Has anyone tried the "run away from society and live in the woods" meme? I made several attempts to do it but each time had to abandon it for fear of getting caught.
- First attempt - checked out the woods near my house (I often went there as a kid) until I ran into a "trespassers will be prosecuted - you're on camera" sign. Found this in many other places nearby.
- Tried finding a spot in a park after I read the story of the guy in London who lived in a park for years. But found it too risky with all the people who visited and patrolling park rangers.
- Went in some real deep woods that had no signs, brought backpack with gear planning to build a shelter. Thought no way anyone will find me in here. Then encountered a hunter and nearly pissed myself, told them I got lost then ran out of there. Happened twice.
- Last attempt - found some woods that was owned by a real estate investor, so thought no one would be hunting in it. I spent a few months making regular trips to it, clearing vegetation, planting a garden and digging a hole for my shelter. Then put up a fence for my garden since deer kept eating it. I think that made someone notice it who came and destroyed everything. I came back a couple months later to collect the tools I had left, and the whole area had been cleared.
