I did think about that too. If he got hurt, things could change quickly.He’s at a care-free stage, but he’s one fall from the barn or one kick from the horse, or maybe even one parasite from drinking surface water away from losing it. It also feels like a game, he’s got some backstop that allows him to do this knowing that it isn’t really life and death. Seems like he’s basically at extended summer camp.
Oh, and I could save him $50/mo on his phone bill.
I’m sure that he was never undocumented, just doesn’t report income because he has so little, but that was just clickbait.Now that he is on video, I am sure the gov has him on some list.

Yes, he's young and immortal. And your point is...?He’s at a care-free stage, but he’s one fall from the barn or one kick from the horse, or maybe even one parasite from drinking surface water away from losing it.
Guess who don’t write books?Yes, he's young and immortal. And your point is...?
Seriously, your concerns are legitimate, but he can avoid falling from the barn, being kicked by a horse, and drinking surface water. I have a bookshelf full of stories of others who have done what he is doing, in far more remote and rugged terrain, and lived a long life free of calamity.
We are all just one -insert something- from losing it.He’s at a care-free stage, but he’s one fall from the barn or one kick from the horse, or maybe even one parasite from drinking surface water away from losing it.

It surprised me that wasn't his first expense listed with 50 ac.He’s able to pay his property tax?
Farmland is taxed at a really low rate, but if he lives on it I don’t know how it would be taxed.It surprised me that wasn't his first expense listed with 50 ac.
He nails the key point, no bills = no need for a paycheck.
It's interesting to set back and think about what steps one takes and how it weighs you down.
may our chains rest lightly upon usMost people don’t realize you can choose how heavy your chains are.
...due to their off grid lifestyle?My grandfather lived a less “off grid” existence and about 1/3 of his siblings died young.

broadly, lack of access to medical care. Injuries and illnesses. Don’t think anyone died from a waterborn parasite, and falling from a barn roof while debilitating was not often fatal. Not sure if passing out drunk in your buggy and getting hit by a train can be considered an “off grid” issue so won’t count that one....due to their off grid lifestyle?
Maybe, insufficient data.What you've observed is an adult human male enjoying himself. A rare sight, I know, which explains your confusion.
So he trains horses and shoes horses for his few bills. When he wants. Good on him.
Downside, he won’t be young forever.
