It’s something we’ve all thought about, but never had the guts/capabilities to do: living in a storage unit. Residing in London, I could only dream of living in a space that costs me £200 per month, but a man who goes by the name ‘007craft’ was ballsy enough to make this a reality. Here’s his story:

I had just come back from hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and found myself homeless. I had given up my apartment to go hike and now that I was back I wanted to turn my car into a livable space. I eventually did that … but found I still needed access to lots of stuff from my storage unit which was 6x4x10 and everything was just jammed in there. I figured there had to be a better way. I scoped out a 10x10x6 unit and moved all my stuff inside. Still super small, I managed to build shelves and organise it in a way where everything is accessible. But why stop there! I decided to build shelves and a water system and setup my actual apartment so I could live there. I was moving in! I ended up living in the unit for around 2 months. I only spent around $100 making the space as efficient as I did, mostly because I already owned so much hardware. The cost of rent on my unit was $205 a month (which included insurance). A bargain, considering an apartment in the area was $1000+ a month. I made this video showcasing my work/unit.

Looks pretty cushty right? Only question is, where the fuck does he shower? Perhaps he just lives off of festival washes.
