I imagine federal lands cost money to maintain as do bodies of water good for fishing so if you're not paying taxes, you're using resources you didn't put some money towards maintaining.

Go to Russia's immense land mass for wilderness.

Correction: federal lands cost money to secure with illegitimate property claims against the common person. The land maintained itself for billions of years before the "United States of America" existed. The state did not homestead the land so they have no legitimate claim to restrict access to others who might.  But please continue with your insufferable state worship.

If in fact federal land maintenance does not cost anything, I stand corrected. I must ask then are there examples of people living in "the wilderness" that incurred the wrath of the authorities?

I wonder, how did people hunt and fish before "The United States of America" came in to being? 

With no regard to how their activities might impact the environment? Not that it mattered then as much as it does now: the US today hosts hundreds of millions of people, many more than what I figure there was before the 1770s.

You aren't forced to pay taxes. You could go live out in the wilderness away from the infrastructure paid for by taxes.

Uh, this just isn't true. 

They will find a way to get their money.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this video had much, if anything, to do with taxes.
