and when other people have the balls to attempt something similar he's called a faggot and so on, looks like jealousy to me.

I've seen a couple of films where they break down and stuff. They seem to be typical extraverts that enthusiastically set out on their filmed solo survival without even knowing that they are just that, hopeless extraverts that basically shrivel up and die when alone.

dude he's fucking Norwegian so I doubt handling a cold winter is a big deal for him. And winters up there are fucking brutal. When I worked up in the NWT one time there was a bad snow storm with high wind. I think with windchill it ended up at -50C/-58F or colder. I walked about 60m from one building to another in a hoodie and almost blacked out. But I think the isolation is the hardest thing.

>>651121
because dick lived there for 30 years and didn't pussy out?

that's bullshit
