I think there’s plenty of use for a computer in the woods, particularly for automation, telling time, etc. just not any task that requires internet obviously.
For example, imagine having a solar panel and battery connected to an Arduino that controls some sort of motor or pump and at certain times of the day it turns on and waters your crops. You could even use sensors connected to the Arduino to measure environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture.
Shhh, you’ll attract the solarpunks and then we’ll really be finding out all about the ways of low-tech and high-nature. Some of us have things to do today other than design low-watt high-flow irrigation.
If you want to be private I’d say ditching technology altogether is one of the first steps. Not much use for a computer in the woods anyway.
