There's an obsession with the old ways. As if they were better. As if sitting in a cabin in the woods and breaking your back every day to not die of starvation is some kind of accomplishment. It's not.
I think it obviously is a difficult accomplishment.
I agree that some people probably romanticize the "old ways" and more radical forms of self-reliance, but ultimately it is question of taste and interest.
I have enough experience with it to know it is far harder than most people imagine, but still think there is a lot that I think is positive about it.
