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.

Property up there is dirt cheap compared to the rest of the UK, so if you could sell up and have some cash, you could set up there quite nicely. Work is hard to come by though so sadly that is stopping us going now at the moment. Plus my other half needs to finishe her PHd.
