Whenever this get posted people comment about ACKTUALLY this is bad because no food/water/electricity or whatever but I think we’re missing the point. If you magically woke up one day and had rightful ownership of this land and this house, presumably getting out of paying housing costs or rent, well, if that happened to me that would be the highest point of my life so far. Solving the problems of all the other stuff you wouldn’t have is still a more realistically solvable problem than trying to make a sustainable income in the face of rigged housing costs in this absolute clown show of a society we live in.
Honestly, I’d be ecstatic with owning any property right now…
The fact that I’m not only not alone in this, but the sentiment is held by a statistically significant percentage of people… That is the problem.
Nah, fuck this. This isolationist mentality from larpers is what lead us to this fucking mess. This is fucking terrible, and people shouldn’t be living in this shit, and 99% of those who tried know it.
Damn. God forbid people romanticize having some peace and quiet.
dont doxx my mind pls
too many spiders
Running water would be nice
And solar panels and a big battery for electricity. And a good sceptic system so i don’t have to crap in a hole in the ground outdoors 500 feet away from my house. And a good general store in easy driving distance. And a powerful 4x4 vehicle that can get down to the main road even when the giant driveway path is very muddy or covered in 5 feet of snow. And a decent medical facility not too far away so when a health problem arises i don’t lose a limb that could’ve been saved. And a post office not too far away so i can get packages delivered. And and and …
I’d rather have a store within biking / fat biking / skiing / hiking distance to be less reliant on a car. Maybe some electric mobility option like an e-skidoo / ebike.
Sounds like Jackson Hole would be perfect! Hope you’re a billionaire…
A poo bucket is not nearly as bad as it sounds. (Saw dust and distance keep the smell down.)
Otherwise, great list.
Counterpoint; a poo bucket is actually exactly as bad as it sounds
Saw dust or whatever, those things stinks. The best part is having people over and mixing all their crap in an enormous bucket 🤢🤮🪣
I wonder if there’s some sort of oil you can pour over it so the scent molecules can’t escape into the air
Petrol maybe 😁
Wait what? Like you poo in a bucket inside your house?
Yes. Though a dedicated room is very nice.

And a sewer system
In the winter you freeze your ass while in the summer the smell will floor you.
Solution is to settle in the tropics. No winters and you will smell all year round, all other smells will be masked.
Which only exists in a city
Septic tanks exist, yo.
Source: I live in a forest
Technically a septic tank is not considered a sewer system. A sewer system is a network of pipes, pumps, and other infrastructure designed to transport wastewater for central processing…a septic tank processes the waste on-site.
You are the best kind of correct, buuut yeah, if I flush and the sweetcorn goes somewhere that I don’t have to look at it then that’s enough for me :-)
If I put my septic tank on an adjacent property and also hook up my shed/barn to it (in addition to the cabin), can I call it a sewer system then?
Primitive Technology hasn’t done that yet?
I think that comes from the roof.
(water incursion is a huge source of anxiety; this place is NOT for me)
That roof looks very modern though. I don’t think there’s any more of a risk of water incursion from the roof than any other house
and air conditioning
Just don’t touch the book or listen to the audio tape you find in the cellar.
Okay, I’m drawing a line in the fucking sand, here. Do not read the Latin.
I absolutely recommend touching the book. The flesh binding and esoteric runes are metal AF and look good on the coffee table.
Just remember that you must say these words exactly when removing the book from its cradle: Klaatu barada nikto.
Don’t tell me what to do! 😤
Nah, this and a laptop with 16TB.
Ans offline backups for different wikis and game roms for many gens of consoles and handhelds.
Nah, I still want to live in a community. Just not the fake community we have now.
Also, log cabin homes are bad. The one pictured has the internal space of an efficiency apartment, but uses far more logs of wood to get a much draftier result. You could get a lot of 2x4s out of this thing.
Yea but if a tree falls on it, its going to survive the impact. Which is kind of important in the woods.
Tree falls on your log cabin — now you just have more house.
- Mitch Hedberg
Native Americans came up with plenty of dwellings using the same materials in the same environment. Most of those were far less wasteful. Trees falling are not that common.
Were they permanent dwellings? It’s fascinating how different cultures come up with different construction techniques, if you have any links with more info could you please share them?
Funny enough, a tree just fell on my water tank at camp.
Absolutely not. I was doing Spanish learning on an app and laughed at the guy who moved from “una casa oscura en las afueras” to “un apartmento soleado en el centro” (from the dark and gloomy house in the outskirts to the sunny apartment in the center of town) and raised his spirits because that is also the way I feel about living.
I guess starlink is your only choice then? Or some other ISP that can extort you, since its your only option in the countryside?
I live in the city and still only have one option that extorts me. Yeehaw.
Internet?
You mean use your ham radio to speak with a few hillbillies, and have them be your only source of outside information?
Or do you mean like the nazi-ceo-net (starlink)?
So you can watch the world turn to fascism in 4k, and have your daily dose of ads and propaganda, while isolated in the woods.
Was more thinking for cartoons and porn. Ill observe the fascism in podcast form.
I have a hard drive filled with this, no need to have a constant internet connection. Streaming is just being a slave to corporations.
Maybe I’m just old, but I lived in the era of dial-up where downloading MP3s at 4.5 kb/s was common, and you didn’t want to have to download it again, so you kept it safe in a folder. Well, multiple decades later, I have multiple folders filled with multimedia.
I agree with all if this, but you just know ill have the first season of something i desperately want to finish…
Plus it’s a fantasy anyway. I cant get a cabin in the woods. Im going to die from this shit. Hopefully fighting, probably in the camps.
Ad-cartoons and facism-porn?
Most porn is already made in a pretty fasch-friendly style.
