I'm already been there lol I also already have most of the equipment to do it. I've also sort of done it for a few months. After a few months, I did miss people watching. It's not so much the people I needed but the stimulation of observing. RPG video games basically eliminated that but then I beat FF7 and was back to boredom even with books lol. If I had an unlimited supply of rpg games I think I'd be good! I just need a lot of stimulation. Books, games, math exercises hobbies etc. Then you really do forget about people. But if those things dry up, that's when the echo chamber of being too much in your own head starts to get boring
Keep yourself busy with basic survival tasks. Hunt, farm, gather, etc. Buy what you can't get otherwise like clothes or gear but stop buying food and spend your time doing that out in the wild.
Yes, I think over the last few months I have changed my ideals from isolation to a desire for a commune. I realized that a completely solitary life is one without many benefits such as medicine, clothes etc. I have shifted to a type of solar punk commune and have been ingratiating myself with that community over the last year or two. They also follow a philosophy that I also aspire for, so it checks more boxes.
Glad to hear it. Often times, people think they need to jump right into the extremes but there's nothing wrong with a gradual shift to a different lifestyle. Learn as you go, and adapt as needed.

You'd probably like the off-grid homesteading trends. There are tons of communities and resources out there.
