living the dream! a 'simple ' off-grid life

[@linlinali]

the way dog babes jump into the house and then hiding cozy under neath the cover❤❤❤ i live with two large dogs they pretty much the same always following me and ejoying the shared space with us humans❤❤ it is a bliss. they never shout at you never try to control you, always happy, and only sad when you forget to manage your emotions and balance yourself. they are literally god walking besides us every day reminding us how worry free we should be like them. ❤

[@annettafick2100]

Look at you!!!!!! House, fire, kettle, pots and bed !!!! Congrats and well done. Veggie garden going. Proud of you. Love your house it is awesome. Greetings from South Africa❤

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Much greetings back! And thank you very much 😊

I'd build a bunkbed, to keep my bed separate from the dogs'.....

Hi Rita how are you doing today

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

😊 thank you

[@giarivera5060]

Me too.

[@MitchellTickle1962]

Brings back so many memories of the quiet, peaceful time's, as I lived off grid several times in woods, creek & with my dog. Enjoy your set-up, love the campfire area as well. Simple is living free !

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

That is awesome! And yeah I feel very blessed to be able to do this

[@TerriTownsend]

Love your home your dogs and other animals on your amazing little spot of heaven you have created❤

[@nim3186]

Puppies look like they want a backpack for carrying drinking water! What great companions they trust you 100%. Can’t wait to see what other video you have posted in the past! Love sounds of nature!

[@DWSP101]

I’m just gonna say this, the fact that all of these camera angles that he puts into the recording at the very beginning of the video and I haven’t even watched that far in he had to go back and forth, placing that camera repetitively to get those shots so let’s just give a round of applause. He literally went back and forth..

[@vikkirat]

yeah, even before making coffee !!!

Wonderful to see how far you have come. A cosy house that you have built yourself.What a satisfying experience. A fantastic outcome. Well done. Shayne, Cape Town, South Africa

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Thank you very much! Much appreciated! And yeah it's really satisfying to wake up in my cabin, with the sounds of the river in the background and the birds singing their songs in the morning. I'm loving it

Köszönjük!

[@sylviagardner9169]

These bring back nice memories of my holidays at grandparents who were living off grid and they were living from their produce.

[@neutonrenda2303]

Love cooking over the open fire, here in South Africa it's called a braai, and it's a regular weekend activity for most. Great to see the progress, I noticed the tent came down as well. Have you got any plans for your floor?

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Yes , I will make a stone floor at some point, but I still need to finish 1 wall from the cabin actually, so first things first 😄

[@YoannCharlie]

Nice place! The nature looks like Hérault south of France where I was born, a stream, fig jam, olive trees...I have also seen fresh water being stored in the same manner Beautiful Zion bro, greetings from La Réunion Island

W❤W. What a lovely life. You are living the best life that many of us including me wish we were. Well Done😊

[@mx.notyourbusiness8693]

No, what people wish for is this as a vacation to sometimes escape the perceived "modern complicated world" and their daily routine, especially work. Escapism. Most people wouldn't want to give up electricity, the internet and other modern conveniences. This simple lifestyle is glorified just like vanlife, buslife, tiny houses and others. All of these are only suitable for very specific people and for others only from time to time. It's nice and relaxing to watch and yeah, it can feel great to build something yourself. But don't fool yourself into thinking a life like this isn't harsh in every way imaginable.

[@darrelltregear756]

​@@mx.notyourbusiness8693yes some KZbinrs like fake van life are just acting to get subscribers and are just basically adverts.im not saying this guy is doing this.

[@gilesf1]

​@@mx.notyourbusiness8693With all due respect, you completely miss the point. Yes, I would imagine this life is challenging in many ways but with all the skills he is learning not to mention mental strength it won't be something he will live to regret.

[@lindas5964]

Simply listened to this while I worked my loom. Very peaceful ❤

[@catarinacarrasco5938]

Your home looks great, truly happy for you 😊 it really warms my heart to see your puppies on your bed🥰🥰

Haha, yes, even if it tried getting them out, there is no stopping them sneaking under the blankets 😆

[@neutonrenda2303]

House is looking amazing, great to see you in already, it must be so exciting being able to start using it. I can't believe how much you've done already.👍

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Yes it's lovely! I am really enjoying it! It's good to be out that tent for sure 😄

[@jdaly1739]

Very good to see someone living a free simple existence. Small tip.. people love to see the dogs get fed too. Especially dog lovers. 😊But good for you.

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Thanks for the tips!

[@neutonrenda2303]

That sure looks cold, I hope you have plans for that enamel bath for warming it up in the future. I also see that you've been busy with the garden as well, I'm surprised at how nice the soil looks dug over. I thought it would have been more rocky, being close to the water is going to be a great asset for growing.👍

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Yeah the soil looks pretty good when it's wet, but 1 week with some sun and it looks very different, but yes I'm very happy there isn't much rocks in the soil to..

[@thenextpoetician6328]

Of course I'm just picking at nits, however, a flint and steel would be an upgrade from a lighter, and I can only encourage you to consider no-dig gardening. Turning over soil is devastating to the microbiota. I did 9 summers on fire towers. Nothing tops being immersed in nature. peace out.

[@leavingbabylonfamily]

Hi thanks for tge feedback, Don't worry, I am all about no dig. But if you want to start on ground that has been compacted by horses and cars and tractors for years, then I would advise to do a small dig the first year,(unless you have few years patience before you get descent crops)also the soil here and soil structure is kinda worthless, there isn't much life in it. I will start mulching and making compost soon, building up life in the soil...
