Surviving alone in the wilderness when the only person you can depend upon is yourself requires a special frame of mind that, like Robinson Crusoe, you may never know you possess until your ship cracks up on the shoals and you find yourself one against the wilderness.There are certain preparations you can make in advance, however, to help even out the odds. Perhaps the most important first step you can take toward surviving alone in the wilderness is to become aware now of what it means to be alone and what that demands of you.A man alone is more vulnerable, more susceptible to his inner fears. Being consciously aware of this can help you overcome them.“Aren’t you afraid?” friends demanded as I prepared to depart for the Yukon. “What if something happens to you when you’re by yourself miles and miles from help?”“The fear of being alone,” I replied, “not being alone itself, is the fear you have to overcome.”I have spent a lot of time in jungles, deserts, mountains, and on the sea.

Location of the Lykov family's settlement in Russia

The Lykov family (Russian: Лыков) was a Russian family of Old Believers.[1] The family of six is known for spending 42 years in complete isolation from human society in an otherwise uninhabited upland of Abakan Range, in Tashtypsky District of Khakassia (southern Siberia). Since 1988, only one daughter, Agafia, survives.

Their story became well known following the 1994 publication of Lost in the Taiga: One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness by journalist Vasily Peskov.[2]

History[edit]

In 1936, their religion was under threat. After Karp Lykov's brother was killed by a Bolshevik patrol, Karp and Akulina Lykov with their two children, Savin and Natalia,[3] fled their hometown of Lykovo[4] (Tyumen Oblast) eastward. Two more children, Dmitry and Agafia, were born during the isolation. They ended up in a dwelling in the taiga, near the Yerinat River (Abakan river basin), 250 kilometres (160 mi) from any settlement.[5] In 1978 their location was discovered by a helicopter pilot, who was flying a geological group into the region. The geologists made contact with the family, but the Lykovs decided not to leave the place.[6]

Akulina died of hunger in 1961, having sacrificed herself so that her children might survive. Three of the children died in 1981. Karp died in 1988. He is survived by his daughter Agafia Lykova, who has over the years accumulated a cattle of goats and chickens as well as building for herself a decent hut. For about ten years, Agafia lived with one of the geologists, Yerofei Sedov. She has remarked to VICE News on his uselessness and how she must supply him with water.[7] Yerofei died on 3 May 2015.[8][9] In that same year, she received a helper, 53-year-old Georgy Danilov from Orenburg, who came to her residence answering an open letter she had written requesting such.[10] In 2016, she was airlifted out to a hospital in Tashtagol, Russia, from her remote location near Kazakhstan's and Mongolia's borders. Her condition is related to cartilage deterioration in her lower extremities.[11][12] Agafia was treated at a hospital in Tashtagol, and has since returned to the wilderness, where she still lives as of 2019.[13]
