I would prefer the cul de sac of 8 close friends, but still surronded in nature.

I think the cottage being a short/medium bike ride away from friends/the city would be a perfect middle ground.
I would like that, but with internet, and lan parties.
Yeah my Father in Law basically has this… but significantly nicer (4bed, 4bath, full kitchen, running spring water, off-grid solar+batteries), up a mountain, surrounded by pine trees, with StarLink internet.
It’s amazing when we can go visit for a week or 2
Hell no lol
We basically have this in Ireland. Only instead of a log cabin its an old cottage in the middle of nowhere.
An old cottage with a gigabit connection.
You want Norway, Sweden and Finland. You can get fast internett pretty much anywhere and a large portion of the countries are just forest. I actually met a guy in Troms who is the only year round resident of an island that has two ferries a week if you book ahead of time and he has fast internett, as well as a lovely vegetable garden and a plentiful supply of fish.
I'd rather have a modern house, some housemates and no internet.
meh, I'm too anxious and would end up fitting a bunch of security in and on the house
Definitely not, my dream place to life is microdistrict with everything needed close.
Lived like that for a while (but with a working shower and not-so-fast internet). 10/10 would recommend. Will do again when I'm done with $CURRENT_LIFE_ISSUES.
Internet is useless compared to a proper well. Water - good
Everyone I know who lives in the woods has a well functioning well. None of them I know have fast internet.
Everyone has fast internet in the Nordic countries, no matter how rural they live.
Plus a plumbed toilet and air conditioning.
A composting toilet is all I want and need.
- No clogging
- No splashing
- No waste of water
- No smell
I always hate to use a plumbed toilet when we visit friends or family.
Okay but that's incompatible with my beloved bidet.
Do u mean 2 sticks and a hole in the ground type of outhouse? 1 stick to put your pants on and second one to fight off bears while u poop?
I disagree but hell if this didn't make me laugh like a mofo lmao
Ah yes – cold and drafty, that's the way we like it.
Wish granted. Enjoy mosquitoes.
Once you get used to them and if you live north of the Malaria regions, mosquitos aren't such a big deal. If you keep getting stung, eventually you will barely notice.
I live in arctic Scandinavia, the mosquitos will fucking exsanguinate your ass.

I'm not sure about the fast internet anymore. The internet is cancer and getting worse.
This right here. Just disappear into the woods and forget about the doomscroll in its entirety.
If one day you wake up in your cabin to a bright flash in the sky so be it, and least you had a good life.
