RIP Bruce 2019
Fairytale lifestyle or self inflicted poverty; Does life in a wagon live up to the dream?
Bruce is not quite your average senior citizen, at the age of 65 he retired from a life-long career down the Yorkshire coal mines but instead of settling down in a retirement home he dreamt of a life on the open roads: one of freedom, romanticism and beauty but also of hardship and poverty.
Life on the Verge will take us on a journey through an account of Bruce's experiences learning to live without a permanent home.
Short 3 minute documentary

Sadly no. He passed away 16.04.21 due to accident with his horse & cart. I was with him, it wasn’t our fault.

I'm living a similar lifestyle, with three dogs, six goats and a bull calf that I am training to become my 'horse'. Like Manny, I just wish that I'd done it sooner.

'The System' doesn't like it though, and does everything it can to make your life as difficult as possible. They want you in bricks and mortar, paying bills, buying crap you neither need nor want and slaving away at a job you hate your entire adult life.

@clawhammer704 3 года назад

The system wants you paying taxes, fines, fees, services. This does not work for the system. How are they going to keep tabs on your hide.

@Dusty357 3 года назад

@@clawhammer704 that’s exactly it you hit the nail on the head they are petrified that more folks would lead this life just look at how they hammered all the New Age travellers and gypsy and Irish travelers throughout the 90’s . Thing is we ain’t designed to live in a concrete box . Good luck to anyone still doing this free and happy

@Vantarmy 2 года назад

Seeing all these "youngsters" & "hippies" doing this, showing off like "look at me" like this is very common and normal for gypsies and older folk enjoying life when in pension. This is genuine!

@timothypoulter8285 4 года назад

I admire anyone who can handle living like this. I had a good acquaintance who lived off-grid in some woodlands he'd managed to buy. Far from being idyllic it certainly was, and this guy spent his entire day trying to survive, gathering wood for his caravan's stove and forever having to go out for water etc. It looks good but rather than free you encased you in another type of cage.

@goldassayer93555 4 года назад

Cities, counties an states do not like this lifestyle as they pay no taxes to support all the services like police and streetlights. if the mobile home, car camping etc lifestyle show up in an area you will see the city/county pass laws against it. We have a lot of people living on the streets now in the USA and the laws are being passed against them.

@moorshound3243 3 года назад

Your born into this world but you are not allowed to put your head in the dirt & sleep like a deer does? Makes no sense to me. Just one fighter jet in the sky cost the UK tax payer £90,000 per hour, & they say they cannot feed the poor. Ha yea right.
