Say what you like, these guys are not hurting anyone or anything. In particular they're not stuffing up the world like the rest of us. Bless them. I wish them all the best
James Mara - Their*
Btw, no one has a purpose in life, everything is meaningless. You are still base level, ignorant sheep.
@James Mara I mean, working 80% of your life so you can live for 10% isnt really living either.
They also don't contribute to a better modern world in any way. Something that will be undeniably present, a modern world.
@James Mara you have been brainwashed to live and go into work well not everything is like you they have a purpose in life doing nothing that's is there purpose
@James Mara your pathetic
Little do most people know, but this is how the majority of people will be living in the near future. Though more will choose to go into the country and wild areas and get away from the toxic cities.
Exactly
explain the semantics please.
Till it becomes over crowded because were getting overwhelmed with immigration
Maybe, or maybe toxic waste will cover the sunless landscape where 2 or 3 hundred thousand people live like animals attempting to survive in the barren waste. Or worse?
Okay I don't think so you've been watching too many UA-cam videos
It's called a commune. That's always been my biggest goal in life, to join a group like yours. Best of luck. I hope you have a happy life.
hey
A lot of people in the comments call them bums. Who do they bum from? If you have any debt by your own logic you are more a bum then someone who lives supporting themselves without debt. They choose this simple life, so quit looking down on people.
because alot of ppl are ignorant, narrow minded sheep
Jamie lee
true that.
...especially the people that do not know how to spell a lot...
...extremely surprised you didn't offer a "metal..." "their" must be hope for you yet...
+Jamie lee Just like these idiots. I saw the AFA tagg. Nothing but commies and anarchists. They should all be executed. Scum of the earth. They are just as bad as followers of islam.
Money is nice; it can buy you nice things. In the end, it corrupts. I respect and applaud these folks for having the courage to continue to live this way....something I could never learn to live with.
Well done if only the rest of humanity could live with love and forgiveness for there brothers and sister and learn to put up with each other's imperfections
I can understand the concept but what I don't understand is why is the place so dirty? Why live in filth?
lol
+Ashira Guyness I agree. It looks very unhealthy. It might be in an area where they cannot get free water and depend on the rain. God forbid if they are in drought.
this place is filthy ... I need certain comforts...guess I'm brain dead!
+Ashira Guyness You ve ever seen pictures of a drug den / crackhouse? Well, drugs and alcohol will make anyone revert to animal state. Hygiene, food, security come second to that...
+Ashira Guyness Uh....Because they have no money? I don't think you can "understand the concept" That's some icon pic btw.
I would so passionately love to live somewhere like that I cannot stand Society or the way it is become money is the root of all of my discomfort
On 27 May 2010 police evicted the ecovillage inhabitants. Most of the occupants have now joined Hounslow community land project and Parliament Square's Democracy Village
Where was this? In Britain ?
I've got a feeling some of the younger ones have families to fall back on when the shit starts to pile up !
+jason antigua I have a feeling many of them dont, thats why they are there.
You'd be surprised ! Don't let the silly hats fool you !
+jason antigua Any evidence what so ever to make you think that?
+blazednlovinit He said he has a feeling, since when do you need evidence for "feeling"?
Mister No When you've chosen to make a point about something based on only your feeling for one.
she went there to say hi to everyone & never left lololol
Boy there is some serious negativity here. I love what they are doing! Why do they need to grow more food when they are eating fine off of what is being thrown away?! I fail to see the harm! That's a good thing! What resources are they using???? No electric, no sewer, no water...what are you talking about?..just stupid. This is what happens when ppl live different. Idiots crap all over it! I love it! More power to you! I wish all of you the very best of everything!!!
Judith Chartrand
Yes. All of this. It's one thing to be self sufficient. It's another to just live somewhere and mooch off people. At least own the land you are living on. That counts for something.
Dumpster diving is part of their lifestyle. Try that for a week or two before you head out for the free and easy life. Or even try it just for a day or two. Or just once!
