      It is a danger to to the system if people drop out of society, anything that threatens the system is labeled as terrorism. Nothing scares the system more then people deciding to live by their own means as a free man, that’s why they make it illegal to do so. They think they own us and that we are their slaves. Evil world we live in

      @@redditor7548 i know. you are forced to slave yourself out to them. you are forced to pay taxes, mow your lawn and everything. just living is illegal if you dont pay them. where do you get money? you must work. you cannot stop working! gotta keep them slave busy! i realized this when i was 8-10yo. you cannot just "live" freely by yourself doing your own thing. the land is all owned, you cannot fetch or grow your own food without paying somebody something. you cannot even shit in a hole, they'll say you need a proper septic system that cost 50,000$.
      money is a tool to enslave people.there is even interest rate and stuff on the money, so people cannot just "own" and use money. they will one day have to get more and more money from those who MAKE the money.

    Most people will never understand why there are some of us that aspire to live differently, or do the unthinkable- actively choose to reduce the comfort and ease of our lives. The world is now plastic, and our thoughts are becoming plastic. I want to live a deliberate, genuine, authentic life, as was done for a hundred thousand years before me. The FBI requires the system for life, it can no more reject it than a man can reject the beating of his own heart.

Considering they had better ways of knowing you didn't pose much danger, asking a close family member if you have terrorist leanings seems terrible. You're also miles away from any piece of road, I doubt they wouldn't be able to stop you had you wanted to bomb something.

      Here you go brother, directly from the CCC:
      Legitimate defense
      2263 The legitimate defense of persons and societies is not an exception to the prohibition against the murder of the innocent that constitutes intentional killing. "The act of self-defense can have a double effect: the preservation of one's own life; and the killing of the aggressor.... the one is intended, the other is not."
      2264 Love toward oneself remains a fundamental principle of morality. Therefore it is legitimate to insist on respect for one's own right to life. Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow:
      If a man in self-defense uses more than necessary violence, it will be unlawful: whereas if he repels force with moderation, his defense will be lawful.... Nor is it necessary for salvation that a man omit the act of moderate self-defense to avoid killing the other man, since one is bound to take more care of one's own life than of another's.
      2265 Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for someone responsible for another's life. Preserving the common good requires rendering the unjust aggressor unable to inflict harm. To this end, those holding legitimate authority have the right to repel by armed force aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their charge.
      Deo Gratias

      No taxes 💪🏻 No property tax because I'm squatting in the national forest and no income tax because I'm below the poverty threshold and get paid in cash anyway. Much love my friend hope you are doing great!

    Hey man unrelated to the FBI but wondering if you have a plan Incase you come in or potentially come in contact with Rabies out there? Incase a bat or other woodland creature was to bite you. It's a nasty way to go if you don't get help fast.

      I mean you just need to hike it out, go to the hospital and get a rabies vaccine within a few days of bite. Before symptoms start.

    Aghh yes. I felt as if this was coming because of the similarities between Uni and your lifestyle. The FED's only meet a few people as you so they probably wanted to know more about your beliefs. Proper protocol to investigate someone that fits a certain belief set and stands out. At least they didn't discriminate or find a reason to bring the heat on you. I'm sure they will keep their eye on you and you'll be in a case database that people might use to understand hermits one day. Be safe and be well XD

    Hey I'm just wondering how did you build your house, and how do you keep it warm during the winter? I'm curious because I didn't see a wood stove but I may be blind and if so how do you store your tinder for the winter? and what do you do for food? Is it legal to just build a little place in a national park or are you on someone's property farther off? I'm wondering how I could pursue this myself.

      - Question (1) "How did you build your house?"
      If you look back at one of my older videos you'll see one called "building my place" that kind of shows the process. I built this place using dead-wood (branches that fell from the trees and I collected) and I built it in the style of a shed-roof trapper's tilt. A good book that will give you tons of ideas is called Shelters, Shacks and Shanties by D.C. Beard.
      - Question (2) "How do you keep warm?"
      I keep warm with a 0° sleeping bag, an extra fleece blanket, socks and my cast iron firepit! My best advice would be to line your sleepingbag with a blanket and build a stone floor. It reflects the heat right back at you, it actually gets so hot in here with the fire going that sometimes I need to step outside. And in the summer the stone stays ice cold, which is great since it has gotten above 120°f/49°c a couple times recently!
      - Question (3) "What do you do for food?"
      For food I eat just like you do, I go to the store! I garden, can-pickle, forage, collect gooseberries and elderberries and nettle to add variety and extra vitamins and minerals and antioxidants, but the main part of my diet comes from what I buy at the general store in town (pasta, canned ham, smoked sausage, seal-packaged tuna and salmon, etc) and my money comes from doing labor on horse ranches in the farm communities.
      - Question (4) "Is it legal to build a little place in a national park or are you on someone's property?"
      It's highly illegal, I'm risking a $1000 fine just for "erecting an illegal dwelling". But you only get in trouble if you get caught ;) And even then, goodluck making a poor man pay a fine!
      Take care brother 👊🏻🏚

    Hey kidda, I hope you are well, would be really interested to know how your hut is holding up. I can offer some advice on repairs if you need any as I used to work in property maintenance.
