For a single person who wants remote locations I would go with a truck camper that slides in the back of a pickup. You can carry your kayak, bike, etc easily. You can drop the camper and take off in the truck. Your largest costs will be insurance, fuel and camping. The insurance costs are fixed. The fuel you can control by staying in one place longer and not moving around. The camping costs can be controlled by dry camping (boondocking), staying in military campgrounds, state parks, corps of engineers, national parks, etc. I totally think it's doable on $2000 a month. read this blog: www.interstellarorchard.com it's about a young woman who quit her job and took off in a truck and small camper.
