It is, however, my life. And I like it well enough. I've lived in 4000 sq ft houses that I later gave away in a divorce, and I've lived in an 8ft by 12ft shack I built mostly out of found material and trees that I cut down myself.
I'll take the 8x12 shack with no TV over the 4 bedroom plush hell-hole any day of the week.
I did the mountain man thing through all 4 seasons. Winter and summer. I can do it. I'm in a more moderate environment now, but most of America would call it rough living.
Don't care. It works for me. And as long as I don't get stupid and get married yet again, I can survive most anything.
