You make good points about the viability of going off grid in the Uk. Surely different from SA.

Societal breakdown is a recurring theme. And so is disruption in food and energy supplies. And water.... Water's an odd one. Incredibly reliable here and taken for granted. Anyhow. I look forward to reading your contributions
Don't be shy
Thanks for thank link, I appreciate it!

I do agree that water is not as much of an issue here as it is in other places which is a great relief, simple water catchment options in the yard with a tarp and a bucket of sorts will yield amazing results in a pinch

Tarp is a great way to catch water. Been meaning to get one for ages for that purpose. You just reminded me. I need to get one, just had massive expenses over the last year. But I think I want one I could use as a shelter, reasonably light weight. I do have a lightweight tent in my BOB.
