That's called a false dichotomy Wharfie. Nobody starved in NZ before the dole. There were not stray dog humans. There were free-ranging humans. See books by Barry Crump. It was an ideal! "A Good Keen Man" was his most popular [and first] book: en.wikipedia.org People aspired to being free-ranging men. And many tried it to a greater or lesser extent. It can get quite wet and cold on the side of a road at night and mosquitoes can be annoying. So a 3 bedroom self-built house became the norm with slippers and domesticity with a regular job. Mqurice
