The Quiet Life of the King of the Mountain
Рет қаралды 4,641,541
6 жыл бұрынFor the past 24 years, Leif Haugen has spent his summers living alone atop a mountain in Montana’s pristine wilderness. As a fire lookout for the U.S. Forest Service, Leif is charged with protecting the surrounding landscape, watching for signs of fire from his solitary perch. Spending up to two weeks alone at a time, he spends his days unwinding amid the peace and quiet, watching as the world passes him by.

I'd so love to do something like this. I spent two weeks in a cabin without electricity and a 3 hour walk from the next supermarket and I had the best time. So much time to read, think, walk, explore, wonder, write, daydream, sleep, chopping wood, rowing, swimming in the cold lake etc. I've just been re-reading Kerouac's Lonesome Traveller and he also was a fire lookout for a summer and it reminded me of this video that I first saw a year ago or so.

Derptrollz Dude, reaching "enlightenment" isn't hard...anyone could do it. Within the course of a year, Iv'e reached the pinnacle point of my "enlightenment", I personally believe. However, attaining "nirvana" is up for questioning, as it's just the end result of something you're not feeling; so, it's a contradiction of living, I suppose. The Buddha made up something that a mortal could not achieve, and I think that's his way of saying to use his "religion" to the very end of the conscious mind.

You guys in US need to be happy for having opportunities like this... Here in Brazil we don't even have hatches in mountains and when we do, it's totally unappropriated for anything but stay one night and go. Always on national parks that have enormous difficulties and paper to handle with when you want to go for a hike. I would love to have a place like this nearby.

I did three season's at the most remote lookout in the Continental US. It's called Arctic Point and is in the Frank Church Wilderness area in Idaho. Water was collected (by me ) 1/4 mile away at a spring. Best water I've ever had...yes it was tested every year. As a rule the Forest Service provides stove fuel, battery's and a small charging (solar) system for the Forest Radio. I was delivered to my lookout on horse's and mules and could pack in 1500 lbs. of food, tp, clothes, books, etc. All your food is on your own dime. Typically at the remote lookouts you'll get one resupply during the season. You call in your order and the FS deliver's it to your site. Yup...outhouse. Mine was a nice one. Arctic point was built in 1939, and was even manned during WW2. It's part of the Krassel Ranger District, out of McCall, Id.

George A. Really??? Funny thing, you might want to check budgets for fire fighting for the last twenty years. All administrations have shortchanged the fire fighting budgets to the forest service. And the fires are getting bigger and more frequent because of prolonged droughts in the West. And to top it off, the forest service has to pull money from other parts of the budget that could help reduce fires in order to cover increasing costs. Try to at LEAST make an intelligent comment when you post...
