I intend to stay where I an initially, I'm part way up a hill tucked into a depression in a hillside, it's a good defensive position that isn't particularly well known, people who've lived in the area their whole lives don't realise it's here. As for water, we already capture rainwater and store it in IBCs for supplying water to the paddocks, garden and toilets. We have a great many springs in the hills surrounding us but none mapped on our hill. Although I do ferret, trap and shoot I'm more of a farmer and gardener. I have been improving the forage in my area by adding hazel, beech, apples, greenguages, damsons and plums to the hedges. I grow figs, strawberries, black grapes, heritage cucumbers and tomatoes in my greenhouse while outside in the garden I grow seasonal vegetables. Travel without a vehicle in my area would be difficult at first becoming harder as the roads fell into disrepair but as I said earlier I would definitely want to head to the coast for part of the year, (probably by bicycle) where I would set up gill nets and long lines to fish intensively. Cold smoking any catch would allow me to preserve a good amount of protein. Im reasonably good at foraging cockles, limpets, razor shells etc. I'm very into kayaking and I'm comfortable on open water. I think cashing a kayak with some goods inside it would be possible at one of my secondary bug out sites but I haven't done so yet because I don't have a spare.
