Re: Anyone live in extremely rural area?
My closest neighbor is 8 miles away.
They are seasonal, it is their vacation home.
90 minutes to the convenience of a 10k town (Taos)
Have to pack ice cream on dry ice to get it home.
I fill up with gasoline every time I’m in town.
I’ve gone for several weeks without seeing anyone.
I’m alone except for my dogs horse and critters.
I Love it.
Is that Rural enuff??

Yeah it is. Thats pretty out there. So is the four corners. Its where the skinwalkers live. Wish I could live there but we are pretty populated with asshole new york/jersey transplants now. A once peaceful fishing community transformed into a rich mans vacation town.

I live out on the middle of nowhere in ND with my girl friend and we couldn't be happier. Our telephone company went high tech and about 15 years ago and hooked everyone up with fiber cable. So we get cable and high-speed internet.

Not to mention the skunks. One night the little bugger under the house got spooked and blew its load. We all woke up and thought there was an electrical fire.

Re: Anyone live in extremely rural area?
I used too. We would only get TV via antenna then just 3 or 4 channels. NO internet or cable.

The thing is it felt different there. Very peaceful and no strange feeling (paranoia, anxiety). Little to no people is what made it good in my opinion.

Less people=less problems
 Quoting: Grognak the Ballbareian


I have lived in a wide range of environments from isolated house in the country to a trailer park to apartments where it felt like being a sardine.
My favorite is a quiet neighborhood in a small town surrounded by like minded people.
Quiet but not lonely, peaceful but not isolated.
Basic services like trash pickup so you don't have to drive your own trash to a dump or put it in an incinerator like in the old days, but not a bunch of city ordinances or HOA hoops.
Conveniently located so you can drive to the city if you crave entertainment or into the middle of nowhere if you crave isolation.
 Quoting: seekergeek


Yep.

Tiny town, 20 minutes to town with Walmart. If I look out the front door, I'm in town. If I look out the back yard I'm in the country. Have no intention of ever leaving here.

Half an hour from toilet paper here. Well, new stuff anyway.

I will not live in a town or a city ever again. I do like it when the electricity goes out. I hear it running through the wires.


You either love it or hate it. Most people I know can't take it. Then there are those who can't take the city crap. That's my column...

Peace!

Unless you live in a mountainous area, you should still be able to get cellular. Your phone may not work though without a repeater and outside elevated antenna. I had a cellular repeaters with external antenna on my RV and when I camped at a far out rural area I would notice maybe a dozen cell phones belonging to other nearby campers would instantly through my repeater and have phone and data service.

Re: Anyone live in extremely rural area?
I miss you too Quarter Breed Gal, Aho!

I used to live a little more rurally than I do now. I had a little off grid cabin with no running water or electricity and a composting toilet. I learned a lot..like living that off grid is a full time job, and you need a full time job to pay for conveniences if you are too tired and need a laundromat or prepared food or have to pay property taxes.

Now I am in the loop, my internet is radio (not satellite) and decent speed. I get power from a local solar farm and have a well. I love reliable refrigeration and hot running water more than I care to admit.

I do have a few neighbors and we are friendly..but not friends.

This is literally my backyard. (embarrassed at how overgrown the woodpile is, but it's cleared now fir winter)
