>>2797615We really don't. We have the smallest amount of forests of anywhere in Europe, and any "forest" you are in you could walk for a few hours or drive 15-30 minutes and be in a built up area.
Anywhere you go, even the highest mountains, you'll be able to see towns and cities. We don't have real wilderness, and the wilderness we do have is inhospitable privately owned featureless moorland that you couldn't live on even if you purchased the land.
We have insanely high house prices and land prices due to being a tiny island that's been subjected to extremely high levels of immigration.
We have oppressive anti-roaming anti-camping laws, with almost the entire country being privately owned and enclosed (with fencing and livestock). The exception being parts of Scotland.
We have the highest energy prices of any developed nation and you can't just buy fuel anywhere like you can in parts of America/Canada. They're bringing in restrictions on burning logs.
We have restrictions on gun ownership which mean no handguns at all, only rifles and shotguns for those with a licence and genuine reason for needing them (hint: you won't be allowed).
We have some of the most tyrannical, anti-freedom anti-freespeech laws of any Western nation and are the most surveilled. Any road you drive on in the UK, the government tracks you by ANPR, and you'll be on hundreds of CCTV cameras when you step out.
Canada is such a better place to be off grid or be a prepper, that it blows my mind anyone would consider this move.
