Saying hello!!!!

Post: # 209725Post Nojoke Matt »

Hi all, loads of info on here for me to read so I don't ask the same questions folks have asked before!

Basically I'm looking to experiment with living in a yurt for a bit in a bit of woodland that a local farmer owns and doesn't use. The intention being to live as low impact as possible and at a low cost as possible. Gather free food and make the small amount of money that I need from selling firewood, charcoal and wood procucts.....well that's the idea anyway.

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

It's going to be just outside Nottingham well quite a few miles, but around there anyway. And more of a modern recycled affair.....a Gertee.
