Was recently listening to a good podcast on bear encounter safety tips.
Same podcast (KUOW's The Wild), different episode, covered a Korean man who waits in six-month stretches in a bunker he built in Siberia for the purpose of photographing elusive Siberian Tigers. From a Nat Geo article on the same guy:

We called our bunkers ‘hotels’ to make them seem more comfortable. But in reality they were cramped, underground spaces measuring six feet by six feet by five. I had to stoop when standing up, but I spent most of my time sitting: waiting and watching for tigers with my camera. Outside it was -20F and snowy. I was unable to shower or turn a light on, and had to remain very quiet so as not to scare off the tigers, even though sometimes I wanted to shout. I felt as though I were in solitary confinement. I would read the labels of food containers for entertainment.
