When you realize how toxic so many people are, a solitary life is how I found happiness and peace. I’m not saying that’s why billy chose this life, but many are choosing to be alone.

Bless him

17 months in tomerong NSW bush No snow but cool enough to sleep in all my clothes No one visits 2 hr walk to town I owned 1 million house I built Then devorce 33 owned everything Now I own a tent No drugs no alcohol no cigarettes No gambling She decided I left my kids my wealth

I have a social life, I talk to myself everyday. Only time I'm truly at peace is while touring alone on my motorcycle.

I've had to take a bath and tomato juice to eliminate the skunk smell after being sprayed by a skunk. While I was trying to keep my dog from attacking it, and a dog got sprayed worse than I did. Yet my parents made me take a bath and tomato juice, at that time it was home canned and they were furious with me. And more furious with the neighbor who told me it was a kitty. And he laughed thinking it was funny. My dad let him know in his own way that it wasn't. I never had a problem with that neighbor again he was an old man and very mean to us boys.

I'm currently winding down a similar lifestyle. Though it looks romantic and idealic, it is very, very, very hard work. Planning months out for supplies, dealing with climate induced disasters, animal control, you name it, it's stressful. Then, there is the isolation which leads to diminished social skills and loss of friends. Insect infestations, ticks, meth'd out locals. Fuck this. I'm ready for society again. Oregon's backwoods are strange places.

How did He make money to buy groceries?

Sounds like Erbie Youman. Had his own goldmine and hamer mill. His garden was wrapped in wire with metal plates that made noise when deer tried to get in. He had a five foot deep hole where he kept a tray of strawberries at night so they would not freeze. When he quite his mine he dynamited it closed and tore down his mill. His log house is now almost flattened.

dude I live in fort collins. I would hang out with this old guy. Bring my boat and go fishing with him. I wonder what town it is that he's closest to.

Is this a window into my future?

The human is a social animal. Living alone is like sitting down and never getting up and never using your arms or legs, it's just not for everyone. It would be a tragedy for most people.

Sometimes living alone far from big city is better for keeping an healthy mindset than living in nowadays societies 🤷‍♀️

I live alone but not lonely, tranquility is a true gift from God ,love the mountain view God gave me

👍🏼❤️

"See so I do have a social life" I like that guy😅

Sad, but true. Society is falling. People are hard. Only here I have and have lost many animals, as my new friends. Many of us have left and gone to the forest. Alaska. And died there. Dick Proenneke's trek to Alaska is a great look at how and how not..he died there. But did not have to deal with the foolishness of being locked in a loop of work and repeat. BUT, don't think it is easy, by no means. Life in the wild is very rough. Many do not make it the first week out here in the field. Its all how you look at it and learn a different skill, being back to nature is not for most. But it will be where you go if all is lost.

Lately people just seem like unnecessary drama to me. I wanted to like people but in the end, I enjoy being alone most of the time.

I know exactly how that same life is.

I have this feeling that would be this guy except that i will be homesteading in the woods

Interesting. Too bad you had to live alone. I really hate it for you, but you didn’t have anyone nagging you for not taking overtime or reeming you for taking care of necessities. But on the other hand loneliness.

It’s not that I don’t like people, it’s just that I’m happier when they’re not around.

I want to go to there.

Having lived through several skunk wars myself, his skunk story is epic! 🤘😂

Love the skunk story.. 🧹 🦨

Hey I’ve been married 2 times and both of them cheated and filed for divorce when I needed them the most !! So I don’t think your missing anything stay single !! 👍

Believe me… your not missing out, not living in this society.

Such enviable life, surprisingly, many of us wish to have a life like his.

God Bless you brother.... I fully understand ....

The beginning of this is very sad

No Woman no cry. Less stress and less Bills. Sounds like Paradise for me.

I bet theres numerous women out there who would love to ruin this mans solitude lol

Great story

For Landan Woodard: Single men have a considerably shorter life. Single women live longer. Find someone who shares your values

I'm blessed to have a family, but I do thrive in solitude. I don't do well with a busy schedule and hectic social life. My ideal weekend is reading a good book or getting into my hobbies.

I’d like to meet Billy !

chess player?

I would throughly enjoy spending time with him!!!

I would like a pair of mittens and his mailing address, please.

The skunk story. HAHAHAHA

2 days? No way. My cousin shot a skunk in his garage back in 1986. I'm pretty sure it still stinks in there.

He has been spared a lot of misery by being single.

I respect and I admire him.

Being married will add years to your life. He lives a priceless life 👍 I too lived it a few times, and always remember the great memories of peace.

The older I get the more the idea of living in a log cabin in the woods twenty miles from another living human being becomes more and more appealing to me.
