I live like this. I have a caravan in somebody's huge farm garden. It's under a long roof with two other caravans (stored only) and a jeep. The end section is for preparing the firewood for winter. I have an under roof section outside my caravan as a sitting room/ kitchen. There was a major flood last year and a nearby camping site ditched their wooden 'kitchen' units for new ones.

As much as I like the idea of rural Welsh living in a basic hut, and I considered living in a boat on a river estuary after I divorced, what this shows is that society is failing the majority of people, even if they don't realize it, many young people simply can't afford to survive in their own communities, and the wealthy are exploiting the poor more than they ever have. I've never understood the attraction of London, my brother lived on it's fringes for over 20 years, told me how wonderful it was being able to see shows, get anything you might want etc. However when I asked him how many West end shows he'd been to, he told me in 20 years he'd been to 2, he couldn't afford the ticket price when his mortgage was so high. I lived near Newcastle for 20 years, owned a bigger house 1.5 miles from the coast with a smaller mortgage, earnt less than him, and went to the theatre, shows, etc. 3 or 4 times a year.

'We bought the land' - that's the key, you've got to buy land or rent land to do this. And then maybe the local council get involved and call it a campsite.
I think if you somehow squat it for five years and don't annoy anyone you MIGHT get away with it and end up with some sort of right to purchase, but it's risky.

@@pmf598 Yes. Round here there are many signs up 'Woodland for Sale'. It all sounds very lovely! But (and it's a big 'but') even if you buy woodland there are strict regulations about what you can do in it. And that's not much!
London is no longer a part of the UK economy. It's an economic zone in its own right. The world's wealthy move in and live their lives there, hence why the rents are so high while the average British wage is barely £30k.
And it has suffered for it. It is now the most boring city on earth. Yes it still has great galleries, theatres etc… but it is sterile. All the great clubs and nightlife have gone along with the characters that filled them.
There's masses of empty properties in London too. Walk along the Thames at night and you'll see the vast majority of million pound riverside flats are in darkness.

They would have to if that happened. Nothing to do with political affiliation. More use of the canals and waterways would mean more upkeep and more traffic. Theyd have to contol the number too somehow. Otherwise no boats could move. It can take half an hour for one boat to cross a gate also.
If I wasn't a Council Tenant I couldn't afford to rent in London, and would be living aboard a boat and in a self converted van.

