I can relate to her feelings here. But as others have pointed out, this type of lifestyle relies on financial support from others. I lived like this in my early 20s. For a while in the same area as her. Working on farms for food and board, and WOOFing in permaculture communities. Living without earning money. Looking back, I realised that all of the people who set up the farms and communities I lived in were boomers who bought land cheaply, and got family support to set up their lifestyles. None of this is accessible to younger people. For me, coming to terms with reality meant not living the kind of life I really wanted which was consistent with my ecological principles, but changing myself to accept things about society I can't change. This meant learning how to adapt to the "urban hive" and develop skills to earn money. I'm not judging her, but most of us have to figure out how to pay the big rents and bills that come with not having the financial support of family or friends. So I shaved off my dreads and got an engineering degree. I don't think going off grid is a good message. It reminds me of David Holmgren's attitude. As if we should all have such a charmed life to be able to live in the country side and grow our own food. It's a very insular and privileged message.

i don’t understand the point of this

if this was someone who had left society sure but what are we supposed to take away from this?
