I wasn't going to get involved, but you've touched on my special interest. My question: Where, exactly, would that be? There is no extrinsic margin any more. Hasn't been in North America for over a century, and the rest of the world for at least half a millennium. (And even America's margin came at the expense of people who were already living there.)
It depends very much on your precise location.
As a real-world example: My brother in law moved to a very small, dull place some hour of travel away from the nearest city. There are houses there, but they are few and far between. He and his wife interact with less than 5 persons per week. Their life consists of taking care of their household and remote jobs that involve very little human interaction. He recently taught himself a bit about woodworking and he becomes very good at that every day.
The gist of it is that people imagine some icy peak of some unreachable mountain as the place they should select for their refugee, solace from the society. This is entirely wrong way of thinking. All you need is to search for a place with as little people as possible. And these aren't as scarce as one could think.
