We have a guy here thats been living in the woods even longer than that.  hes an ex serviceman also.  this story just made me realize i have not seen him since this winter.:(

i first learned of him while on a job driving 10wheeler in 03. he had an agreement with the land owner as well and had been there for years even then. the camp he had set up was so well hidden in the pines it was amazing.

It amazes me people can get away with it so long especially being as old as this guy is(81). It’s gotta be a pretty enjoyable way to live though to me anyways but I’ve always had a fascination of moving into the middle of no where and just living.

It is surprising this day in age.  enjoyable as long as one can get what they need but ya when we get older thats a tough life.   probably why that guys ready to sit there till he rots right  lol  3 hots and a cot as the old saying goes.     

there was another guy in Bellingham ma. that squatted off rt126 for many years until the state finally won a case to remove him. for years they tried and lost somehow.  the amount of shit he had throughout those woods was crazy! it took over three years to clean it all up.

Story has been in the union leader the last few days. 

All the " experts " saying " well ya have to do this and permit that and kiss everyones ass" Or everyone could just turn their head in the other direction , the dude will be dead in 5 yrs or so.
