The problem is the only way to not participate is to die. Which I guess is what I'm doing, very slowly.
I just live in national forest and blm land. My only participation is purchasing supplies every 2 weeks.
How do you afford the supplies
Currently savings. I'm eligible for unemployment but haven't applied. I can live off $100/mo. But a little more luxury is like $500/mo max. And that's for gas to travel further and buying food instead of going to food banks. But food bank food is way better and healthier than what I would buy.
