There's a special they put on every PBS pledge drive here of some old guy that moved to Alaska and did it, building a cabin with his wife...
Uhh no, the kid who died in Alaska was Chris McCandless. His story was written by Jon Krakauer, in the book Into the Wild.
Its a good book along the lines of your romantism fantasies.
