I never went that far but I once lived in a cabin in the middle of the Adir=
ondacks for close to a month, hunting. I had visitors to hunt with during t=
he weekends but otherwise I was alone. It was adventurous at first but towa=
rds the end it became work. I like my alone time but I've got to have somet=

urvival mode only and for me that became .... I don't want to say boring bu=
t .... I guess drudgery. Same thing ... day after day. Keorsene and Coleman=
 lamp light is not good to read by, either. One day stands out. I went down=
 to the stream to get water and there was a whole school of fingerling trou=
t going by. Scooped up a couple of dozen of them, floured them and ate them=
 whole.
Oh yeah, had a black bear come up behind me while I was sitting at the base=

I got tired of venison stew too.=20

I REAALLY missed pizza most of all .... then my wife.=20
