Tried doing this a couple of years ago..
Squatting on a claim is legal, free & can make reasonable $..
i put together a fucking bus & everything needed, which i've lamented about way fucking enough.
at a bit of a crossroads, here, because i once again have a grub-stake together, and am wondering what to do next...
i have about a 1/2 dozen things i'm thinking of trying to launch;
- try & get a little land not to far from the coast, near a natty forest & park my van & see how long i last..
- go to japan or australia or do some beer in europe.. will probably avoid west africa..
- do a prospecting gig..
- get a small sailboat (25 footish, i guess) .. don't know a fucking *thing* about them, though..
- head down to new mexico for a month or so, & just fucking swim..
- just more or less sit on it, for the moment..
in any case, the main gist is that i can get the claim, but i don't want to work it on my own..
a lot of these fuckers can be found in some pretty beautifull areas..
you can squat for fucking **years**, and people **do**...
i love the woods & what-not, but i'm not a fucking hermit..
this would be major off-grid shit..
a lot of rice, a shitload of tent dwelling & rubber tramping, & not a fuck of a lot of electricity..
most likely pretty far from cities, towns, libraries & major highways..
claims also need to be defended, to a certain extent..
on the up side, if there's communal investment, extended road trips, with a return home base, turn into real possibilities..
anyways.. a thought.
i've dealt with folks saying how down they are for it, only to scag out when it came time to actually do anything..
if anyone is actualy *don* for it.. to head into the woods & work their asses off to get a camp started & to keep it going, let me know.
bow fucking wow wow..
