Hi,
Reading what I think your reason is - that you could use a connection to the outside world - maybe it could be ham radio. I say that, thinking you might just like some sort of connection w/ other people in general, not specific people. For not a whole lot, you could take a little HF radio and an antenna, solar power or battery, and talk w/ random people around the world. Or, maybe, depending on where you're at, you could talk to people w/ 2 meter radios and a repeater someplace halfway nearby.
I'm not trying to push ham as a substitute for Internet at all, or suggest it for someone that doesn't have any interest. Just that if you're looking for some kind of connection to feel less isolated, ham could do it. And this is coming from a guy that, in my 20's and 30's I would love to be away and not talk to anyone...that's why I like being nowhere. But now I can see the other side in my old age, that having someone to ******** chat with would be nice.
