It is not every day that we get to read about people who have done things that none of us can even think of doing. But, today is going to be that day for anyone who decides to read further.

1The Man Who Quit Money To Live life

We are talking about this man, who consciously chose to walk away from money in the year 2000. Daniel Suelo gave up all his life’s savings- $30 and walked into a life where he would not use money at all. He went to live in the wilderness of the American Southwest and made the desert of Moab, Utah his home.

Leaving the $30 he had, in a phone booth, Seulo just left off, to live a life close to nature in the autumn of 2000. Not only that; he actually even changed his legal name from Shellabarger, to Suelo, which means ‘soil’, in Spanish and also threw away his driving license and passport. He pays no taxes and doesn’t take any of the food stamps or government dole.

After leaving the civilization as we all know it, Suelo lived in the outdoors and caves, camped in the wilderness, stayed in different communes and used to spend nights in stranger’s homes. For many years, he lived in a cave which was around 200 feet wide and 50 feet tall on the edge of the cliff at the Arches National Park of Utah. He actually carved a bed from the rock and used to drink from the springs, foraged for food and bathed in a creek.

Most of his food basically included wild onions and mulberries, road-killed squirrels and raccoons, expired groceries and meals cooked by friends and strangers. Take a look at the things that he used while living in the cave.

Any hiker, who would come to that cave, was free to use anything he had. He says that they were allowed to rest there, eat whatever he had and read his books because that is how he has been living ever since he started to really live.
