It could get very lonely, but I've started seeing very rural life as my ideal. I think I'd want to find the right person/people to do that with before setting off, rather than going it completely alone. But right now everyone could use a lot more nature and a lot less hyper-connectedness.

Yep. The main thing holding me back from moving rurally would be lack of family. Moving away from urban areas would be great for my peace of mind, but I don't see much point if I end up as a hermit lol

The best thing about being cut off from civilization is having to get creative with your time. It's surprisingly hard to ever have downtime and relax when you live more on your own, there's going to be a lot to take care of. You could also always open a sort of hostel for work exchange. Which brings friends, business, and a helping hand. Go for it, yo. It's crazy to see how much more control we have over our lives when living in a rural area. It's fricken awesome when you get your life back in your own hands. (:
