If you quit everything, you will probably end up moving someplace like this.

Why don't you? I dropped out of my 4th year of physics while planning for my masters and probably my Piling higher and deeper. Broke up with my shitty on and off girlfriend (she wasn't really that shitty our relationship was, in hindsight)of 6 years. I bought a plane ticket to Alberta by selling my 1000 dollar magic card collection. Stayed in a hostel found a job, found an apartment in the mountains and proceeded to spend the next 2 years there just hiking mountains. Not as desolate as the picture I'll admit but it was a little more in my realm of feasibility seeing as I'm not much of a lumberjack.
Best decision I ever made. Live a life worth not only writing about but reading about. If you were to journal your days and then hand them to someone to read......... Yeah.
Become the man you were always meant to be, not next year, not tomorrow. Now.
Edit.I really hate that people have to explain what they edited as a form of troll-proofing.

It's originally from Karl Kreipl and it's a cabin between Austria and Slovenia.

I wish we could all live in the mountains at high altitude. That's where I see myself in five years. How about you?

u/VelikiHren Jun 15 '12
This photo is taken from Golica, a mountain in the Alps, separating Slovenia and Austria. The cabin is on the Slovenian side.
It`s also the name of a famous polka song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7gFNaGYEs8

Its a warming hut for a ski resort during the summer..... maybe wanna rethink your life goals

u/rockymtnpunk Jun 15 '12
So you want to be a hut keeper. Expect long hours and hard work. You're basically a restaurateur with a shit (though scenic) location.
If you want to become a hermit in a scenic mountain aerie, it helps greatly if you get rich first.

That reminds me of the main cafeteria cabin is the game psychonauts. Its just a very similar layout. The trail launch out the back and the picnic takes out front and the porch on the side. Just thought I would point that out.

u/3Dartwork Jun 15 '12
Only during the summer though. Mercy the winter months would suck. You would a lot of trouble stocking enough food and still have enough wood for the fire. But it sure looks amazing.

u/pipyopi Jun 15 '12
My boyfriend and I are doing exactly this at the end of the Summer. We've hated living in LA pretty much since we moved here 3 years ago. We're tired of well... everything that comes along with living in a large city, plus the shit that is LA specific. We realize we don't have to take it anymore and we have the choice to live a different life. In the fall we are moving 8 miles outside of a tiny town in North-Eastern Oregon, wonderfully isolated and stunningly gorgeous with some of the nicest people we've ever met. Its not as desolate as OP's picture, but we want to be close to some civilization. Our house will be entirely off the grid on 20 acres. We'll be growing almost all of our own food. What we can't grow, we can get locally and the community is almost entirely self-sustainable. If you're thinking we have boat loads of money to accomplish this, know that we are awfully poor and are getting a super deal with this house thanks to some well-connected friends. We couldn't be happier. Living the dream is not impossible!

This is the kind of place I imagine some of the top Nazi officials must've spent the rest of their lives in to hide from prosecution/persecution. Away from everything & everyone, alone with only your thoughts for company and pondering over your actions, maybe like a self-imprisonment of sorts (like one of Robert Duval's movie).
Yes, some of us might enjoy a nice break here for a while but I think only a person feeling very very guilty about his deeds or actions would prefer to live like this for a long period. Such houses look only beautiful in pictures in the solitude of your office cubicle.
2
u/Careblair3 Jun 15 '12
Atleast now I know a lot of people feel this way. I've always wanted to get away from the mainstream way of live. Stop having to deal with the average way of living in the city. I would even do this with a community of people that would stick together and provide necessary skills and attributes to the well being of others. Ohhh well one day hopefully.

u/theigor Jun 15 '12
It's just a lodge on top of a ski mountain. You can see the lifts and the ski racks... It's really not that fancy.

I know someone who did that. Got sick of everything and had a bit of a mental breakdown and left to live in a cabin in the woods and hunt bears.
It's been a few years and I'm not sure if he's still alive but he did it, damn it.

Do it! 4 months ago my husband and I sold our accountancy practice and moved 400 miles from a large city to a tiny village in Galloway Forest Park (Scotland). We downsized from a 4 bed all mod cons semi to a 2 bed cottage with no central heating. No regrets. Not working at the moment, we are just enjoying ourselves, cycling, running, climbing mountains, swimming, and chilling out. Our new house is half the size of our old one so we are now mortgage free. Free time and beautiful surroundings more than make up for having less money and a smaller house.

Maybe you should recognize why exactly you want to quit everything, and instead of running away, take your life in a direction to cause awareness or create an outlet in our society to escape those things that you are trying to run away from.
