A modern Cold Mountain

The man who lives without money

This link was passed along to me on Facebook yesterday from men.style.com.

Several months ago, I was waxing prosaic about Cold Mountain, the Chinese philosopher/poet who lived an isolated life under a cliff.

Here's a story about a guy doing much the same thing today. As you'll see, a lot of the romanticism is stripped away.

I don't think I ever seriously considered living in a cave. I was thinking more along the lines of Walden: isolated, but not completely cut off. And with running water. And heat and air. And broadband Internet.
