I'm sure having a newborn and avoiding a birth certificate is do-able. But is there a way to have a newborn and not be plagued with problems? What about a social security number, are there alternatives? I would appreciate any insight on the topic.

For sure, I was just hoping there was some alternative. I've met people in the backwoods of Alaska that have nor birth cert or SSN, but they were mostly indigenous that could sponge off of government funding, or people who had family businesses and wealth that could be passed to the next generation, and they simply lived as off the grid as possible.
I like this idea... live in the wilderness of Alaska like Dick Proenneke. Get jobs on the fishing boats when needed. They turn the screws on citizens in trade for comfort and convenience. The only way out of the system is to live rough like the old days. Maybe there is a compromise where you live within the system, but you're not part of it, like a ghost in the machine.
