That part of the world is beautiful, if challenging (I've hiked near there, but not right there, and I wore boots). The lifestyle seems to have become less rugged when the wife and, especially, the kids arrived, but it is still very spartan. He's a bit New Age but, if that helps him keep going it doesn't bother me. ![]() And somehow, after living like this for 10 years, he convinced a woman to come and raise a family with him. ![]() He's also smart, he dropped out of med school to do this. When he does this he doesn't bother with a tent, just a sleeping bag cover. The climate is very, very wet (rainfall is measured in meters down there rather than cm or inches the rest of us use). ![]() Fishing boats pass by but getting out to them means braving the serious surf in a small dinghy or just swimming. To get there you mostly have to walk at least 20km, though there are small planes and helicopters from time to time. It is the true (ie autobiography) account of a man who kind of dropped out of society and went to live on the lower west coast of NZ. ![]()
