Could. Wouldn't want to though.
I look at modern technology as a blessing and not a curse though.

It is a blessing. Most people just prefer to abuse it

If I could at least have a regular house phone I could. Hell I didn’t even have a smart phone till 2015. Got my first internet in 2009 in my late 20s, I’d be fine.
ETA: Only reason I don’t have a flip phone is because my wife hates the way I text back on them. And she can’t send me videos and very good pictures
Real question: Are you a mega hipster?
I feel like you probably tell everyone about how long you held out on getting the internet and how your wife is the only reason you have a smart phone. You know the kind of person that inconveniences himself just to tell people how they go against the grain of societal norms.
You could also be a normal guy that doesn't need tech and thats cool too i guess.
edit: This is how I picture you:

Not only could I but I WISH I could!

I would bet most who say they could wouldn't he able to.
The world has changed. Cell phones, internet, etc have become ubiquitous in our lives. It would be a complete lifestyle change. It would be no different a struggle than losing weight or quitting smoking.
This would require a long adjustment period that I think most people would struggle with. Especially the sample size of this website that would probably be heavier than normal phone/internet users.

No. It looks like it will get cold in the winter.
Give me a tropical beach and unlimited access to books and I’ll say yes.

You have a car and access to grocery store and hunting and fishing. Could you do it?
The real problem would be getting me to leave after that year is up...

As long as I have a landline, sure.
Posted on 4/11/19 at 12:08 pm to TechDawg2007
for the rest of my life
Posted on 4/11/19 at 12:09 pm to TechDawg2007
Hell yes I could. I could live like that for many years. frick all this technology and cell phones. Wish they never existed

No desire to. I need civilization.
Getting away to some place like that for a couple weeks in the summer would be nice....but not long term.
Also I hate fishing and don’t hunt so I would be bored to tears at some point over the year.
I don’t see many women saying yes to your scenario tbh.

You’d be wrong on all accounts. I never told anyone, people would comment on why I had a flip phone and I’d say something like it being cheaper or whatever. I’m pushing 40, so no not a hipster. My attire is usually jeans, steel toe boots, and white t shirts with a baseball hat so I don’t know if I look like that guy or not. I’ve never had anyone remotely say anything to me about being a hipster or attention seeker. This is an anonymous message board for the most part, hence why I’d comment here instead of other places on these topics.

No. My business would cease to exist.

That’s a picture of every white male liberal. That’s exactly how they all look and that’s a fact that cannot be disputed.

Easily.
Wouldn’t need a tv.
Radio would be nice though.

House looks nice, but I'd need to see the view first. That could be a pond with a trailer park on the other side.
