Surplus Backpacks

Do you ever fantasize about living in the wilderness?
I used to daydream about it a lot, never too seriously. But recently I’ve been thinking about it very seriously.
A little background info:
I’m 35 years old. I hate my job. I tried starting my own small business, but it never got off the ground. My son lives in another state, so I never get to see him anyways. I don’t have a woman. I don’t have any friends. I don’t own my own home. There’s really nothing here that I would miss.
I’m not getting any younger, and this is the only life I’ll ever have. Do I want the second half of my life to just be more of the same? Or do I want to do something bold and adventurous?
I could buy a backpack (a rugged one, maybe from an army surplus dealer) and load it with the best survival gear available. Then just disappear into the wilderness somewhere. Alaska sounds nice.
eh, ye’ll need more then a backpack, but go for it, when I’m old enough ta move and get my research done I’ma gonna move near tha mountains, perhaps in Spain, I like living alone, its beautiful and best of all quiet, being self-sufficient first is a must, try getting some lessons, and ye’ll need to make a few trips ta where yer staying, so ye’ll need ta know how ta secure things while yer away as well.
Eventually ye might be able ta skin some critters ‘nd cure their skins, sell em to tha closest town once a year fer some profit, then use tha money to replenish any supplies, or get a new chopping axe or such.
Which reminds me ye’ll need some repairing gear if yer going.
