The immigration issue is nuanced, so i wouldn't say immigration as a whole idea is bad, but that's for a different blog post.
I currently live in the sprawl of southern california. The best time of my life was spent camping at a monastery, but it wasn't secluded enough for me. My plan is to get a trail work job in the winter (already have it set up essentially), work for a year or two, wwoof for a bit, go to one of those outdoor survival schools, go to a few long vipassana retreats, and then see if i can live a lowkey vagabond life for a while, while still having a few thousand in the bank if it got too sketchy.
My idea is that I keep getting one level further from civilization, if you follow that.
Right now I'm metropolitan, then transition to manual labor in the outdoors, then agriculture, then "hunter-gatherer", at one point.
I'm always down to improvise my plan, but if all goes as planned I'll do that. I'm hoping that through my experience gained (people remember from the trail work/outdoor school, etc. etc. i can get some kind of outdoorsy guide job). I have friends in decent places who can put in a good word, but I would like to spend at least a calendar year essentially off the grid completely after wwoofing.
