SIMPLICITY IN LIVING, YOU CANNOT BEAT IT

[@cuernavacadave]

Wow, awesome home!!! I so admire people who are happy living this way. If I didn’t own my home, I could never afford to buy one now. Thankfully, when I bought my house, it was a reasonable price. Now, here in Atlantic Canada, the prices have soared. I’d pay at least 6x what I paid for this one. I thank God every day for my home, I see people my age (almost 69) who live on what I get in pensions and can’t imagine having to pay rent out of that amount. Thank you for sharing. It’s a real gem. Much continue happiness to you!

So nice to read so many people being so nice and positive about Ollie ,I’ve known the guy 20 odd years ,when he was making his dads coffin ( whilst he was still alive ) it’s how he got so into woodwork ,but he had been living in a horse box lorry for a good few years at that point already,he ran a festival cafe for a few years converting that horse box ,then a double decker ,then an old school blim bus to serve the food from ,,all absolutely beautifully done,anyway everyone is correct he is a great guy

[@mariareid4908]

What a lovely grounded gentleman! He’s calm energy is amazing too! “Just fills my cup” 😊🙏🏻

[@lr3962]

Seems like a very happy, grounded, genuine dude

[@ronachadwick7908]

"Paying a lot to stay still" says it all. We live in a crazy ponzi scheme that is crushing people. I live in a house (bought dirt cheap yrs ago) and like you i reuse the water. I save my shower water in a bucket. I use that to flush the toilet. I have a tub in my sink. I tip the dirty water onto the garden. I built several wicking beds to grow my food. They are very economical with water. My service charge is higher than my water consumption! I am converting my weedy verge back to native plants. More natural habitat for native insects, reptiles, mammals and birds is so important. Simple is better. Thankyou for gt video

[@RichInRibeyes]

Cool setup Ollie. "Labour intensive not money intensive". Absolutely bang on sir 💪🏻 I love the garden platform at the rear. Must be a great place to chill out 😎

[@livinglifetothefullest22]

I Love a guy like Ollie! He knows what life is all about! ❤❤

[@_B_E_C_K_Y_]

What a lovely and peaceful home, I would LOVE to live like this. I absolutely hate living in a house and the constant letters coming through the door. I work full time just to keep my house going and then can’t afford to actually do anything else. A house is such a burden!

[@mariareid4908]

What a lovely gentleman! He’s calm energy is amazing too! “Just fills my cup” 😊🙏🏻

[@charliebarley-x3p]

Love it Ollie didn’t realise you were in a horse box, I totally agree with all you said and yes my favourite thing is the birds and being right there with nature, great video loved it 😍

[@lindaallen2412]

What a lovely guy, and really love how he has done his living space

[@sharkamov]

*Now **_this_** is what I would call **_grounded_** living! . . .* 👌 (PS: The woodburning stove (oven), is a Norwegian made 'Jøtul' (eng. 'Joetul'), it has for _generations_ been one of the most popular of it's type here in my country, in everything from small cabins and apartments (and even to bigger houses), and it's indeed a very, very effective heating source! . . . )

[@georgepetrin1334]

You have it right Ollie: the only one you have to please is yourself and you seem to be doing that very well.

[@deborahg4599]

“Just fills my cup” excellent description of my nomadic life as well! Carry on, great video and subject! Great work Ollie!!

[@davidjackson1986]

What a bloke..living he’s best life ✌️

[@RichieRouge206]

I completely relate to Ollie with the bad back thing. It’s awful and when you are floored for weeks it’s awful. I love the horsebox build - it’s so cozy and a very easy life indeed. I totally agree with the eco and simple life. It makes you realise how disconnected we are from nature and slaves to the system.

[@EnglishFuture-xg1gw]

How disconnected indeed. wet need nature. how's the back

[@coffee6783]

He has great taste, it's absolutely beautiful.👍

[@dixworkshop4377]

What a lovely guy, genuine humble and very grounded. Nice to see.

[@wextremeart4399]

That's cool he found a way to make it work

[@ZERODESTRUCTION]

I love Ollie's decorating style! Especially the wooden shelves with the curved cut-outs for headroom. Genius. I've lived in a 40' office trailer turned tiny house for over 30 years. Great video! Thanks

[@StarCaledonia]

Ollie seems like a really down to earth sweet man. I love his comment about choosing his future instead of place and things making the choice for him

[@sandydouglas3799]

What an awesome guy. I love his beautiful home.

