Many times, it really doesn't matter if you're 30 miles from anything, or 300.
If your vehicle breaks down, how screwed are you?
Do you have cell coverage to call for help?
Will anyone be passing by to flag down, any time soon?
How far away is the nearest LEO agency, fire department, ambulance?
How far away is the nearest place for water, food, etc?
- nl 2y agoIt really depends on the reasoning for wanting to be remote. Some people just love not having people around, in which case you really want low average weekly population density within say 5-10km (out of easy visibility and hearing). Some people are concerned about civilization collapse or civil war or... something (ie, the prepper type). In that case you can imagine population dispersing away from (and possibly towards) major population centers over a period of months, and you want true isolation.
- murkt 2y ago> LEO agency I know you didn’t mean Low Earth Orbit agency, but the thought is funny. If you’re not more than 1000+ km from the nearest satellite, you’re not in a remote area!
