Not legally mate.

You literally can do that.
Why do people seem to think this is impossible?
What’s changed? Some parts of that life are sometimes illegal, but most people haven’t been against it like this.
What’s different?

For one there’s zoning laws, most property do not allow any construction, so you’re fucked for shelter. Likewise if you’re on agriculutrally zoned land as most of those large rural parcel are you are legally required to use it for farming. You can’t just go and fell trees or hunt animals, so you’ll be fucked for food. And if the council ever finds or hears of you living in such a place, they’ll send the police for you.
Linking to a few mansions in the bush isn’t the same thing as being able to just go fuck off to woop-woop for the rest of your days.

Well, yeah. Regulations are a major part of society, and a major reason we tend to come together. Yet another reason libertarianism is misguided.

Regulations can be good, they can also be bad.
Such as regulations demanding housing meets a certain area size or standard plumping system means we are not allowed to live in afford tiny homes.
