Ah, actually there are places where many people live like that. I know such places (one, namely republic of Artsakh, has become worse in the last couple of years due to partially being occupied by savage racist apes thinking it’s inside their “territorial integrity”).
It’s just that this requires a set of skills most don’t possess, having grown in big cities or places not too different from big cities for this purpose.
EDIT: About “level of decision” - nothing really prevents you from gaining the same. Just going to live “off the grid” with pretty much “on the grid” mindset is something leftists do more. Being prepared and having technical means to get to a doctor is important.

Thank you. I hate these comments implying that this is one hundred percent impossible or even that you need to be a rich person to accomplish it. I did it for a short time. But I went to town to get water and food, it’s not like you need to have every single thing be completely self sustaining (you can, but it’s not like it “doesn’t count” if you go get something). It was uncomfortable and hard, but that also contributed to what made it so rewarding. It was one of the best times in my life.
It is stupid to try to live in the wild without knowing what you’re doing though. The area I was in had good weather, close to a town etc. It wasn’t at the top of a mountain or anything.
