Low Tech Self-Sufficiency in Her Amazing French Homestead 🇫🇷

[@livingbig]

Marie is one incredible woman. What she has built for herself on this land is absolutely mind blowing! It's so inspiring to see people like Marie who are so clearly following their passions in life and making things happen for themselves. I absolutely love her innovations on the land, the off-grid things she has built like the cool stoves, and how clever are those half-buried structures! That greenhouse is a dream! We hope you enjoy the tour of her amazing homestead! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! With Love, Bryce & Rasa & Our French Videographer Gabrielle!

[@abcd-jk7mx]

Hi Bryce,i love your channel and dream about having a tiny house,but i always wonder what do they do about amenities? like food,or if u need to see a doctor/hospitale,etc...

[@nancilfilsaime]

Hi Bryce and Rasa! I absolutely love this channel! This home is absolutely gorgeous! The land the view it’s breathtaking! Thank for the share!

[@mithinie]

Bryce please add French subtitles or ask Marie if she wants to record a voice over so I can share her story with my French friends and my family ❤

[@AmusedPineTrees-wh1ed]

Thank you Bryce and Rasa, I'm 68 and I love this woman's desire to live a more connected self sufficient life. I'm living on the road in New Zealand in my motorhome. Love the nomadic life.❤

[@rivernelson7239]

Indeed what a truly incredible human being this beautiful woman is, this is an inspiring life story. To me this is the true essence of tiny houses, it’s not just the houses themselves, but, the life story behind them. Thank you very much for bringing us this story. Peace, love and happiness to all Den ❤

[@pennygreening9210]

I grew more impressed by Marie with every minute. What a wonderful woman

[@andeeanko7079]

Indeed. Amazing woman!

[@peterwillcox9429]

The important thing to take from this video is the fact it’s finding what is important in life to find fulfilment. It’s not a fancy house or all the bling that goes with it. It’s connecting with the world we live in a meaningful way.

[@GabVnd]

Well said! Thanks for you comment.

[@birdhamilton]

Amen to that..❤️💪🏽

[@peaceforchildren4303]

nicely put!

[@alextrezvy6889]

The important thing is ppl already wasted most of cheap/available resources. So the tiny 'houses' is the only way to go

[@fereldensandwich982]

I love that she updated her living environment as her son grew to accommodate his wishes too.

[@MariaBella-56]

I am so amazed of how Marie is, independent, self reliant and a woman who is full of talent

[@easygii]

yes, she's giving very witchy vibes. thats the highest compliment.

[@CarlLloyd-k9c]

She is only mentioning that done all.the work herself, she built that first big house on her own,( yer right) taking all the credit, somewhere there will be men cringing ,and thinking 🤔 no way hosay

[@Jchathe]

Wow, some people do nothing with their lives. This wonderful lady has been living to the max and long may she continue! Fabulous story, thank you for sharing 🙏💕

[@theWZZA]

This is what happens when you march to the beat of your own drummer and trust in your own resourcefulness.

[@Jchathe]

@@theWZZA Yes, I couldn't agree more

[@Jchathe]

@@UmdogTR Er, in a GOOD way!

[@alexandersushko6211]

Easy to do if you come from $

[@theWZZA]

@@alexandersushko6211 I don't see anything she did as easy. It looks like hours upon hours of hard work, solving problems, and refinfing solutions. Much harder than taking unwarranted potshots from a keyboard

[@figmo397]

Marie is amazing! I love the way she not only put on the extension to her "caravan" tiny home, but that she also built two cabins for the hotter summer months. One of my favorite things was that bicycle-controlled washing machine. There's something about using yourself as a power generator that seems really cool!

[@gamtngirl3655]

Marie is amazing. Awesome & creative. And, Marie, thank you for not ever moving without your two horses, your dog, and your cat. I know they are grateful.

[@guesswho4555]

👏👏👏🖤 I am green with envy at her lifestyle. Long may she enjoy happiness and contentment.

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

My goodness, the woman is simply impressive, and charming, and fearless. I mean, wow. Talk about living life to the fullest. And it's a great education that she's giving her son in learning not only to be self sufficient, but to living life on your own terms. Great example.

[@fcdl5688]

I have seen a lot of fancy and modern tiny houses on this show and they are all lovely, but this one stole my heart with its simplicity and efficiency. Deep inside, it’s not a mansion I crave, it’s peace and harmony with nature.

[@GabVnd]

Wow thank you so much for your comment!! ❤

[@Wayfarer889]

Me too! It is the pulse of this dream that keeps calling me. But although I am resourceful, I am not at all inclined to build things. I love that this place is such a beautiful expression of her spirit, and I aim to create a similar experience for the 2nd half of my life.

[@emilypeterson4886]

This woman must never have a boring day in her life! Everytime i thought that the video was nearing the end (because surely she couldn't accomplish MORE, right?) it kept just kept going on. 🤯 one of the wisest humans on earth. Wow, what an honor it would be to be her friend 🩷

[@christopheolivier1012]

I' do agree, on all points.Ce serait un honneur d'être l'ami de Marie.

[@CeeDeeLight]

Wow! She forgot to say engineering as a skill. That washing machine setup was creative. This way of life is a hommage to our ancestors self sufficiency.

[@susandam5153]

What a courageous woman with exquisite taste! Thank you for sharing your story. I loved it!

[@livingbig]

You're very welcome!

[@ElizabethGrindon]

Love the pedaling washing machine and her reading a book while she pedals! So inventive! Also such a beautiful smile!

[@katella]

I think that these pedal machines should be offered for sale. I'm sure there are people who would like to get their exercise and laundry done at the same time.

