Now don't exclude Alaska from the possible locations folks. It is possible to follow a completely subsistance lifestyle up here. Land with good forest and water is plentiful, taxes are low, the state still gives residents a share of the oil revenue each October, and the long winter nights make for fine music around the fireplace. The air is pure, the water is clean, the fish and game are abundant, and we have all four seasons (June, July, August and Winter).
