Going off the grid... with modern technology and a tonne of regular visits to civilisation. So, not really. I'm just gonna be walking between places, sleeping mostly in the wild, but all my kit is made from ultra lightweight fabrics with USB charging ports delivered by Amazon prime and nearly all my food will come from supermarkets paid for using a contactless debit card and so on. I'm not even pretending to be a survivalist.
The kid in the article cheated a lot. Look at all the modern kit he's using to construct his weird place.
Here is a guy who could genuinely survive with nothing... except a nice pair of cotton shorts from the army surplus store and a decent video camera. Total badass. His videos are really well put together too. He's got millions of subscribers and has never spoken a single word on camera.
Peace,
