As of Thursday I’ll have about $300.00 to my name, that’s about it. $98.00 it will cost to travel to reach my destination. That means roughly I’ll have about $200.00 left afterwards to survive off of from the end of September this year to about mid March of next year. Still, even more I will need $70.00 to rent out a P.O. box so that way I can cash in on my tax returns next year which I’ve estimated will be anywhere between $5000.00-$6000.00
So, I have about $130.00 to survive off of the next six to seven months.
Ten years of trying to win a losing battle that is impossible to achieve victory in. I’m smart enough to know when the cards are stacked against me. Now I am just going to wait for the house of cards to collapse on itself. I am removing myself from the game until the playing field is levelled out. When that happens I will come out of my seclusion for better or for worse.
Yes, winter is coming. I’ll either succeed or die trying in this venture of mine.
It will take all of my skills combined to survive this winter without adequate supplies. My goal next year in the spring is to make a hidden bushcraft makeshift shed to survive out for the next several years. Essentially I’ll be illegally squating on government controlled land. I’m going the Kaczynski route of surviving off the land only without property ownership.
Where I am going the winters are much more mild compared to where I previously lived. Temperatures don’t drop under 25 degrees compared to the other location where average temperatures were -40 degrees. So, I got that going for me in my favor.
I don’t have the time, money, or resources anymore to wait it out in my current location. Sadly all of this has to be a sort of sporadic in the moment kind of scenario where I am going to have to make up things as I go along. I will have to be very creative between now and spring.
No, I’m a realist and I know when I’ve been beat! Not in every situation is there always a way out. Yes, sometimes there are no win scenarios where no level of optimism will change any of that. Still, if I survive to spring I’ll be alright. I have ideas where to get food from. Between now and spring my only concern will be food or water along with shelter.
I will not say where my location will be for obvious reasons, I will say it is on the outskirts of a small city I grew up in where I’ll have supplies if I need them along with an area to salvage and scavenge any tools or resources I need over a period of time. I am very familiar with the area and landscape so this is a net plus overall.
More like forced and in the coming years as the United States along with the world descends into chaos I won’t be alone for very long doing this. If anything I am going to have a head start on everybody else!
