A warm cosy house up in the islands - maybe one of those Scandinavian kit houses, with land, a good boat , and livestock - and room for my whole family. :mrgreen:

A sea fort and a helicopter. For my holidays.

An underground house like this but more hobbity for my main residence.

And an underground fortress for when there's trouble.

For other people, I would create a perfect healthcare system, where everyone was fixed and a perfect social care system to ensure everyone had friends and a role in society (unless they didn't want to, but I'd still check up on them now and again). I would pay everyone a good wage, thus ending the need for crime. To back this up, my prison system would be draconian.

I would create the funnest playgrounds in the world with climbing trees; slides; swings; monkey bars; huuuuge hills to bike/skateboard/roll down; things to jump off into big crash mats and pools; bikes that look like they race those mini-bikes on a track but actually they provide the power supply...

That's probably enough for now, the wealth has gone to my head :lol:

my thoughts are mirored in an island west coast, solar tiles and wind genny i didnt think geothermal good one tools welding mecanics stuff, gaz66 for the small jobs , ural 6x4 diesal, microlight aircraft or parachute with fan engine dont need a licence several stills for water, whiskey etc and biofuel ,blacksmith tools a 18 foot boat for fishing with outboard and a 26-36 ft yacht bemudian rig to go any where a large barge for delivering the lorrys like the salvage people have plenty of animals - sheep cows pigs, bees dogs cats young people ,kids seeds, gardening tools it goes on for ever dosnt it steam engine and/ or shire horses steel to make stuff ,wood like half a russian forrest etc,sound system good one music is very important to me and culturaly, instruments guitars fx devices, drums and drum machines, keyboards amps recording gear... I think a balence has to be struck with nature just because tecnology exists dosnt mean its bad how ever the planet is in such a state because everty one wants more plastic crap so I say use it till its gone then make do with natural things hand made acoustic guitar style its hard I like my fx pedals and my electric giutars tho,

Isle of Man would do to start with :)

Some well grown mixed woodland, a goodly bit of south facing hillside into which I could build an Earthship, good pastureland, eclectic mix of food animals (rare breeds), must have a spring or a stream or two, and to round it out, a handful of like minded people within walking distance for back up. We already have a couple of Land Rovers 8-) 8-) They're going to be essential when TSHTF, as are a pair of good solid horses.

my own estate on a hill in dorset somewhere, a few acres, double fencing, 2 entrances/exits with guard room at each, small orchard, normal farmyard animals chickens pigs ducks cows etc, a small wooded area with wild deer...

Main building constructed like a fortress, a small residential area in the main compound for my workers, friends family etc, 3 or more landy defenders, mostly 90's, couple of commercial vans, low height ones, all coloured dark... and obviously a nice car, for my pre-SHTF meetings :)

large bunker/complex under main building (just in case ;) ) armoury, with shotguns, rifles and a few assualt rifles, just in case ;) a few bows/crossbows and melee weapons, ability to reach the sea or river close by, so a boat, nothing overly grand... 2 helicopters, one being a blackhawk or huey would be nice, but a lynx would be good.

only connected to the modern world via a gravel track, and connected with a fibre optic phone line. own mulit fuel generator, with under ground storage tanks with different fuels and water in. direct line to the fuel company, so if we use over a quarter a compnay automatically fills it back up (up until TSHTF)

I'm sure theres more! lol
