Covered during recovery?

[Tarrel]

For an account of how easily a "lone wolf" can come to a sticky end, I recommend "Into The Wild" by John Krakauer. It's a journalistic account of the true story of Chris McCandless, the young American from a privileged background who gave all his money away and strode off into the Alaskan wilderness, never to be seen again. IIRC, it was food poisoning that got him in the end.
