So I'm thinking of ditching city life with all the people and problems. Been thinking of buying some cheap land or maybe even renting some wooded forest land from someone. Buying a camper and taking tons of supplies and food for long term survival. Maybe even build a little homestead. Or a cabin.

So now I'm looking into where would be the best place in the U.S. to do this at?

I know in some states its really hard to do. First of all land is very expensive in those states. And then you buy the land and there's a whole bunch of laws, zoning regarding it. You need to have to government people come out to look at your land to inspect it. You also have property taxes, permits, etc which adds up to more $$$$$.

This video shows just hard it could be!

Out of curiosity, what skills do you have?

I have about 15 years of camping experience.

New Mexico, Abiquiu area. Lots of water low population density, solar and wind available for power. soil is a bit rough and would take a few seasons to get back up and running. Jemez mountains. same deal but thick old growth pines make the soil more of a 6.5ph so you need to lime it. Las Vegas, NM no jobs but lots of cheap land and some of it has irrigation rights still. Pretty much anywhere in northern New Mexico or south east Colorado would be good if you are willing to work. Best part NO ONE GOES THERE. so there will be no one to check your permits. Taxes are on you though.

Cool.

I don't know if you've seen this.

"In the arid wasteland of the New Mexico desert, 25 miles from the nearest town and deep into a territory no one is likely to find by accident, there is a makeshift community populated by societal dropouts who for a variety of reasons have chosen to live outside the influence of mainstream America."
