Good Wilderness areas for homesteading?

You can usually buy rural property dirt fucking cheap and it's on the border of the woods. Just build a small house on the property so the town doesn't say anything and you can fuck off to X-national park for a few weeks at a time without anyone noticing- just come back into town every two or three weeks to collect mail, pay taxes, and fuck right back off innawoods.

I'm actually looking into doing this up here in Canada. Is there a way you can make money off the property when it's not in use? Rent to buddies for a week or something similar/non-degenerate.

I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but so long as you have a notorized contract then you can do that in 'Murrica.

True that. w. Texas is not prime territory for a war of attrition. Too flat.

A lot of people myself included like to rent rural cabins and such for a short term like a weekend getaway. It's a very broad spectrum from dirt cheap roadtrippers-on-a-dime and hunters to ultrarichfags who want a picturesque experience and corporate events that are looking to show off. Obviously for the latter you need to have prime location and exceptional service. I don't know if your buddies alone could generate enough demand to pay your expenses though.

Do you have any issues with people breaking stuff or leaving it in an unsatisfying condition? My biggest fear is renting to someone then going up there and finding the cabin ravaged.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, but what kind of rates do you generally charge? Do you have different tiers? Cheers.

...

You misunderstand - I don't have my own cabin to rent out. I like to rent cabins from people when I go on vacation.

But the first question is a non-issue. There's contract with terms like any other lease. If they trash it you can bill or sue for damage. With airbnb the renters even have a score.

Rates, like I said, depend on the usual real estate market forces. But I have seen anywhere from $20 a night to hundreds. I've only seen tiers in the sense of smaller rooms in the house or smaller buildings on the lot being cheaper. You need to first check the market in your area or similar areas and see what other people are renting similar units for.

Ah ok, my bad. Still, thanks for the answer.

Maine is a great place, extremely few people, loads of wilderness, lots of skinwalkers
The only real drawback is that it might be too cold to farm alot for most of the year
