Has anyone used solitude as a tool to help in getting perspective; thinking.....indeed anything?

When I mean solitude, I mean actually removing yourself almost from society (as much as possible) and remaining physically isolated for an extended time?

I know two champions who came to remotest Ireland, near where I used to to live, to do such things.......Rockwell Kent (Artist).....Wittgenstein(Philosopher)

Have any of you thrown the sleeping bag and the tent in the car and left behind ALL the gadgets; leaving you with just soliloquy to keep you company....and headed into the wilderness for a few days?
