I am not trying to flex but I have a Sprinter van and camper trailer with a Starlink mount that my wife and I use to "go off-grid" in Wyoming and Montana (Yellowstone, Grand Teton, etc, area). It doesn't suck. If you can make just enough to maintain a lifestyle that keeps you in nature, I highly recommend it.

PS: A lot of people (young and old) in my area of Wyoming do that. They work the high tourist seasons and odd jibs in the low season, then spend the rest of their time out in nature.

This is my retirement plan (I hope). I'd love to do it sooner even if the wife and I both end up with remote jobs. I'd love to just travel all over then US then find a spot to plop down for like a month and explore. After we are done move on to another spot.

I've legit dreamed of doing something like that. My wife and I could pretty easily do our jobs fully remote, but she'd never go for it as she likes to physically be in the office too much. We've also got a baby on the way in a few weeks, so it'd be even less feasible then. Oh well - I can dream.

I had the same thought lol. Especially if there was enough space to put up a workshop next to it.
