In fairness, they probably already have. But that's not my issue whether they have or not.
This challenge will set me up with a much better understanding of what is available and what isn't. At the end of the day, I'll become a much better person as a result, and it will allow me to speak about my experiences, which means that I'll not be blowing smoke (I'm taking some cigars, so maybe I'll be blowing some smoke haha).
This weekend I'll be learning some intense survival skills, especially as it's just started bombing it down outside with crazy rain. Wish my BOB had an umbrella attached haha.

You could always just hop over the gate. If the skips are locked, quite a few of them have flexible lids and if you push up on the corner then work your way along, you can sometimes pop the lock without breaking it. We used to do it so often that they stopped locking them haha
Remember, if it's in a bin, it's not stealing, it's recycling haha

trouble with that Scythe, is its on the supermarkets land, so in theory we could be charged with THEFT and probably BREAKING & ENTERING as well, so its probably not worth the effort, like i say AFTER TSHTF is another matter!

If you don't get caught then you've done nothing wrong

Okay, phones are nearly fully charged, so it's time to get ready to set into the woods.

Interesting side note.
Contents of skips are not the property of the owner of the land but the owner of the sip. Thus is tescos put something in a skip it is actually theft for them to take it back out. I would imagine that is never prosecuted but the skip owner may choose to prosecute you. However, how would they know?
So the only issue you really have is trespass and if you just went for the skips they probably would not be bothered.

my main point is NOT the legality but the ACCESS to such skips, maybe perfectly accessible in the larger cities but in our nearest town(population 5,000) there are 3 supermarkets-not huge ones-but ALL the skips are behind high locked gates so getting to any discarded food is not easy and downright difficult, and unless your a blooming athlete( or your name is Scythe ) impossible!

Scythe take pics of the food you find and this steam collection thing you’re talking about I myself have never tried that, btw collect rain water as soon as you get there or read this, would be interesting to see what grub you get very early into the season.
Good Luck have fun but most of all make sure you don't go in to deep this time around in case you encounter problems.
