Yes I do have a choice to live in this society, I could live alone in the wilderness as stated. But the choices I make are all based on the options I have and the likely outcomes of those choices. Prior to the industrial revolution someone like me would not have been considered a bum. Perhaps I would have been a trapper or something, drifting from town to town trading animal skins & such. Nowadays try going to a liquor store and trading them a dead animal for a six pack, it doesn't work very well. When one was able to traverse this country easily by foot or horse without trespassing on private property or being blocked by fences and freeways, when one could drink from the streams and eat the fish that swam in them, when one could hunt and fish without needing permission from authority, we were not forced to contribute to society for survival, it was a choice to contribute as much as one wanted. Now we have poisoned our water, poisoned our fish, taxed and regulated every aspect of existence, & privatized the land so no one can walk freely or even exist in a space for free. We are forced into civilization for survival and forced into servitude. The lifestyle I live outside is all technically illegal. If you don't own property then you are trespassing on someone else's property. National forest, State forest, BLM land are all isolated pockets of wilderness in this country. Imagine 200 people trying to form an independent wandering self sustaining society on these pockets of land. They would all be arrested for poaching and various other violations of regulation. I'm not saying that everything is pointless and futile, I think it is important to learn primitive skills and keep that knowledge alive. And the more we can hunt and gather and be less dependent on grocery stores and factory farms the better. But currently hunting and gathering generally requires one to be a property owner, a vehicle and gun owner and to still have some source of income. Also I do not think one should have to choose between being a fully employed member of society and being a hermit in the wilderness. Logically with the world being as it is, it makes the most sense for someone like me to live as I do. As a hermit living on the edge of society taking what I need and contributing what I can to individuals and not companies.

If you made longer camping videos you probably could make a living off of doing that alone and wouldn't have to worry about shit people eat them type of videos up
At first seeing your videos I thought you were an idiot...but now I learned whatever your faults you are rather smart. You noticed fish have nerve endings in their mouth...very few people seem aware of that. On the streets for 20 years means you're a good bigger or thief. I'm 71 years old and I think you are very entertaining...thank you for that. I'll keep watching you. I admire your independent spirit.
@@dalehead5397 I've only been on the streets 4 years this time around plus a year or so when I was 19. I appreciate that you kept watching, I know I look & sound like an idiot but that can be deceiving.
I lived the bum life for a while in California. After five years I gave up moved back to Cleveland lol . And got a job house etc . But I respect your life decisions keep on trucking on !!
I want to escape society but I truly know that it's impossible. Still, I'm gonna enjoy my life as best as I can. Thanks for the introspective and interesting videos.
I'm the same in a lot of ways. Also I just applied at a bakery, it seems like one of the few things that doesn't cause immediate harm to those around us.
Keep truckin homie and stay safe. Be happy your free. Lots unhappy people in this world who are tied down to something or someone or just stuck in a rotten situation they can't get out of. Trust me I know. I wish I was out riding right now and sleeping by the tracks at night but not able to do that right now unfortunately.. so best to ya man love the videos!
@@Dang-x6j Thanks, I do enjoy the way I live otherwise I wouldn't do it. I value freedom more than anything. When I filmed this a while back I had been defending the way I live to haters in comments and thinking about why I live the way that I do.
I've really enjoyed your videos on capitalism, respect, and now civilization. I can tell you've thought deeply about these subjects and I find it commendable that you've chosen the lifestyle you live. You did not have a choice when it comes to the society you were born into. When it comes to choosing which place you'd like to occupy in society, even those options are limited (fully employed, hermit, youtuber, alcoholic, etc.). Regardless, I think examining why we've chosen our position in society is important and seldom thought about by most people. I hope you continue making these kinds of videos, I like your alcohol reviews but much prefer you riffing on a big idea. Cheers.
@@ThePacmanAddict Thank you. I know people who like my alcohol reviews might find these too lengthy and serious & the people who like this social commentary may be turned off by my alcohol reviews. But I'm just me, I can be a ridiculous, inarticulate drunk and have deep thoughts at the same time.
I agree with u an this subject, It would be cool if u talk about your fav most influential punk/ metal /whatever bands u like, I'm half punk half metal, but like all kinds of extream underground music, I'd be cool to hear ur take
You have a mad interesting perspective on life and I respect your thoughts and opinions...actually I agree in many ways with what you have to say...to each their own...Take Care...Be well...and keep being you brother...Cheers
It's a world of sharks. But it's hard to change when that's all that we have ever known. Gotta break the cycle we are an entire generation that's only ever known how to live in survival 🏴
@@tylerdouglas480 I travel continuously, sometimes I'm in a town less than 24 hours. So the mission of moving helps me to fight boredom.

@@tylerdouglas480 you gonna keep making videos or trying to get off the streets? You should reupload the videos TH-cam took down or maybe contest why they took them down? IDK surprisingly they've never removed any of my content yet. But sometimes comments disappear I've noticed.

Have you seen Forest Anon? the youtube channel? he's just a normal dude who's gone out into the wilderness and is pretty self sufficient. He still goes back into town, which is a few days hike, a few times a year to stock up on canned food ect. Just thought id mention. I feel the same about wanting to depend less on society and so i'm always looking for ideas even if i dont end up doing them
If you learn to fish you will not only likely have a lot of fun but you could eat high quality fresh fish maybe even every day, just watch a couple youtube videos and you will learn the basics. As for the permits and stuff, That is super annoying how they rob us every chance they get, but I would just fish anyways if I were you man. A permit is worth it however if you are gonna be staying in a state for a little while, they offer day permits and week permits etc for whatever you need. Your a cool dude though man I think you would enjoy fishing and eating fresh from nature
I also reccomend a life straw water filter or some type of camping water filter so that you can drink any water from any source. I’ve tested it and it works great.
@@zacharymcneely6039 I fished when I was a kid so I know it's easy, I have a filter straw I've only needed to use a couple times when I ran out of water, they definitely work, I've heard they might not work if they've gotten frozen ever so I don't know if mine is still good. I generally travel full time and find myself in urban areas and like I said the fish are often polluted. I definitely have been places though where I'm sure that I could fish if chose to stay in those places for longer.
Hey dude. Some of the shit you speak of resonates with me for sure. Seems like you don't let the grass grow under your feet traveling all over the US, east - west. Speaking from experience, if ya wanted to get away from the bullshit civilization ...... which state / town would it be in? Cheers 🍺
It’s not free, it’s bullshit If a person doesn’t want to buy into this monetary system they should be able to go live in the woods and try and provide for themselves as long as they don’t make a total trash heap in the woods. With today’s tech it would be pretty doable to live in the woods. We should still have the homestead act and be able to claim land.

Escaping society doesn't exist until you escape from yourself and frame of mind first. It comes with a lot of sacrifice, and even loneliness at times.
Some of us just don’t work in this type of society and there should be options for those people.
Agree, laziness isn't the issue it's the fucked up mess of opinionated fuckers who think a family eating lunch roadside is an eye soar.
I'm the same in a lot of ways. Also I just applied at a bakery, it seems like one of the few things that doesn't cause immediate harm to those around us.
