Years ago I saw a documentary on the BBC about a guy living the the outer hebrides, cant remember why he was there but what i do remember is he managed to build quite a substantial garden shed / tool store / workshop entirely from pieces of floitsam and jetsam he found over a year along the beach.
I once considered it but economics mean I cant do it but in my original plans I think I worked out to be comfy there was a few items I would need to buy down here and take them with me. This included two large very heavy duty greenhouses. a portable gas stove, a cast iron wood burner, a B & Q mini wind turbine and a pair Maplins biggest solar panels. Some beach casting fishing kit, a diesel quad bike, a set of upvc double or triple glaszed window units, a new UPVC front door etc. The cost of buying big kit up there costs a fortune.
