Most of these places go and break up shantytowns and do nothing to house their local homeless population, so they don't even want the homeless living in makeshift homes in the city.

I grew up in the exact area where he was living all those years. I was a free range kid, used to spend all my free time way out in the woods all by myself. He used to have multiple campsites and I came across a few of his old ones, he moved around a lot but never left the general area. Not many people actually knew he was out there until he got caught, everyone knew there was a serial burglar around but they never stole anything but food, alcohol/tobacco and the occasional saw or axe, felt like it was someone who was mainly stealing things they needed rather than wanted so it never became a public outrage. I remember reading about it in the paper and being absolutely shocked and creeped out because I realized that for my entire childhood, I wasn't as alone in those woods as I thought I was.

I work in the Geography/GIS sector and I am in this type of field for a living. This guy was living in a state park essentially. This is protected land. He wasn't just 'living in the woods' and the government cracked down on him for that. This land is protected for several reasons. It could have a protected wildlife habitat or one that is used for study to prevent further damage to the environment, it could be to ensure that natural resources are protected as well. It also helps to produce clean air and water as much as possible as those resources are shrinking at an alarming rate. So many ecosystems have been removed and destroyed and protecting these lands are vital. I'm absolutely all for his idea. It's a sustainable way of living if I'm being realistic and honest. More land should open up so people can do that. So it might seem counterintuitive that I'm saying this. Why its bad that it's happening on any national parks/state parks land is because those ecosystems are managed and protected in a way that they can thrive, survive, and hopefully replenish what was once lost.

Lol

I follow this young man, he is a fantastic young man. This younger generation should take some notes!! For a young lad he is pretty old school and almost speaks and acts like an older more experienced respectful soul.... all in the best of ways. Polite, greatful, hard working and willing to put in some elbo grease with little to no fear of failure and picking himself back up from mistakes. Even with complete failure he owns his mistakes, takes it on the chin regroups and starts all over again! His journey is inspiring and he adores and takes good care of his best mates(pups) This kids got my respect. I genuinely wish him the very best and plenty of success on his continued journey.

Whats so sad is he is having to start over again for the third time

love that dude's honesty, someone get this dude his own TV show or something.

I love this guy. He has a great attitude. His parents should really be proud of what he accomplished.

Should definitely do a follow up interview with the new crap shoot he’s going through. Dude can’t catch a break but somehow looking on the upside of everything

The fact that hes doing the same thing again, only up in the mountains, half buried in snow, makes this story even better

Ngl, that makeshift cabin is pretty dope. But also, that was dumb to give his own location away via a rap song xD

Portland - You can live on the streets but not in the woods

His update is on new land he had permission to build on. He came crazy far. Super dope channel and dude.

The sad fact is; If he didn't film any of this he would still be able to live there. If you want to do this then DON'T RECORD OR FILM AND SHOW EVERYONE!!

what powered his charging and studio though? I didn't hear any generators so I"m gessing solar? but how many solar panels does one need to keep equipment running properly?

Idk why but I admire this dude for building his own cabin and living in the woods. He was living the life I dreamed of.

I got way more respect for that young man than I do 90% of these kids nowadays with the way they act on TikTok. At least he’s trying and not complaining about money left and right. Way more respect for that young man.

I really hope his case goes well and I’m certain he could crowd source some money for the fine. He’s really charming and likable and I hope he continues to live a fun life. Love people like this

He got like a 300 dollar fine, had to put the land back to normal, and banned for all army engineer land for two years. He now lives in the woods on a mountain. The owner invited him down and gave him permission to build.

He’s a likable guy so he’ll be successful at whatever he does next. He couldn’t have said it better when he said he wanted to get comfortable with uncomfortable. It’s good to do that and i have respect for him for doing it. The wood is I responsible and the skunk is problematic but i mean shit that doesn’t make him a bad guy. There plenty of worse things he could be doing with his time. I wish the dude luck.

He rebuilt, and now he has to move again. His is a great channel. I'd like to see him get his own land so he can get settled in without anyone telling him to move.

Bro thank you for shouting him out you are truly a good person

"A TikToker left society" That math ain't mathing

I felt same way and if I ever hit lottery I wouldn’t buy mansions I would buy me land and secluded cabin 😂❤

The reason i love this story, is because i actually knew this guy. Amazing energy, super kind dude.

I love that kid! He’s such a hard worker, super smart, great rapper, dog lover

Honestly, seems like a dude I could actually hangout with. Nothing but respect

It depends on the land and who owns it, like federal land - the government body, or state land - owned by state. Those divisions decide how to use the land, what should be protected, and what should be sold to build giant concrete slabs for launching rockets into space so they can explode. That's an issue texas folks are dealing with, since texas is sort of run by an oil empire and abbott wants to win that space race with daddy elon. But some of this natural fed and state owned land is protected, for conservation of course, native species and especially the vegetation - which can be in danger due to invasive weeds competing for space to grow, or plants which have roots and fibers which produces a toxin that prevents the native species from growing. It would also be problematic for native predators who need to roam that territory searching for food or taking care of their young, because humans eat everything, and our presence impedes on their capacity to hunt and forage successfully. And of cucking fourse we would have incidents of animals killing these yoyos, because... humans are kind of annoying.

This will vary dependent upon which land class he tampered with and what the chiefs or directors of said land class determines for severity of which rules were broken besides the 14 day rule. There is a sovereign law that goes back to the 1700's that should be reworked but nobody cares. He was there for mother earth and himself. He should walk free from guilt and fines. He should clean and protect the land; this is what he already does. Man\Women have consumed wild animals for eons. It was only until population turned into billions and recently in the past 110 years that we are forced with selective products from stores while wild game is considered a crime, taxed, licensed and of course highly protected in some land classes. Depending on land class and directors of said; they might just let him go freely with land cleaning, but if there is big news; they might want him to take down all content pertaining to this. So, the hype may ruin the deal.

So people can pitch a tent on a sidewalk in the way of the public, yet make a home in the woods out of the way of people, and there's hell to pay?!?

The bears snitched on him for keeping them up all night rapping.

definitely a story to tell his kids. they gonna think he was born during the cave man days lol

I kinda did this at 8-11 years old in rural MI. My brother and I would build tree forts, just hang out, and convene with nature... It can be incredibly healing, and humbling, too! Our dad taught us a lot at such a young age we felt more at home beneath or in pines, walnut, cottonwood, and Oak trees. Recently, I was kinda forced to move to this violent, and soul-crushing city where I feel like I'm a prisoner in my own home. I'm thankful I have a roof over my head but I feel detached from this place, and those around me. My soul craves the stillness of the forest and rural areas. But I can keep whining about it or get to work to save up $$ to finally buy a house far away from here.

“Get comfortable with uncomfortable” David Goggins approves.

Yooooo, I seen him at the gas station in Lowell lmao. He is correct as it is on Corps of Engineer land surrounding by a dam. I also I see folks hiking around the area. I hope nothing happens to him cause his story is awesome.

I love how Atozy went out of his way to interview the guy

He should have put the tent up in the city and got food by strong-arm shoplifting from stores and crapped in the streets. Then they'd leave him alone. How dare he be out in the woods not bothering anyone.

Well with the homeless apocalypse on that coast the woods are probably the only place people cant just sit down and live

this guy seems really honest and good at heart i dont see why they should be giving him a hard time

He left tht spot better than it was when he showed up and has now went to a different location and is continuing it. Fun channel to watch

It would've been funny as hell if he had one of them doormats that reads "COME BACK WITH A WARRANT. 🚫👮‍♂️🚫

"they just pulled up on your property?" dude... it's not his property... that's the issue.
