You know? If you don't want to pay taxes, that's fine. You don't get to use our cities, roads, police protection, hospitals, drinkable water, etc.
Go live in a cave in the forrest, we'll come to clean out your bones in a few years
But that's not actually an option, you're just being facetious. If I were allowed to do whatever I pleased with a few acres of decent forest, I would fuck right off from society. I have most of the skills and tools required to at least get by, and learn to thrive as I go. But that's not an option because all the unused land is "owned" by people who will never set foot upon it. Beyond that there's all sorts of pointless regulations tied to living "off grid". Many municipalities don't allow power generation with water, whether in natural flow or through impoundment.
Pointless regulations? I don't want a bunch of short-sighted yahoos in the woods diverting water and over-harvesting natural resources with no oversight. That shit affects everyone downstream, literally and metaphorically.
Those tools you got were only possible because of the society you are trying to run away from.
Same with your skills.
Go live on an island, the moment one of those tools break you will be crawling back to us.
Yeah, and you don't even have the option to live in a cave in the wilderness, you can't stay in one place for more than 14 days, though technically there are a lot of RV retirees that literally just drive between parks for their retirement.
