I'm just a guy from Western Canada but I have watched this four times so far and every time I feel better about it. This film is an experience.

PS. I watched it several more times and am still more and more entranced. I grew up in Western Canada and he grew up in Australia. And yet we end up with massively similar sensibilities and a totally compatible idiom. I find that to be fascinating. When I'm a bit too stoked up, I revert to this video. Anyway, I'm gonna motor.

Such an enigmatic man in such a remote place. I loved it!

I wanted to join him - his cooking alone would be worth the experience. Soul searching and amazing food. .....yes.

Escape, dream and dream some more... Especially loved the music, still waiting for the soundtrack!

Really makes you think about life in so many ways. When a man is reduced to nothing, it makes you ponder your own existence quite a bit. Very very interesting experience.
