GrindTV.com recently ran a profile of Miller, who says he was inspired by literary heroes like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. He was also inspired by a longstanding interest in survival and primitive camping; he’d actually spent his junior year living out of his car and sleeping in a nearby cave.
