"NO" ZILCH "ZIP" Human contact....???
What is the longest period of time you have ever gone with NO human contact, No visual contact, no verbal contact. Just you, maybe your dog, but no humans. Hours, days, months, years. And was it long enough that you were mesmerized to hear voice coming out of a person, not the words, but the sound of human voice.
9 months and 3 days . . .

9 months and 3 days, my first winter in AK. I do have my dog, but that is the only "domestic" live contact I had during that period. It really wasn't that bad when I finally had contact with another human. While I do like talking to others, it does not bother me to be alone for long periods of time. I have always been able to adapt to whatever situation I am in.
My usual time period without contact is 4-6 months at a time. I live very remote. The only human tracks around my home are mine. All others are moose, caribou, dog, bear, wolverine, bird, etc.
The biggest adjustment for me is when I am visiting my family for holidays. They live in a very populated metropolitan area. It takes me about a week to acclimate to it.
