Several smaller trial 'holidays' along the same lines, starting in the summer and gradually building up to longer periods outside in the winter?

Are you on the run?

A fat wad of cash and a list of local hotel numbers for when you decide you cba anymore

One of those maps they give out in McDonald's and BK showing the location of all their restaurants.

Why scotland?

Infact before you answer me that, tell me, have you just finished polishing off a bottle of scottiish whisskey whilst watching ray mears? although an air gun, maybe sas are you tough enough?

A snare? An airgun? What exactly do you expect to hunt?

If you want a survival experience brush up on some spanish and hit south america or something.

boiling water to drink will get tedious, maybe some iodine purifying tablets.

I thought of something else with regards to 'tenting' tbh...

Genuinely lol'd at that.

Possibly because we have less restrictive outdoor codes that allow camping virtually anywhere.

This would be well cool, but is completely unfeasble.

Sounds like a drunk in a pub idea...

 

[Dunks]

I'm Scottish and even I can think of better places to travel around for a year...

It's not unfeasible at all. Providing he doesn't need to work, can get himself to Scotland in the first place and has money to feed himself. There are plenty of "proper" campsites which offer shower/wash facilities if he's feeling stinky and he can cook his own food.

The OP'll be dead within a month

That is one of the most ridiculous ideas I've ever read on an internet forum.

I know, living in scotland - he would be safer winging it in somalia.

Why am I still taking the OP's idea seriously...

 

["andy"]

i guess he chose scotland because your allowed to camp anywhere.

but OP should just get an easyjet flight to europe and do it. in the summer

If you have no commitments and fancy something potentially very different, then go for it

if this is purely drunken post-pub talk then boo-urns to you
