Bump. I too find the Hobbit lifestyle most appealing.
Practical guides to gardening, cooking/baking, small scale/personal farming, Bushcraft and herblore etc etc would all be useful from a practical standpoint.
I guess what your looking for is a simple, but not ascetic, lifestyle based on comfort and simple pleasures.

Unironically this. Read Ted to understand why you can't life the Hobbit lifestyle today (Unless you're extremely, extremely rich I guess). Mordor is Industrial Society and Mordor won.

Yes, it's even worse in the UK, which is what the shire was based on. What once was comfy and hobbit-like now looks like pic related all thanks to the 'progress' of the industrial revolution. At least in America or whatever you have loads of unpopulated wilderness and beauty.

Some parts of America, sure. As for me living in the belly of the beast known as SoCal, we have droves and droves of homeless that locals refer to as zombies. They'll just spill in to the rest of the states, endless supply.
