Hey everyone,

I spent months filming an 81-year-old who has lived off-grid deep in the Oregon woods for 25 years, cabins he built himself, bears, cougars, solar setup, everything.
I turned it into a 12-minute documentary and wanted to share it with people who love the outdoors as much as he does.

  • The OP has provided the following Submission Statement for their post:

    This is a short documentary I filmed about Lloyd, an 81-year-old man who has lived alone in the Oregon wilderness for 25 years. I spent multiple visits interviewing him about solitude, nature, danger, love, loss, and why he chose to stay. The film explores his daily life, self-sufficiency, and reflections on the world as he ages. All footage, interviews, field audio and editing were done by myself, and I aimed to capture his humanity and philosophy in a respectful and cinematic way.
