    Peace and Love every one!
    Earlier today I posted a thread with the title: "Living in the middle of Nowhere"

    Now here is the question...

    On a scale of 1-10, Would you live in the middle of nowhere?

    My Mind's Eye that often influences which number I pick on 1 to 10 Scales is showing me a "2".

    My own opinion on how much I'd want to live in the, middle of nowhere, though, is probably an 8 or 9.

    I may inherit a piece of land way out in a desert. I sometimes daydream about that sort of life.

    I'm not a hippie but if I take that part out of the question I'm an 8.496 on wanting to live in the middle of nowhere.

    :) hey you do not have to be a hippie to live in the middle of nowhere. Plus I did say Young ladies in general in my question so it does include you :D

    I wish my grand parents didn't sell their farm and move to the city like about 80 years ago. The land was in the only forest in the country that I am in now. And it is not that big of a forest. But love going camping and Trekking there!

    My Number one rule in life is.... Age is just a number. Just because you have lived longer on earth than others does not mean you are old but more experienced!

    Thanks, sometimes when I get ideas about things. I go with what comes in my brain at first.

    how does one even answer that? it's either, how many ladies would not mind living in the middle of nowhere (answer: a lot of them), or on a scale of 1-10, how much would you like living in the middle of nowhere (for me personally: about a 7, but i'm not a lady). you can't really combine them into one question and still make sense.

    What is this 'middle of nowhere' you talk about?
    I've lived in the jungle before, but I won't/can't do it for years.

    So on a scale 1-10 I'd give it a 10. I would, for a limited time.

    oh absolutely. the only reason i've found myself living in cities is to avoid having to indenture myself to a car. but given a free choice of everything, i would live as far away from large concentrations of population as i could get. preferably in forested mountains where there are also trains.

    i would need essentially two things, some way to get to the store, and something like solar power. i would not expect to be able to produce all my own food for the first few years, but could get by with very little consumption of electrical energy.

    of course i have a slight advantage of experience in this, having grown up in very small towns surrounded by very nearly complete wilderness. i would love to be able to live that way now, but all those little towns and villages, even the buses don't stop there any more, and the trains, what trains there are, don't even slow down.

    when i was little, my dad working in the stations in the little towns, was how i was able to grow up there.

    not that these were really isolated places, as they were, and still are, along major rail and highway corridors, but they were, where such settlements, were a minimum of 30 miles apart, and some a good bit more.

    without rail or bus service today, you just about have to have some kind of a car.

    now the way i think of it, places like that are what having a car is for. they don't belong in cities at all.

    so if and when i ever do get another vehicle, i'll be 'heading for the hills' myself.