I dumpster dive for stuff to donate to the Humane Society thrift store, but usually people leave good stuff BY the dumpster in case someone else wants it. I've seen food that looks edible, I just can't see myself actually eating it unless I'm starving.
i dumpster dove one time behind a goodwill once and found an 1951 playboy dictionary. hit the dollar store once and found free new dishes. =)
Today I bought 17 Cell Phones that were *taken out of the dumpsters* @ 20 Cents apiece. Yes I spent $3.40. That guy has some Beer.
I can either recover the Gold and Palladium myself or sell then for $5 per pound
Generally five of them weigh about a pound. ($1 per pound at 20 cents each.)
I just box them up and when I get 200 of them, or so, then I will sell them or process them. (It is not that I can make a living from this. But those dollars add up.)
It is amazing what people throw away.
Frank Blangeard I do dumpster diving all the time, I'm not homeless, but what I find BENEFITS a lot of people. If I hear about someone needing something, and I have that, I give it to them, no charge, no explanation.
As much as I feel they're doomed to failure, when you're young like them, it's great to experiment completely with "freedom" so you know what it really means. There is a middle vision, I nope these nice folks will find it. Sometimes though "freedom" isn't just about you, it can be about freeing those around you so that they don't have to support you, provide medical care, etc. But bless them for trying.
what if they find doctors grateful to provide for them? what if they recieve from people who find thst helping them is enriching and freeing?
To each his own,,, Even if I had to live very simply I would rather work than live a lifestyle like this. If they are happy [and they seem to be ] with this then more power to them. They don't seem to be hurting anyone and they use a lot of things that would otherwise be trashed. But a lifestyle like this should only be done if a person has no children. It would be unfair to raise a child in this manner. It seems to me that they could tidy up their living space a little bit better than they have.
Patrick2345454
I just don't think that a parent should raise a child in a squatters camp like they are living in. And from what I see many of them choose to live this way. Children deserve better than that. They deserve a clean place to live,,,clean clothes and enough food to eat. I realize that there are parts of the world where that is an impossibility and they have to do everything just to simply survive. I also don't believe in welfare queens who just sit around,,,pop out kids and collect everything they can. My neighbor was a welfare queen. The longest she ever held a job was one week,,,,she had three kids so she received the maximum of everything available. She knew how to work the system. She drove a cadillac,,the kids wore $100 dollar shoes,,,she had brand new furniture and they ate steak and ribs regularly. At that time I drove a 10 year old Honda,,our clothes and shoes came from Wal-Mart,,,all my furniture was old and we ate bean tacos on a regular basis. Was I jealous? Yes I was and I was also a little resentful. I'm a single mother of two kids. I'm walking to my car every night to go to work at the hospital and she is sitting there on the couch watching T.V.
to me it just sounds like you're focusing on others a little too much. plenty of things happen that you "think" shouldnt but you do nothing about it but judge. best save the energy and focus on your own lid instead of throwing negativity into others, it's only negativity. try to be constructive in life.
youre right maam
On a small scale this works. For the whole world's population food production is done in a very efficient mechanized way. The world cannot function like this on a large scale. It's about the logistics. Here they talk about getting free food from the society they have left behind. So they really haven't left it behind. All the stuff they have scavenged are products from the modern world they are so opposed to living in.
Todd Lavigne the sollution is somthing the majority can have, permaculture, sustainability, and quality! we need not live in a tent! but many of the things they are doing is spot on, because they have freed up thier time to create more than they consume, so even if not everyone in society can live off trash, but everyone can take action now not some day off in the distant abstract futurewhich never comes! meanwhile as we all critique them they will be building on this idea and actually doing somthing, and they wont always need to dumpsterdive, but as long as the food is there to eat then these peoples project can be fueled off it.
Todd Lavigne yeah.
+Todd Lavigne thank you that was my point as well they are detracting from our civilization while theres does nothing for itself other than poop in a bucket that since they arent composting it can not work for very long.
Easier to live in jail. Just commit a crime and go to jail and free food and shelter and sex.
