Knight has received comparisons to Hendry David Thoreau in the past. The author and hermit is best known for the book “Walden”, which narrated his time living at Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Apparently, Knight is not fond of the comparisons. Although there were similarities between their situations, Knight felt that his predecessor had different motives for going into the wilderness.
