Why is living in the midst of nature forbidden?

Even if one did know the terrain & was lucky enough to avoid detection by the authorities, (helicopter, drone, ranger, satellite surveillance) you may have more trouble avoiding the locals, whom, usually take a dim view of poachers & persons not having the necessary permission to be where they are. Wildernesses are smaller & more populated than they used to be.
Hiroo Onoda received training in guerilla warfare before being stationed on lubang -- he was originally part of a group (like Shoichi Yokoi), one surrendered and two were killed in firefights with local authorities, leaving him the last survivor (of the group).
he was later pardoned for his actions by the minister of the Philippines as he believed the war still going on...
in his later life he founded an outdoor school for young people from troubled backgrounds... i happened to be in Japan when he passed away in 2014 which was reported in the news... (sorry for my off-topic rant...)
"last of the nomads" would be an example of what can happen when people with lifelong outdoor experience (Aborigines basically invented "survival") find themselves in a very challenging situation...
We've all heard of this story.

Into the woods: how one man survived alone in the wilderness for 27 years | Michael Finkel
The long read: At the age of 20, Christopher Knight parked his car on a remote trail in Maine and walked away with only the most basic supplies. He had no plan. His chief motivation was to avoid contact with people. This is his story

He was merely optimizing the resources he had at his disposal. which in evolutionary terms, enhanced his chances of survival.

My brother live in taxes usa , when I go to visit him , we always go to taxes swamp for camping and hunting, I don’t think there is a permission to camp and hunt... only there is a season for hunting animals (hunting is not allowed during mating seasons) , I saw a lot of people living permanently in the swamp but it’s really rough living .... no electricity, no other facilities.... it’s really hard life.
Perhaps there was a time stealing like that would have been dealt with in an unfavourable way. Modern times and all changed the idea of defending your own at the barrel of a gun.
If surviving means stealing then I guess we all would but it doesn't make it right. If you can't survive in your own right without stealing then should you be there. What right does anyone have to drop out of society like that?

How many here think that they would be able to live a hunter-gatherer life at their present living zone (meaning latitude and wild, not urban). Even with the added help of guns I think I would have to carefully choose the spot to have even a chance. Taiga in winter is not really very food rich environment except where there is large enough deer population of some kind or a river open all year round for fishing. Then there is the requirement for vegetables for winter, I am not sure I know all the alternatives that people used here 2k years ago. So I at least would not really bet for myself.
Oh no, according to what I have read there can be freezing temperature nighttime in the desert.
Easily, on clear nights the radiation heat loss is large leading to -C sand surface temps. Dig in a bit and there is some warmth left, cliffs also store enough heat to stay warmer.
