Living in the mountains

Me and my friends decided that it will be good for us to go live in the mountains without technology. The reason for this is that we feel like the life that we're living has to many technology and in a way it takes away the point of living. I mean we basically just go to work to make money and support our family. Of course we want to be there for our family, because we have kids and we love them, but would you live permanently in the mountains if you didn't have a family?

@tushky7 @bacon147 I'd never live in the mountains. That's a rather drastic decision. If you think through the life you lead, you'll certainly find ways how to live sensibly with technological progress. Nobody forces you to become slaves of your gadgets.

@MALUSE Yes no one forces us to become slaves to technology, but the thing is that we become slaves without even noticing it. While we may not have electricity, we certainly do have running water. In most mountains, if not all, you will find some source of clean running water. If you still doubt the safety of the water you can always boil the water and let it cool before you drink it.

Living in the mountains without electricity and running water is certainly not heaven. That's a romantic notion which you may not have thought through to the end.

if you grew up in the city, thats gonna be tough cause youre going to learn to live backwards in terms of communication and how things work without washing machine, tv, oven, etc.

No, I won't. I don't want to live alone far from civilisation. What if something bad happens to me? What if I go hurt? Who would bring me to the hospital and without technology, who would I call for help? It's scary. But if you tell me to live in a beach not on the mountains, I would. It's easier to get to civilisation compared to the mountains. I don't think I would have neighbours in the mountains too.
