West Pennine Moors
I've got one, one of my faves:

Born in 1867 in the Pennines
Worked in London but 'dropped out' when he was 30
Lived in a cave in the 1920
Arguably invented camping and adventure holidays by offering his guideship
Invented trousers that could be turned into shorts.
Was a right soap-dodger.

Who am I?

I was born to Polish parents in Canada in 1940
I was suspended from university for "a complete lack of direction"
I teach bushcraft skills to military and civilians.
I am well known for saying " the more you know the less you carry"

Too easy!
