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 $$$$$.

I suggest looking at hilly, forested areas located in states that get sufficient rain, not too cold in winter, and at least 150 miles inland from the ocean.

My preference is the Ozark mtns.

not sure why you say 150+ mi from the ocean ?

perhaps out of concern about hurricanes ?

one thing to consider is that Oceans ,Seas and Large lakes nearby will moderate & buffer temperature swings, moderating the extremes that occur in areas without a huge body of water acting as a heat sink in summer and radiating the heat back out in winter,,

Correct, some of the large tornados are enough of a threat.
I don't care to deal with a hurricane and a storm surge.

While I am at it, avoid any area close to the Mexican border.
Right now it looks like an illegal alien surge.
