>go full kaczynski or full ruralist
this isn't easy to accomplish. Kaczynski had money and a brother to help him. I can't even get someone to employ me for minimum wage, and jobseeker's allowance is shit in my country (5000 euro a year, barely enough to live on).
>just go live innawoods
>just watch a youtube video on building a log cabin :D
it doesn't work that way. You can't just build a cabin on public land. Specifically I'm Irish, but I'm sure this applies to most countries. There aren't vast areas of land that no one passes through. I'm homeless - I have a lot of experiences living in different environments. Even pitching a tent you get harassed and it's technically illegal on 99.9% of land (the remaining 0.1% there are VERY stringent rules - can't stay more than a day, can't use a stove, etc.). If you were to start on a cabin guaranteed patrols will tell you to fuck off within a week even if you're in a place that's seemingly remote (public forests are looked after in Ireland by coillte and yes, they patrol everywhere on this island).

The >innawoods thing is pure escapism. It's never going to shape into reality. The only people who can realistically do it are upper class inheritance people, and if you think I'm full of shit, consider the planning permission. You can't just put up a log cabin with a log stove, even if you've paid for the land. You need to pass modern planning permission standards - including adequate insulation. It's illegal to build a wooden house if you intend on living in it. It's minimum 60,000 euro to have any kind of home, and property tax every year. There isn't some secret trick no one but you is aware of - it's illegal, simple as.

Unless your goal is to fly to Alaska and be an illegal immigrant somewhere in their vast unpopulated wilderness, you will never achieve a remote lifestyle. Kaczynski and Dick Proenneke were both well off, during a time when laws weren't as stringent regarding where you have to live. There is a reason the only people who do this anymore are millionaire youtubers, who technically live "off grid", but have the fastest internet, computers, and basically live in extreme wealth.