[@jamesfeeley5854]

I love this guys whole ethos. People get so caught up in possessions and having all the latest fashion/tech cars etc. look how relaxed and at peace he is. He’s got life Sussed out

[@outoforbit00]

Thank you for posting this and thanks to the fine gentleman for inspiring us with his way of living.

[@islandwild5771]

Ollie is a lovely guy just a chilled sole , great to see you on here Ollie 🙏 Jon .

[@Olliebenn69]

Thank you 😊

[@LightweightUK2007]

Been wanting to do this for years, and all the stuff that Ollie so beautifully and openly talks about has always appealed to me. This is true freedom ❤

[@anuverun6762]

Lovely space. Lovely ethos. Lovely chap.

[@clairecooper197]

Wow, what. Decent guy. I also practice reiki. I love your home. ❤

[@susanstandard8727]

That setup is pretty nice. The interior looks like a “hug”!

[@esmeraldaoreilly5945]

I love my Campervan, it’s a far better and more joyful way of living than any house I’ve ever lived in… highly recommend it 👌✨

[@methekidandthedog8196]

Very well put. About how people live how we were told to live and when people step out of it others don't easily accept it. This is really neat. I have a skoolie and I get it. Peace of mind. Love it❤

[@roygbiv6704]

Wow! Ollie 'knows himself'. His cup is certainly full! Keep 'em coming guys, I will watch them all 🙂

[@deeoh3708]

Love the fact that Ollie has a wood fire for cooking and heating and a mobile copper sink bowl to use watering plants as well!

[@HLnotHL]

Well done Ollie, a simple life is the happiest life

[@janebrommet7942]

Hi Ollie from Holland. I sleep in a two horsebox!! Atrached to my gipsy trailer as a tiny house... Love your crib... 🎉🎉🎉

[@bernadettebentley]

Hi,you're my kind of person,no frills,what for? Half our lives is spent getting the material things we think brings us happiness,and exist,your on to it,less really is the best.I really like your place it's really an extension of you enjoy,I know you will😊

[@DebNewton-kh4cv]

Massive Respect, Life of Freedom 🖖

[@SelfEsteemArchitect]

That must be so peaceful. Love the steps for the dog. I built my dog a ramp with carpet for grip as she got older - she loved it. Good for you!

[@efortunywhitton]

What a sweet man; and really lovely, cosy, home. 😊

[@LT35story]

Very humble man

[@mattsmith8652]

Nice kettle ollie! 😊

[@Olliebenn69]

A very dear friend bought me that kettle. 😂❤

[@noelinegrondin1067]

😍 wow ! Your horse box is so beautiful ! ❤️ 👏👏👏👏👍 Thanks for sharing !

[@JanetJames-dw6xo]

I love your van it looks cosy and welcoming. You are living the life.

[@paganmoon8540]

Lovely guy and a lovely living space he has created. I would have to have a seperate basin for my dishes and washing myself though. Enjoy watching these videos, in my bus in Aotearoa New Zealand, whist knitting my son some socks.

[@markwantling2893]

Love the van and simplicity of your lifestyle well done pal 👍

[@susansheehan431]

Just beautiful. I'm jealous. All the way from Minnesota,USA.

[@cawstongreenway]

[@markgraves4563]

What a lovely home 😊

[@gallopingg1]

Ollie, you are a super cool guy, living the life, from surrey

[@clarejohnson8271]

Oh wow what an amazing man 😍

[@mandypetrie8903]

What a lovely man.

[@catherinemoore9534]

Lovely abode. 😍 But nothing was said about the 'legal' set up: is the land private? Is it just a rented place? As usual, the hardest part of living on a spot long term, is to overcome the local rules and regulations... 🤕 Anyway, this truck is a gem and it's owner a great inspiration for sustainable living. 👏

[@angelinasouren]

Yeah, I wondered too. (In the Netherlands, he'd very likely be breaking the law.)

[@Trishawitchqueen]

Um nothing is ever mentioned. Long term park up, toilet nearby, plugged into electric? Surrounded with trailers. Why do they never ask about the land. Owned, rented, or do you just rock up and hope for the best? Council tax? Too many unanswered questions.

