If you do move abroad then it might be handy to have a qualifacation such as TEFL - Teaching English As A Foreign Language. Lots of opportunities to earn enough to keep you going.
Well I hope you go ahead with it and that it works out, Im sure it will be great if you can become completely self - reliant, I think the hardest thing will be disposal of sewage and waste, Ive seen reed beds used to process sewage but I dont know how you would go about it.
do that thing where you bury a container. there was a thread on it recently. youre not getting spotted by plane if your two feet underground!

You're not exactly going to be inconspicuous whilst you're digging a 20' x 8' x 10'6" hole, and creating a 40 ton mountain of earth. Containers don't just magic themselves underground.
Big respect for you mate, this is something I have dreamed of for years but is still way out of reach (and I think the missus would kill me!!).
Think the France idea is a good one, you can pretty much do as you please there, once you buy land, it is yours to do with as you wish (slack planning laws).
Good luck,
Mike