+peachees it not about it being easier, it about liberty & freedom. Jail may get "free" food & shelter...but at what "cost"? As for sex...women can get it free anytime...and a lot of men get raped in jail so not great idea.
+peachees i dont want that kind of sex
Karl Hans ...me neither!
+peachees Listen, just because you're a dominatrix doesn't mean everyone else wants to be.
+peachees dont have sex in prison
Nice to see others doing this have not touched a federal reserve note in over 6 years....A bit difficult at first, but doable for an intelligent, creative wo/man....
+James Barnes how the crap d u have a computer
Whatever makes them happy...that is what matters most....and they are not hurting anyone...they are living the good life...God bless you.
..imagine living with no worries or job..you could invest your time into the most important thing in life..meditation!!..excellent!!
LOL
HeathenWays
there's an old saying... point the finger at someone you've got 3 pointing back at you.
your bigot comment reminded me of that.
this is no eco village, look at all that garbage, plastic and shit, this is just a homeless people settlement.
just search "eco house" on google to see the difference
They're not creating a demand for new garbage. They're adding new value to crap already thrown out. Otherwise it would be floating down a river somewhere, or choking a seal.
***** Yup. An unsanitary pig-pen for bums. The hippy communes in the 70's were much more productive than these people will ever be
Here's what I see. A bunch of people regressing back a few hundred years. The reason we work is so that we don't spend the entire day "hunting" and "washing." Bills?!?!? What bills?!?!? I don't mind paying for water, waste water management, and electricity. Almost everything else is optional. You don't really have to own a car if you don't want to (get a bike). I just really do not see the point of this, AND this would never work if technologically more advanced/wealthier people didn't donate all that stuff to them. People living today just need to learn how not to live beyond their means. In the setting of this video, once people start complaining about fairness, the whole thing will break down. There is no way that everyone will agree that everyone is contributing equally or enough. Everyone has different ideas of what is fair and reasonable. And they shun people that are different. I thought accepting differences is a sign of progress.
We don't see things the way THEY are, we see things the way WE are.
This unavoidable conflict you speak of...it is the stub of the tail; a tail that fell off. If you see potential for conflict, YOU are the conflict. Let it go. And if you can, you will find something replaces it. Much richer than creature comforts, or surplus. It will be an abundance that has no name. Sure, there is a place here for you.... You are accepted, it's you're own lack of acceptance that will force you to leave.
pjamesbda
Could you give some examples to explain what you're saying?
> The reason we work is so that we don't spend the entire day "hunting" and "washing."
The reason we work is because the societies' rich have systematically eliminated economic liberty for the poor to create cheap and abundant labor. Our ancestors were physically coerced out of their previous situations to sever their historic ties with land and thus their economic self-sufficiency.
To imply that the current socioeconomic status quo was a choice made by the working class which they thought would be naturally to their advantage is at least stretching the truth, and likely misinformed.
*****
Oh yes. To answer your question...I believe excusing idiocy of "your caliber" is done all the time. I would call anyone who thinks "People who work hard win hard." is a raving idiot. One who obviously has no grasp of the conditions on the ground...real time.
People who constantly prattle on about "working instead of complaining" are the hapless scabs, who generation after generation undermined the labor movement and the working class in this country with their stomach turning rhetoric about fairness, competition, and "purity" of the market.
I'm confident you'll be the best dumpster diver on your block when the time comes. I'm sure you'll beat out everyone to the McDonald's garbage bags. Cause YOU are a winner!
Francis Usher I'm unclear of what you're saying. How should I act based on what you said? I'm commenting on the economics of this whole idea of living off other people's trash. It's highly inefficient.
These are people the rest of us, ultimately, have to pay for by our hard work. If you are not contributing, you are only consuming.
+D Myers ...some pay and "consume" more than their "fair-share" ...so it perhaps a way of balancing things out?
