I'd love that lifestyle. We're taught from a very young age that we need college, career, wealth, power, control, and lots of expensive things. They forget to speak of the debt and stress that eventually kill all of us in one way or another. People, aside from the few who figure it out early enough, like this young man, don't live happily. We die chasing life. And never appreciate what is already available to us, for free. You are a wise young man.

The most important thing this man did, was choose the perfect land to build his home on. If you have a large, clean, natural source of water on the surface of your property, you can do just about anything you want with it and make it successful. Then, he built his home of stacked logs and Cobb supplied by his own land. That meant little to no waste of the trees and thick walls so the house is easy to heat and cool. Everything is so well thought out! Well done!...seriously, this is the best I've seen anywhere. Good job!😊

@Christine Gavin Broken Twig could you use solar or wind power? Or even a combination of solar and the grid or wind and the grid. Where does your water come from now? Also you can make sure your windows are double or preferably triple paned and top of the line. That your doors are as well and that your home is well insulated with no spots that you are leaking air. Then if it's just the 2 of you, you might consider closing off parts of the house you don't need all the time. Those things will really help your energy consumption.

Also he built the right property to be on that land without damaging nature etc, cos there are so many idiots that would build totally inappropriate homes on this type of beautiful land, and totally miss the point and ruin the surrounding nature, and wildlife habitat...... To live on the land and keep as close to the nature and wildlife that surrounds you is how it's done, with as little disruption to wildlife n nature as possible it's the only way... What a dream come true, and what a very lucky fella to be able to live this way......

From the day I was born until about the age of 13 or 14 (not exactly sure now) me and my family (7 kids plus Mom & Dad) lived off the grid. No electricity, no running water, clothes were washed by hand with scrub board, no indoor dryer etc. We had an enriched childhood and never once thought we were disadvantaged. We had a wonderful childhood-as in “Little House on the Prairie “.

My mum and her family lived that way every summer growing up, too. They lived in a city through the school year. (Both my grandparents were school teachers.) And as soon as the school year was finished their family moved back to their cabin in the woods for the summer. No electricity or running water. Bathed in the lake. Cooked and heated the home with the wood stove. They could hardly wait to go there each summer. Those were the best days of their lives. I remember visiting there as a kid, too. We pumped the water outside from the well by hand. By then they had gas for lights and a gas stove for cooking and a gas powered washing machine. And eventually they got a phone line. But no one ever thought of being at that beautiful place as hardship. To us it was paradise. Granted, we didn't build it or chop or carry firewood, etc. My grandpa did. But for my mum and her family and for all of the family since, that place and that way of life made some of the best memories of our lives.

Automobiles, overcrowding of people on the streets, fluctuation of commercial and trading operations, egotism, arrogant and intimidating humans, emergency services ( police, fire and ambulance), being judged by other people...... all those aspects are not present in this video and this way of life.

but at the end he said he was producing food from the chickens. if not just eggs but slaughters them then not so compassionate after all . what's the point of living a hermit's life when engaging in unwholesome, unrighteous deeds devoid of meditation on divine wisdom and developing compassion in one's heart for all creatures. For that end he has got a great opportunity as far as external facilities are concerned but lacks a genuine spiritual guidance. he has got a great mundane life but alas! all for nothing at the end.

Can't wait to live like this. I am an introvert empath that has been traumatized. I just want to live alone (with animals) in nature away from the rest of the world. I will be a lil more than an hour away from a major city, but I'll be fine. Nature, springs, lakes, waterfalls and lots of land for growing food. I just really need a break from broken people who refuse to self reflect and do their own healing. I just want to worry about me and my animals, worrying about others have drained and exhausted me.

Aww, you've got bats in your belfry!! Also, I gotta say: you remind me a lot of my recently deceased, long-time super-buddy. It's not exact; his face was a bit longer on the bottom half. But you're both level 5 or 6 ash hair with premature gray (he was already going grey when I first met him when he was 18 and I was 14.) Green/gray eyes (his changed colour, even as far as hazel, but they were mostly green). He's super creative, and can make/do anything, and had his life taken a different path, maybe he'd be living in a beautiful, sustainable house he built himself out in the forest. He'd be very happy with that, as long as everyone could come and visit him all the time, because he's extremely extroverted. The thing that really makes me think of him when I see this video, is you both have enormous heads (it's good! It means you're intelligent!), and your voices have a similar timbre, but with vastly different accents. (We're Canadian, but because we're as far west as you can get in Canada, on an island, in what America calls "the Pacific Northwest', we don't have The Hoser Accent. We sound like anyone from the west coast of North America; definitely more Seattle than Toronto.) So yeah. You could definitely be cousins, or perhaps stamped out of not-identical moulds from different wings of the same factory? My friend would've gotten a huuuuge kick out of your house. I hope you live a life that is as long or short as you want it to be, and filled to the brim with happiness. It makes me feel warm fuzzies there are people like you, who remind me of him, out in the world, living their best lives. 🤘🏾

@John Monday living on the grid is far more stressful. You need to pay rent and house taxes, car maintenance house maintenance, keep job, commute to job, kiss the bosses behind, commute home, buy food, cook food, be stressed, sit on your but to distress in front of a tv that spews garbage, pay more taxes, spend hours and hours of your life to get an education in order to spend hours of your life slaving away for the big guy in order to have everything that this guy has without all that. A roof over your head and food on the table. You pick your vices.
