I Turned an Abandoned Oil Tanker Train Into a Luxury Survival Home With a Pool in the Desert (ASMR)

Описание: Surviving alone in the vast Dubai desert, I discovered a forgotten, rusted oil tanker train that had been abandoned for decades under the scorching sun. Instead of leaving it to decay, I made a bold decision: to transform this massive, damaged tanker into a fully functional survival retreat — complete with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, workspace, and even a swimming pool in the middle of the desert.

This cinematic, no-dialogue restoration journey follows every step of the transformation, from raw rust and decay to a peaceful, luxurious off-grid living space designed for extreme desert conditions.

Phase 1 – Preparation & Planning 01:30

I began by clearing the surrounding area, inspecting the abandoned tanker, sketching design ideas, and preparing tools and materials for a long-term survival build in harsh desert conditions.

Phase 2 – Living Space, Kitchen & Bathroom 03:36

In the second railcar behind the locomotive, I built the main living area. I cut two large panoramic windows to bring in natural desert light, thoroughly cleaned decades of rust and dirt, and installed wooden floors, walls, and ceilings. A modern living room, compact kitchen, dining area, and bathroom were carefully arranged to create a comfortable and practical interior.

Phase 3 – Bedroom Conversion 10:19

For the bedroom, I chose the locomotive cabin at the front of the train. All damaged equipment and old controls were removed, the interior was fully cleaned, and natural wood was installed throughout. I then set up a cozy, minimalist bedroom designed for rest and isolation in the desert.

Phase 4 – The Ultimate Desert Pool 12:36

The most exciting phase was building a swimming pool. In the third tanker car, I marked the cutting line and removed the upper half of the tank horizontally using cutting tools and a pickup truck to pull it away. After cleaning, grinding, and surface treatment, the remaining half-cylinder was tiled with blue pool tiles and transformed into a fully functional swimming pool — a refreshing oasis under the desert sun.

This project is a mix of survival engineering, heavy restoration, deep-cleaning ASMR, and cinematic storytelling — showing how even the most abandoned machines can be reborn into something extraordinary.

If you enjoy off-grid survival, extreme restorations, abandoned structures, and oddly satisfying transformation videos, this one is for you.
