So you want to buy a farm?

Wooden hoes. No modern medicine either. You have to make sacrifices for true self sufficiency.

For clothing, you grow it. Between Flax, wool, furs, and cotton you can grow something anywhere (except near the poles). Having to grow clothing and shelter more than doubles your needed land area in some places.

OK, but then, how do you make your wooden hoes? With wooden tools? Wooden knives and saws? How do you sew your clothes? With wooden needles? Sooner or later, don't you need some metal somewhere? If you don't have it, aren't you essentially living a Stone Age existence?

pretty much stone age. Anything more than that depends on civilization. Even stone age depended on civilization for the most part.
