Fellow bong reporting in.

Mate, in the 1600s, men with women and children set off in sailing ships and settled in what was to become the glorious USA.

Men who could probably hardly read, set off into the unknown with hostile weather, uncertain natives and wildlife which few Europeans had ever imagined waiting to greet them with teeth and claw.

And they did it.

You are British, this should run through
your veins, to want to explore, build and be a man amongst men.

Get your bollocks stitched back on, and get to it. Of course you can do it.

God bless America,

God save the Queen.

Well I'll need to save up the money first. I've just started a job that allows me to save £10k per year, so the goal is to keep advancing in that career but in about 5 to 10 years make a real push to do one or all of remote working, part-time hours, or contracted work so I can pick my own hours. That way I'd still have theo option of going to take the money I've saved and buy a few acres of land and the material I'd need, but still having a career to fall back on if it all goes tits up. Like I say, it's a long-term plan, but it'd be nice to give myself a distraction like drawing up some initial plans.

I live in the rockies and I will say that the mountains and views I've seen have been beautiful. So beautiful that experiencing it alone can be kinda depressing at times.

Being isolated deep in the mountains is not the best for your psyche. There are many stories of people in the more remote ski areas anheroing.

If you're in good mental standing, land without plumbing or electricity is fairly cheap (~10k) in the mountains. But you sound like you need land with resources - which may run higher.

Building a cabin is not difficult from an architectural standpoint, but there are much better more energy efficient designs - which also come at a price.

Pipe dream indeed, plan your dream out and follow it if you mean it.

Uh oh.

But in all seriousness, this is something I've considered too. Do I really want to drop everything in my late 20s, leave behind everyone I know, and spend the rest of my life living in relative isolation? Realistically, no. What I'd really love is to be able to have a more typical life during the week, and then at the weekend go away and work on my cabin retreat. Unfortunately we don't have the same abundance of land and beautiful landscapes here in the UK, so for me to do this in the area I'd really like to - the Pacific Northwest - it would mean uprooting quite significantly. I'm still trying to work that bit out.

I share a similar dream to you but live in the U.S.

Key thing is to save money. Hard part seems to be finding good land. I actually enjoy my job so don't want to live too far away from it, but everything I look at seems to be top dollar or the road to get there is more treacherous than a trip to Mordor. My current house isn't bad, but the property isn't where I want to be long term.

I don't think the natives are dumb enough to fall for that a second time.

I feel you op, and as a fellow european and looking to the degradation of our beautiful continent it does suck.

I had this job for almost 5 years that allowed me to save some bucks, not much but it was a start, then the place where I worked went to shit and closed its doors (tbf I did not enjoy it that much).
That stopped me from saving more money and ultimately buy a couple acres of cheap land. Now I'm starting to think allot about it again, so if I land some job near a small populated location I will say fuck you to everything and go for it, even if that means living in a tent middle of my property.

in the US, thats not a pipe dream at all. ~40k$ will get you a manufactured home, well and septic, and a plot of land.

middle class rednecks do it all the time for hunting.

Can we even still buy land in Europe? Here in the UK it feels like everything has been built on already or is within a national park and protected.

I know, I'm jealous. I almost wish I'd been born in the US - for me to leave the UK and pursue this dream it would be mean throwing away my career and barely seeing my family. It's still a nice idea, but maybe not a realistic one.

There's plenty of them to sell in my country, but it's land where you can only have small buildings to support your agricultural activities, which it's ok. Also some land have already stone houses from the 1900s that just need repairs.