[@laddoothesweet6381]

This channel has shown the most high-tech of Tiny houses and then there is this one that actually personifies the actual meaning of this channel - Living BIG. Marie is my kind of person (Monami), LOVES ANIMALS, In tune with nature and cares about the universe enough to step out of her own comfort zone. RESPECT. The best I have seen on this channel so far.

[@GabVnd]

Wow thank you so much for your comment! 😮❤ I'm very glad you liked this episode and Marie's lifestyle. 😊 Gabrielle

[@JanesDough855]

This is one tough and determined woman. I love her zest for living a good and clean life, and she is teaching her the son the basics that so many of us lack. What more do you need but a solid roof over your head, good food and water, and the ability to become more One with Nature. I wish her and her son the Very Best in their coming years.

[@ardethellis8930]

Wow. Just wow. I need to rewatch this every week to remind me what is possible. Thank you Bryce and Rasa for bringing Marie to us.

[@GabVnd]

Ankcyou so much fornyou comment! Very happy you like this episode :) Gabrielle

[@ktdisco]

This is such a unique episode - thank you for showing so many different alternate lifestyles and building styles. This woman is incredible and such an innovator!

[@GabVnd]

[@adowajahzara6931]

This woman is the MacGyver of Tiny Houses and sustainable living. She is absolutely amazing. Great episode!

[@gust1x]

Wow, her story is like nothing else!

[@delphina1111]

This is so liberating compared to all the fancy tiny house videos. She brings elegance to true simplicity. In her i see there is a saintliness to living in such harmony!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@daisylyn2336]

She's must be the most resourceful empowered woman on the internet! And she has 2 horses! So rich!

[@pdq5465]

My goodness, what an an astonishing woman!!! Apparently, she’s not daunted by anything. And she’s so accomplished, with her education, building skills, gardening/farming skills, animal care, music, bilingual. So impressive. It seems that there’s nothing she can’t do. Thanks for sharing this lady with us.😮🇨🇦

[@rebeccaandersen655]

What a beautiful person!

[@BreaBreaBreeze]

This woman is a living breathing example of taking life by the horns. She is a true nurturer and caretaker of her child, the land, animals, plants and others. She’s using her time on earth and FULLY LIVING. What a woman! I bet her birth chart is out of this world lol

[@lindar6151]

Very impressed with this amazing woman. She is so talented and I love that she is helping the animals and the earth with her wonderful lifestyle!

[@Thehappyification]

She loves herself and her animals and the environment and the travels! !!!! And the brain and the courage! And hardworking! Almost more better and beautiful than the perfection!

[@K3Bear11]

A woman after my own heart....no matter what....no matter how many times she moves...she always takes her animals with her!!! I wish other people would do the same!! I know I always have too!! Bless your heart Marie!! OX

[@janer2703]

Marie is a beautiful and creative free spirit. I hope she can keep sharing her happiness for many years to come. ❤

[@cannavaras]

Iill go put the coffee on! My son's just started on his tiny home journey so I'm taking an even keener interest 👍 thanks guys.

[@mrsc120]

Good luck to him.

Cheers Andy! There's a lot of super interesting stuff in this episode, so I think you'll especially enjoy this one. All the best to your son! Hopefully we will be touring his tiny home someday soon! 😃 Enjoy your coffee!

What an incredible episode, thank you, and Marie, you are truly inspiring.

[@LindaHolmanNZ]

I really want Marie to be my friend! What an amazing, inspiring, wonderful human!

[@AgnesMariaL]

We live off-grid in a trailer the same size, and love it! I really liked Marie's idea of adding the additional layer of insulation and cladding on the outside; I will have to show my husband that part of the video, because our house is not only very cold in winter, but it's also old so it leaks everywhere.

[@flyoverurbangarden4315]

Beautiful life. She's an awesome person with so much talent and imagination. I covet her little black dog.

[@witriole_22]

Inspiring. She is very resourceful.

[@johncopeland3826]

You have one of the most astonishing lifestyles possible Marie ..I am in awe of your total independence . Fresh air ...freedom ...animals ...peace and quiet....natural foods and no one to have an argument with ...now that's the life alright . Best wishes from Scotland and enjoy yourself .

[@Aziyza]

Really enjoyed this one. The lady has a beautiful spirit. She accomplished so much and watching her story at the same time makes me sad. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lalita_Chevaliere_108]

Why does it make you sad?

Wow, it's not just tiny house but story of all unique humans carving their own path. In recent times one of the best video I've seen..❤

A truly creative and curious spirit and I love it that she carries her entire family with her as she moves. She does not abandon animals, as so many people do. And the smile on her face is constant. Inspiring!

[@jilllangman9343]

[@sheilabartlett6044]

Awesome going Marie, you have achieved so much and your home looks amazing to be so self sufficient, Bravo girl!

[@katella]

I believe she has been able to do these things because she has not wasted her time and energy on a man. Imagine what we all could do...

[@josepsamarrafarre]

Wow, I'm going to use this video each time I need to show someone what it truly means to be an "independent and empowered woman". Not everyone is going to share her outlook on life, but Marie is an incredible human being on many levels and an shinning example when it comes self-sufficientcy for everyone.

[@elspethfougere9683]

[@tomtompkins6779]

Your life is a great example of determinate living. Living in the moment. Each of your projects all of your accomplishments one after the other. Not to reach some long life goal but to live every moment to its fullest. My head is reeling with all the accomplishments you have made. It's fantastic. Certainly a life that's being fully lived. Your hard work and determination have paid off throughout your life and continues to do so. Lots of us are dreamers and imaginers, but you are definitely the best doer I have ever heard of.

[@Lalita_Chevaliere_108]

Je suis totalement émerveillée par Marie! J'aimerais tant apprendre d'elle et être comme elle - un cadeau pour la terre et les animaux... Et les humains! Son fils a de la chance d'avoir une super-héroïne pour Maman! ❤
