If National Forests enforce their policy, you can only stay two weeks on a single Forest, then have to move on to another. I met a guy and his son a few summers ago in the John Muir Wilderness, bottom of Dusy Basin, he spent all summer out with his son, hardly had to buy food as bpers gave him their extra food.:) He just camped where Rangers couldn't find him. I don't know what he did about permits, part of the Rangers not knowing he was there I guess.

I've been wanting to disappear for some time now too, getting tired of working or at least a regular schedule. Enjoy yourself, whatever you do.
