I suppose I could get a small taste of the experience by renting a cabin for a week (in a secluded state park somewhere) and just being by myself. Taking my toys with me, of course.
Us moderns are really not used to being alone with our thoughts. We have music on cue (unheard of a century ago), other people on cue (talk radio, etc). All so we don't have to rattle around alone, in our own heads.
