What other areas in the US except Alaska attracts a lot of people just going into the wild?

Like someone just decides to quit his job and his life and move somewhere and live a simpler life. Hunting fishing and things like that.

    Everywhere. Every US state has at least a little nature. Now, the grass fields of Kansas, Desert of West Texas, and forests of Michigan are all going to give VERY different lives. Still, and I can’t emphasize this enough, the U.S. is so MASSIVE that EVERY state has rural parts with little to no people in it.

    I think a couple good contenders for this question include Colorado and Wyoming. Maybe if you want to be closer to civilization, I think Michigan is an excellent pick as well.

    Any of the mountain ranges (Sierra’s, Rockies, Appalachian, almost certainly others I’m forgetting) I imagine would have spots you could pull that off if you really wanted

    Most states have rural areas where it would be possible to live simply, provided you can purchase land and have enough money to meet your basic needs.

    Not many people just say “screw it” and walk into the woods. That wouldnot be sustainable or advisable.

    Montana’s pretty famously wild. To be honest, most of the states still have wilderness of some sort.

    Oregon (or the Pacific Northwest in general), Montana?

    Montana was a top destination back in the 1990’s. Get a little shack in the woods, do some writing, tinker around with…stuff…

    Flying between Denver and Phoenix there are huge swaths of land without a road or any signs of human presence

    Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico and Idaho. You could do this in almost every state though.

    Arkansas is “The Natural State.” Lakes, hiking, fishing, camping, etc. The only problem is that cell service isn’t great in all these places, so you have to play it safe and come prepared.
