I knew a guy who did that, lived off radar as a nomad for much of his adult life. Didn't live great but he enjoyed the simplicity. Only owned the clothes on his back, a change of clothes and a few personal items. He follows the bohemian crowd around the USA and works odd jobs in clubs, bars, studios and anything else to make a dollar. When I met him he was living on the couch of a bartender and worked as a sound man at one bar I frequented. He left after living on various couches for a few months and headed off to Arizona. Cool guy and I somewhat envy his ultra simplistic life. Makes me want to sell everything and say fuck it. Wonder what ever happened to him.