This may or may not be an eco friendly sustainable community, but a least they've learned to adapt to the miseries that, sooner or later, all of humanity will have to endure.
hopefully not.
the collapse is coming.
these people are some of the happiest ppl ever cause they dont stress out about some of the stupid shit everyone else does kinda like they did back in early 1600's i love it!! i would love to live like that.
I think people should be allowed to choose the lifestyle that makes sense to them but I can't help noticing how filthy everything looks . That would be a deal breaker for me , no offense .
Guess they will never have to worry about collecting social security. You have to work for that.
Oh no you done .its called free loading
they are not begars how someone here said, they are people with an idea and showing us all, how ill our kind of living is, our slavery by all the commercial things we have to need, suggerated by big concerns all over the world. This will definitely be not the life I will life, but it gives me more impulses to reduce more and more my things of need. When you begin, you see and feel, what things are really important in life. For me it is a bathroom with a properly composting toilet and warm rooms......so, I have to work for it, but not so much, that I will become ill......wish the people in the film the best and a good place for living
You have a lot of shit to talk behind a keyboard mate, and it is people like you in this world, why we have wars and crime... Just saying...
With folks like that, I could live there happily ever after!
I understand the impulse to go off the grid and get back to nature, but I'm sure they'd call the police if they were robbed, or an ambulance if they were hurt. People have to pay taxes for those things to be available to everybody.
It doesn't matter how much it costs, if no one pays taxes then we don't get those things.
MrOnionterror It doesnt matter how much it costs??????? You're far from free, sir.
I meant that whether the money is inefficiently spent or not, there has to be some money going into the system for anyone to get anything from it.
exactly right,oh darling the baby is due call an ambulance,and pick up our social
security benefit,and I need my tooth pulled as well.don't forget to go to the doctors and pick up My repeat prescription .LIVING OFF THE STATE NOT THE GRID.Absolute bullshit.
maxim edwards
Living in filth is NOT the same as living with the Earth
Lol
People consider the Earth filthy, hence why so many do their best to eradicate any and all germs from their lives not knowing this actually lowers the immune system and increases the chances of illness. Humanity has become scared of nature; which means humanity has become scared of ourselves because we too are nature.
This was in 2009. According to Wikipedia, the police chased them off. Since then many are living in Hounslow community land project and Parliament Square's Democracy Village.
I would class this as squatting...isn't this just like the homeless people in the world live? in my opinion a farm would of been a better choice then junction 26 of the motorway
Yeah , but you make do with what you have,, and this is what they have unless you're willing to give them a farm
Entirely blinking at least one significant detail, you're confusing yourself, . . . towards the beginning, the guy says: "When we came here, the first thing we did was, tidy up, a bit.", look around yourself, . . . and I think you'll agree on how many there be who don't do anything like this, . . . unless a constable is there to threaten them with fines, . . .
Yes your right, here in detroit the homeless set up their "Camps" and they look just like this, The only difference, the homeless i see here are Mentally Ill or handicapped, So in my opinion these people are doing worse than the homeless.
we are all squatting on native American land shhh don't tell nobody
No we took the natives land because we needed to further evolve the human race, majority of natives died from disease which initially was the law of nature not just because of whites. With this land we did amazing things...and FAST, When are horses got tired we built cars, when we wanted to fly we built a plane, when people asked if the moon was cheese we got our asses up their to find out,
Here's the Bottom Line. I live off the Grid, but at the same time for 20 yrs I worked and gave my part to the tax man and society. These are Bums. You saw the comment below; the guy commented, "unless you're willing to GIVE THEM a farm." Key word is "Give Them!" And by the way, somebody makes a different opinion and yal call them "trolls?" No, my friend, Not Trolls, just giving their opinion, something everyone has! The Bridge is Not yours, as well as the property that you're on. Everything is GIVEN to You! Thank God for good Folks that are willing to Allow you to be Bums! I bought MY PROPERTY and grow my own veges on My Property and raise animals on MY PROPERTY and live out my Life on MY PROPERTY. I've worked hard to get MY PROPERTY. All yall need to know about Squatters like these and their supporters is the following: "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!"
