Freedom's just a word today, freedom's just a word
When someone takes your word away, it's seldom ever heard
So take a sentence full of things you're not supposed to say
Carry on, but don't write 'em down, or you'll be gone

The day of my ETS. Not first getting out, but also end of IRR status. Draft will almost never come simply because of the people on IRR with qualifications and money paid into them already. Before that I could be sent anywhere at almost any point.

Had an exceptionally annoying stretch at work and had some vacation time.
I drove 18 hours to the boundary waters in northern minnesota, then canoed/portaged about 12/13 hours to a lake in the middle of fricking nowhere. No cell signal, no email.
Dog and I spent a week there fishing for lake trout. Didn’t see a soul.
Then I canoed/portaged back out and met my brother and some friends for a long weekend at a campground near an entry point.
That was a good time.

Geeked up on coke and drunk at 2 am with 2 chicks in bikinis shooting tracer rounds at the river off the bridge to see them ricochet

If we are being completely honest probably being a 10yr old in 1999 with a bike, a BB gun, a football, and a dad who locked me and my brother out of the house until dinner.

My wife and I went skydiving this past weekend. Thought I was ready....but I wasn't! I highly recommend it!

We did a dude ranch vacation once in northern Colorado, high desert country for the most part. On the last day, I went on an all-day ride. To limber up the horses, we went through a couple of gullies, then entered a small canyon. When we emerged from the canyon, I looked around. You could see to the horizon in every direction, and there was absolutely nothing in sight that would tell you what century you were in. There was a time in this country when, with a few obtainable items, like a horse, a gun, and a bedroll, you could just take off and be totally on your own. It was dangerous for sure, but then freedom always is. But it was possible, once upon a time in America.

It be entirely possible to live that way today with added benefit of it being much safer. You wouldn't need a gun today. You also wouldn't need a horse...the damned things are a lot like a farm, its questionable who owns who. I see folks sleeping on bedrolls under stars all over Atlanta every night. They mostly do not have a care in the world other than where their next fix is coming from or the police coming along and rousting them out of their slumber. The latter doesn't happen often. It is entirely possible to be about as free as anyone has ever been right here in the USA if you are willing to sleep under a bridge....the freest among us is the bum without a care in the world except where to find a meal, a fix and somewhere to sleep....and the streets are awash with opportunity for all three....

My answer is summers in college. I'd take bullshite classes and still got a stipend from my parents. Bars weren't as crowded, but the quality of the people I found better. No responsibilities besides 1 class a day. Leave that class and go straight to the pool every day. Leave the pool and go straight to a bar. Best time of my life.
So true. I usually spent most summers at LSU doing a class and/or a student job that was easy hours, really just something to do during the day getting off early. Definitely a different world with tons of fun. And it was also cool at the end of the summer as friends would start tricking in for the fall semester and every night was a rager.

A few years ago I accepted a new job, and took one month break before starting. Watched my work email account disappear from my phone, and headed to the beach for the 4th of July. It was probably the most free I’d felt since I was 10 years old. It still kind of messes with me from time to time.

probably on a solo walk to this tiny village in the middle of nowhere Italy. Beautiful place a half hour north of Arezzo

When on a road trip on my motorcycle and riding in the mountains, especially the Rockies where there are big sweepers at altitude and the scenery changes quite often.
The sweepers allow me to take in the sights and keep a good roll going as opposed to all the hairpin turns in the roads of the Smokies and Ozarks where you really have to keep an eye on the road more often so you stay on the road.
Riding my bike in those situations is what I call "Two wheel therapy".

What's the closest you've ever felt to complete freedom
That was 12 years ago.
I've never felt more free in my life...
