It sounds strange, but makes sense too how hard it is for him to find food in winter. He’s so devoted to living a naturalist life that when he’s very hungry he resorts to trash can searches for food. He also will go sit inside the entrance to the bathhouse for short periods most days in winter just to thaw out a bit. I really admire him for doing what he does. I think he also makes an excellent Godfather type figure for Leo later in the game. They live the same lifestyle really. Living solely off the fruits of the land and sea.
