In forested country, like what dominates the Eastern half of North America, it's relatively easy to squat anywhere you want because nobody can see you and very few people ever go off trail. There's also national forest roads with free campsites that you can live at forever as long as you rotate between them. You could pitch a tent a few hundred yards from the highway within a short walk to a town with jobs and food and supplies and probably nobody would find you for years unless you're retarded. And then there's nothing they can even do because it's not even illegal to do primitive camping.
Out west you're probably fucked because people can see you and your smoke from a mile away and drive ATVs or even pickup trucks almost anywhere without needing trails. You'll wake up dead in no time.
