It's normal, but as Ella said, usually you'd have to have been born in the tribe. There are many different careers that are close to what you want. Anthropology,etc. Some people move away from civilisation to live Eco lives. Most modern facets of life are given up, like electricity and a toilet. Food has to be farmed by yourself. Just to give you a few ideas.
Good Luck!
Or become a forest ranger, or field biologist.
Or, you know, a forest-ranger-field-anthropologist.
For the win.
Or go camping a lot, by yourself, or find some other likeminded people (family? outdoorsy people?) who can be like your tribe...
I know I fully intend on spending at least half a year of my life living outside of any dwelling. As I child I used to be obsessed with wilderness survival, preparedness, and being Native American (for some reason...I didn't even know any Native Americans...)
So I'd say totally normal. (though if you include "not wantonly murdering or raping other people" as a "rule of civilization", that isn't normal...but that's not what I'm assuming you mean.)
If you have an applicable skillset, you can join the peace corps. Even if you don't have one right now, it's never to late to start. Maybe learn an uncommon language.
I've considered that before. Then I realized I'd miss electronics too much. Maybe a tribe like the "we're primitive, a few modern gadgets doesn't change that" tribe from the Wild Thornberries.
It'd be fun to move to Norway and live in an isolated forest in the Arctic Circle with only 5 hand-picked awesome people and kill deer and drink from streams and shit in trenches. That'd be pretty awesome.
I've had the same urges. Sometimes wishing for a social breakdown to occur fr that reason and just start over.
