By looking at the life of one of the modern world's last true hermits, Michael and I explore the idea of hermitage, solitude, and why being an individual requires you to be alone. My guest today wrote a biography - The Stranger in the Woods - about this man who locals called “the Hermit of the North Pond.” His name is Michael Finkel and today on the show we discuss how Chris survived alone in the Maine woods by himself, but more importantly, why Chris wanted to be by himself for so long. Well, in 1986 a man named Christopher Knight did just that and lived alone in the Maine woods without any, any human contact for 27 years until he was discovered in 2013. Have you ever just wanted to get in your car, drive off into the middle of nowhere, leave behind the hustle and bustle of civilization, and just be by yourself? He wasn t discovered until 2013, when he was caught stealing food from nearby cabins. A young couple staying in an isolated vacation. The Stranger in the Woods is the unbelievable but true story of Christopher Knight, who in 1986 decided to go into the Maine woods and live alone in the forest. With Alex Fisher, Peter Clayton-Luce, Scott Speedman, Liv Tyler. The episode originally aired in November 2017. The Strangers: Directed by Bryan Bertino.
