INCREDIBLE Tiny House OFF-GRID HOMESTEAD | SELF-BUILT

Nobu built this tucked-away Tiny House Off-Grid Homestead from scratch to create a place for his family to live in harmony with nature. Three years ago, he and his wife Kei moved to the Japanese countryside to start living off-grid, building two tiny houses, growing their own food, foraging, and working with local material like bamboo. They are aiming to live sustainably and are raising their boy, Terra, rooted to the land. This is simply a great real-world example of permaculture.

The whole world will be fulfilled with food by the thanks of Homesteading people are going back to the root & taking ventures to grow their table food...& this trend will make the world as food basket..

Your Grandma would be PROUD

I love Nobu's attitude. We have been homesteading for over a decade, and I can say it is never easy, but his can-do perspective is inspiring and heartwarming. He nailed it when he spoke about community, because once you've mastered the myriad challenges of homesteading, it is giving back to the community that creates the continuity of generations. Banpuku.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment. I actually went to Middlebury, so I'm super pumped to see this video reaching you & my beloved 'home' state :)

[@avermontlife]

​@@GrowingSmall You are very welcome. Middlebury is a beautiful campus. I love these videos, so please keep up the good work. :)

[@kittywhite1924]

It's wonderful that you revived your Grand Mother's land and gave it new life. Love all the tiny structure's built without nail, truly amazing, a peaceful Haven in a world of chaos.

[@GrowingSmall]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment!

I call people like this: The guardian of Earth. Cause They are produce food and piece, not produce "war".

My biggest dream was to move to Japan with my wife and live off the land . Meet good farmers who can teach and hire for help , after research it seems the visa process brings more complications that it’s taking us longer than we expected and then Covid hit the world . Plans are now stagnated and the place I live is just getting more corrupt and unhealthy . That would be America , learning Japanese aswell so hopeful that if nothing bad happens in the next 5 years I will soon leave to Japan and pursue farming off the grid . If that’s even possible

[@lunizparlein173]

Wow. He's done so well! It's inspiring.

He cut the bamboo forest down, then he used bamboo sticks to stop the erozion caused by deforestation. It's amazing. Insparing, yeah! Give me a chain saw, yeeeeeah!!!

My dream

I'm in Tasmania Australia, and I drive the same Mitsubishi minicab Miev EV as you, I can also charge it from my off grid shack, but I don't know how to charge it directly from my solar panels, I have to charge via the batteries and inverter.

[@igorjee]

I sold my grandparents' house on a 2000m2 wild garden and I have started to beat myself up for it everyday with an increasing sense of remorse. It was a huge mistake to sell at least 250 years of family history, childhood memories of me, my mom, and my ancestors, the link to the village, and the opportunity to connect with a piece of land so significant for me and bring my future kids to their great-grandparents home. Now I am looking for some piece of land where I could start a food forest, but I lost 12 years, prices quintupled, and it will never be the same. So much jealously guarded heritage built with the sweat of their brows squandered. I am deeply regretful and ashamed. I didn't know better, I didn't see the value I can see now and there is no one living I could ask forgiveness from.
