Where is the ideal place for a UK prepper?
I would really value your opinions on where is, in your opinion, the best place for a prepper / survivalist to set up a retreat, or live in the UK? I'm currently leaning towards rural Northumberland / Cumbria, but I don't know very much about those areas.[/align]

RE: Where is the ideal place for a UK prepper?
Geographically
Cumbria. Northumberland, North-West Scotland, Mid and West Wales, Dartmoor.
But climate is challenging in these places
Realistically:
Somewhere you know very well, that has low population density, fertile land, and reasonable climate

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Pharaoh islands,iceland,greenland,shetlands...pretty much anywhere where the population density is less(be the shetlands for me if i had enough cash to build an off grid pad.
only joking bout the first three!!!! even i know there not in the UK
Shetlands...18000 souls over 80 individual islands ...property / land fairly cheap...quite harsh and cold but i like that.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!

RE: Where is the ideal place for a UK prepper?
trouble is (as we have said before) these are islands, there is a fine amount of land surrounded by water, some are tree less and others are just scrub, a lot of these places the food and supplies have to be shipped in on a regular basis.

the Shetlands have been inhabitted for at least a couple of millenia...things do grow...admitedly not just anything ...peat for fires...fishing ...sheep and ponies....never short of a bit of wind for the turbines...geo thermal heating would work well too...not going to be everyones cuppa tea but i fancy it
