Of all the dumb things you’ve said, this is the dumbest. I bet serious money you’ve never lived in any of these areas, and just because less people live there doesn’t mean no one would notice you setting up a farmstead on their property and either call the sheriff or enforce their rights themselves.
Not to mention the government wanting their taxes or permits and throwing you in jail once they got wind of anything.

They’re an awesome company and one I highly suggest supporting with a paid account
