Why would it need fast internet? Fairly slow internet would be fine, stick a 4G antenna on the roof and I would be fine with that.
Pass, I like being able to walk to the store and concerts and stuff. Maybe with the hydroponics and aeroponics boom everybody can just live in a city and leave nature alone?
In theory cities are more efficient, than living off-grid, I agree.
In reality though if you’re really careful and know what you’re doing (and are really disciplined and have educated yourself), you can live a true carbon neutral life.
All the infrastructure in cities and everything around modern life is just destructive in so many ways unfortunately…
And unfortunately the mass of people don’t care enough, to initiate the necessary systemic changes to make cities truly sustainable…
Reminds me of that guy from the Good Place who ran a snail rehab.
And that is relevant how? I don’t say that it’s a lifestyle for the average person, definitely not.
Because he lived sustainably alone in the woods off of his own filtered piss and a snail filled garden. In the end he did all of that to get into the good place and still didn’t.
It was analogous to the unreachable perfect standard of goodness.
So you’re extrapolating from this single case? As I say, if you know what you’re doing it’s less effort than you think, you let nature do its thing for you and just nudge it in the right direction, so you just harvest the fruits. And yet again, just because that lifestyle isn’t for you it can still be for others…
I’m not extrapolating, this isn’t data, it’s fiction lmao
So in other words you’re trolling and don’t care about being right or wrong…
Whenever this get posted people comment about ACKTUALLY this is bad because no food/water/electricity or whatever but I think we’re missing the point. If you magically woke up one day and had rightful ownership of this land and this house, presumably getting out of paying housing costs or rent, well, if that happened to me that would be the highest point of my life so far. Solving the problems of all the other stuff you wouldn’t have is still a more realistically solvable problem than trying to make a sustainable income in the face of rigged housing costs in this absolute clown show of a society we live in.
Honestly, I’d be ecstatic with owning any property right now…
The fact that I’m not only not alone in this, but the sentiment is held by a statistically significant percentage of people… That is the problem.
Internet?
You mean use your ham radio to speak with a few hillbillies, and have them be your only source of outside information?
Or do you mean like the nazi-ceo-net (starlink)?
Absolutely not. I was doing Spanish learning on an app and laughed at the guy who moved from “una casa oscura en las afueras” to “un apartmento soleado en el centro” (from the dark and gloomy house in the outskirts to the sunny apartment in the center of town) and raised his spirits because that is also the way I feel about living.
So you can watch the world turn to fascism in 4k, and have your daily dose of ads and propaganda, while isolated in the woods.
Was more thinking for cartoons and porn. Ill observe the fascism in podcast form.
Ad-cartoons and facism-porn?
I have a hard drive filled with this, no need to have a constant internet connection. Streaming is just being a slave to corporations.
Maybe I’m just old, but I lived in the era of dial-up where downloading MP3s at 4.5 kb/s was common, and you didn’t want to have to download it again, so you kept it safe in a folder. Well, multiple decades later, I have multiple folders filled with multimedia.
I agree with all if this, but you just know ill have the first season of something i desperately want to finish…
Plus it’s a fantasy anyway. I cant get a cabin in the woods. Im going to die from this shit. Hopefully fighting, probably in the camps.
Well that and food. Might need food to survive.
Theres food in the forest, I’ll need a oversized soaking tub.
You gotta pick a fuckton of berries and hunt a lot of squirrels unless you have both the acres and knowledge to actually farm and homestead.
Depending on where you are long pork is an option, people go missing in national parks all the time what’s a few more?
While I was going to make a point about diseases being transmittable through human meat, it did remind me that CWD, or Zombie Deer Disease is raging across now a third of the US or so, and a huge swath of Canada as well. It’s a prion disease, not a virus or bacteria, there is no cure or antidote, cannot be cooked out and can even survive autoclaves, and it’s 100% fatal over time, and we have no real good idea how it’s spreading or how readily it can be transmitted to humans. (There have already been some infections.)
If you do ever end up in the woods, do not eat the deer unless you’re starving and even then, avoid lymph nodes, brains and organ meat generally. Even still they think it can be spread from blood.
I’d spear hunt the boar I don’t like deer.
I legit almost had that dream. Used to live on the KY/TN border. Had 50 acres, half mile off the road and no neighbors. Right as I determined I was moving the local power company started their own fiber ISP. Brought fiber right up to the house.
Nah, fuck this. This isolationist mentality from larpers is what lead us to this fucking mess. This is fucking terrible, and people shouldn’t be living in this shit, and 99% of those who tried know it.
Counterpoint: I tried and I want to leave this broken society even more now (especially since societal enshitification seems to even accelerate).
Though you still need social contacts (that you really like) to avoid loneliness, so in case you have that, it’s a wonderful, peaceful and healthy way to live more in harmony with nature, but it’s a lot of work nonetheless.
Take it from someone who actually experienced living in a remote isolated place. It’s as far as peaceful, healthy, and quiet lives you can imagine. You’re not a druid from a larp, and you’re not an animal born in a ditch, you will not be in “harmony” with nature, whatever the fuck you mean by it, you will be in a constant opposition to it, in a fight for your life, and “the nature” will consume you in the end. I know you’re not one of those people who actually thrives in that environment, I know it because we’re talking on the internet, and weird forest isolationists don’t talk to other people on the internet.
All that remote hut bullshit is a sham perpetuated by antisocial weirdos and scammers that sell buckets of prep food you can shit in.
😂 poor little guy. What would you even do without DoorDash?!
There’s no way you could hack it, so there’s absolutely no way many, (MANY) other people could!
Damn. God forbid people romanticize having some peace and quiet.
I mean yeah… cities aren’t loud, cars are loud.
I live in a village but between semi-trucks, loud motorcycles, and trucks with mufflers modified to be louder that you can hear from miles as they motor away… it’s too loud for how much nowhere there is here, particularly during midday.
dont doxx my mind pls

I guess starlink is your only choice then? Or some other ISP that can extort you, since its your only option in the countryside?
I live in the city and still only have one option that extorts me. Yeehaw.
Nah, I still want to live in a community. Just not the fake community we have now.
Also, log cabin homes are bad. The one pictured has the internal space of an efficiency apartment, but uses far more logs of wood to get a much draftier result. You could get a lot of 2x4s out of this thing.
Yea but if a tree falls on it, its going to survive the impact. Which is kind of important in the woods.
Native Americans came up with plenty of dwellings using the same materials in the same environment. Most of those were far less wasteful. Trees falling are not that common.
Funny enough, a tree just fell on my water tank at camp.
1000$ damage or more are common with tree falls I guess
Were they permanent dwellings? It’s fascinating how different cultures come up with different construction techniques, if you have any links with more info could you please share them?
Tree falls on your log cabin — now you just have more house.

Nah, this and a laptop with 16TB.
Ans offline backups for different wikis and game roms for many gens of consoles and handhelds.
Been living like this for over a decade in south east asia and its incredible. Got all of my tech gadgets, 1gbps, jungle, beach, rescue dogs and occasional road trip to the city. If you can earn 3k usd/mo remotely you can have all of this too!
