I Want To Live In The Wild

Seriously. i do. I want to walk away from society and start a new one. people say things like "oh its a free country". but is it really?
I live in England. I don't feel free.

If i want to go camping somewhere. I have to pay. If I went and set up a tent somewhere and was caught, it would be classed as trespassing and id be in trouble. all land here is owned by someone.

if i want to eat, i have to go to the shops and buy what they have on offer. usually has a bunch of crap added to it. if i want to grow my own food. I have to own land to do it. if i want to hunt...well I cant, that's illegal without paying a land owner to shoot on their land and then paying for the kill. or, again i have to own my own land.

Freedom isn’t free, you have to work for it. and even then you'll not really be free. Most people wont even earn enough their entire lives when you include bills and day to day living.

in a land where a man cant live off of his own whit with out being arrested, this isn't freedom. its slavery. going to work for 40 hours per week, doing the same repetitive thing over and over again every day for the best part of your life isn't freedom. its an illusion. they removed the physical chains, but they're still there.

there are a lot of other reasons I don't see my self as free either which I wont go into as I don't want this post to get too long.

Everyone believes it all too. If you step away and say your opinions on the matter. Youre classed as a nut case. If you say you don't want to work 40 hours a week for the rest of your life youre a lazy scum bag. Everyone keeps each other in line.

Who is this system serving? Not me that's for sure!

Well I have a plan. I want to leave for ever. This society isnt going to change any time soon thats for sure. I want to walk away from it. And I want to take like minded people with me. We’ll be like the frontier men of old in search of new lands.

Im not saying I want to leave technology behind and live a super basic life. no. im all for an easy life. I want to get a boat. Pack it with gear, equipment. Solar panels, satalite internet and I want to set sail with a close knit crew in search of a desert island. One that uninhabited, but workable, liveable. Im not saying it wont be hard work. It will. But we’ll be doing it for us, for future generations, we wont be making the rich richer. Im not suggesting a commune either before anyone pipes up. we’ll help each other sure. But everyone does their own thing they look out for them selves first and others second. Communism falls apart over something as simple as “who does the dishes tonight”? I Say, do your own damn dishes! See what im saying?

we’ll never disclose our location as someone in power somewhere will want to stop us. We will however upload videos of our progress to places like youtube, to show people our progress and show how life can be. we’ll become the change that deep down we all want. We’ll bring new people over as it grows and evolves. we’ll splinter off to other islands, become other cells, no one person will know where every cell is.

We’ll live free. we’ll do what we want to do everyday. We wont spend the best part of our lives living like a machine. Work, recharge, work, recharge. We wont pay for houses that were barely in for the best part of our lives. We'll spend time doing things that make us happy. We'll spend time with our families, we'll see our kids grow up.

Id like to meet people with this same mind set and make a plan together and execute that plan, ASAP.

That's called a commune. And not to rain on your parade but they rarely work for any length of time for a reason. And that reason is people.

But as a backpacker I dig where you're coming from. I thought England passed a "Right to Roam" ordinance a while ago but I could be wrong.

That's one thing I'll say about the U.S. Unless Trump gets his way we have an amazing national and state park system.

Gear up and head out for a bit dude. Always helps me deal with the very things you're mentioning.

Nah, only in Scotland. But you can't exactly set up for good anywhere or hunt lol but you can camp which is nice

@SuicideScout: Really? Then England needs to get it together. But the fact is that most everywhere you go the land will be "owned" by someone or some thing. That's just our place in history I guess. But a week or two in a tent can help for sure. Happy Trails.
