Sure it's a great way. Produce his own food, spend day doing simple things in accord with natural rythm is really gratifying. Happyness and clear mind isn't in possession, so living working to buy things thinking that will give you happiness, to pay credit of car, house or appartment in city, isn't the good way. The problem is that to leave simply in this world controled by the system, it is really hard, as if too many laws prohibit it. Also they changed the face of the world, hard to find a forest (in France for my opinion) where you can find natural vegetable and fruits, so "have to possess" a piece of land to can cultive (becaude doing it on a land that "isn't yours" is impossible too, landowner, forest guards, police won't let you do.. So there is not a lot of choise, living day by day on a place where you know they can ban you, or buying a piece of land where you can do what you seems right without there opinion (and have to restrain yourself making a little bit of money to pay land tax).

I wish you a good continuation in this way.
