Raising a family off the grid.

No.2620077 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
For the past three years, I've spent all my free time living alone, for up to 7 months at a time, at my family's old farm in northern Finland (great-grandfather's no water or electricity), only eating what I hunt, fish, forage and grow there. And as these years have gone by, I've realised that living entirely off the grid is the only possible way for me in the future. I have all the practical skills, knowledge and means to live self-sustainedly and alone indefinitely, and now the question is with starting a family. I've always wanted to raise a family, but I doubt it could be feasible with my lifestyle. I want nothing to do with modern society, no wifi, no bank account, nothing; even the probability of finding a woman with the same desires as me seems impossible and raising kids would bring in more expenses, and I'm not even sure if it would be right to raise kids there, since I live very ascetically, the only luxury being books. Even if I could find a woman like that, it would most likely require me to spend more time in modern society, which I am not sure I can continue. Even though I enjoy solitude a lot, I doubt I could be alone for decades. Should I leave permanently as soon as possible or wait until I can bring a family with me?
