I am lucky enough to have done both for 70 years. You can not make money in the forest, or fishing hole, but you can LIVE in it with what you work for.
I lived in the city but spent out time in the woods or a river bank. I use the word 'live' as fun, enjoyment. relax. hobby, fish, and hunt. I Could however Live in the wild If i had to, but i know very few that would even survive, much less enjoy the heat, snakes, spiders, wild animals (that Will hunt man) and No Water, AC or heat.
I doubt you could live there. Try hunting with no bullets or making shelters with no supplies from Lowe's. Really though the idea is good. There's no need for big cities and traffic like that.
There's some shows where people try living as long as they can in the wild with no supplies and they don't last long. Many are experts. Protein alone will still cause you to starve. You have to have lots of fats and truthfully you need carbohydrates as well. You'd have to grow food and hunt with no supplies. No salt for your meat, etc.
Agricultural land (% of land area) in United States was reported at 44.36 % in 2020,
It's entirely about population scale. That excess population is fed by converting nearly half of our surface area to industrial food production. Then you have cities, factories, roads and highways, and all the infrastructure that supports the massive overpopulation.

OK. Here me out. I'm starting to think the 15 minute concept is useful. Not by mandate like the WEF want to do, but as a useful principle. Try to stay within 15 minutes of your house. Sounds lame at first but hear me out. If you manage to get your work and your residence within 15 minutes of each other you kill having to do significant commute. Then as far as fun and entertainment goes, how much is within 15 minutes of where you live that you haven't even explored? There are an unlimited number of restaurants near you, a decent number of trails, more than enough shopping.
If everyone voluntarily stayed roughtly within 15 minutes of where they lived, or bothered to consider exploring the close option when something falls outside of it, then traffic would go down by a lot. And you would save a lot of money on gas.
As an optional way of life, I’m all for it. It would be as simple as strengthening the infrastructure in already-existing cities.
The irony is many of us can get caught in living out our days on one screen then going home to another. Had a friend do tech support. Guy was addicted to those Shooter Looters too. Man, I hate what video games do to men.
