Mr Pike built the hut from clay he found at the site, kitted it out with solar panels, and constructed an outdoor shelter with a seating area and cooking facilities.
Yeah, you got to save up for the initial investment of your own land. There are even lots of rural lands that offer owner financing if you can't save up the big chunk of money to get you started. A lot of rural\remote properties have been on the market for years and the owners are willing to make a deal.
Heck, a better option would have been to ask around to live on someone's back 40 while you help them out with chores on their homestead.
You can "live" on public lands indefinitely if you stay on the move and don't build permenant structures. It's called camping. I know some people who live in some pretty beautiful areas all summer right along rivers in a wall tent. The wall tent is portable so it's allowed, they know better than to try and build anything permenant. Every year people do try to build illegal cabins out in the bush. The Feds/State will fly over, find them, condemn them, and then burn them to the ground.
He doesn't own the land. He was nothing more than a trespasser. In a decent society he would have been shot.
I don't mind if a rat has a nest on my property, but it's intolerable when a human builds one.
JC dude, for public land. I agree that he shouldn't of done it because it was inevitably was going to be found and destroyed. Yet he wasn't hurting anyone. I love Wyoming, but ****. I'll have to watch out the next time I visit, I must have got the wrong vibe when I was there.

No you can't.
All National Forests have a stay limitation based on one stay and a yearly STAY limitation.
BLM lands are similar. EXCEPT BLM does have the Long-Term Visitor Areas in California and Arizona.
Once you stay more than 14 days on Federal land your license number and location will probably be noted and you will be asked to move IF you cause a problem or other campers want to camp there.
State lands vary, but most states are more restrictive than Federal managed lands.
Call the local BLM or Forest Service office for more information.

This articke refers to someone living in the UK. As in, Great Britain. As in, England.
I realize those are all different things, but none of our laws here in the US apply to them.

I'm not advocating that living on public lands is a good idea or that I agree with it. I do believe that if someone wanted to do a lot of dispersed camping (not campgrounds) on national forest lands, BLM and state lands and they moved around a lot, as in to completely different national forests/states/etc, that there would be no law preventing them from doing a whole lot of camping. I'm talking about tenting it and being on the move, not setting up in one area for long periods of time and building structures.
There are many "boondockers" out west that move around a lot and pretty much do something similar to what I stated above, without problems.
For their sake, the powers that be ask them to move along if there's complaints or problems and don't shoot on sight .
