A well, septic tank, and solar can replace water, sewer, and electrical utilities. ATVs, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles (depending on location) make roads unnecessary. What other infrastructure do you need?
I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.
But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I’m not the best example
Yes, but even living across the street from a hospital doesn’t guarantee you will have access to medical care. Plenty of people who live in the city can’t afford an ambulance or hospital stay.
Depending on age you’ll need medicine and heat/AC. Fridge or some way to preserve food( yeah there’s ways to do that without electricity). Guess most of this is under electric utilities, but it’s hard to get consistent electricity and batteries are expensive
For just running a fridge and lights you don’t need too much solar/battery. They have 12v compressors now that are pretty efficient and blow absorption fridges out of the water in cooling. AC is a beast though. No getting around that. Heat could be wood, Propane gche or whatever. Not electric.
I did see a guy make a cooler with a cistern, pump and radiator. Water in the cistern/well is cold most of the year. Guess you just have to drain it in the winter, but yeah I’d say batteries can be a money sink.
Also I did kill a lot of batteries by hooking them in parallel to a bad 12v battery, buuut that’s just me saying battery system can go for a lot
Internet’s not the only infrastructure you need.

It is if you live on the coast. Boats will get you anywhere worth going to.
Can you actually order a boat ride or boat delivery online? Is there boat Uber now?
If you live in the wilderness, you should have a boat.
Edit: yes I’m pretty sure I can order a boat for delivery, but if not you can always make something.
“I can farm my own food”
Not with that tree cover and acidic soil.

at some point, you may need an hospital and an ambulance.
You don’t understand actual honest to god hermits then.
My wisdom tooth is going to kill me because I’d rather die than have someone touch me. I’m not kidding.
slow painful death is bad, yes. but there is also fast painful death, such as appendicitis.

Need or want? Build it by a stream you can boil the water and you have fish, shit in the woods no need for a toilet.
