Family-of-four live 'off-grid' with barely any household bills

Barny Maurice, 42, and Katus Young, 43, live with their sons Madog, seven, and Malinki, three, (left) near Gamblesby, Cumbria. The family bought 3.5 acres of land in 2014 which now comprises gipsy wagons, a wooden cabin (inset), a toilet which turns their waste into compost and a shower running off solar. They make a living from renting out wagons to holidaymakers and Katus' career as a touring folk singer (right), while their only regular outgoing is their £89.70 monthly council tax bill. Their son also rides one of the family’s Shetland ponies for his daily commute to school.