This is a brilliant alternative. When I once worked seasonal but permanent in the UK as an HGV-driver, I came over by car and caravan, having an all time returning spot for it on an Essex farm, which was very practically. Of course I had to pay my weekly rent, but comparing to those in Central London and surrounding as for flats and houses it was nicen overseeneable and a nice form of living as well for between 4 and 6 weeks. All in together it was a wonderful time, which I think back of more often and delightful.
They own their boat or tent or tiny home. Land is paid but presumably taxed every year. The canal, no, so something gets dreamed up. Folks cannot stand someone else living free.
Life in the countryside ❤ I would love to try that out for sure. My dream is to be out of the city council flat and live within nature and learn to be self sufficient. Thank you for sharing xx
What about food, where do they get it from, they have no transport to reach the shops. A big eater like myself would suffer out there. I would need a patch of land on the allotment the size of a football field to grow the food.
Delivered bud, I was a bodybuilder meaning I eat 5 times a day, I live like this... just get grub delivered from Tesco, Dunnes or similar, just do a bulk shop twice a week
There is a massive issue with air.b and b houses, 4 houses big enough for up to 6 children families in my street are now temporary holiday home, it should be illegal
Great ideea greetings from united States of America i have a home hut taxes this year went up again help me god its hard and 12 oets i oove but one just oassed away im sad this Christmas 🎄⛄🎄🎄 cant enjoy it ...yes huge more freedom ww need it
The first place I would easily live there, in nature. I tried todo do it, bought 3/4 of an acre of land with an old house. It's quite pleasant, but there is still rural activity all around me. Too many tractors, machines and destruction of nature.
The British imposed a hut tax on the Sierra Leonean people during colonial days leading to a war when the natives revolted against the tax. All is now history, but at least I now know how the taxation idea originated.
Why would it be "illegal" not to be connected? Lots of people in remote locations have a bore hole rather than piped water. Lots of people have solar panels. Why should it be mandatory to be connected to services you don't require??
@@bakedbean37 Because there are laws around sanitation and against permanent campsites. In order to be allowed to do what they've done, they have to have toilets with proper plumbing. Being off grid that means there must be septic tanks. They aren't free.
@@MonstaMunch101 "they have to have toilets with proper plumbing. " You've never heard of composting toilets? Septic tanks may not be free but who said they can't afford one? Just has to be emptied once a year. Same as the solar panels. Some up front cost but you save in the long run. "there are laws around sanitation and against permanent campsites." Which law or laws specifically can you identify being breached here. Is this place a designated "permanent campsite"? Gut instincts don't count.
@@bakedbean37 No, you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. You asked what is *legally* stopping them and the answer is that you can't legally live on a property that only has composting toilets. I'm not saying it's a law I agree with, but it's the legal answer to your question. For a property to be legally considered a permanent dwelling, it has to have a proper sewage system. It doesn't have to be in every building on the property however, which is likely how these people handle that law.
@@MonstaMunch101 "In 2010, the Building Regulations for England were changed to permit composting toilets as part of a drive to reduce domestic water consumption. There may be planning and building regulations to navigate, but they are legal." Septic tanks are legal too. Rules apply but they are legal. Just as with the composting toilets. They are legal because they are (if up to code) "proper" sewage systems.

I looked into buying a boat to live on but found the new fees for boat owners has just ruined it . Anything that's a bargain or worth doing is ruined by greedy government who just keep taking till there's nothing left ....
It’s not a shortage of housing in this country. Right-move is filled with houses for sale but prices are plucked out of a hat by greedy agents and sellers and so long as people with a lot of money keep paying those ridiculous asking prices, the problem wont go away.
Imagine a nations workforce & well being If all companies employers & governments had to help each employee own their home without any depth and worry of losing it You'd have an unstoppable workforce A satisfied & happy individual & society And in return families and couples will become stronger & happier in themselves This is how nations will heal and prosper Fair is fair society i call it

Where exactly is this place ?
Same, and the idea has always appealed.
Life in the countryside ❤ I would love to try that out for sure. My dream is to be out of the city council flat and live within nature and learn to be self sufficient. Thank you for sharing xx
This is nice.
Unfortunately in the US, the cost of living at an intentional community is also very expensive...
So lovely..the way one should live. I like the tent life style.
glad to hear you can live like that there.
Having a boat house seems cool as well.
What about food, where do they get it from, they have no transport to reach the shops. A big eater like myself would suffer out there. I would need a patch of land on the allotment the size of a football field to grow the food.
Delivered bud, I was a bodybuilder meaning I eat 5 times a day, I live like this... just get grub delivered from Tesco, Dunnes or similar, just do a bulk shop twice a week
Grocery stores deliver here
Plenty of food there.
Don’t be so greedy then.
Its really the answer to the question, why the birth rates among native Brits have declined to extinction levels.
The greatest luxury is Freedom and time and people are starved of it
Enjoyed this video. Thank you. We see there are alternatives to living in sticks and stones.
no you not note on website when moving they use spotters and you have to provide proof of paid for moorings if you have it

