Fair play to him plus he's using his time to add to culture and grow food etc doesn't seem to be hurting anyone. we are not all hardwired to sit in mortaged flats and offices all our lives either, just the current state of affairs and social expectations which he's trying to test. lots of comments based on assumptions, i know a lot of actual scumbags parasites who 'play by the rules' as well. Good on him - i think a lot of ppl on here cud use a few days off..
he is the good kind, i might become a nomad too, why should my council tax rates get higher and higher yet services are degrading for council services ?
I really really admire this guy. He's a hard worker and he's living the way HE WANTS TI. So what if he went to university - a lot of people do. He was young and probably pushed into it by society hence his lifestyle now. His work is also pretty awesome! I watched this documentary about a guy who decided to leave wealth a fantastic job, oil rig land and a large home to live completely of the grid, in the middle of nowhere accessible by helicopter only. He raised his two children there and taught them to hunt and fish. He decided that was his way of helpin the planet a little.. in his own way. He knew two sides of the society spectrum, well educated and wealthy to a simple life away from everyone and everything. Both of his kids are now in college. It's personal choice - and he done what he thought was best for him and his family at the time, he still lives off the grid with his wife. But I admire his kids and him also!
Terrible man. He should be forced to get a tedious labouring job, pay all his income in rent to a landlord, get a second job on weekends in order to afford food, numb his mind with alcohol and in any free time he may have sit watching TV until his head is adjusted correctly. How the hell are we going to all become the same if people like him rebel?
Nice to see someone doing things their own way. I had a friend (passed away now) who lived a very similar life, money was tight sometimes, but he was happy.
Yeah it’s a good feeling when you’re off the grid,I did the same with a double garage but I had WiFi and power plus heating but was good all the same,tv on wall with sofas and coffee table with pictures on the wall lol I loved it but the girl I met didn’t hahaaaaa
I’m in sheff atm and I proper hate this concrete jungle it really gets me down, other than the music scene I don’t rate it that much. I would love to be apart of something like this.
I think the logical wat forward is to live outdoors, create your own electricity, grow your own food and make your own clothes and shoes. People often wonder why we lived in caravans and buses but realistically that's how hunter gatherers lived for thousands of years.
There are currently no countries operating under actual capitalism. True capitalism is not the problem, perverted capitalism is the problem. Governments cosying up to large corporations in order to prolong their downfall. The main stream media is an example...better known as the lame stream media or legacy media. Free markets with some regulation are the only way. This man is after all surviving off the scraps of a "capitalist society" by the looks of things. I respect him and what he's doing, part of me is envious. People need to educate themselves and stop bashing capitalism...
This guy is stupid. He said "Society is an incredibly unnatural way to live" but it is the natural evolution process we humans have gone through (shown by our history). Developed culture and society was inevitable for our species due to our sapience; Therefor completely natural.
Not part of society? Please! He has a diesel generator, lives in a caravan, car parked outside, has a bike, computer, internet, hosts art exhibitions. If you weren't part of society we wouldn't know about you.
Misleading title, real English travellers don't live like this, they have pride in their appearance, and in where they live. They are also the most steadfast proponents of free market capitalism and true conservatism going.
He's a visual artist who doesn't like the art of film? And doesn't like it when people ask him about TV shows. He only appreciates his own artform. Kinda ignorant
Love this, not a real gypsy, lol, but seriously wish I could live like this, but we can’t, if everyone did like benefits then the country / world would collapse
Many settled people have travellers who were forced into housing in their ancestry...it's in the blood. I've met people who were taken into care as children..one bloke was 5 when he was removed from his fairground family..he met them as a grown up but he couldn't relate to them . There are many permutations
The title "why i live like a traveller" when applied to any other group would be classed as offensive, especially when the vast majority of travelling people don't live like this. Can't wait for "why i live like an african" and "why i live like an oriental" follow ups.....🙄
@Joker of course its in the blood. This is just the same as the new age traveller numpties that ruined a load of sites years ago. He's living like a hippy nothing like a traveller.
@Joker it's not the only difference, which you yourself should know. The offensive part is more the fact they're equating just having a trailer while living in an absolute cowp as living like a traveller.
@Joker there's no different marriage laws chavy, the Romanichal might say they have laws but they're not actual laws. Other traveller groups just get married like everyone else. The vast majority of travellers don't alienate at all, live quite happily alongside country folk, go to school, college, uni without there being any issue, more and more are marrying outside the community as well. It's just the fringes that aren't, sadly they're the ones you tend to see on tv giving everyone else a bad name.
@Joker yeah that's the ones i'm meaning about giving all traveller groups bad names. Absolute worst c*nts. Robbing old folk out their savings and the like, just scumbags. Vast majority of travellers live nothing like that. Tends to just be the fringes of east coast travellers in scotland and irish travellers that act like that, then ironically we all get tarred with the same brush.
Fair enough but he shouldn't really be aloud national healthcare if he's not willing to pay tax and contribute to the community. We all need a bit of healthcare every now and again so his way of life doesn't work unless we pay for him.
He is not representative of our community. He's just avoiding rent. Most of us work and pay taxes through that, because we're too proud not too On the site I'm living on there are 16 adults and 12 are in work. Of the four that aren't, two are disabled, one is retired and the last is a freeloader.
@@Lookatmeshine that's not true either. Although there are surgeries that are bigoted towards travellers they are actually legally obliged to accept us. Though it is much harder for Gypsys because they have to deal with racism on top of it all. But generally we can access healthcare pretty much the same as everyone else.
Fair play to him plus he's using his time to add to culture and grow food etc doesn't seem to be hurting anyone. we are not all hardwired to sit in mortaged flats and offices all our lives either, just the current state of affairs and social expectations which he's trying to test. lots of comments based on assumptions, i know a lot of actual scumbags parasites who 'play by the rules' as well.

