Is it possible to survive living as a hunter/gatherer anywhere in modern Britain? This would mean surviving only on wild plants and animals (no poaching farm animals or stealing veg from peoples gardens!).

It would be possible to do so, if it were`nt for the fact that all land belongs to a someone who would take exception to you hunting on "their" land.
The feral animals [deer, rabbits etc.] in this country belong to no man/woman. The fish in rivers and lochs {sea and land locked} are pretty much the same. The main problem that you would have is catching and killing them.
Fishing from virtually every stretch of river bank is governed by licences that will allow you to fish. Most are patrolled by baillifs, who have a lot of legal power to support them.
Shooting or snaring feral animals is pretty much the same.
If I were to be living this kind of lifestyle, I would head for the north-west coast of Scotland. Where I would have access to sea-life.
With woodland behind me for shelter, firewood and fresh running water.
However, the w. coast can prove to be a wet climate. Further, inland is colder as is the east coast which does not have the advantages of the west.
Ignore the soldiers advice, there taining does not allow for them to act on impulse or initiative.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

yes it is.... iv done this for 6 months when i was a lot younger .... in Scotland .. the best book to get for any info on this is " Ray mears" and the SAS manual .. But i would say take a Spring powered air rifle just in case your traps dont work.!! Also you cant live just on Rabbit . This is because there is very little protein in Rabbit meat.

Yes entirely possible, there's plenty of seasonal wares to be had as well as the wildlife.
I'm not sure where you could do it though, nowhere's untouched, you'd probably get reported for not paying tax on your treehouse.

You could just sleep under a bridge like 350,000 other people in the UK.

Yeah i'm sure its possible, but not sure where as much of the land, moors, forests etc are either national parks, conservation or owned by farmers.

No - there's no space any more.
Native vegetation - not interesting
Animals - Foxes taste nasty, but rabbits might be the way to go.
