The second independent clause is “he could actually quit school;” the subject is “he” and the verb is “could…quit.” There are five dependent clauses. They are “that he wouldn’t,” “once he’d gone back to civilization,” “when he found out that once,” “ever…he was sixteen,” and “if he wanted to and had his parents’ consent.” The subject is “he” and the verb is “would” in the first dependent clause; the subject is “he” and the verb is “‘d gone” in the second dependent clause. The third subject-verb combination is “he” and “found” and then the subject is “he” and the verb is “was” in the forth dependent clause.
