So, what has stopped you from moving /out/?

There has to be a few people here who would drop everything on a dime to wander/settle in the wilderness for the unforseeable future.

Also, what would you miss?
What would you keep you alive in terms of your survival skills?
Would you take anyone with you?

Do you mean like, actually living in the wilderness or having a cabin?

Will lurk this thread. What would be a good place for someone to do this? I'd imagine authority wouldn't bother you in Alaska.

Dude isn't a monster. I get he was stealing. No excuses for that, but the guy never hurt anybody. In fact people showed sympathy for him. I think that if you're going to live /out/ you should at least know how to catch your own food. Can't believe this guy got away with it for so long.

Same thing happened around where I live by the ADK.

I've been thinking about Canada. Five years is not that long. I've at least wanted to go spend a week out there running through the mountains. I live right near the Adirondacks and that would be a bad place to set up. Way too many people and being a hermit wouldn't really work. Canada would though.

Think of all the millions of dollars of "charity" organizations that take up millions of dollars from people only to redistribute to those they deem "needy" through an oversized, expensive and probably corrupt system of red tape.
now this guy maybe "stole" a few hundred dollars worth of basic food goods and other sundry items per year to support himself. he didn't hurt anyone. and was otherwise not a burden on society accept the obsessed hysterical statists who think they need to have everyone marked, numbered, tracked, detained and chained to your false made-up societal conventions.

Why? He didn't want to take part in the community but he couldn't survive on his own (or didn't want to.)

He wasn't just stealing food, he was also taking books and personal items.

If he was just yogi bear-ing it then I doubt he would have been caught but he went too far.

Nah, there's big difference between streaming a movie and actually taking a physical item. It's like saying weed is a gateway to hard drugs. If someone is going to do heroin they're going to do heroin.

Plus it's not like it was entirely petty theft. He did it regularly over a couple decades. It's a lot different than stealing some food or dumpster diving.

Yeah I just mean there's a disconnect, where so many people rationalize certain kids of stealing for their own selfish reasons, and it confuses the whole fact that there's actually a victim every time you steal something. It's similar people lots of people rationalize his stealing because "he needed to" or is somehow percieved to be in the right by doing so, when in fact that doesn't withstand any scrutiny whatsoever. He's just a parasite and had no right whatsoever. You can just do what you want and enjoy what you want purely at the expense of others. That is quite literally antisocial.

And dumpster diving legally isn't stealing.

I don't have a problem with dumpster diving, I was just using it as an example of something that you can get in trouble for despite there being no actual problem with it.

He wasn't an /out/ type guy. Not sure if it's the article you linked, but I read an interview with him and for the most part, everything he used he stole. Didn't light a fire, didn't hunt. He wanted to fly under the radar and believed those things would betray him. Funny how he thought robbing was easier.

Money is the only thing preventing me, but that will all change soon.

Been doing the numbers. With my new job, if I work another 20 years at my current salary (not taking into consideration raises), put aside 20% of each paycheck into my savings account, open a Roth IRA and Max deposit annually of 5500 (6500 after 50), plus my pension which I already calculated... By the time I retire, which I'm hoping is in my mid to late 50s, I'll have enough put away to be self sufficient for the rest of my life, and with my variety of retirement funds, not including social security, I'll be able to live comfortably on 80k a year till I die.

It was a lot of math trying to figure this out, but I'll be able to retire with half my life left to live and be able to do whatever the fuck I want. Just 20 more years before I can live the dream.

>Putting money away into a savings account

Please don't do that. Have an emergency fund, in a savings account if you wish, but you should really have the rest of your money in investments/assets. Please head over to /biz/ or MrMoneyMustache investing forum to discuss the matter further.

Also check out Your Money or Your Life and/or Early Retirement Extreme. Imagine each dollar in a savings account/under your mattress as an idle worker, when it could be out there doing work for you.
