Not a problem to have those experiences in my area. If those experiences are important to you, you should consider moving. Otherwise, find hobbies that you like that are compatible with your area. I’m sure there is something to do in your area that is worthwhile.
Having just traveled through Montanna, I thoroughly agree with your assessment. The freedom I felt out there and the scenery I saw spoke to me for sure. I went through about a dozen places I was ready to put money on the table to get a chunk of that land. That being said, the wife isn't keen to moving to Montanna and I don't like snow so winters are out for me. She did however open up the idea of a cabin for summer retreats but that is probably a decade away if ever.
