You probably have too many skills and wouldn't have failed in a dramatic fashion
I actually applied for Season 1, got a phone interview but then didn't hear anything back so I guess I'm not the sort of person they are looking for
As I have already said in my original post, I'm not looking for a place to go in the UK, I'm looking where to go in the world, the first place I mentioned having looked at was Sweden.

You know, I kind of forgot that bit.
Well, Australia isn't all that bad a choice then. But never talk about 'bushcrafting'. It's just life in the outback.
Australia has the highest proportion of population in urban areas in the world. In other words, Crocodile Dundee is a rare character, the vast, vast majority live like a poor copy of Neighbours.
I was pretty lucky, growing up on a farm, to work with the closest thing to a Croc Dundee anyone could meet. He'd worked most of his life in the outback, made a living crocodile hunting (for skins), donkey/goat shooting and general work as a jackeroo (Aussie cowboy). He taught me how to use an adze to shape fencing, how to strain wire fences without tools and gave me an advanced course in talking Australian bull****. I already knew how to break horses. He also had the most incredibly broken body I've ever seen on a man who was still walking.
So I guess what I'm saying is that it is possible to live a life where building wooden structures from what lies to hand, eating what you can shoot *is* possible but it is a very hard road to travel.
Bad luck. But still, the national parks there may be a possibility.
It is a wise person who knows their limitations. The heat is very hard to work in. I'd rather labour outside in a north English winter than an Australian summer.I love the idea of living in the outback, it seems like a beautiful place, but I am terrible with heat and that would just be too much for me! I've been struggling with this British summer and it's not even that hot lol. Maybe I could adjust though...
Ideally I'm looking for a Boreal forest type area with long winters!
Try our country Billy. Forest for thousands of miles. More forest than USA!! No roads in much of Northern Canada. Up her here in NWT you can spend weeks or months and you won't see another person. And you canoe any where you want too.
"I think" is just your opinion man.I think the second the OP started cutting branches off trees he would have broken the "exercised responsibly" part of that act. Right to roam does not imply right to do whatever you want.

With the greatest of respect, (I think ) and your ( opinion ) mean nothing... Read the Code... and perhaps give Billy a bit of credit, he did say,And a very reasonable opinion at that.
You guys can call the shots on your patch, I have no problem with that, but not up here, whether you like it or not, Scotland has the ancient and traditional right to roam. SAOR ALBAI have every intention of doing this responsibly and with minimal impact to the environment,
