Van Life
Any thoughts on the concept of living from a vehicle? At the moment I'm earning good money in a job but instead of looking for a permanent address I've decided to spend £30 pm on a mailing address, living from my van, and making arrangements for laundry and washing facilities. I'm a big believer in ...

Re: Bugging out in the UK
I think the British countryside wouldn't really offer much in the line of foraging, or cover, or even the ability to avoid other people if that was an issue. Has anyone considered bugging out within an urban enviroment?, as in finding a location on some brownfield that wouldn't be very attractive t...

Re: Bugging out in the UK
Regarding shelter, just having some sort of cover that was dry would suffice. As long as you have dry warm kit to put on at night then you'll be okay. The ability to dry out waterproofs, and wet clothing would also be handy. You're right, but drying clothes that way is a miserable experience. Also ...

Re: Bugging out in the UK
I've been thinking about this for a little bit. If I had to bug out I wouldn't go far. I'd leave my (rented) home but unless there was some enviromental risk I'd stay in and around the area I know. All I would want from my enviroment is clean water and fuel (dead wood). I have basic water filtration...

Bugging out in the UK
Forgive me if this is somthing that's been coverd before. I know that it's been stated in various threads that bugging out in the UK, given the population density, urban nature of most of the country isn't an option. However is the idea of having a retreat or some location you can move to, so far fe...
