Yeah, I was actually surprised when one in particular told me. That one had always been quite adventurous to put it mildly so it wasn’t too weird for him. At the time he had been swinging between vigilant action, and considering moving to live his hermit life on a specific mountain in the area he lived at the time (he didn’t in the end). Fairly interesting person.

Great person though, and even though he was clearly on the militant leftwing side (I’m not), when we disagreed it was always purely full of respect between us. Some of the best talks we had in random tiny bars in central and eastern Europe (depending on where he was living at the time).
