weigh in your risk rewards? are you leaving anyone in your life that you may think can rely on you (parents) or would miss you detrimentally, maybe any communities you are in? do you see the risk of dying or maiming yourself? do you have a current life that is easy to leave a steady income, come back, months or years, after you have tried your best and are still in one piece? if you set yourself simple checklists and figure out whats best, take some time for the euphoria to end. then take some more time to realize what prevents you from actually living like this? such as any cognitive reasoning, like you don't have enough money or skill. after cognitive reasoning you might have physical sensations that you can't feel or begin to understand thats stopping you from this task. we can relate the same physical sensations to the ones we feel when there is a blank piece of paper infront of us, and there is something that prevents us to start writing.

can you also look passed the fever dream, is there something you know how to do everyday byyourself in cabin all alone? from my point of view it's clear im not a lumberjack or had any experience in the woods outside by myself, but i was able to narrow it down to something is preventing me, and also something may be negativity to where i believe i might not be good enough, which is also bad

This, partly due to the ~30% greater average sunshine hours and more varied topography too (St. John valley is gorgeous). South Eastern Maine is too flat, cloudy.

idk, just making sure you can legally live/camp on the land for indefinite periods. i saw one guy on /r9k/ post his land he bought in MA and had a hammock setup and a trailer and the cops showed up and kicked him off because even if you own the land you can't legally camp there for however long. also if you plan on building any ind of structure from a shed to a house, you need to know what kind of zoning permits you'll need, whether or not you'll need a septic tank put in (you probably will need this for permanent living $$$) soil test to see if you even can build on the land, making sure its properly surveyed, making sure the guy actually owns the land he's selling you, the list goes on, but i never got super deep into it because my plan was to just not do it "legally" anyway lol.

No but that's the plan. Going to try for it after I inflate my taxes to the max bracket in a few more years and then retire by my mid 30s. $3000/month is enough to live richly in Aroostook with a nice plot of land, some cows, some goats and other livestock.

It has been my primary mode of transport for about 20 years now, do a minimum of 100 miles a week. My body is pretty much a pedaling machine at this point and I can do 100 mile days for a week straight without even noticing. I took a bus the other day due to a a failing free hub that slips like mad when the temps go below -20F, felt weird, first time in a motorized vehicle in almost 18 months, had to get to work, not enough time for a test ride to see if repairs were a success and did not have enough time to hoof it.
