This Guy Lives In A Plane In The Woods

This Guy Lives In A Plane In The Woods

Sick.

Nowadays it's all the rage to live in a quirky flat or apartment.

Filled with unusual items and having bare brick walls that aren't decorated are popular, but none of that comes close to how quirky this guys living quarters is.

Bruce Campbell resides in a Boeing 727 in the woods, and while it is every hipster's dream, it's pretty cool.

The plane sits atop of concrete blocks near Portland, Oregon, and retains a lot of its original features, while being fitted with a few extras that make it a bit more homely.

For example Bruce has fitted a shower, as well as somewhere to sit and sleep, watch TV, cook and chill out. He's still trying to sort out a working toilet, though.

"If a conventional home is a legacy age family Chevy or Ford, an airliner home is a fresh new Tesla or Porsche Carrera," Bruce said.

He originally bought the aircraft for $220,000, as well as the ten acres it sits on for $23,000, in his 20s. He purchased it to save retired planes from being turned into scrap metal.

The aeronautics enthusiast spends six months of the year living in the jet, while the other six are spent in Japan where he's looking to do a similar thing with another plane.

It's not too dissimilar to what this chap, Bryce, did. In his Belle tent in the woods there is a big open space, where a double bed lies. Around the tent there is a dining table set for two, as well as a kitchen area with a sink and cooking utensils.

Further round the home is a relaxation area where there are books and a bean bag, and of course the ever-important kettle in order to brew up.

"Inside my tent I have everything that I need, and nothing that I don't. I have power which comes from a very simple 150watt solar system, running hot and cold water, refrigeration with a Waeco Coolfreeze 25 litre fridge," Bryce writes on Living Big In A Tiny House. "The tent itself is a 5 meter (16ft) diameter Lotus Belle Outback. The canvas is 350gsm, which is much heavier duty than regular canvas tents. Even the floor is constructed from the same material that many kayaks are made from."

He continues: "Keeping warm on the cooler nights is important and The Traveller Stove. At the moment, the Traveller Stove is also what I am using to do all of my cooking on. In the summer, I may find another solution for days when it's too hot to light the fire."

Obviously he needs a karzi, and it definitely can't be in the tent because the smell of shit really puts you off a pot noodle. Instead he's built an outhouse in a tiki-hut-style, which is accessible via a rope bridge which connects it to the tent. It's also got a stand up shower in there too.