he is the good kind, i might become a nomad too, why should my council tax rates get higher and higher yet services are degrading for council services ?
I spent 7 years being homeless because of my drug addiction always sleeping under bridges in bushes etc Now i have finally got a job and home
Fair play to him not bothering any one
Agreed
Top guy good luck to him 👍
Very good point.

His paintings looked amazing.

Full respect too you bro... never give up on what you believe and how you truly want too live
Nice to see someone doing things their own way. I had a friend (passed away now) who lived a very similar life, money was tight sometimes, but he was happy.
After my death.. My friends also talk about him likw thiss😊
Good man and respect to you ...all the best .
Fairplay to the guy. Livin how he wants. Get some solar power tho eh...
If you ain't out in a tank top challenging other travelers to a fight , you aren't living like one
Respect for this fella - I'd like to visit him when I return to the UK. Not sure how I'd ever contact him though
do you watch love island??
“WHAT’S A LOVE ISLAND”
Lol
That comment is comedy gold my friend made me chuckle
Trust me you don't want to know
I used to live on this site and he is completely correct we r just trynna live freely
how do people get spots in those sites?
@asweeney101 by asking talking to them I guess. We have a big one at haldon Hill in devon been there for years. They don't cause any issues
your living a life that most of us long for all the best mate and fair play to u
Nothing is stopping you fella. Move to the US, Canada or Australia and live off the grid like this. Much easier than the UK.
Fair enough mate
This, a million times over. 🖤✊🏴
just keep being you. you're doing great.
He's living his life to please himself nobody else and that's how it should be...
2:39 that’s Reason. Why didn’t you include that he writes his own music
Trilo' ANUBIS SOUNDS ayyyyy 😏 ima Ableton guy though 👎🏻

Yep, totally rejects Modern Society ( apart from music production software, laptops, his car and benefit payments, bacon,etc,etc)

"stop telling me what to do"... Alan partridge says that in his TV series....

I don't think buses and caravans had been invented when our ancestors were hunter gatherers.. 😉
Big up Sheffield
I was actually surprised that his paintings are pretty good.

