Guy in the movie

In the movie the man has a lot of transcendentalism ways. He spends 35 years alone in the wilderness with nobody but himself and his surroundings. Going by only what he feels and not by what anyone thinks he has a peaceful life and experiences many things. He lives in a cabin that he built himself, fishes in the lake, and gets water from it also and that’s how he makes a living. The belief of transcendentalism is all through this documentary because the man is living off feelings and not situations or wants. "They believed that if a person was truly in touch with their surroundings, they could transcend these physical and man-made things to connect with God". He lived 35 years of his life doing just that in that cabin and that’s what makes him a transcendentalist.
