    Forty-three long grassers were interviewed in their first language. The reasons they gave for living in the long grass were complex, ranging from the inability to afford a flight back to their home community after accessing medical treatment, to a desire to escape disputes and conflicts in their community, to an enjoyment of the 'freedom of living in the long grass'.
