Not true.

Don't you think that by running away but continuing to obey the rules of society, you haven't run away from society? See the article that OftenBen linked. Read about Grizzly Man (Timothy Treadwell). Read that article that was just posted the other day about the guy that "Into The Wild" is based on.

Why continue to follow the laws of society if you are trying to escape it? Why would breaking rules such as -living in 'public' forests (which effectively don't exist; you have to pay to officially camp in like, every state/national forest I'm aware of) and -obtaining the permission of people who 'own' land matter to someone who doesn't want to be a part of, and in fact is attempting to escape, the society that created those rules?

    to renounce the system that we're born into without a choice is to put our very existence at risk

It's like...Hmmm. Maybe that system is there to ensure our existence and that's why defying it risks it
