I agree with you, nature is hostile to humans. I recently bought a house in a village and first day: I was bitten by a mite. There's danger of encephalitis, so I had to visit a hospital and get some injections to protect. No hospital? Few percents of chances to get ill and die.
There are wolves in the forest. They're not generally dangerous to humans, unless you're doing stupid things or you're child, but they're dangerous enough and they'll kill dogs.
Finding clean water is a challenge. Mosquito can turn your life into hell without modern repellents.
But still I think that it's a worthwhile movement to bend a nature towards human and fill a missing pieces. Because despite all the dangers and inconveniences I just love being in nature compared to the city.
Probably the technology and science is not here yet. But imagine that we develop ways to eradicate mosquitoes completely. Eradicate infected mites completely (issue with viruses and bacterias, not with mites, of course). Find a ways to generate clean energy (hardest thing is to generate heat in home, it requires lots of energy). And so on. My dream is to live like an elf in the forest, but without all the negative consequences. It's impossible or too costly atm, but I don't see it as impossible in principle.
