THE WOODLANDER

Simon, aka The Woodlander, has been living a decentralised, off-grid life for nearly a decade. He doesn't even have a bank account. I think I'm going to join him. Who's coming with us?

I’m really excited to share this wonderful conversation with the man behind The Woodlander Initiative. A grassroots movement buying plots of land in rural locations around the UK for recreational use and building off-grid communities.

The overarching aim of The Woodlander Initiative is to take back control of our land, our freedoms and our future. They wish to create an environment where an alternative to the planned global technocratic transhuman vision can flourish and lead to a brighter future with a more traditional founding of family, nature and community.

Music to my ears.

Simon, aka The Woodlander, was involved with a number of independent political parties through the 80s and 90s before realising the political system is where good men go to waste their time and squander precious resources that could be put to good use elsewhere. In particular, by investing in land and physical infrastructure.

As someone interested in building a parallel system, it’s a real inspiration for me to meet someone who’s already walking the walk and moving well beyond theory to establish his own independent way of life outside of global, corporate control.

You can follow Simon via his excellent YouTube channel, where he posts regularly. You can find out about The Woodlander Initiative on their website, where you can also sign up as a member of the community, and even buy some land.

I think I’ve just seen a glimpse into my future. And maybe the rest of the country’s future, too.

I hope you enjoy the discussion as much as I did.