Two things you can get rid of without moving your feet, wants and greed,when you do ,you're needs are cherished,
There is a massive issue with air.b and b houses, 4 houses big enough for up to 6 children families in my street are now temporary holiday home, it should be illegal
Great ideea greetings from united States of America i have a home hut taxes this year went up again help me god its hard and 12 oets i oove but one just oassed away im sad this Christmas 🎄⛄🎄🎄 cant enjoy it ...yes huge more freedom ww need it
I love the concept of this. I just hope the government didn't cotton on so they start charging people for the "privilège " of building a community
A good way to live
Government won't let people live in woods. They will say it's illegal,
The first place I would easily live there, in nature. I tried todo do it, bought 3/4 of an acre of land with an old house. It's quite pleasant, but there is still rural activity all around me. Too many tractors, machines and destruction of nature.
The British imposed a hut tax on the Sierra Leonean people during colonial days leading to a war when the natives revolted against the tax. All is now history, but at least I now know how the taxation idea originated.
Look up Magna Carta for your enlightenment...its a tax charter...
This is the way thanks for a wonderfil inspiring video.

I cant believe that Tipi Valley is legally permitted to not be connected to town water and electricity!! How is that possible?
Why would it be "illegal" not to be connected?
Lots of people in remote locations have a bore hole rather than piped water.
Lots of people have solar panels.
Why should it be mandatory to be connected to services you don't require??
@@bakedbean37 Because there are laws around sanitation and against permanent campsites. In order to be allowed to do what they've done, they have to have toilets with proper plumbing. Being off grid that means there must be septic tanks. They aren't free.
@@MonstaMunch101 "they have to have toilets with proper plumbing. "
You've never heard of composting toilets?
Septic tanks may not be free but who said they can't afford one? Just has to be emptied once a year.
Same as the solar panels. Some up front cost but you save in the long run.
"there are laws around sanitation and against permanent campsites."
Which law or laws specifically can you identify being breached here.
Is this place a designated "permanent campsite"?
Gut instincts don't count.
@@bakedbean37 No, you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. You asked what is *legally* stopping them and the answer is that you can't legally live on a property that only has composting toilets. I'm not saying it's a law I agree with, but it's the legal answer to your question. For a property to be legally considered a permanent dwelling, it has to have a proper sewage system. It doesn't have to be in every building on the property however, which is likely how these people handle that law.
@@MonstaMunch101 "In 2010, the Building Regulations for England were changed to permit composting toilets as part of a drive to reduce domestic water consumption. There may be planning and building regulations to navigate, but they are legal."
Septic tanks are legal too. Rules apply but they are legal. Just as with the composting toilets.
They are legal because they are (if up to code) "proper" sewage systems.
Sign off the times eh im a seventy three year old guy and av invested in a summer house in my daughters garden im living in ther now not that its what ar want at my age but rents cost of living energy bills we need a litle bit off quality off life wen we retire not just lay down and die like ther wud like us to

You most certainly DON'T need to notify anyone when you move your boat around. 😂😂😂
I love it ✌️☘️
Some very good future thoughts❤
How I wish we lived there!
Brill doc👏🤝✌️🕊
They quote way too low on the rents and house prices. Average rent now is £2100-2600. Average house prices are £700,000.
I looked into buying a boat to live on but found the new fees for boat owners has just ruined it . Anything that's a bargain or worth doing is ruined by greedy government who just keep taking till there's nothing left ....
Yeah 12k a year is extortionate
It’s not a shortage of housing in this country. Right-move is filled with houses for sale but prices are plucked out of a hat by greedy agents and sellers and so long as people with a lot of money keep paying those ridiculous asking prices, the problem wont go away.
Land Tax is the New Surf rent , IMHO .
How beautiful ❤
Imagine a nations workforce & well being
If all companies employers & governments
had to help each employee own their home
without any depth and worry of losing it
You'd have an unstoppable workforce
A satisfied & happy individual & society
And in return families and couples will
become stronger & happier in themselves
This is how nations will heal and prosper
Fair is fair society i call it
Has anyone studied the impact of high immigration on wages and housing prices and availability?
Don't be daft - that would go against the narrative we are all force fed..................diversity is a strength you know ( a term made up by the happy-clappy looooonie left ).
It's obvious it makes rich people richer by increasing demand for houses and putting the value of their property up.
