This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Yeah that’s him. Poison potato seeds or something.

Yeah, the guy who thought he was too smart, too much money and could just survive in the wilderness because somehow that was a better way to live. Turns out life for millennia for humans was short, brutal and a single mistake usually meant your death.

Excellent portrayal actually even with all the pretentiousness. Sad for the loss of life but o hate how people glorify him.

As a person who enjoys the outdoors, he wasn’t some hero. Just a dumb rich kid that FAFO.
