RE: #kiss | Off Grid Living - is it (possible) for the ordinary person in England?

Whoooa @shanibeer
What a thorough post!
You've raised some thought-provoking questions about persons living non-idyllic 'off-grid' lives along the streets of many towns here in the UK. Three years ago the streets of Leicester were rampant with such occupants. I had a chat with a few of them because I was concerned. Some explained that most of them were displaced from their homes and basically on low income without living accommodation.
Off-grid living comes with many trials and people sleeping on the streets is something that troubles me...

Off-grid in the UK: Could be challenging, but as you've mentioned, not something cut out for you. It takes energy and planning indeed.
You've spoken about at lot that I would need to look into. Saffron Lane for instance is new to me...

Living on a narrowboat and sometimes seeing the traditional boats gives you an idea of all the different things you have to think about for self-sustainability and all.

this might be a two-part response, because I'm keen to read up and check out some of the links in your post:)
