So Yea Forums I recently came into a substantial amount of money and have decided what I want to do is buy some land in the middle of no where, build a cottage and live the life of a recluse. I'll probably die out there, but whatever. Can't be worse than living in normal society. The only decision is where to go. I've narrowed it to four states: Maine, Alaska, Washington, and Tennessee.

how much money

about $3.50.

Washington looks great as far as weather goes. congrats user, I hope I can do that some day.

A little more than half a million. Not retire and live well money, but enough to get me buy a large plot of land and fix it the way I want if I play it smart.

How expensive is "some land" in those places?

Depends on where you go. Closer to civilization you go the more expensive it gets. If you go way outside it gets as cheap as $1k/acre

Oh, but then you have to do a lot more work with road building being the biggest expense.

conversely the cost of supplies and materials are higher in alaska though the cost of land is cheaper.

Not to mention I may end up having factor in plane costs if I go too far out for food and what not. Still, land is cheap and pretty.

Maine is the way to go. You'll keep busy preparing for harsh New England Winters, and you wont be too far from civilization worst case scenario.

You go to a place like Alaska or Montana you're on your fucking own for good.

okay, I'm doing that now. never liked hanging around people, can always find something to do by myself, pretty handy and like to learn new shit. here's some things I'm going to tell you that make it slightly less than awesome: internet sucks. period. yeah, satellite, mobile hot spots, blah, blah, blah. Speeds are pretty low, like 1.5 mbs at times. The more users, the more speed is throttled. Water becomes really, really important. You're going to have a well of course but how you power that pump is going to be the thing. And how good/old is the pump. Because they go out- all at once. Try living without running water for a week or so, not impossible but certainly not ideal. It will take you forever to get anywhere. How far away is the hardware store? You're going to need to know because you'll be fixing most everything yourself. Because service people hate driving that far, it cuts into their profits. Roads can wash out or power lines go down and you're on the bottom of the list to get fixed because of so little people affected. You are out there by yourself, there is no one to help you if trouble happens. You have to be okay with that. Otherwise, good luck OP, the stars at night are fucking amazing.

Buy a mile of land in TN or Alaska. TN is warmer, so that is my recommendation. Get it close enough to civilization that you can realistically have deliveries made or drive into the city an hour or so away to get some things.

Things you'll need:
Power:
>generator, either gasoline, diesel, or gas/natural gas hybrid (that last one will work best)
>gas/diesel/propane tanks. probably best to use propane
>solar cells
>deep cycle marine batteries
Water:
>have a well dug. this will run you ~$20k. have both electric and hand pumps installed.
>rainwater collection barrels
>water filter for barrels, to store water for showers/baths
Heat:
>gas powered wood splitter
>chain saw
>shed to store wood
>trees to cut down
>gas storage
>wood fireplace
>cast iron wood stove
>large pots for boiling water for baths, I suggest crawfish boil pots.
air conditioning:
>central air, running off solar or generator
>lots of very good insulation and a brick/stone structure that insulates well naturally
>naturally wooded area for the house to shield against the sun in the summer to minimize air conditioner (thus battery/generator) use.
food:
>underground root cellar or basement.
>lots of canned food
>jars and tools for canning and preserving vegetables, which you will be growing.
>books/information on making jerky
>a deep freezer running off the generator/batteries.
>a rifle, for procuring food
>ammunition
>lots of deer and other game, which you will kill, clean, and freeze
>a well-stocked body of water nearby, to fish out of and freeze fish
>fishing gear
farming:
>large shed for farm storage
>shovels
>pickaxes
>axes
>hoes
>small tractor with: box blade, bush hog, tiller
>seeds for vegetables
>the farmer's almanac
>a truck
Note: even growing/hunting 80% of your own food, you'll still need to go into town for things like: spices, seasoning, bread, cooking oil, and more fuel if you use a gas-burning stove.

In short: you can go about 90% hermit, but you still need to drive in sometimes.

>still need to go into town for things

Maybe for a little while but if OP picks WA he will likely be eligible for Amazon drone delivery.

5G might solve the broadband issue too.

there are rural areas in America that are still 2 and 3G now. Equipment hasn't been upgraded but "is scheduled"

Washington is a great place. I live here.
Where are you from?
Do you have basic survival skills for your cabin in the woods venture?
Or are you a city person that's going to die from mushroom toxicity?

Sorry, the questions in were for OP.
Not sure why I replied to your post.

I appreciate these responses.

I'm currently in Central PA, and honestly? I have some skills, like I am a decent hunter and have successfully grown many things in a garden over the years but yeah. I'll probably die.

Oregon >Washington

why?

Keep in mind your selected state's hunting and fishing regulations and seasons.
Poach anything, hunt with the incorrect weapon for the season, wrong caliber for whatever size game, or leave waste and I WILL turn you in for a point.
Many species owe their survival to good husbandry.
Remember, when you live like that there are times of feast and times of famine.
Learn to can your own food, you'll cut back on your need for refrigeration.
DON'T WASTE ANYTHING.
When you get a deer or elk, if it's fit for consumption, use the hide, eat the meat, use the fat for things fats are used for other than cooking. Venison fat tends to be hit and miss with flavor and it hardens while it's still fairly warm and leaves a film of fat in your mouth.
It's not a list of things you want or need, it's a philosophy of getting by with what you have and what you can obtain.
Yeah, you'll still be able to go to town to get supplies, but if you're going to town every other week to get things, why not just live in town to begin with?

Cause they probably live there.
Washington has sales tax, Oregon has state income tax.
Living on the boarder of Washington and Oregon is best.
Live in Washington and pay no sales tax when you buy your nonfood things in Oregon.

Alaska will have really great hunting and fishing opportunities. If you really wanna get away from it all, that's where you go.

Better weather, cheaper land, I'm sure they're pretty similar but Oregon has land development laws which I guess can be a double edged sword. Super cheap to live rural in Oregon. I have land it there but it's too remote to be useful outside of living there

Tennessee is full of full-on maga hat retards. Like 99% of political opinions you'll hear aren't even intelligible but are just regurgitations of whatever the troll farms put on Facebook last week.

Otherwise we have some beautiful land in the central and eastern part of the state. The western half, where I live, is basically North Mississippi and there is no natural beauty whatsoever.

The weather's about the same in both states. It's The Cascades that separate the wetter west sides from the more dry east sides of the states.

>Oregon has state income tax.
The is a minimum though, so if your not earning its moot. Not that living in ther border is a bad plan, especially if you're working

Try them out. You can rent a large plot cheap for a year and either rent one with a cabin or live in a tent or prefab house.

My vote would be Tennessee or Maine though. Better rain if you want to grow shit. Alaska is expensive. Pick whether you want worse summers or worse winters.

Well in your choices I'd pick Washington or Tennessee.
If I was rich I'd go somewhere like Oregon. It's absolutely beautiful there.

This guy gets it. God I want to live in Oregon

Bro there is plenty of poor as shit Oregon, not quite to the level of Appalachia in west tenn but morethan enough to disappear into
