New Zealand bush homesteading
If you enjoyed yesterday's
documentary on Arctic
homesteading then you
will most likely appreciate how Robert Long and his family get by
homesteading in the New Zealand bush.
It's a nice short video which takes time to interview the
13 and 16 year old kids and show how they feel about growing up in such a
remote and beautiful setting.

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

At least New Zealand has a better climate than Alaska!
Personally, I wouldn't care for that much isolation, though. I could get along without TV, but without access to at least a library? No way! Truth be told I'd be quite unhappy without internet access.
