Spinoff thread. Most remote, secluded place you've been to.

I know there are a couple posters who've been to Antarctica, which is the most remote place on earth, but any other good stories?

Myself, as a bush pilot years ago I've been to some pretty remote places in Alaska where rescue would have been a long ways away. Other than that, a one day jungle tour in Borneo where I doubt we would have been found.

I'm a bush pilot too, and your mom's bush was pretty secluded when I visited it.

Probably Nevada, halfway between Reno and Wendover. That or western Iraq.

In North Carolina? That ain't really "remote".

Lovely place, though.

North Minnesota has a ton of sparsely populated places where you could believe no one has been out in for quite a while.


The poster that said

COPs don't count, you were around a group of folks.



Spent some time around Sinjar myself.

Yeah. Felt like it though. Wife and I were the only ones on the trail. I haven't really been anywhere totally remote.

Must have been an off time. There were a good number of people there when I did it. And it's only a couple of miles from Brevard, as the crow flies. Lovely area.

Early April. Not spring break. Weekday. We were there for an anniversary trip. Just took a drive down the parkway looking for shite to do. It was a little scary on the edge there.

Conundrum Hot Springs, about an 8-9 mile hike in. No cell service. You get hurt up there, you're not going to have a good time trying to get help any time soon.

ETA: I guess I'm considering my definition of remote as being how quickly can you get help if something goes wrong. For instance, a heli trip deep into the Chugach Range of Alaska isn't remote to me, since you have a heli already there with you.