The land belongs to everyone. There are no Gods.
Ricky Hicks
just because they choose that way of life doesnt mean they have to live like pigs.. aside from their lack of basic building skills to create at the least, some sort of livable abode , they dont have enough respect for the land they are on to even keep it clean, neat and tidy?...Give me a break!...
***** Being PRO LEAVING OTHER PEOPLE ALONE, Only works if the shit you do on YOUR LAND STAYS ON YOUR LAND9 that would be a conservative trait ) .. You cant politicize " minding your own business.. I own 65 acres.. and If my neighbors cows venture on my land and feed on my deer plots, then I'll have Beef that year.. and I don't give a fuck what political party he votes for... as for the fundamentals of liberalism, you better do a little more reading and a little less talking.. Liberalism is all about COLLECTIVES, meaning your land should be free for ALL TO USE .. Liberals think you should share what you have with EVERYBODY....Get a clue douche bag... and go read a book..
***** If they get sick from being unclean and not practicing proper hygiene ( like pissing on a hay bail).. then as long as they don't go look for medical assistance from a community, im ok with it.. But my tax dollars shouldn't have to bail them out of an infectious disease.
***** Of course. But we could do things in different ways.
Now here you have a perfect example of Peaceful Revolution! Kudos to the community for coming together.. It will take a while for others to catch on, but this is Progress~ God Bless.
i live out in the woods kinda like this but i grow and hunt my food
and have UA-cam. Same. It's the life, isn't it!
I'm not going to rant about these people, but everything looks disgusting and it just seems like a low and nasty way to live, They are taking what other people worked hard to get so they can "Do whatever they want" this is worse than homeless
Hey whichever life you choose to live , make it a good one .
All these comments are talking down on these people like they're doing a bad job, but you have zero frame of reference. Try doing it yourself before you criticize any of the people that are actually trying to change the way this world works. Dont talk down on the people that at least took the first few steps to TRY.
I just think you may not be paying for stuff, but others have paid for your food and other stuff. So you are living off others working for their money. There is nothing wrong with working for what you have, you can get a great sense of achievement, it builds character. Makes you strong, not always a bad thing to have money. Greed is bad. Learning contentment is more important.
I've seen eco-villages, and this is a squatter settlement. They don't appear to be growing any of their own food, and they are still dependent on goods from urban centers to survive.
They settle for what they have. And what do they have?---groceries scores or businesses who throw out expired foods. Now if worse came to worse, like if those stores shut down then they'll have to settle for growing food or other alternatives. Its just like the cavemen. They too had to use or settle for what they have. If they had a bunch of bushes and trees filled with fruits, nuts, or berries, they'll take it. If they had a river filled with fish, they'll take it. Or if they had a forest filled with big fat animals, they'll take it. The cave people had to constantly change their diets and ways of getting food just to survive, but thats just how life was back then. Those methods of survival is what got us through the ice age.
Now some may say these people in the video are moochers, but still, they have to survive. Any lifestyle they choose is always gonna piss someone off. They like moochers of society whereas the cave people were like moochers of nature.
what I would do is build a log cabin and live like they do in Alaska and Yukon
Ambrose-there is this doc-vid available on YT called 'Alone in the Wilderness' of this guy who did just that, and it's a great true story-check it out.
Then there's Christopher McCandless, was out there living off-grid in an abandoned bus for a while. He'd travelled around for a couple of years, living off of the land for the most part. An incredible film called Into the Wild and there're documentaries about it.
No man is an Island.
Darling Phenylethylamine And then he starved to death
Don't do anything then for fear of the outcome. In his twenty-something years, even the couple of years he was out there on his exploration, he truly lived. This is more than can be said of most people. I know which life I'd rather lead.
It seems like a nice functioning community but does it have to look like a junkyard? They're living off the land so shouldn't they atleast show some respect to it by keeping it cleaned up? Garbage and junk just scattered throughout the video. It doesn't make that type of lifestyle appealing to anyone but slobs.
