Buy a small piece of farmland. Land with standing timber is cheaper. You don't need much. 5 acres is plenty. What you're looking for is seclusion. If you can't buy go full gypsy and go deep into the forest. Build a small house out of sight so the tax man doesn't fuck with your wallet or alternatively find a camper that can be modified to withstand colder climates. A woodstove is essential, so build a small porch attached to the trailer /camper. Save money for a PV array, charge controller, battery bank and inverter. 1 Kilowatt of solar panels should be enough to power a bank of 4 12v batteries in series at 48v or 4 6v batteries at 24v. This should be able to charge your phone, laptop, personal battery bank, vape, whatever you want. If you play vidya this will be a problem as the only thing you're going to running for any length of time is a Nintendo switch with a LED TV or some other low wattage console. Owning a chainsaw and axe is a must for firewood. Use wood to cook and heat home. If there is a market for it, you can sell wood as a day job to rich folks with fireplaces who can't be fucked to get their own. You will need minimum a pickup truck with a trailer for this. That means insurance/ registration. Or go cowboy and hope your local authorities don't pull your degenerate ass over. You need to find water. Rural settings usual have cheap pump stations for country houses with no piped in water. Go online do some digging or haul in a few litres at a time. Having a rifle of some sort is ideal. While .22 LR can do the trick with small game you may need something more powerful for larger prey. Learning to use a recurve bow can save you more money. Snare traps can yield rabbits year round. Rabbits are opportunistic, they eat anything, drop some bones by the snare. Plant a garden. Seeds are cheap. Moving new dirt will be hard. Dig deep. Water that shit with rain water that you catch off your roof. Don't drink unless thoroughly boiled. Field dressing an animal can be tough if its large. Your time window before the flies come is short. Storage without refrigeration is impossible. You need to hang that shit in a sealed smoke house. Or cook it and can/ jar it for later and store in a root cellar. Have fun digging that shit. Your going to need tools of all kinds. Having a compost source helps the garden yield. There should be all kinds of edible plants in your area come spring time. Careful, while one part of a plant such as the root may be edible, the rest may be straight up poisonous. Do your research. No room for trial and error. Living without societies safety net can be rewarding but hard. Better than being a wagecuck though. If the Fall happens, you'll be more prepared than most. Bottom line is its still going to cost you a few shekels. Search classifieds, buy used, check out auctions. Try not to buy new if you can help it. Hope this helps.
