My wife's uncle would have qualified a few years back.
He basically lived entirely off the land for 3 straight years. Made his own clothes, tanned his hides, panned for gold, made his own knives, possibles bags, you name it.
He's the real deal, though he found a crazy squaw, got her pregnant, moved to town, crazy squaw left him with child and now he's running heavy equipment for the state. Remarried and seems to be pretty content, though he misses the life he says.
