One Year Alone in Forest of Sweden Building a Log Cabin

I think it really depends on the country/province. Here in Ontario, it's pretty common to find little hunting shacks or small cabins out in Crown land. My understanding is all you need is written permission from the MNR, permission which understandably depends a lot on what you're building.

Interestingly, if you're First Nations, those laws don't apply to you and you can essentially build whatever you like on Crown Land, provided you can make the case it relates to your cultural heritage.

In BC, we just discovered a small abandoned village in the woods[0]. It was not far from Vancouver. It was used by Japanese avoiding internment during WW2.

There are many places where you could build and live the rest of your life without seeing another human (all on crown land) if you are so inclined. I don't hate society quite that much yet, but I'm keeping it in my back pocket.
