Internet's not the only infrastructure you need.

    A well, septic tank, and solar can replace water, sewer, and electrical utilities. ATVs, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles (depending on location) make roads unnecessary. What other infrastructure do you need?

    Depending on age you'll need medicine and heat/AC. Fridge or some way to preserve food( yeah there's ways to do that without electricity). Guess most of this is under electric utilities, but it's hard to get consistent electricity and batteries are expensive

    For just running a fridge and lights you don't need too much solar/battery. They have 12v compressors now that are pretty efficient and blow absorption fridges out of the water in cooling. AC is a beast though. No getting around that. Heat could be wood, Propane gche or whatever. Not electric.

    I did see a guy make a cooler with a cistern, pump and radiator. Water in the cistern/well is cold most of the year. Guess you just have to drain it in the winter, but yeah I'd say batteries can be a money sink.

    Also I did kill a lot of batteries by hooking them in parallel to a bad 12v battery, buuut that's just me saying battery system can go for a lot

    at some point, you may need an hospital and an ambulance.

    You don’t understand actual honest to god hermits then.

    My wisdom tooth is going to kill me because I’d rather die than have someone touch me. I’m not kidding.

    slow painful death is bad, yes. but there is also fast painful death, such as appendicitis.

    I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.

    But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I'm not the best example

    It is if you live on the coast. Boats will get you anywhere worth going to.
