The web serial 'The Wandering Inn' has elements of this, though it's fantasy. Certain characters, particularly the Antinium, engage in large-scale, long-term projects of terraforming and living in hostile environments. The survival is woven into world-building, showing how different species adapt their societies to wilderness over generations, not just individuals over months.

You might enjoy 'The River' by Peter Heller. It's about two friends on a canoe trip where things go wrong, but a big part of the first half is the serene, skilled routine of wilderness travel and camping. It transitions into a thriller, but the initial depiction of competent, long-form outdoor living is wonderfully done. Heller writes the outdoors with a fisherman's precise love.

Don't overlook the horror genre for this. 'The Ruins' by Scott Smith isn't about wilderness in the traditional sense, but it's about being trapped in one location (a jungle-covered hill) and the long, grueling process of trying to survive there with diminishing resources. The 'wilderness' is actively predatory and psychological, forcing the characters into a sustained state of siege survival.

What about fanfiction? There's a whole subgenre of 'wilderness survival' AUs for various fandoms, where characters are stranded or choose to live off the grid. Some are incredibly well-researched, with accurate details about building shelters, foraging, and first aid. It's a fun way to explore the trope with characters you already love, and you can often find stories focused purely on the slow life, not just the initial drama.

Look past the obvious 'Into the Wild' stuff—deep wilderness living in fiction often hides in post-apocalyptic or historical settings. 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon' isn't about long-term living, but 'My Side of the Mountain' is practically a manual. For a brutal, almost clinical take, 'The Hatchet' series shows the long haul, not just the initial crash. Some of the best exploration happens in less famous books like 'The Last Light of the Sun', though that's more frontier than pure wilderness.

If you're willing to stretch genres, 'The Long Winter' by Laura Ingalls Wilder is about surviving in an isolated claim, which has a similar feel. For a dark, psychological angle, 'The Road' has wilderness elements, but the focus is elsewhere.

You might find more by looking at 'frontier fiction' as a subgenre—it often gets into the granular details of building a life from nothing, which is the core of what you're asking about.
