So why have I decided that I want to go and live in a tent? Well, funny you should ask, here are my reasons...
- I am tired of constantly having to fight just to keep my head above water financially.
- I intend to pay off all debts (about £10k) in as short an amount of time as possible.
- I am tired of living in picket fenced suburbia.
- I am tired of having a fixed environmental overhead that I can do nothing about.
- I am tired of paying council tax when they can't even get community recycling sorted out.
- I love the great outdoors.
- It would make my dog very happy.
- I went to Glastonbury festival... again.
Right, that sets out basically what I want to do, the details will all get thrashed out in the terrible dawning of reality that awaits me, for the time being, I must ride this wave of enthusiasm long enough to make it happen.
Wish me luck.

Dear Benjamin I totally support your project for more reasons than I can mention now. A few years ago I did a 'runner' from the system. I was earning an exceptionally high salary in a private hospital -saw the fake reality for what it was and just 'disappeared'. I went West until I reached the coast in North Devon and moved into a squat (a dis-used stone barn on Tapeley Park). I threw away Radio, television, newspapers etc and began a slow process of UNLEARNING ALL THE CONDITIONING I had been subjected to from Sunday School to University. An amazing experience which allowed me to think my own thoughts again and opened me up to a whole world of natural sensuous
experience. I paid the landowner 'rent' in the form of labour on the estate.
So if any toff has been there, done it, and come out alive on the other side -I have. So Ben, I am right by your side all the way.
