Ok /out/ I'm curious here. I was looking into moving somewhere very rural. Like Northern Maine, Vermont, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska etc. Someplace like that. So I'm asking if there's anyone on here who has either visited or lived or is currently living in some place like that.
Doing research I see towns that have populations of like >200. I grew up in the city so I have no idea what it's like living somewhere with such a small population.
I'm curious as to what you would do for income or how they get basic supplies all the way out in the middle of nowhere. Also, how is the culture living so far away from major population centers? My first guess is that things can get pretty weird, but maybe its just my bias that people who live out there are back woods hicks.
tl;dr if anyone lives in very rural small population places what is it like, and how is it to move there?

I live inna woods near jackman, unincorporated territory with 4 residents. I have about 46 acres, 3 cabins. Cost about 50K.
I just use a jeep to get to town for supplies or my 4 wheeler most of the year, winder i use a snow machine and sled to get stuff once a month or so.
Folks are mostly pretty simple, expect everyone to know who you are so don't be a scumbag.

What do you do for work? I figured it would be simple, which is what I'm looking for, just want to be innawoods
Getting out of the military soon and want a place away from the city, living in and around Washington D.C. is so disconcerting. Every time I go in the city it gives me an on edge, bad feeling. It's surreal, like I'm in the twilight zone.

shit. a lot of them are dying mill towns. go to sangerville, go to bowerbank, go to all these little towns and see how """nice""" it is. sorry for being hard but its the truth.

1) Social Security
2) Drive a long way
3) Backwards. Set your watch back 40 years.
Don't worry- you'll only be an outsider for the first twenty years.

Pretty much this. I think you overestimate how far away from people you wanna be. Try to work on a farm in the middle of nowhere for a summer and see how that suits you before spending your money on a property.
