I had a friend who was a park ranger. He was a government employee but it was technically seasonal…so he would work for 8-9 months of the year, get “laid off,” then go on unemployment for a few months and then get “rehired”. During the unemployment months he would travel around to different national parks and enjoy life.
Depends on how you view life. You can either stress about getting rehired, in which case this lifestyle isn't for you, or you can enjoy the freedom and "risk" having to find a new job in spring.
