This is an adapted excerpt from a recently published book. It's about Christopher Knight, who was a hermit in Maine between 1986 and 2013.<p>Spoiler alert: He survived by committing about 1,000 burglaries of the 100 cabins in the area.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Thomas_Knight" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Thomas_Knight</a>
I prefer the older 2014 GQ story about him: <a href="http://www.gq.com/story/the-last-true-hermit" rel="nofollow">http://www.gq.com/story/the-last-true-hermit</a><p>I also just finished watching this fascinating story about a 54-old man who decided to live alone in the Alaska woods, for more than 27 years, building his own cabin.