[@angelinasouren]

@@Trishawitchqueeni think he said that his workshop was nearby and that he had a toilet there. I'm always curious about the address that they use for their bank accounts etc. There are always questions about how you do this in practice, but maybe there are reasons for not discussing that in a video. He's probably living on a friend's land or maybe his parents'. The next video I watched by this channel was about a guy who openly said that formally, he was living with his parents, but did full-time van life. Lucky for him. (Even if you have parents who let you do that, in some countries, it would have financial consequences for the parents. Their pensions might be lowered because there is income from a third person at the address, stuff like that.)

[@ziefik]

This is something that's often not talked about and something I've been looking into for a while now. It seems that it's quite difficult to find land that you can just live on without either jumping through a lot of hoops, trying to hide somewhere for years on end and dodging the council or just paying a lot of money. I'm guessing some people find a way to do it and don't really want it publicised too much since we all know once the masses get involved things get ruined. It's certainly not quite as easy as some make it out to be.

[@flamefox8989]

Drawing attention to his living circumstances could alert unwanted attention from councils etc

[@andrewbilton5993]

A lovely bloke- very genuine

[@traceyhill7784]

Love his wonderful life attitude 😊

[@PaulO-mv6ku]

Excellent video - he seems so happy!

[@veritas4us]

Cool guy with a fantastic outlook.

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I love your home and life its fabulous a really lovely man so connected with wildlife plants its just magic great video

[@angelinasouren]

Great! I'm jealous! I lived nextdoor to the Isle of Wight for about two decades, but I only made it over to Cowes once and that's it. Walked to the east, and back, walked to the west, and back, had lunch. I always was curious what the rest of it was like.

[@WalksInCamera]

Cool living setup and he seems to be very content and happy with life!

[@ginnyberg9271]

I agree. I just built a 8x16 and not going from pay check to paycheck . It’s not my job to convince people. They want to waste money is there beliefs and this is mine. We are all different

[@florencehodges-moore2909]

Hey there how lucky you are and so relaxed I do envy you and your life style happy life thank you for sharing ❤

[@beryle6872]

Fantastic, glad tou so at peace and Happy! You have a lovely smile too😊

[@EnglishFuture-xg1gw]

he looks 😊😊 and relaxed

[@SkintLivingUK]

You have a lovely home, Ollie! I love the blue curved wall cupboards they look very stylish. But my favourite is the bus seat :0)

[@grahamwilliams5190]

For 8 years, I've lived in a tiny house I built on a 24'x8' trailer. It has 2 upstairs bedrooms, each with a balcony. Downstairs, there is a living room, kitchenette, bathroom, and toilet. Downstairs ceiling height is 2m and upstairs, 1.6m. As I'm a shortie of 1.58m, it's comfortable. There are, of course, road height limits. My house is situated on a farm, where I do 2 hrs work/5, to 'pay' for site and power. I've been 'retired' nearly 4 years. I keep all my pension and live very comfortably. I'm confident that my house would be suitable for a very small family, or a place to live, while saving for a house, when then it could be sold, or sited on the purchased property, to be rented, and thus pay part of the mortgage. I hope this is inspirational to some.

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Great set up. This is the dream..😊

[@Olliebenn69]

Thank you 😊

[@saraocampo9066]

Perfect space to live in. Pretty design and decorated.

[@loopylou]

[@nickinthefield4202]

As a fellow horse box dweller I applaud you dude. One question , toilet? 😊

[@Happy_Limpet]

Nice set up and nice guy too , all the best to him ,🙂

[@Olliebenn69]

Thank you 😊

[@vanessadeklerk2862]

Love it! Maybe just separate basins for body and food! 😉

[@angeladawn805]

Awesome set-up Ollie, you've made yourself a beautiful wee home ❤❤

[@Olliebenn69]

Thank you 😊

[@daveunsworth9931]

What a lovely home you have.

[@Olliebenn69]

Many thanks 🙏

[@brendalister7560]

Fabulous home

[@juanitahamlin8478]

Hubs and I moved to a tiny cabin on land purchased by land contract and paid off in five years. we are on social security so no work but it is 384 sq ft and two of us and a dog. we have a little greenhouse. I gardened on a hillside behind the cabin. the less I have the less I realize I need. I feel so bad for those who cannot find the peace that living minimally can bring. The most common thing I hear is that they need more space to entertain relatives at Christmas. One of the most glorious things about this is that I can have day visits but no overnight or long term till they get on their feet visits ha ha it frees me to say NO

[@henryjohnfacey8213]

Just brilliant. Greetings and good luck.

[@margaretmcdonald-lawson7989]

I love your home, it’s beautiful.

[@Olliebenn69]
