I didn't get this drastic about it because my resources were more limited, but I definitely went "gently caress the system" and hit the road after college. I ended up doing seasonal work most of the year and road tripping for the months in between. I kept it up for a few years until I got homesick enough that it wasn't fun anymore. It was an amazing experience. A little advice: the world is full of institutions that throw really hurfy tantrums about you not having a permanent address. As long as they're cool with it, having you and/or your lady's parents bundle your mail and fedex the important stuff to you periodically will save a lot of grief versus trying to explain to a bank or the DMV that you live a nomadic existence.

California wilderness forests have bears and mountain lions, but the deserts are pretty well barren. There isn't much that's any bigger or more dangerous than snakes or coyotes. Mountain lions aren't unheard of, but still pretty unlikely. The coyotes know that campsites mean food but they spook easily; I've never in my life known a coyote to not high-tail it as fast as they can from a shout or a flashlight. Having a gun in the high desert is just trading one set of highly unlikely dangers for another. Not that people shouldn't be free to make that choice on their own, but it never made much sense to me.
