I'm envious of anyone that can pull this off. It has always been a dream of mine to accomplish this and be able to sit back and enjoy the outdoors and freedom that comes with living off the grid. The power would be my main sticking point and would require quite a sizable generator and solar/battery setup. I imagine I'd end up dropping up to 50k just for my power needs, as I am a power user. The other sticking point for me would be internet access. Right now I am spoiled with gigabit connections in the heart of a major city, so going to radio, cellular, or satellite would be brutal.
