It aint all fun and games. If cell phones,internet, and cable bother you that much, get rid of them now, you dont have to move to the mountains. While yer at it, pitch the TV,microwave, washer/dryer,elec stove refrigerator, automobile. If you can live without all these luxuries, and cut wood every day, while growing and putting up a garden,for just one year, than you have proven you are at least partly ready to move to the mountains and live the primitive life. I love the outdoors, but also am thankfull for how easy my life is. The grass is allways greener.
its me, against me.

We are in the process of doing so. Just sold our 5.5 acres of vacant land here and the house is going up in the spring. Its a good market around here. Plans are for North Idaho.

I actually bought property with a cabin on it 25 years ago, but I'm still here in Indiana.

I moved to the mountains 17 years ago.Took my 1 year old son.He's almost 18 now.
The mountains of New Hampshire aren't the most remote.To many ski resorts and retail stores. When he moves out I am selling my place and heading to some place remote. Been looking for a place. Soon very soon.

Many years ago a friend of mine lost his wife to cancer. I was living in Kansas at the time. He sold the house and everything in it. Loaded his Dodge power wagon with tools, guns, reloading and camping gear and 500 paperback books...and drove off to Alaska.

Havent seen or heard from him since.

wow must be an amazing feeling to live out in the moutains... i shall live by the water as im mainly a fisherman, but still want to hunt with my trad bow. haha would be nice, maybe one day my dream will come true. fish and hunt for food but still have the option to buy food if i desire haha. the end of long island maybe? i think so by montauk. My fishing rods,my trad bow, and a boat is all i need.

It doesn't help any when you can see them from where you live either. Although I don't know if I really have it in me to live a totally subsistence life style.

every week I think about how much more I would enjoy life if was able to sell everything without taking it in the shorts...move to a piece of property and get a job where I can do my 40-50 hours and feel good about what I have done without the stress of management.....grow some vegetables, have some egg makers out back......and access to hunting property to roam with my bow, blackpowder, pistol or whatever I choose.  not full subsistence but enough to make it as a backup if nothing else.
