Here's someone I never saw /out/ discussing... Lillian Alling. Long story made short: in the 1920s, russian girl moves to NYC to work but hates it. Since she's poor she decides to walk home to siberia. Goes to public library and charts the path she will take and then starts walking. She became newsworthy by the time she reached British Columbia and is known to have made it to the Bering Sea where by a lesser known account she apparently arranged passage across to russia with natives. She never accepted a ride and did all this solo with the exception of being given a dog for company for part of the journey. My vote for queen of /out/.

Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with you. My vote would have to go to Agafia Lykov. She was born in a hollowed out pine washtub 3,500 feet up a mountain in the Abakan range in 1944 after her parents fled the soviet regime. She's only been to the modern world six times in her life and she's developed an immunity to deer ticks from being exposed to them for so long. The closest settlement to her is 150 miles away and the only access to her property is by boat, helicopter, or hiking in. In 1978, a group of geologists found the Lykov's camp by happening upon it by helicopter, making them the first outsiders the Lykovs had seen since 1936. She's been almost entirely self sufficient since 1988. All hail the queen of /out/.
