Interesting, as I am not from Ireland I never heard of the guy. Reading through the article though says he doesn't adhere to moneyless lifestyle anymore:

Boyle gave up his moneyless lifestyle in 2011

But maybe just to buy those shoes he got and then he continued with as little as possible? Doesn't say in there.

It doesn't read like he's a bad person but this is basically just doing anarcho-primitivism and as such pretty instantly runs into questions about what about people that die without industrialized society?
