You live in the SOUTH of England (so you said) it is almost impossible to be too far from civilisation with a density of people approaching the Netherlands. Fair enough, your idea of isolation may be different from mine but I can't see much foraging or hunting for food, I've lived down there (during the week) couldn't wait to drive the 400 miles home, far too many people for me mate.

Between les Canadians and the Toronto loserleafs it is a joke about what is la Hockey . For Les Civil matters we leave that to the tree huggers in B.C. And the tete squares in Ottawa . That is where we come back to la 12 volt off grid. Because we want ottawa off the grid with 12 volts running up there's Question do you really find it cheaper to be off grid ?

My favourite is the old guy on the Alaska trains programme with one eye and a hook on the stump where he shot his own hand off, that is one tough dude. But you can sense that he is coming to the point where he gives up or dies because of lack of medical attention. Due to house prices a lot of people are living on houseboats, but costs are rising as it is becoming more popular. There is very little free land to purchase in the UK, and even when you do there will be a thousand laws to contend with. You cannot really legally live off the land for meat and fish supplies unless you have enough for a smallholding. The UK weather is not great for solar energy and there aren't many other alternatives. So although you can live outside of the mainstream it is actually difficult, as you cannot truly live off the land you are forced into earning money somewhere. My pimping empire hasn't so far strayed into rentboys, but if you're interested and at the 'bottom' of your savings I'm sure a few Tinder contacts can earn us both a few bob, especially when you mention turd drying ? We can get guys who will bend over backwards to help you, do you have a tight pair of jeans for the advert? How about a picture of the way into the boat's bathroom with 'Grab the taps' or glueing a gold sovereign to the galley floor? leave it to Rob. ps referring to the title we can include AC/DC - 'I plug into anything' ? coolmd 1

For strangers the UK is riddled with canals post industrial revolution (yes we were the first), there was no standardisation of canals for width and depth (or length of locks come to that}. Consequently boats are of different sizes, narrowboats are VERY narrow, canals are mostly leisure and for you visitors a great way to see the country but research needed. The Caledonian canal is spectacular, I have done it both ways. coolmd 1
