Don't mind snow and cold, but yeah warmer is better. less work etc..Could I live away from people? Absolutely. Would I live where it's cold and snowy? No effing way. I like it hot and sunny.
Haven't any of you watched Naked and Afraid? Many people can't last 21 days even with a support and medical group camped near them.
It's not good for the kids. They grew up messed up. Look at Jewel.
Meh, the kid will be fine!
I couldn't do it. One person who could was Dick Proenneke in Alaska, http://dickproenneke.com/DickProenneke.html . Every once in a while PBS run a show on him. It's well worth the time and especially incredible to see him build his own tools.
"Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the logs he would need for his cabin. Dick Proenneke returned the next summer to finish the cabin where he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures, and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video so we can all watch this amazing man build his cabin by hand."
Social interaction with other people, more than just your immediate family, is an important part of being human.
How do they spend $12,000/year? I'd love it but my wife would be against it.
