And a sewer system
In the winter you freeze your ass while in the summer the smell will floor you.

And solar panels and a big battery for electricity. And a good sceptic system so i don't have to crap in a hole in the ground outdoors 500 feet away from my house. And a good general store in easy driving distance. And a powerful 4x4 vehicle that can get down to the main road even when the giant driveway path is very muddy or covered in 5 feet of snow. And a decent medical facility not too far away so when a health problem arises i don't lose a limb that could've been saved. And a post office not too far away so i can get packages delivered. And and and ...
I'd rather have a store within biking / fat biking / skiing / hiking distance to be less reliant on a car. Maybe some electric mobility option like an e-skidoo / ebike.
A poo bucket is not nearly as bad as it sounds. (Saw dust and distance keep the smell down.)
Otherwise, great list.
Counterpoint; a poo bucket is actually exactly as bad as it sounds
Wait what? Like you poo in a bucket inside your house?
Yes. Though a dedicated room is very nice.
A "nearly safe for lunch" link (as far as images are concerned). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composting_toilet
Saw dust or whatever, those things stinks. The best part is having people over and mixing all their crap in an enormous bucket 🤢🤮🪣

I think that comes from the roof.

Just don't touch the book or listen to the audio tape you find in the cellar.
I absolutely recommend touching the book. The flesh binding and esoteric runes are metal AF and look good on the coffee table.
Just remember that you must say these words exactly when removing the book from its cradle: Klaatu barada nikto.
Okay, I'm drawing a line in the fucking sand, here. Do not read the Latin.
Do not read the Latin.
Counterpoint: you used to be lonely, but now that you have summoned your "friend" you will never ever be alone (now matter how much you try)!
Don't tell me what to do! 😤
Nah, I still want to live in a community. Just not the fake community we have now.
Also, log cabin homes are bad. The one pictured has the internal space of an efficiency apartment, but uses far more logs of wood to get a much draftier result. You could get a lot of 2x4s out of this thing.
Yea but if a tree falls on it, its going to survive the impact. Which is kind of important in the woods.
Tree falls on your log cabin — now you just have more house.

Absolutely not. I was doing Spanish learning on an app and laughed at the guy who moved from "una casa oscura en las afueras" to "un apartmento soleado en el centro" (from the dark and gloomy house in the outskirts to the sunny apartment in the center of town) and raised his spirits because that is also the way I feel about living.
We all just want to be left alone, in some form or other. Ironically, in order to be left alone, we need to ban together.

Nah, this and a laptop with 16TB.
Ans offline backups for different wikis and game roms for many gens of consoles and handhelds.
I guess starlink is your only choice then? Or some other ISP that can extort you, since its your only option in the countryside?
I live in the city and still only have one option that extorts me. Yeehaw.

dont doxx my mind pls
Dpending on your definition of 'fast', you can pull this off with those newfangled 5G base station/routers.
Just gotta find a place near enough to a city, not too far into the boonies.
Cheaper than Starlink.
Fast enough to game to game on, unless there's some kind of serious servicd outage or massive weather storm of some kind.

Nah, fuck this. This isolationist mentality from larpers is what lead us to this fucking mess. This is fucking terrible, and people shouldn't be living in this shit, and 99% of those who tried know it.
Damn. God forbid people romanticize having some peace and quiet.
I mean yeah... cities aren't loud, cars are loud.
I live in a village but between semi-trucks, loud motorcycles, and trucks with mufflers modified to be louder that you can hear from miles as they motor away... it's too loud for how much nowhere there is here, particularly during midday.

I legit almost had that dream. Used to live on the KY/TN border. Had 50 acres, half mile off the road and no neighbors. Right as I determined I was moving the local power company started their own fiber ISP. Brought fiber right up to the house.
