I was thinking more like shacks, their cars, and cardboard boxes. The lucky ones will be in the woods with a place like this guy.
—”A man who lives in a tidy house is (1) married, or (2) has a housekeeper, or (3) is gay.”
I would attempt to run that by my wife, she would instantly question #3.
Like the fake Chinese character for crisis, having a very sharp wife is a great opportunity and also dangerous.

—” but wonder if the attachment to isolation in the forest is better.”
Unstated in the article, he granted the interview and photos in exchange for a bag of cheeseburgers and a sixpack of Fat Tire.
He retired on his military pension at the age of 45. While not much, it probably pays for his real needs.

Once upon a time ALL of Proenneke’s videos were widely available, now commercialized with some jamoke voiceover...
I’d skip the cheeseburgers, but love the Fat Tire. I traveled to a brewing conference in Belgium with their brew master and always loved their beers.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
And BTW, I didn't mean to imply that a married man's wife would clean the house, just that a married man would live in a tidy house.;-)

Never a driving issue here I’ve run into unless a car accident. Straight shot to everything you need. I can’t imagine living in a better place for me.
Yep...best living I’ve had in my lifetime. Perfect for all I want and need. Also get all four seasons here which I greatly missed when living in Florida. Close enough to family without falling over each other about 45 minutes away from me here. In fact they couldn’t believe how wonderful it is here till they took a tour with me. Son said one of those best kept secrets on an ideal place to live.
