Solitary Confinement


Solitary Confinement would kill me!
I'd go crazy after a week by myself: crazy like a shithouse rat!

My friend tried the solitary test on a beach in Australia.
He just wanted to see how long he could stand being alone.
A little radio was his only companion.

The radio batteries lasted 8 days.
He lasted 9 days.


A hiker I met said he had gone hiking for 6-8 weeks several times without seeing another person. He confessed his favourite pastime was setting up a Bruce Lee style training area in the forest. Blindfolded and naked he tried to knock pinecones off of sticks he had placed within this area.
He never did quite explain why he had to be naked to do this.

If I ever have to go in to solitary confinement, I'll be sure to take a solar powered radio and some pinecones with me.
