I vote for the shoshone national forest between the wood river and dubois in Wyoming. I saw a wolverine up there. And no people for days and days.

Either the western edge of the pasayten wilderness, or the eastern edge of North Cascade National Park in Washington. Access up Ross Lake which is in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Hiking into either of those two areas from Ross Lake will guarantee you will be very unlikely to see another person.
Be prepared for some very rugged conditions, lots of nearly vertical country.

I would choose the U.P. of Michigan. There are places there that are secluded and private. Casey from F&T told me the same thing during one of our many talks on the telephone, he said there are places out there still that only the Indians know about. Yep a pretty place to starve! LOL Love the UP but it's hard place to live.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

There's lot of places where if you were away from your vehicle, people would have a hard time finding you even if you're only a few miles from a road. People have to want to be in an area for most interactions to occur. Check out a map of the Buffalo Gap Nat'l Grasslands in sw SD. South of SD-44 but east of the Cheyenne River and just north of the Pine Ridge Reservation, there's x number (I haven't looked at the map for a while) sq. miles of grasslands that probably has cattle on them but no people. I bet if you walked in on one of the 2-track trails and got of it for a mile or so and did a non-fire, no colorful tent style primitive camping, no one would come by in a week or more, especially say late May through June. You might find other native vision quest people on the other side of the reservation line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcIIQyENrWY

I trap that county and Dirt is accurate about it. Dawes county also towards the NW corner. I trap private and federal ground and rarely see a soul because there just aren't many roads. When I'm off onto ranch roads, you are "off the grid". It's not the Alaskan bush or Canadian bush of course, but it's quiet none-the-less.

I remember watching one of Gary Jepsen's epic trapping videos, I forget which one... but it was like watching a major motion picture the production was done so well.
In the beginning, Gary spoke the the importance of having adaquate horses - forget motor vehicles - we're talking horses....which are to be rotated, and using two horses at a time.
So I am assuming where he was trapping in the film was pretty (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) far away from civilization.
I'll have to dig out those video's and see if they state where they were filmed.
All I know is that the spaces were completely wide open, with nothing in view for miles around if I recall correctly. Believe its in his snaring video Now days "wilderness" is not what it means. Here in arkansas, you can get off the path and not see people, but you might hear them on their machines
