im sure its all been mentioned here already, but ill throw in my thoughts.
i have grown up in a rural area. hunting, fishing, getting dirty, camping for a week or 2... and ill tell you its gona be harder than you think.
to start off. go camping. learn how to make a fire and cook on it. learn how to catch fish and small game and clean it to cook... all of this can easily be learned on youtube. just remember watching it on youtube in a 10 min video and spending a whole week doing it yourself is different.
most importantly youll have to have ingenuity. just today me and my GF were out in the woods. we took chicken legs along for lunch but didnt have any way to cook them. we took 2 short sticks, clamped the small end of the legs between the sticks and tied it together with vines. then just held them over the fire like a marshmellow. took like 30 mins to cook but we ate lunch.
but another problem is what land are you going to live on?? if you buy your own land its cona cost alot of start up money, and kinda defeat the purpose... a few places that come to mind would be west virginia, midstate newyork, somewhere in the northwest?? but even these places have people nearby and youll never know if you are trespassing on land or not.
this is a personal goal of me and my GF someday, but hew family owns land over in laos. the exchange rate from usd to kip is like 800% so if you could save up just a few thousand $ here in the states and move over to a small poor country like that and live in a village you would be pretty good off, and live a primitive lifestyle at the same time :D
