Great story, thanks.
The perfect life for me would be splitting time between an urban home (not suburban, I like city life - forgetting the muggers for a moment) and a remote cabin in the woods.
With a helicopter to make the trip.
One thing I've learned is that once survival needs are met, I don't need much more than family, friends, my dog - and time to enjoy them - to be happy.
Without those, it's just survival.
