Living in the mountains

Wow I had no idea so many other people fantasized about this. I wonder if there are secret villages off in the wilderness where the people with the balls to follow through all went.

we have a camp kinda out in the middle of nowhere and i love to spend time up there. best part is the 1250 acres we own all around our camp

Take Me With You.

Yeah, i'd love to live on a deserted sun soaked island with a woman who i love and we could grow all our own food etc... i would settle for that in the mountains though.

I agree completely.

I'd prefer to live on an island though. And with a man, not woman.

i have dreamed manys a time about escaping and breaking away from the real world... this often made me feel sucidal even. i would stare at landscape drawings and pictures of rivers an dream i could escape it. i still do nowadays but i have become more content with my work and found an things and people that intrest me. i think you should do the same.
im not a person that want to force a person to integrate with eveyone else. i feel you should find things in this modern world that intrest you and persue them.

saying that my father still works and every weekend he takes the car and disapears into the hills with walking boots. i love to do the same aswell. its great to get back in touch with nature. i feel it is important to not forget your roots but you have to keep up with the world if you want to better yourself personally i feel.

thats jsut my opinion... live love to live in alaska if i was to breakaway :-)

I've always felt that something like that would be fun, and a much better way to live life. Theres just one problem. The next generation in your village will all be related. They will need to go kidnap some outsiders, either that or the the third generation will be filled with disgusting products of incest.

whoa.. The last comment for this question in written 5 years ago from now, but I hope someone will see mine too. Moving to the mountains is my biggest dream of all and i really hope to find some peaople who would agree to do This with me. I'm so happy to find other people thinking the same as I!

Well i have done it for 2 years and it is not that bad and i am going out agin for longer ...i am not saying it is easy it is not but sometimes it will not be hard either....iam wondering if some of u are just wanting to do it just for a month or 2 and not for the longhaul or are u just talking about it...it does get cold but u do climatise to the weather .....and u have got to be able to read the weather or the wildlife and even your suroundings and know what water u can drink .....so i bet most of u are just talkers and not doers

I wish I could have a cottage and possibly a farm out in the wilds of either Iceland or Nunavut. I would love to be be self-sustainable living off the grid and being one with nature.

I don't think I could live there. It is my thought that it would be a good place to die. Sitting under a tree overlooking a wild and secluded valley, maybe a view of the sunset. WInd blowing softly through the trees, a few birds singing their lifes song, sending me off to sleep, not to wake up. My body to decay and return to the soil and become a part of this wonderful place.

I live on mountains in CO. Here is no "Leeches, Spiders, Snakes, mosquitoes".

My life dream is to move to the alps when I finish university and be a classy ski bum.

Id only the world wouldn't be so overpopulated, it could be more easily done. Many people like material values, the just make money and spend it. They are shallow.

Yes, It's completely normal. It's even recommended. (In 21st Century we have wireless internet, solar panels etc. It can be quite comfortable and exciting to live there)

I feel the exact same way! well i'm a woman, so i'd be looking for a man to do this with, lol. i just wanna escape the real world every day.

and if your not sure about doing it watch "Jeremiah Johnson" and be amazed.

Do it, but learn the necessary skills FIRST. Do not be like Christopher McCandless. Some tips: Oak, maple, and ash make good bows, machetes suck, and porcupines taste nasty.

It is completely normal to us who love nature. It's in our spirit and our soul. I have lived among the mountains with my children. Camping during the summer months and renting during the school months.work as I needed. But most importantly being one with nature. I am currently residing with my mother and trying to do the 9-5 grind but it is literally killing my spirit and my soul is dying from lack of nature. I do not like society. However, I am friendly and professional as needed. I jus feel at home when I am among nature. It is the best therapy God has given us.
Soon we will venture back out there. No destination. Jus an atlas and a dart.
If God provides us a man to provide for us, great, but as a single mom I am very used to doing things on our own. God always provides for us.
I have no fears or worries. It's society that will fail.. God's plan never fails.

i will go with you

Not normal to want to start an incestuous family.

Im 33 good looking good build..been through the wash my whole life...took a life of glamor instead of life..Tired of life and drama..Going to go live in mountains..have it planed out..have 8 hrs before wife gets home to do it..just dont know where to go..

yes..normal.

I also have fantasized on that pretty often. As a child I used to run away and stay in the woods quite often. I am getting older now at 43 and it is weighing on my mind a lot more often to do it. I might even do it with in the next couple of months.

Agree, but I live in the mountains myself, and when I go out bush it's not all good.

Leeches, Spiders, Snakes, mosquitoes. There are lots of reason why it can be just as much of a pain in the ar*e as the city.

Sick of living in the real world? Nah, you're searching for it.

Instead of talking about it, maybe you should just do it.

reminds me of a book i read when i was younger.
I cant remember the name but it involved a boy who ran away from home i believe and moved into a forest or something and he had a pet falcon.

but anyways, its normal to think like that, i've always wanted to run away and live another life somewhere but sadly where i live there are no mountains

Sounds great!

thats actually really sweet. modern life can seem really cold and hard sometimes.

Thats my life goal. So, really normal.

same but im gonna get that girl first !! lol

This is exactly my dream, except with a Women. This is a normal feeling because the world around us is so crap.

I'm so glad I had seen this post in the forum. I have thought about this a lot before. I had made up scenarios and how I could possibly survive. But the thing is, I do plan on living there. But I want a nice hosue right i nthe middle of the mountains. Maybe not a shack! But it is a fun good idea. I agree with you!
