wilderness living

Wilderness living is the practice of residing in remote, undeveloped natural areas with minimal modern infrastructure.

It ranges from seasonal backcountry camping to permanent off-grid homesteading.

The term often carries connotations of self-sufficiency and deliberate disconnection from civilization: They spent three years wilderness living in Alaska, hunting and foraging for most of their food.
