There was an episode of Ben Fogle new lives in the Wild on the TV the other day, some guy that had trained to be a vet (a good career & relatively well paid some may argue) but he ended up hating it and decided to walk away from it all and go off grid in Wales.
It looked like 'off grid' in Wales wasn't that straight forward though, to achieve his dream he had to partake in the Welsh Government's 'One Planet Development Scheme' where to build on the countryside your home has to be zero carbon in construction and your development has to support who lives there, every year you have to submit reports to the government proving that you're producing at least 65% of your own food and you are able to fund any remaining bills and costs from land-based business - in this guy's case that was selling honey & eggs, there was no mortgage or rent to pay but still had to pay council tax.
From what I've seen on Homestead Rescue it looks like rules & regulations regarding off grid living vary from state to state in the US, there was an episode filmed in Oregon and they seemed quite strict about what you could build and where.
It does make you wonder if achieving the off grid thing in the UK will become harder given the smaller land mass and less free (open) land compared to other larger countries.

It's understandable that people no longer 'trust the science', the experts or TV doctors as it often feels like the health service has been corrupted to benefit big pharma but there's gonna be some alternative quack shit out there, maybe it was a larp or engagement farming but there was someone on X posting about how sunburns are caused by bad diet and gut health ๐
Wouldn't be at all surprised if the companies that make suncream put a load of weird harmful chemicals in it and I don't usually bother with it myself, if it feels like I'm burning I cover up or seek shade but surely everyone can agree that over exposure to the sun can burn the skin, especially unacclimatized pale skin irrespective of one's gut health.


Could do with a car as public transport doesn't really cut it where I am but what I can't be doing with is.... road tax, insurance, extortionate fuel costs (50% of which is tax), speed cameras, MOT's, new tyres, repair bills etc & that's coming from someone who's taken gearboxes out and changed clutches while laying on an old bit of carpet at the weekend in the past.
When you're comfortable with money or drive a company car you don't even think about this stuff!
Do people still use Haynes Manuals or do they just watch YT videos nowadays? How else would you know the tightening sequence and the torque settings for your cylinder bolts?
