whats the longest time you’ve ever spent alone, with no (or as close as possible to no) human interaction whatsoever? what was it like? what did you eat? why were you alone for that long? what did you do everyday?

every once in a while i think how awesome it would be to have some real Alone Time. something akin to Kerouac’s time as a fire lookout as described in The Dharma Bums. but does one have to go completely off grid for this type of experience?

i cant say i have thought it completely through, but anyone have experiences to share? i guess i’m looking for examples on the scale of weeks or even months of being alone.
