Hay gente que lleva 4 años sin ver a un humano, como este hombre:

What do I achieve spending so much time alone... was asked.
When I spent 4 years alone, hunting and fishing and some gardening was required.
I'm 67 now. It's my turn to do what I want.
So #1 is Quiet. No nagging, whining, complaining, nobody pushing me to do something I don't want to do. No door bells, no phone ringing. No lawnmower noise. No screaming neighbors or kids. Most of you wouldn't understand. Especially the married ones. You tune it out. I don't want it in the 1st place.
I had a black lab that recently died at 14. I'm looking for another. Until she got real old, when anchored, she would go to and from shore on her own when I was busy or lazy. I miss my dog, but not people. Especially women. Women are never happy.
I do projects on the boat that have the materials on board. Now I have satellite "sort of broadband", so I can type this. The time before I didn't. Because it's quiet, I see lots of sealife from whales on down.
I hike places that hasn't see people in maybe 100 years. Maybe never. If it hasn't been logged the forest or animal trails are easy to walk. My dog was my bear warning system. Beach combing is better with out a crowd. At night I don't see another light or hear human noise. It's like being the first person in the world.
Currently I sometimes take similar people with me. Especially the ones that cook better than I do. Rarely, but a few times I have taken want-a-be fishermen to Alaskan ports to look for a job. And usually any veteran that asks.
