Only cold below -25 C scares me. That's one advantage of having grown up in northern europe. ;) I'm not saying I like cold, I don't, but it doesn't bother me that much.
 Sadly though, my wife does not like overly warm climates. I would be perfectly happy in florida or texas, but that is waaaay too warm for her. So northern US it is.

 Two or three hundred meters elevation to get you above

 hot in the summer, not Wokie-infested Yankeeland.

We will see. When the wife drags me on a trip to the US, we'll stay for 2-3
weeks atleast and then there will be plenty of scouting.

 In my youth I often thought about moving to
 Alaska - even bought a .375 H&H for bears.
 NOW I don't wanna be more than 30 minutes from
 the docs and hospitals Just In Case.

 Who hasn't ever thought about moving to alaska? I too, have a dream about a small, remote, off grid cottage, where local trading is a thing, and where income taxes are a thing of the past. ;)
 All fun and games, until you cut yourself and the wound gets infected. ;)

 Aw ... those damned PRACTICAL issues again  :-)

I saw a documentary once about a guy who wanted to prove to himself that he
could survive alone on an island in the pacific. His experiment lasted 2 weeks
until a cut got infected. Off to hospital he went. Then he came back, and after
that, with some re-supplies I think he made it, but it took a heavy toll on his
mental health.

This is what I would count on! ;)

This is the truth!

 The re-distribution of the original Texas territory
 sets the legal precedents.
