Let's say I've decided to turn into some sort of hermit, and let's assume I'm very serious about it.

How can I live alone innawoods for the rest of my life?

What starting equipment will I need?

What forrest would be good to go?

I'm thinking about some sort of woodlands.

How will I deal with the law? Can I be arrested for wanting to live isolated from the rest of the world?

What will happen if I, say, 25 years later, decide to come back?

How will I be able to ensure my basic needs, such as a relatively fulfilling diet, water, shelter, etc?

Tell me everything I need to know, and give me advice.

Thank you, /out/.
