How is it that there are so many pictures of this guy yet no one knows his real name?
I saw some MostlyHarmless user posts on a for survival equipment.

I don’t think this is likely him for multiple reasons - location height etc but this guy was mentioned as possible voluntary disappearance and some possible legal issues.

Thanks coffee56. I think Gregory has a more receding hairline than our UID has.
Agreed. Something off with earlobes too I think.
Location of Mostly Harmless in 2009 was Norway.

If you recall Into the Wild, Chris McCandless survived just over 3 months in Alaska, he started with a 10 lb bag of rice, and was able to shoot squirrels and such, but weighed 67 lbs when he died. There's some controversy about whether he ate poisonous plants, but I don't know whether that really made a difference. Once he realized he couldn't survive off the land, he tried to retrace his steps to the highway but found the river he'd easily crossed in early spring was swollen with summer melt and he had no maps/strength to explore for an alternate route out.If that is him, he looks to have been a healthy weight at the time those photos were taken. If he was terminally ill that would have shown up at autopsy, and given his age range I'd suggest cancer if he was nearer 50 and maybe something like HIV or leukaemia if he was nearer the lower end of the range.
I wonder how long it would take for someone to go from a healthy weight to approaching skeletal, whether due to terminal illness or starvation.
It's part of long distance trail hiking culture, people are very friendly when they meet up, but then just say 'bye' and move on, hiking at different speeds. They use trail names that are more memorable than real names. Talk is all about life on the trail, or life in general, no one cares about who someone was/will be once they go back to normal life.How is it that there are so many pictures of this guy yet no one knows his real name?
I still haven’t been able to access the other posts. It is possible that he was in Norway in 2009 on a vacation. Or studying there.I saw some MostlyHarmless user posts on a for survival equipment.

It's possible that was another (Norwegian) person, who also liked the book. It appears the first trail name the unid'd victim used was Denim, then he later chose Mostly Harmless.I still haven’t been able to access the other posts.
