Meet the man who has voluntarily lived with NO money for over a decade and slept in a cave for years

There are hundreds of thousands of homeless people who are forced to sleep outdoors and dine out of dumpsters – far fewer live like this by choice.

Daniel Suelo is one of them and for the last twelve years he has been penniless on purpose, surviving off the land.

After a stay in the Canada wilderness Suelo renounced living with money, left his last $30 dollars in a phone booth and moved to Moab, Utah.

As well as quitting cash, he threw away his passport and driving license and changed his legal name, Shellabarger, to Suelo, Spanish for ‘soil’.

Ever since then Suelo has lived outdoors, camped in the wilderness, lived in caves, stayed in communes and spent nights in stranger’s homes, who may have picked him up as a hitch-hiker.

For several years Suelo set up home in a cave, two hundred feet across and fifty feet tall, on the edge of a cliff in the Arches National Park, Utah.

Here he carved a bed out of rock, foraged for food, drank from springs and bathed in a creek.