Yeah it's fucked up it's the system we have now is fucked up it's socialism for the rich and harsh darwinian capatilism for the poor
This guy is like a Yorkshire Saxondale 😂
Misread title as Why I like a traveller
He's right ✌️
“Society is and incredibly un natural way to live”....so is living on the side of the road in a caravan frying bacon on an oil drum
Totally agree, and just because is unnatural doesn’t mean it’s bad. There’s a reason we’re living longer now than we ever have.
This guy is stupid. He said "Society is an incredibly unnatural way to live" but it is the natural evolution process we humans have gone through (shown by our history). Developed culture and society was inevitable for our species due to our sapience; Therefor completely natural.
chicken stripper what exactly are you defending? How does his decision affect you in any way?
Off the grid but he has the internet.
“I can keep as many bicycles as I want”
You mean you can steal as many bicycles as you want 😂😂
Rejects Modern Life - apart from his computer, car, benefits payments, etc,etc
Wait to u r almost 60 yrs old. ....when we did it in the 80s
I can smell him from here
@Henry Tudor wow your a sad guy how did that hurt your feelings so bad
It's because your nose is too near your own arse
Not part of society? Please! He has a diesel generator, lives in a caravan, car parked outside, has a bike, computer, internet, hosts art exhibitions. If you weren't part of society we wouldn't know about you.
Drugs Bunny don't forget the BBC crew he welcomed to film him and the fact it's on TH-cam. Yeah he's totally off the grid mannnnn
+I'm right You're wrong 😂😂😂😂😂
Eh Snorv, good to see another Reason user. I'd know that interface on your laptop screen anywhere.
When is the rest of the world just going to realise that Reason is the best.

Just me from Barnsley
Goes to uni in Barnsley sums it up
I can go for a walk in the trees, I can grow veg but I bet ya can't get a bird back there
Trust me there's people that would.
I expect he'd want a proper woman rather than a dollybird...
He's an exhibiting artist and making good money.
is that windows xp running on his computer
Classic BBC viewer responses in the comments. Who woul've thought, eh?
tv is one of the best things about life!
He's a visual artist who doesn't like the art of film? And doesn't like it when people ask him about TV shows. He only appreciates his own artform. Kinda ignorant
I find the title incredibly offensive

This man doesn't know what a
Traveller is there cleaner than him
I have a slight suspicion hes not only growing vegetables and tomatoes.
I used to be a traveller like you.
Then I took an arrow to the knee
Damn wth
would be nice to hear from an actual Traveller
I'm an actual traveller... I live near Jim here.. Big up the N A T. 😜✌🏽
Regrets the night he got drunk and done a bad paint job on the house
I share his views. Its just hard , you need to conform to earn money. He looks like he needs a wash aswell
Love this, not a real gypsy, lol, but seriously wish I could live like this, but we can’t, if everyone did like benefits then the country / world would collapse
Oh the horror 🙄
That's a misrepresentation. Most of us work and most of us always have.
you have much more than a caged animal!!!
Guess what dude, the rest of us don't want to work the old 9 to 5 all week either, but we have SUPPORT ourselves!
Yeah and he is SUPPORTING himself the way he wants to
AvalonDreaming AvalonDreaming your a tool bro
he is supporting himself, think that was the whole point of the video,
Got nothing to do with wanting to work if you have a family to support.
He obviously hasnt seen the Wire...
>“We’re forced to live like caged animals”
>Chooses to live independently
not legally.lots of redtape//
so it’s not okay for travellers to live like a traveller but it’s okay for a gorger/ settled person to live like one?
Many settled people have travellers who were forced into housing in their ancestry...it's in the blood. I've met people who were taken into care as children..one bloke was 5 when he was removed from his fairground family..he met them as a grown up but he couldn't relate to them . There are many permutations
I've met a number of travellers who were adopted into house families.. some only found out late in life

Travelling men have more pride than to live in a dump like that
Looks like more of a hippy than a traveller
