What if you disconnect from society altogether? Urban nomads know what that's like, but they continue to live in the city in frayed corners and live on a kind of handouts and what others throw away. In countries with lots of nature and few inhabitants per square kilometer, some daredevils disconnect completely. They make a place where they live and live entirely self-sufficiently. Bushcraft is called that, the skill of living in the wild from the wild. They do have some trade with the "inhabited world" for tools, gasoline, solar panels, clothes, batteries and lights. In this narrative, we follow a man as he disconnects from society in a natural area. We live with him as he makes decisions, builds cabins and boats, bakes pots and hauls firewood endlessly. Until uninvited people come to his door asking: can I too? For children, he kneels down. This is idyllic for a while, but more damaged children arrive. Does he know how to hold his own as a maverick eccentric?
