I am quite intrigued by this and wondered what others thought.

Basically in this country, we view survivalism as defecating in the woods, whilst eating roots and rodents for a week. In the US and other parts of the world, where it is possible to get truly remote, it is viewed as something else, preparing for the break down of society. Despite a Hollywood obsession with this and road trips, it really hasn't caught on as a thing here, I thought.
I am not trying to make a big political point here, this guy is both running a business and is a Brexit Party candidate. In my glass half full world, everything will be okay as long as sufficient people are prepared to pay into society. If things go seriously wrong, I am not sure I would be prepared to hole myself up on a farm in Cambridgeshire and take pot shots at strangers, looking for somewhere safe to sleep and a meal. This is definitely an island perspective. I have spent quite a long time arguing over this and gun control with Americans and I can understand perfectly why in a society with an infinite number of firearms, it is difficult and maybe not wise to opt out. Also that given the scale of the place, you can live off grid at some scale, without bringing yourself to anyone's attention. I just don't think it can work here and I suspect the odds are against it happening.