I've been really thinking of selling everything, and living off the grid. If i do decide to, it will be far in the woods and living off the land. Building a two room cabin, hunting and gather for my food and growing a garden. I think I would really at peace then for once in my life!!
Everyone can have his own way of living a life without money as I myself did along with my family in an indian village named Shiye in the state of Maharashtra and survived all odds by depending on nature, others' farms and leading a humble life!
Isn't this just a regular homeless camp?
SouthPark did a perfect episode on the concept of a "commune." "We don't need money, we just depend on other peoples' labor."
this is awesome
May I come stay with you all!!! I’m a single father in USA and I’m barely making my ends meet. I’m 40,000 in debt. And worry my son and I will eventually be homeless on the streets and from there I fear our future. I only wish I had a eco community near me to start my life money free!!! Love and light to all of you. I hope one day I make it to you all I’d love justvto meet ya
you can't buy nice cars without money, without a fucking fast awesome car there is no point in living.
I travel the world, haven't owned a car in over 20 years, cretin.
That vision is very stupid.
Dang Lobotomy I walked with my last dog more then 60000 Km.
kffive if they can forage and keep alive like that I'm pretty shore they have a brain but i know it is not the best idea
jackson Pfeil Bro, that's the best rebuttal I have had on You Tube in 8 years. Not going all personal and keeping to the facts.
I am now 71..I took to the road when I was a young man
Younger than this group..i hitched around the UK..sleeping rough as it was known..probably still is..later I joined the fairground..later still back on the road. I had to learn new skills living this way..like places to sleep..that was not in a house etc. Then I met a girl I fell for and that's where life hit back hard. The simple life is the better road too travel. Food, keeping clean and a place to lay my head were my only concerns. Freedom of the road.
damn sir
Reminds me of what hippies in the 60s were trying to in California.
I wish I was born into a situation like this. The act of making money is actually the root of all suffering because man is the only creature who uses currency for survival. So we are living a backwards life. Learn how to work the soil, plant seeds, and hunt. Only then you can truly become free.
I wouldn't describe this as off the grid. Other people are saying slum and I tend to agree. These people are homeless by choice, and live by the handouts of people who work for not only their own living, but these people's lives as well. Get a job and live in your tent. You won't have to beg for food and supplies from normals.
Living without money...smh, whatever, they're actually living indirectly off of a society that does use money is all. None of what they have would be possible without money and the modern conveniences it brings. Don't get me wrong, i love the concept, the world is full of greed and it shouldnt be, but i think most of these people are giving up and dropping out, which in a way is worse.
Lol correct
I think these people had the best intentions at heart. Alas we need to contribute to the greater community and this involves paying taxes. Health care and education are vital for our well-being.
the one I felt for was the x soldger... his haunted eyes. Theirs many broken people in the world.
The place is so filthy, they could at least keep it cleaner
I have worked all my life, I did kick back for a few years after I retired and thought I could the rest of my life, but big surprise, I could not! Thought I could sit in the bars with the rest of my buddies! But I worked odd jobs and did camp hosting and feel so much better!!!! I "think" I will work just a little the rest of my life so I can feel I deserve to breathe our air!!
When these people release themselves from the ties that money brings,( constant wanting more, work/life balance totally wrong, never satisfied, keeping up with the Joneses, etc), they probably feel a euphoria from that release. It should give them the opportunity to mentally live their lives and actually BE themselves. As others have said it isn’t a perfect existence but if enough people did it it certainly could be. People lived that way for millions of years, only recently have we lived as we do now. Maybe after covid more people will choose to go back to this way of life?
title should be " how to live nasty dirty and trashy"
My goal is to live without a 9-5 job. I'll have a garden, forage for weeds (many are actually edible!), and barter with neighbors. If I need to, I can freelance my writing, design, animation, and yoga skills. I could petsit and babysit. Living without a job means you have to engage in the community. Many who have jobs end up sacrificing friendships and community. As someone who grew up in abusive homes and has PTSD, a big part of my healing is building a community and I couldn't do that with a "safe" job. It would cause me to seclude myself.
