Yah. But also with heat, running water, AC, a convenience shop nearby and some friends. So basically what I already have minus a job.
You don’t need A/C.
Source: I live in Wyoming.
Edit: I meant that you don’t need A/C in a cottage like the one pictured, not that A/C is unnecessary altogether. I used to live in Texas. No A/C will literally kill you in Texas, but in a wooded mountain cottage surrounded by trees like that, you don’t really need it. In my house in WY, the hottest it ever gets inside is 78 with low humidity. Below is the current temp in my room, with computers running, at 2:22PM.
All depends on the climate your in, and the insulation of your house. You can build houses which don’t need AC even in hot places by going underground or making earth ships. Yet with traditional construction and insulation in many places AC is almost required. Pretty efficient anyway, just a heat pump.
Yeah and I dont need a roof either, but it sure is fuckin nice
meh, I’m too anxious and would end up fitting a bunch of security in and on the house
Plus a plumbed toilet and air conditioning.
You want Norway, Sweden and Finland. You can get fast internett pretty much anywhere and a large portion of the countries are just forest. I actually met a guy in Troms who is the only year round resident of an island that has two ferries a week if you book ahead of time and he has fast internett, as well as a lovely vegetable garden and a plentiful supply of fish.
I want this, but with an irrationally large Evil Dead esque cellar, for my hobbies.
I’d love a stone or brick built eco build version with full insulation, solar & battery supplemented with and ground or air source heat pumps. I saw that dream house on my last winter trip to Scotland. My sense of making it!
my dream is the complete and final destruction of America and the false state of Israel
And Russia, North Korea, China, El Salvador, etc. right?
Why would I want the destruction of a few third world countries that are minding their business and Russia?
China- genocide, human rights violations, no free speech, Tiananmen square massacre. North Korea- do I really need to say anything about this one? El Salvador is authoritarian now and is playing along with the US’s prison camp bs, and Russia started an unprovoked war and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives while committing multiple war crimes in the process.
And who told you these wonderful facts? the free press of America and Israel?
It’s called doing your research, you should try it.
Lived like that for a while (but with a working shower and not-so-fast internet). 10/10 would recommend. Will do again when I’m done with $CURRENT_LIFE_ISSUES.
Definitely not, my dream place to life is microdistrict with everything needed close.
Would like a variant on this, the bugs and darkness of the woods would drive me insane:
- On a field, farming optional
- Add a soldering station, solar panels, well with pump, and septic tank
- Perimeter tripwires and defense (nobody’s coming to help if something happens)
- Tornado shelter with medical supplies and a healthy supply of 3D filament
And I’ll finally be able to complete everything on my bucket list that doesn’t involve travelling.
Nah the internet sucks no matter where you live. That cottage with a closed network or something like Secure Scuttlebutt/Manyverse in a little village would be cool though. The town library can have gigabit internet (for downloading media) and a shared local Jellyfin (& calibre, Navidrome, audiobookshelf, etc) server that can be accessed by anyone in town.
Want to play Live Service or online games? To the library. Publish your website or music album or artwork outside of the local loop? To the library. Online classes? To the library.
We basically have this in Ireland. Only instead of a log cabin its an old cottage in the middle of nowhere.
An old cottage with a gigabit connection.
Internet is useless compared to a proper well. Water - good
Everyone I know who lives in the woods has a well functioning well. None of them I know have fast internet.
Everyone has fast internet in the Nordic countries, no matter how rural they live.
Can’t decide if AI or not AI
My vote is for non-ai. Look at those rocking chairs. They actually make sense. Even the best image models would trip up on complex geometry like that. Also the window on the top right. You can see through to the window on the opposite side of the cabin and see some of the green foliage through it. It looks very “abrupt” in the sense that I don’t think that a model trying to come up with the most statistically likely image would just put a fragment of green in the window like that.
I’ve lived out in the rural before. I’d only do it again if there was a pharmacy that was open more than 9-5 mon-fri within a reasonable driving distance, a grocery store, and at least one good restaurant close by (it’s nice to be removed from other but boy does cooking for yourself every meal get old fast).
I went and had a pile of kids so I have to do it everyday. Oh my god I’m tired.
And what was I thinking?
Every time you figure out what’s for dinner bam you gotta do it again.
We have to kids and cook every day. We have about 12 dishes we cycle through, plus a new dish every couple of weeks. Plan for a week and shop for it accordingly.
Before the kids i would go to the local supermarket, that, regardless of the city i lived in, never was more than 10 Minutes away by foot. I’d figure out what i was feeling like cooking once i was
But it is nice to have other options, like ordering food, for the very lazy and very stressful days. This i would give up for a nice place in nature though.
