If you’re ready to go off the grid all Walden style, it would be best you planned that whole thing out ahead of time. Just wandering off and figuring it out as you go will most likely result in you being eaten by a bear. Pick up a copy of Rock The Shack: The Architecture of Cabins, Cocoons and Hide-Outs before you go. Rock The Shack is packed with 240 pages of dwellings that connect people back with nature (not with Duane Reades and packed Starbucks). From intricately detailed cabins to sparse tree houses, the book is loaded with getaway porn.
