Wow, that's very interesting.  Seems a little extreme, but must suit you 
well enough to have continued it for that long.  Most people would not 
want that level of isolation, but I realize that some do.  Seems like it 
would get kind of lonely.  I believe I'm somewhere in between - I do 
like some alone time, but not to that extent.

I'm assuming you subsist (at least somewhat) "off the land"?  Such as 
growing some vegetables and hunting some animals?  I guess you have 
electricity and internet, at least.
