very matter-of-factly that he found
modern society unnecessarily
complicated and misguided, so much so
that he preferred to live on only what
nature provided him, storing his grain in
the winter and sleeping in a cave. The
thing that struck me more than the fact
that he cut his hair with a sharp rock and
probably wasn’t wearing any undies,
was that he was totally unapologetic.
There we all were, shifting around,
feeling suddenly ridiculous in our
expensive hiking boots and UV-
protective clothing, while he described
how it took him weeks to whittle the
bow and arrow he used to kill the deer
whose hides now serve as his
tuis.
