I wonder if he behaves like that offline. If so, I'm surprised he's still able to type; I'd think someone would have gotten sick of listening to his know-it-all stereotyping and broken all of his fingers already.

Being a ghost to the government. Living under the radar. Staying on the move. Being as free as free can get in today’s society. Dropping out of society. No taxes. No Job. Minding your own business and expecting the rest of the world to do the same. Hey Rose, our forefathers founded this nation on lies and broken treaties! They didn't "found" the country, they invaded it and stole it and raped it... and are still doing it! As for all the hunters out there... I have found the best way to go off the grid is to become a vegetarian RV nomad. I've been meat free since 1995 and am tons healthier than I was back in my younger day, plus, I don't have to worry about hunting and skinning and all that mess. I'm a lazy bastard and truth is, that's just too much work. As an RV nomad, weather isn't a problem either. I winter down south, summer in the rockies, and stay one step ahead of big brother!

No property taxes. There are such places. I have plans to buy some remote land, hopefully 20 acres or more (dont want to give away location) with much timber. Then build a cabin off the land. Use wood for cooking and heat. Hunt and fish for some food. Grow garden, can food, have cellar, and later on maybe even a green house, and have natural spring for good water. Have enough supplies and food in the beginning to get started and then hopefully later have the skills and system down to replenish off the land. Hope to be away from roads, with only access by atv or boat or hiking. Might also consider solar, wind, or hydro power for some appliances, indoor plumbing, etc. But thats not a must. Anyway, I believe there is going to be a day in the near future when major problems, like shortages on electricity, oil, and fuel, and problems with water and food sanitation, desease, etc. And ofcourse just being out with nature, away from hoards of people and noise will be nice, and healthier. It won't be easy, especially at first. But you can bet I'll be enjoying life much more than I do now. I’ll add in another consideration. No property taxes. There are such places.

Oh and learning how to make beer. =o)> plan to soon with 2 friends. maybe a little prospecting. But i guess it would have to be on government land and we would have to move around a little. I dont think you can erect a permanent shelter on government land, though that may vary by state. tent or tipi in the middle of the woods. gun and fishing gear.
