    Right, and you get why this is impossible for most people? That was my original point. Most people, even if they want to do this, can’t. It’s unaffordable.

    The point is that your suggestion that someone is free to do this is just very much not the case.

      Of course I do. And again, that’s my point.

      People romanticise this, but it’s impossible for many reasons. You can easily try, but we have societies for a reason.

      Everyone is free to do this, but good luck in practice. It’s not just hard, and it’s not just stupid, but why the fuck would you want this? It’s insane, and we’re not geared for this.

      Life in the wilderness is not a Disney movie. It’s so ruthlessly difficult, that’s why society exists. We are stronger, safer, and happier together.
