Hi Nathan,
You have almost exactly echoed sentiments I have held for more than the last decade.
I just have to get out of this madness, but have the same issue as you(and I guess most other people that want to escape)... that of work in a remote location. I am an electrical engineer in the oil&gas industry and while I like it most of the time, I'm not in love with it.
I have been trying to come up with a small mail-order home business that could be run from a quiet rural town with a half decent post office. Nothing that is going to make me rich, obviously, but something that can comfortably pay the bills and leave me some pocket money.
I have been watching the rural property listings for some time now(and buying the occasional lotto ticket on the kazzillion to one chance I'll be one of the lucky buggers), but still haven't been able to make the decision to just go for it. With stress at work and recent trips to the girlfriends family farm, that decision has been getting much closer of late.
