If you buy land you should be able to live however you want to, on it! So sick of government and council ‘rules’ and ‘regulations’.. it’s ridiculous! Love the train home 😍😍
@@thedarklandsmusic NO! NO there doesn’t ‘need to be rules’! If you OWN land, you should be able to do whatever you want on it! And, oh no, we couldn’t possibly have ‘ugly’ buildings could we? They might OFFEND your precious, entitled, aesthetics! And that’s soooooo much more important than caring about people who are homeless… 😡😡
@@thedarklandsmusicThere's no laws against mcmansions. There's laws against doing the right thing like wind energy or vegetable gardens in your front yard.
This is one cool dude, this is why government should relax building regulations and let people live how they like. This is better than any mansion hands down.
@@sweetnawesome23 I believe its the best way, it's clear our government puts Asylum seekers Before there own British People Hence why we have one of the biggest homelessness Rate in Europe. Fresh of a boat you will get everything 5 star hotels free food Benefits laptop, mobile phones free dental care, if your English Born you will get nothing and told to abide by the rules. This will only speed up the process of people living how they like to survive and cut costs Because the government are not in the Real World The people paying taxes and going to work will turn into Mad Max because they have had enough.

Legend! What an inspiration. Your channel is doing a great job in highlighting folk who use initiative whether by choice or necessity and you make them the heroes of each film and not yourselves. Well Done.
I was born 5 miles south of where you are. I was always disgruntled that I could not buy in north norfolk due to the price increases from the London invasion. Thank you for showing me the light and that it is possible!
Living my dream. Well done to this man. I love all the recycled materials. This home looks amazing. Well done. More people should be like this man. Thank you for showing your lovely home, it's so interesting.
Absolutely fantastic! what a geezer wonderful set up and he looks so comfortable and happy.must admit I’m rather envious.I’d live there at the drop of a hat,well done sir 👍.✊🙏❤️👌
Wonderful vids, great characters, and STUNNING cinematography. So lovely to watch these real stories... I can't wait for more videos. The faces behind the camera are alright too.
The carriage and round house are definitely amazing spaces! Congratulations Reuben, and thank you for granting us a peep into your home. I can't wait to check out your channel!
I lived in a small village near York when I was a young child. Post war clothing was hard to obtain, and some of my garments were altered by a dressmaker. At the bottom of her garden were two railway carriages, where she had her business. It was a fascinating place to visit.
This is becoming one of my favourite channels for this type of thing, great to get a perspective on this way of living from different people. All very interesting characters. He's got a good setup, love the round building and the fact they left some of the original features in there. Another good video.
I love to see peoples alternative ways of living and there's a few channels out there that show tiny houses etc but they are always in New Zealand Australia or USA etc. So nice to see it in the UK! Keep more of these vids coming. 👌👌👌
We used to see that a lot on the smallholdings when I was a kid, and the people living in them were as happy as Larry.Then the coucil compulsory purchaced the land to sell it off to developers to turn it into an industrial park. Same thing with the post war Aluminium Prefabs. People loved them. Warm and cosy, enough room to swing a cat around and low cost to buy and heat. But the council in its wisdom decided that they weren't posh enough, so they turfed everyone out and demolished them, then built a few high priced houses in their place. I live in Horden, Co.Durham now and the council here are making plans to demolish the pit rows and erect "Luxury houses". Where they are going to rehouse the owners and tenants who now live in those rows, god only knows, because there's already a shortage of housing stock and liitle in the way of industry to support luxury living, and it's for certain that those now living here won't be able to afford these Luxury Homes, because most of them are either pensioners or out of work younger ones, living on benefits.
That's cool!!!) I enjoy watching your videos. Great stuff. A lot of constructions on the land with different purpose. I like the way Reuben made that place so cozy!
This video is a keeper! I grew up in the 60s & 70s 🙃 The Whole Earth Catalog & Mother Earth magazine & books was my entry to living sustainably. His passenger train reminds me of an article where they used an old/antique passenger section as a back yard "getaway". This man's home is his castle. 👍& very well done. TU for sharing 👍
I'm a yt addict and this is my new favourite channel! Love all your hard work! You should stop the videos very briefly at some point near or after midway to ask for a like, stating it will help with the algorithm - this gets people liking fast!. Your like-to-view ratio should be sooooo much more.
Thank you so much! We're so glad you like our videos, we have many more coming out. Thanks for the feedback, too. we will definitely take that on board, it would be good to have more likes, haha. we're just figuring out the right balance of including ourselves in the video.
Lovely to see a ‘creative thinker’ these people threaten the establishment/established way of living and doing. And Lordy after the last few years we need them……. Great interview.
Fantastic! Hard graft has paid off on an amazing Utopian plot! Hoping to find a plot also and do something similar, you half-inched my idea utilizing the redundant Telephone poles!! Nice one, Top Bloke... ;)
If you buy land you should be able to live however you want to, on it! So sick of government and council ‘rules’ and ‘regulations’.. it’s ridiculous! Love the train home 😍😍
problem is, if you let people just build what they like, your going to have really ugly McMansions all over the place.. there has to be rules

The tension between personal freedoms and responsibilities to wider society ey?
This is one cool dude, this is why government should relax building regulations and let people live how they like. This is better than any mansion hands down.
No thanks, I don't want people setting up randomly destroying what little wildlife we have left.
I agree that *some* regulations need to be relaxed, but not all, otherwise we'll end up with all sorts of Mad Max type scenarios!

Let everyone live off grid? Never. The government would no longer have the control it requires to run the system as it currently functions.
What a bloke, living the dream.
This guy knows his station in life.
Great pun 👌🏼
I would say every person who watches this wishes they could live like this , awesome 🤩

Definitely a character 😁 and that place is like a tardis I wasn't expecting the size inside
What an interesting guy saw him on George Clark's amazing spaces years ago lovely to see he's enjoying life

Yep, ticks all the boxes for me👍 and I also have a history of living in not houses. Thanks for the tour👍
How flipping cool! You are very talented craftsman . It’s great to see humans living their best life ❤️

Excellent way of living. I love it . His enthusiasm is infectious too!
