    Having been around the Mediterranean Basin countries but not to the Nordic region countries, I was surprised by how sparse the population could be where you are at. I thought I was off the beaten path, but you have me beat greatly. Even @BTPost who is one of our members in Alaska is a remote town person compared to what you have described. I am 1.2 miles off county maintained limerock road. 2.4 miles off asphalt pavement. Now have 6 other families living within .5 miles of me (used to be alone). and, I am 8 miles from nearest town.
    .
    BTW, Welcome to Survival Monkey. I am sure that there is plenty you could share, being that you live so remote. Please teach us a few things you feel we should be aware of. I look forward to your future posts here.

    Hello Sweden and welcome!

    It sounds like you live in peaceful environment! Our closest town is about 10 kilometers from our home. There is nothing much there except a Café and a grocery store but the grocery store just opened last Spring. We have pretty good roads but our road to the house is gravel/dirt.

    Do you have mobile phone service?

    I assume you are using satellite internet, yes?

    What type of wildlife (deer, antelope, elk, bear) do you have around you?

    We hope to hear more from you in the future.

    Being that far out from the local population sounds like you're living in paradise to me . Would love to see some pics of your area if possible .

    My retreat is probably 15 miles to the nearest big city,Have a few neighbors the one a 1/4 mile south of me is a major concern and locals believe him to be a loon with a room full of guns and ammo.
    I believe hes the type to sneak in at night to take what is yours.
    I have plenty pictures with him and the boy trespassing on private property,Mine included.
    Its only a matter of time before I go after him.

    I’m in trouble,I live down a 1/2 mile dead end road off a major four lane hiway. There are five houses that either my sister or my sons live in. There is a lot of traffic that come down the road just looking. One guy came down and stopped,and drained his motor oil because he didn’t want to get his clothes dirty.

    Unfortunately:
    Paved street 10 meters
    Neighbours 10 meters (on two sides)
    Town 0 meters
    Farms 200 meters (thankfully)
    Nutcase protestors 30 kilometers
    Where I'm headed >1000 kilometers

    We won't be as far from "civilization" than you, but will happily not be as crowded as we are now.

    What do you do for a living that far away from others?

    Sounds like you live next door to us... Our Cell site is on Hoonah Mtn @3500Ft and 15 miles away across Icy Straights... It takes an External Antenna and Booster Amp to really make it work, here and we got 4G two years ago, but NOT LTE yet... Our issue is the 4G here only has a 3Mbs Bandwidth, due to the limited Microwave Bandwidth between Hoonah Mtn and the Fiberoptic Trunking in Juneau, Alaska... In the summers, every time a Cruise Ship docks in Hoonah to let the Touristoes out to walk around, (5000 Passengers) the Hoonah Mtn CellSite Crashes due to Overload... The Site only has 96 total Channels available, and those 5000 Folks all want to send pictures of their Dream Alaska Vacation, back home, to "Mildred"....
