>Comforts
Seriously OP, you might want to invest a at the very least, some form of solar power, grey water recycling and probably one or two high efficiency freezers or coolers.
My reasoning is this, you want to get away from it all. Fine. But you don't have to rough the fuck out of yourself (and be miserable) to prove a point.
Before you buy land, go camping there. Have a chat with he local authority about what's going on. Find out who your future neighbours will be.
What you'll need isn't just land. You'll need somebody to prospect your water and soil. You need a source of fresh water on your property, and remember that it needs to be checked once a year, but legislation in this regard depends on where you are. If you have fuckall, you'll need to drill for a well. Sexpensive.
Prospect your ground, get a read on your soil content, find out what'll grow best. This is kinda important, it'll save you headaches in future and probably help curb some future surprises.
Placement and the location of your cabin or house is very important. Don't just blindly go for the most beautiful spot you find. You'll need a shitload of flat cleared ground if you're gonna live of the land for the foreseeable future, and living close to it is fucking important. Lugging your equipment to and fro every day will get old fast, plus a few other reasons.
Try to learn how biodiesel works. It's really quite simple, there are even machines that do all the work for you. It's cheaper than most, you can buy the oil off of locals and convert at home on the cheap.
You gotta realize that this venture's gonna cost you a lot of money. And will continue to cost you money as you either run out of fuel, part, equipment or necessities.
