Mick Dodge climbs a pair of trees near his cabin along the Sol Duc River near Forks, Wash., on Jan. 3, 2014.  Fourteen years ago Dodge was working as a heavy equipment mechanic at Fort Lewis. Dissatisfied with the 9-to-5 grind, he gave up civilization for a life in the rain forest, living off the land, sleeping in tree stumps and bartering for necessities. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, a television series about Dodge's unusual lifestyle, "The Legend of Mick Dodge," premieres on the National Geographic Channel. The show focuses on his adventures in the mountains and Hoh rain forest.

一月三日，米克‧道奇爬上他所居小屋附近的兩棵樹上。他的小屋搭建於華盛頓福克斯市附近的索爾達克河沿岸。十四年前，原本服務於路易士堡擔任重機械修理員的道奇，因不滿朝九晚五的上班作息而放棄都市文明。他跑到雨林中以農作物維生、睡在腐朽樹幹裡，並以物易物交換生活必需品。

一月七日，有關道奇不尋常生活方式的電視影集《米克‧道奇的傳奇人生》於國家地理頻道首映，主要描述他在山裡和賀伊溫帶雨林中的探險故事。