They should be growing their own food and try to contain a self sustaining system. This is more living like a homeless person taking food being thrown away, so they are not learning anything useful. Because if shit hits the fan and a great depression happens then this people will not have food to eat since everyone will be fighting for scraps.
As a child of the sixties, I see not much has changed. Sex, drugs rock and roll.
MN_introverted_ty. Answer this: what entity is forcing inflation up? This is To answer your cost of living statement. Sorry, I don't use alcohol or drugs but certainly did. As for homelessness, this is truly sad. But, both of those products are big contributors to homelessness. Plus mental illness. Is the US handling homelessness correctly, hell no. Squared away now?
Sounds awful. Glad I was born in the 90s. Can't stand degeneracy.
amen. your living a life many could'nt understand the point of. I understand, and you guys are amazing peope
I'll take the rat race, thank you.
Waot, I watched this 9 years ago and I remembered almost nothing about it and all it left was the idea 😮
Looks absolutely miserable! lol
1. Clean the place so it's nice to live.
2. Start growing some vegetables.
3. Get a better restroom
HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT MONEY? SIMPLE.,LIVE OFF THE BACKS OF OTHERS.
Why the caps?
Are they living off the backs of other? Maybe.
Though I feel if everyone in the world was like maxim edwards, it would be somewhat dull.
On the other hand, money is not numbers in a bank account or paper and plastic in your wallet. Money is an idea. All it means is a medium of exchange. You can give everything away if you want. Eventually you are going to want something in return. Your state or situation has nothing to do with your job or your paycheck. It has more to do with your state of mind and if you are paying attention as to How you use your money, it will reveal more to you about yourself. To fear it and run from it will not fix the problems in your character as a person to fix the situation you are in. But it doesn't mean you HAVE to use money in order to find your personal flaws either. All money is however, is a medium of exchange. It can be ANYTHING.
These people don't impress me, there just homeless people living off society's junk. If you want to live free and on your own grab a axe and a shovel and go in the middle of the wilderness and start from scratch like people use to do in the 1700's or when ever..Then I'll be impressed.
My Damn Channel yeah thats the way to do it
+My Damn Channel This is England in the 21st century. There are no more wilderness. Every inches of this country is owned by someone. "Private property".
+My Damn Channel You're spot on! They going yap yap yap about how bad's the system and stuff,but i guess happy to go and get a pack of ciggies,few beers once they got their monthly pay check benefit lol"And she's buying the stairway to heaven" lolI blame it on Led Zep and all that flower power bullshit,but still a great band!!!Hi from France :)

We don't live in a system any longer where only the strong survive. Now the strong have to survive while working twice, sometimes three times as hard to support the weak who in the past would not be here. The population of the world didn't explode until the industrial revolution.
Now all those diseases and mental defects that evolution would have weeded out are allowed to remain and carry the torch.
After a while it all falls apart like it is now and we're back to square one again.
I highly recommend watching videos on youtube called "Primitive Technology", it chronicles how people lived off of the land and the first thing you will notice is the natural life skills that the age of industrialization took away from us "deliberately"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How to live like a rat.

How to act like a twat
"An eco village is often composed of people who have chosen an alternative to centralised electrical, water and sewage systems". Then, about 10 seconds later they show you a sign that says free DVDs and CD's... I thought they were using alternatives? So... Why are they using DVD's? Omfg this video just keeps getting better and better
Homeless village
Gosh this makes me sick! That people want actually to live like this when they have a choice? There's a difference between living in nature and choosing to live in a slum under a freeway bridge.
This should be called How To Be A Smelly Hippie.
how did they get the land to live on i want to do this but where do you do it????
Any chance of an up-date?Thanks.
I love the concept. You should not have to work 8 hours a day and ripping your ass off to make other people millionares. You should rather choose your way to live.
EVEN tho i don't agree how they're living by the road like that, they should invest time into getting a farm or something
I wish they would make sustainable housing. It would be lovely to see a whole row of pretty cottages.
