It's called "Marketing", our country like European countries have lived on the system for centuries. Nothing you can do about it other than except that fact or crawl under a rock.
I guess we could do like Sylvan Ambrose "Buckskin Bill" Hart. Build a in an area like his on the Five Mile Bar of the Salmon River on the River of No Return Wilderness. He had a heads-up being half our ages.
A LITTLE HISTORY ON THIS MAN FOR THOSE THAT NEVER HEARD OF HIM -
His life span (May 10, 1906 – April 29, 1980) was among the last of the real mountainmen in the western US. The oldest of six children born in Camargo in the Indian Territory, one year before it became Oklahoma.
He purchased fifty acres (1928) of land at Five Mile Bar for one dollar where he built a compound that included a two-story house, blacksmith shop, a stone turret, and a bomb shelter. The defensive structures reflected his sense of continual threat from the federal government, which peaked in 1956 when Howard Zahniser's Wilderness Act threatened to designate the Five Mile section of the Salmon River as a non-habitable Primitive Area, and he was in danger of being evicted. He farmed, hunted and fished for survival, and made his own guns, weapons, clothing and tools.
A lifelong bachelor, Hart died of natural causes at age 73 at his home in 1980. His funeral was held in Grangeville and he was buried at his home at Five Mile Bar. His compound has been preserved as "The Buckskin Bill Museum".
This guy had the guts to stand up to whoever messed with him. For most that's something they can't do "they talk the talk but can't walk the walk".
