Not a life I’d like to live, but he’s fascinating. Hat’s off to him for doing it his way.

The only thing I could say I would have on my “bucket list” would be to live through a winter in a primitive cabin in the mountains, or live for a year on a deserted island. I am pretty much in awe of this guy.

A Paywall has fenced me in. Oh well.
I was wondering if he ever goes into town or to a bank?
Does he have no family left that is important to him?
What about hygiene needs?

About 6 months ago, there was an 80 y/o man living on someone else’s property. He said there was an agreement allowing him to stay, but the present 84 y/o owner said no, there was no deal. This guy was arrested for squatting and jailed.
During his jail stay, the owner (or somebody) reported that the old shack had all of a sudden burnt down to the ground, just like that! I can’t recall other details.

“Beryl Novak bought 40 acres of forest here in 1966 for $700,”

He bought this at 15 or 16?

The first pic in post #7 indicates that he sleeps in his recliner to the left.

Nothing wrong with that, 'cept it indicates back problems.

The left hand arm rest is pretty nasty.

“It’s a pigsty”

Yes. I don’t get it. Living alone in squalor.
