There's a Spanish movie about a guy who goes into the mountains to commit suicide but in the end chickens. Instead of going back home he stays in the mountains and lives by gathering what he can find and stealing food. He takes vegetables from the fields, steals some eggs, chickens, stuff like that. He than finds abandoned house, cleans it a bit and starts growing some food. It's based on a true story and I'm pretty sure you could still do it. There's a lot of abandoned houses where I live, the winders are mild. I will try to find that movie, they don't say a single word in it so it's not an issue it's Spanish.
If you want better quality of life you would have to go to some developing country and do physical work for cash. Even better than that would require fake documents which gets risky, especially in foreign country.
It's also hard to find more info but supposedly it's base on a true story of a young man who lived alone in the mountains for 14 years. It happened in southern Spain so right where I live. Can't find more info though.
Kind of similar sounding, I want saw a movie about a guy who jumps over the side of a freeway to try and commit suicide and then ends up getting trapped on a little island under the freeway. He ends up like needing to do a little farm or something down there if I'm remembering correctly. I actually really enjoyed the premise now that I'm thinking about it
Yes, Korean I believe. Similar but more fantasy like. 'El Perdido' was based on a true story. The Korean one was called… Castaway on the Moon. Jesus, my memory is sooo good :)
Southern Spain. When hiking you see a lot of empty houses, sometimes even entire settlements that used to house ~100 people. My guess is that you can also find some deeper in the mounts, father away from the trails.
Many years ago I've met a guy while hiking in Poland. He was heading to some valley where he knew empty house was. He said that during summer he goes to a house like this, plants some vegetables and lives there till winter. During winter he worked to earn enough money to survive next summer. Quite different because of the weather but I mean he was able to just go to an empty house in the mountains and live there for months.
I'd not risk it here in the US, since everyone and their grandma is packing. It's just so hard to imagine because all our land here is getting developed.
On the original question, I'd get a fake identity I guess. Am in the least-profiled, most trusted demographic right now so probably could manage it. But ouch I would miss my life.
Oh, not the US as a whole. But around where I live. There were discrete cities/towns with land between. Now it's just all people, there is no in between.

I want to see that movie 👌
Found the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnGcC9c_PC0
The entire movie is pretty much like that, just slow scenes from the guy's life. Very peaceful, I liked it.
It can be hard to download but it's available on this platform: https://www.filmin.es/pelicula/el-perdido?origin=searcher&origin-query=primary

¡He visto esa película antes! En secundaria, creo. Aunque no tengo ni idea por que nos la habían enseñado.

Where do you live that has mild winters and abandoned houses?

There is a lot of development going on, yes, but damn do you have a skewed idea of what 'all the land' actually entails. America is fucking huge, and there is a fuckton of empty space on the western half of it. https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/nobody-lives-here-mapping-emptiness-in-the-us-and-beyond/
