00:00 My name is Michael Nelms. I'm a homeless man. Instead of going to the bridge, I went to the mountains.
00:08 Tick's my dog. She's all I've got left. And I'm all she's got.
00:14 Tick and I need meat in our bellies. No luck yet.
00:24 No.
00:26 Ma'am.
00:28 We split everything right down the middle, Tick and I do.
00:31 This is how I drop my trees, right here.
00:33 Do your cutting.
00:36 I've lived here longer than I have lived anywhere else.
00:39 See, I'm stuck. Stuck here.
00:41 I'm stuck in today.
00:44 I'm just about giving up on tomorrow.
00:46 For thousands of years, this time of year has been known as the starving time.
00:51 Both our bellies are growling, I swear.
00:56 Their is louder than mine.
00:58 There's three more.
00:59 I guess it's coming down to that.
01:01 I was attacked by a bear. I have scars on my arms, left shoulder, scars in my mind.
01:24 Back to my lonely life.
01:26 The big lonely.
