Scavenger. He grows nothing, produces nothing but animal waste. He is not living, he is existing. Note he can do even that only as long as there is civilization to leech off of.

"The understanding that, really, we all possess nothing is the cornerstone of all spiritual endeavors and religions,"
That sounds SO Mother Earth, but let him get a can't-ignore toothache, major medical problem, etc. and see where he runs to.

Some years ago there was a story about a back-to-nature type who took a rafting trip with his son and guide. "I've had enough of civilization." he said. Two days into the mission the kid comes down with appendicitis and the guy had no qualms about the guide radioing for a medivac airlift back to that damned civilization.

“but let him get a can’t-ignore toothache, major medical problem, etc. and see where he runs to.”

He’ll just pull his own teeth, ala Tom Hanks in that movie where he is stranded on an island. Maybe he figures if he has a major medical problem, he’ll just die.
