You would need to own the land, or arrange a lease with the owner. Otherwise you're trespassing and that can result in arrest or being shot. I'm not saying that you can't do this (there are people living in remote portions of national parks), but there can be severe downsides. Like ending up like Christopher McCandless.

- mindslight 11y agoLiving in a US national park (on land you don't own) would be illegal. Rangers also seem hyper-paranoid about remote areas being used for drug cultivation. I believe national forests have a technical time limit on how long you can stay there. Maybe BLM land?
- chiph 11y agoDruggies could be a problem - there are stories of booby-traps and tripwires laid by the growers to protect their crops. So you certainly don't want to stumble across one. The only BLM land I personally know of is in Nevada/Arizona/New Mexico, and you can't really grow anything on it (it's desert). Looks like there's also land in eastern Oregon, Idaho, Utah, etc. so if you can tolerate cold winters... http://www.blm.gov/or/about/images/landsmap-large.gif http://www.blm.gov/or/about/images/landsmap-large.gif Even on BLM land, someone is eventually going to stop by and pay a visit to see what you're up to.
