Camping is a good for the soul and – while anons here are right, it would be easier if you lived out of a car or something – you might emigrate on foot one day. Maybe you will have a friend in a town you can visit often, but hide in the woods when you are not at his place. Something like that. One thing you will learn if you camp alone, is how important other people really are, and how much of their talents you need just to live and be secure. You might decide to die with company rather than live alone.
Practice now. It is fun. You will learn how foolish what you are considering is. People live in groups. Even hermits sell their wares.
>is there any type of tent suggested for 1-2 person/LONG term winter camping (must be compatible whit wood stove).
These are expensive and will cost weight. Weight is very important when you are on foot. You do not want to experiment with expensive items or you will run out of money before discovering what items you want most. Buy something light, durable, and dull coloured and plan to head for the ocean shore in winter. If you insist on being somewhere cold, learn how to insulate. If/when your stove breaks, what good is it then? You will always be wanting long-burning campfires because you will be scared and want to keep animals away. Heat stones in the fire and then put the stones in your sleeping bag.
>do i choose a place based solely on a) water source availability b) presence of small fauna/boars? Is there anything else essential?
Water is imperative. It is also heavy. You will always be trying to be near a stream or lake. Water to clean, to cool down, to drink, it is precious and the moment you run out you start to worry. Hunting is difficult and you should focus on fishing instead. You can pack flour or rice into PVC tubes with multivitamins and cache them where you plan to go so you know just how much food you have and how long you can last in hiding.
