He Lives In a TRAIN! | Off Grid Alternative Home

Step into the world of Reuben, and see how he lives as somebody who has chosen an Off Grid lifestyle and lives in an old train carriage. Join us as we discover how and why he lives this way, and the decisions to choose a simpler, more self sustaining way of life. Living is a train carriage could be considered as very unique, but to Reuben, it's normal. He managed to convert what was wasteland into an amazing space he now calls home, and explains the in's and out's of the off grid systems he has in place, enabling him to live mortgage free, bills free, and with minimal outgoings. Join us for a full tour of his old converted train carriage, as well as the impressive Unidome Space that was originally an old sewage treatment facility. We explore how this path in life could be of interest to some, and hope that Reubens story can inspire others!

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 😍😍

[TESTA-CC]

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.

I would say every person who watches this wishes they could live like this, awesome 🤩

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!

[matthewkeith]

I get a proper romany vibe off him, good old boy Norfolk too.

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.

[spectrumEDMforever]

Wow what a setup, love the self supporting roof and the water flowing in, absolute awesomeness, what an imagination 😍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[CristineOsborne-xy]

What an interesting guy saw him on George Clark's amazing spaces years ago lovely to see he's enjoying life

[mekomckracken]

It's interesting that society tends to judge people who collect items, barter for goods or simply find things in their daily journey. I've found it feels like I am not able to "keep up" with the norms of society...but in all honesty, much more of personality shines through. The daily grind isn't for everyone. Just as a nomadic life isn't for everyone. To each their own. ***I find right angles, white walls and a 9 to 5 soul crushing, but it has taken me most of my life to actualize into a person strong enough to accept being different.

Beautiful home.

[jackielambert]

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!

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.

*Looove the setup you have there! I wish I had a off-grid converted train carriage home as well! 👍👍*

[allegrosotto]

Yep, ticks all the boxes for me👍 and I also have a history of living in not houses. Thanks for the tour👍

[mraidymaddful]