I want to be more like this got my own water system hopefully getting a bit more self supporting !!
I stopped by her when I was visiting this part of the world. It was very interesting and it also had a very very bad odor. I'm sure it will smell better in the winter. LOL
This doesn't exist anymore because they built a housing development on the land so they must have been evicted. It isn't really realistic to do this as a long term option, it was too close to the urban areas of london.
I live in a comfortable, double storey house, one year younger than lil pump and the last month of schooling.
Money aint everything but it helps. I live in Malaysia btw.
I plan to run from the house leaving a note "I will return, mum" and go homeless bcoz i dont really get along w her
I know I can sleep and drink water from the streets but I will have no money to buy food.
Immediately go to work after schooling life is over you will get salary at the end of the month.
So what can I do in between and how to find food? I will be grateful for some tips😊
as long as you guys get your food out of supermarket skips you´re not off the grid. If right now everybody decided to live like you, you´ll have to fight for food until you´re able to cultivate your own. And you have to be able to defend it against other starving people.
you will eventually have to wake up to how the world really works.
This a very sacred act and just what nowadays heartless & numb humans need !
I don't see any drug addicts living there. That's the difference between the two types of squatters. I applaud them. They just want to be free. I'd like to live that way.
Such a shame they were evicted!!
squating is squating, if a bunch of bums who lived like pigs set up on your land would you let them stay?
+Xavier H. ...These people are very peaceful and happy people.
I find your comment about "a bunch of bums, living like pigs" more offensive than anything THEY have said or done! You seem fiercely judgemental. ♥Living that way yourself might help you shake off some of that negativity.♥ You don't personally know these people. One man spent 18 years working for the government. And I'm sure he's not the only respectable one there. They are human beings, just like you are.
Seems to me that living on government land, "which is rightfully THE PEOPLES LAND" is appropriate and a good idea. This should be done more often. Especially in case's where a person just simply can't work (for whatever reason). These people aren't asking for a welfare cheque every month. They are grateful to be together and cause no disturbances.
Try a little kindness. Take care.
Lily McMillan unfortunatly thats not how things work, maybe you could get away with itt in a more socialist country like canada, but unfortunately in capitalist countries you have to work to get anything, land, food, even clean water. that is unless you beg, which isnt really a lifestyle, living a "free life" just isnt possible anymore, its kind of sad, but its very true.
It's not unfortunate. It's just plain wrong!
I feel that maybe its better to go deeper into nature like a near a river or a big lake, and start building actual log cabins. These tents are not too reliable to live in.
Learning to live without money and living in makeshift shelters is called being homeless. That's an alternative lifestyle that I really don't wish to experience and it saddens me that so many people today do........through no fault of their own.
Alternative lifestyles are the future.
I'm sure there is a huge difference between living without money and eating out of the bins of some of the biggest money making companies in the world... strong enough to say they don't need money but too weak to make the effort to live of the land. This screams gap year students who failed
Where are all these people today 13 years on ! 😮
The irony of a mortgage advert supporting the playing of this video has fried my brain. Thanks UA-cam.
They were evicted after about a year , according to Wikipedia . From 2009 to 2010 . Wonder where they are, or how they are doing now . Wish them the best . I wonder if this life would be possible if you owned the land. I think the government would find a way to disband it somehow .
thank u Clarissa I saw the full TV show alone in the wilderness the story of Dick proeneke thanks
this people deserve to live better, they are forced to live like that, we cant assume this as a normality or as a admirable alternative... it's so admirable to quit burguoise ideals but they have to show the real reasons and the real frustration instead of that contempt they are showing... even if they dont want to pay the capitalist price they deserve to live better, like everybody deserves... at least they are united and they might evolve from that... i wish people would unite to create comunities with so much dignity and quality of living but outside capitalism....
I think a return to the tribal way of life is the future (although it's not possible for everyone).
We used to have a community here in Dallas like this. They called it "tent city" but we have homeless shelters here now!
