Here Are the Best States for an Off-Grid Life

Want to get away from it all—like, for good? If the thought of holing up in a cabin in the woods and disconnecting from the world sounds appealing, LawnStarter has been scouting all 50 states to find where off-the-grid living might work best, looking at nearly two dozen metrics in five key categories: infrastructure (things like how good the roads are, phone coverage, and expected growth in solar and wind power); money factors such as property taxes and cost of living; safety; climate; and overall feasibility, including the water and electricity situation. Curious which state fell dead last? Sorry, New Jersey—there's no escape for you. Here, the top 10 states:

1. Texas
2. North Dakota
3. Wyoming
4. Montana
5. Iowa
6. Kentucky
7. Oklahoma
8. Minnesota
9. New Mexico
10. Missouri
