For anyone thinking it's wrong to take saplings from the forest, most, or all, of those saplings will die from lack of sunlight because of the taller trees overshadowing them. New growth in the middle of a forest doesn't usually survive more than a few years, before they grow to a point where the minimal sunlight they receive is no longer enough to keep them alive, so they die, and you end up with a lot of dead standing trees that add fuel if there is a forest fire.
My idea is to live alone in the forest that already exists. There is public land no one goes but if they find me I could be removed. I will love in an rv so I can change my location
