I thought the same thing about another lonely guy in the wild.

Very interesting and thank you for posting it.

I will admit that I am a little sceptical. He seems to be clean, in pretty good health, and appears to have a little extra weight on him in spite of the fact that he has only built a temporary camp and has no apparent food source.... I don't think a machete is ideal for harvesting mice. Judging from what is shown in the video, he does not gather anywhere near enough wood to get through the night. The area looks to be wet and remote, therefore not right on a main trail. It seems unlikely to me that one would find both a functioning lighter and a gold watch in a place like that. At any rate, it was an intertaining and thought provoking video and well worth the viewing time.
