Hannah, 44, changed her bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life.'
But as these unique images show, even an eco-warrior requires the periodic check out to the supermarket in their gas-guzzling 4x4.
Recently, Adam, 45, packed up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly store at the big BM supermarket in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their 2 young children have actually based themselves.

'It can be done, of course, however there are a great deal of people who have actually attempted and ignored how hard it is, then been required to search for some other type of paid work instead to get by.'
If that must take place to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of opportunities in the prospering tourist and browsing resort of Dominical, should the couple decide to work.
The town is less than half an hour's drive down the mountain in their huge gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah flaunted on Instagram just recently.

Though some Instagram fans have assumed the couple's wooden house with wonderful views of the sunrise from the balcony would be 'off grid', it likely is not.
More than 99 percent of the numerous vacation homes and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast cooling and high-speed internet as well, delivered either by fiber optic cable or satellite.
Judging by pictures posted by Adam on Facebook in their airy cooking area with a high vaulted ceiling, the family will not lack any mod cons in the home.

One property representative in Dominical told MailOnline: 'There is a really healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by foreigners. A lot of them are digital nomads running their organization from here due to the fact that it's beautiful, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.
'But in fact earning a living from the land is a hard job, unless you have considerable resources and knowledge, or have enough residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying visitors.'

Hannah transferred to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised obstacles consisting of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her stopping S Club 7
It's not understood just how much capital Hannah and Adam have in between them, but their plans to open a holistic food shop in Twickenham had actually to be shelved last year, reportedly since of spiralling expenses.
The commercial residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham town, bought in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was offered in March, having been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam revealed the couple's relocate to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, declaring 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing great deal of them. We GOOONE!!!'.
His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet picture of his two daughters, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their spectacular rain forest home.
But the bitter tone of his invective against politicians of all colors, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every government department and the NHS' raised another concern.
Could an ugly event which saw the couple clash with authorities and social workers three years back over an injury to their baby child have been an element in their decision to give up Britain?
The transfer to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised nightmare few years for Hannah, that included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her uncomfortable departure from S Club 7, a disastrous breast augmentation surgery leading to years of ill health and a spell in rehab to wean her off effective pain reliever.
But less popular is among the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest narrative', concerning a clash in between the couple and social services.
In December 2022, while house-sitting for buddies in Virginia Water, Surrey, press reports branded the couple 'homeless' while they were between rental flats.
When then young child Tora suffered an injury, thought to be brought on by a dog leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely absurd circumstance to be in, absolutely unjustified.'
She recalled the dreadful event when she ran towards the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I encountered in the living space will stick with me permanently. Tora was basing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I've ever seen.'
At the healthcare facility, she wrote: 'Among the nurses was available in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as soon as he left the space, the authorities were waiting for him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was already an awful circumstance had actually ramped up to something inexpressible'.

Hannah declared that media reports about their momentary homelessness had in some way persuaded the authorities that it was likely that a person or other of them had actually inflicted their child's injuries.
She said: 'It's genuinely frightening to believe that somebody with absolutely zero proof can paint a photo like that which influences someone being apprehended and locked up while their daughter depends on a health center bed, waiting for major surgical treatment.'
She added: 'It felt like persecution, among those cops mentions that people speak about.
'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive the individuals accountable, although we've made every effort to forget it, and them, as quickly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their examination, she stated, the family had to reside in lodging where other accountable adults were present.
She included: 'This was adding insult to major injury and bearing in mind my progressive decline in health typically, I was actually starting to anguish.'
It wasn't the first time Adam Thomas had been examined for alleged violence. In 2016, he was charged with attacking Hannah in a domestic argument, and frightening a witness.
But when the case concerned trial, it collapsed, and he was discovered not guilty of common attack and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case might not continue.
Adam Thomas was found not guilty and discharged.
