Don't ask where I am, cause I ain't all there yet, but I will be... Someday ... ... ... ... ... .:lol:
I ain't no charity case, thank you very much. In fact I still manage to give to charity a little bit, even though I'm broke (or at least the IRS thinks I am). Flea markets are much better - unlicensed P2P capitalism at the grassroots level!
Not necessarily.

Dude. You probably cultured a staph infection in that gruel. Staphylococcus can kill you. Wiki it.
It was one of the most disgusting and humiliating things that can happen to a human being - so naturally I wanted to write about it publicly ASAP. :D
I feel a lot better now. My digestive system is usually rock-solid. This is the first time anything similar has happened to me, and the cause of it is obvious. It was a stupid mistake, first cooking too much and then not eating it quickly enough. If something similar happens to me again in the near future then I'll definitely go to a doctor.
I actually have a refrigerator here that I don't use. The first thing you need to understand about off-the-grid living is that electric power is finite. I can run my computer + lights + rice cooker + air conditioning (single room) OR an electric heater (no gas here), but if I want turn on anything else then I have to turn something off first. If I want to boil water, I must turn off pretty much everything else. You get the idea. A fridge is an unnecessary luxury for an off-the-grid vegan, especially up north. Eventually I'll wind up in a better trailer with a better power system and a humongous greenhouse - that is going to be awesome!
In response to a private message referencing this thread:
I am already aware of bitcoins (http://www.bitcoin.org/) and their potential use as an underground agorism currency, thank you.
Also I'm an "open source" / "RealNamesPlease (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=24155)" tax resister, so there's no need to PM - the Feds already know everything (or at least they think they do). ;)
People on the Internet are getting dumber! In the early 1990s only über-geeks like me knew how to use it.

How can you have a trailer in the woods without paying any sort of taxes on it?

You can't.
The best you can do is have a completely clandestine, off-grid residence, but you'll still have to pay taxes on the "unimproved" acreage.
Can I live on it? Building a structure on your mining claim simply for recreation or purposes other than mining is illegal. All buildings, equipment, fences, signs, roads, any man made changes on the mining claim, must be reasonably incident to mining. To build on a gold mining claim, you must first obtain a permit from the federal agency managing the surface, for example, the USFS or BLM.

Are there taxes or any kind of annual dues I have to pay in order to keep my gold mining claim in good standing? Annual taxes are due and payable, in States where applicable, to the Tax Collectors Office by the end of August. Typically, they will send you an assessment on your property(ies) in the spring followed by a bill they will send to you in July each year. If you don't hear from them, it is still your responsibility as the claimant to be aware of your possible tax liabilities each year, contact the Tax Collectors office, and meet your annual tax requirements. Your annual taxes are based on their total dollar assessment of your property(ies) for which they charge you approximately 1% in taxes.
The BLM also requires an annual maintenance fee of $140 to satisfy assessment requirements for your claim(s). If you own less than 10 mining claims, actual labor can be performed to qualify as assessment required. You're never billed or notified by the BLM. It is your sole responsibility to meet this annual requirement when it is due, or you will lose your mining claim.
In the 1980s I was a kid living in Moscow, lucky to have a color TV with 5 channels...

I'm loving every bit of it.
You're seriously an inspiration.
A good tax resister shouldn't get haircuts or shave. I'm sure we'll see some norse viking style pictures in the future.
I think it is quite easy to cut your hair tax free.This is true, I've done it for the past few years now, but I found it easier to just stop.
I grew my hair very long once, and it was a hassle. Hair soaks in and amplifies BO. More difficult to wash, more difficult to dry, more difficult to brush, more difficult to keep from drains and stuff, etc. So I keep it a lot shorter now - no big deal. Haven't paid for a haircut in about 2 years.
