Just like the kid on "A Christmas Story", "You'll put your eye out", everyone probly told you, "YOU'LL DIE!" Thanks for proving them wrong!
Best to you Bro...Later, Ted"
Yes Ted, there was much opposition, and not just from family! I got it from every angle.
Living remotely is no different than living in the city. There are "routines", just like there are in the city.
You get up every day, you go to work (my work: cutting wood, hauling water, etc.) (city folk work: fighting traffic during commute to work, sit @ desk or listen to boss yap :canadian: :canadian: :canadian: at you all day, fight traffic on way home, etc.)
A) My life. . . .serene
B) City folk life. . . .pollution, noise, stress, etc.
You choose? My choice "A"!!!
Living remotely is no different than living in the city. . . .

I understand what you are saying Nativedude.
But to make it perfectly clear to any city people, living remotely in a wilderness is the Opposite of cities. As I have posted many times all over the net } Wilderness is the Opposite of cities in everyway. Cities = polluted, noisy, disease and crime filled, stressful, expensive etc. Wilderness the opposite of that." :thumbup1:
Yes, I see your point Mike. :thumbup1: My comparison of the two was in the aspect of the fact that either way you live there are routines, work, chores, upkeep, etc. in both environments. But yes, they are completely polar opposites! You certainly must be prepared to live in the remote wilderness, especially if you're going to live more than 25-50 miles from the nearest town/city.
You ain't gonna hop in the truck and "just run" to the store! You have to be prepared and stocked up!!
And, you have to be mentally & physically prepared too! But it can be done.
