Man & His Dog Live In Swedish Inspired Tiny House | Off Grid Living

[@belindaknowles7440]

Don’t forget older people who live on a fixed income. I am 63 and would love to live this way. I am so tired of being bombarded with bad news and political ads. Thanks for sharing your wonderful way of living😊

I'm 67 with only a state pension. The rent on my modest 2 bed house is £850 a month. With bills i'm paying nearly £1300 a month. Needless to say the modest amount of savings i have is rapidly depleting. Next month i'm moving into a brand new chalet on a farm for £450 a month including all bills! I only got this because a friend of mine has a holiday chalet there and the farmer will only take people that are recommended by his current tenants. Got zero help from my local council. Apparently working and paying tax for 52 years doesn't entitle me to anything more than my state pension.

hengirling7859 the system sucks. My family is sharing land and living off grid soon.

[@jewelrussell8288]

This young man is blessed and it's obvious from his comments that he works the land to help his mum out. Besides, it will be his inheritance one day. Lovely his mum is seeing him enjoy her gift. She is also seeing her son live independently. I hope she is proud of him. Also, it is clear he doesn't take any of this for granted. I'd be proud of him and I am happy for him. In today's world it is much harder for the young ones to have homes of their own. I wish them both all the best.

[@flyonthewall28]

Oli said that society is not ok with this new style of living since it’s not contributing -I’m assuming he meant taxes and consumerist behaviour that keeps the wheels of economy spinning. Well I’m afraid that people with common sense understand that less pressure on the housing market preserves more valuable land and disperses populations across larger areas which benefits society and economies immeasurably . Also people like himself preserve the lands they live on and help the soils recover and be more productive. Such practices in pockets of agricultural land may influence neighbouring land owners and farmers to reduce use of chemicals. Well done Oli keep up the good work!

[@racebanning6390]

Well said!!!👍👍

[@RichieRouge206]

That is exactly how I want to live. Especially with the cost of everything here in the Uk! Are there any tiny home groups? What a great lad and I share his ethos about having things to keep and hate this disposable society we are in. My car is 20yo and I keep it going. I collect CDs and DVDs for the same reason!. I hate the TV these days and I certainly don’t think he is a luddite at all. He has actually removed him from the utter material chaos that we seem to have to conform to.

12V grid - I love it... I am an electric technician, and when i learned about solar back some years ago, I always thought 12, 24, 48 or even 96V busses are the most intelligent and efficient idea to power your small (off grid) home: The inverters are often noisy, they cost a lot and then they go bad way to soon. If you think about how much you can accomplish with only 12V, it is amazing. I am very delighted to see, how little space is actually needed one the roof to pull that all off... gratulations!

Human waste is great to compost IF that human avoids toxic chemicals in foods, drinks, household products, ingesting, injecting, etc You can tell if you’ve had toxic chemicals if your waste stinks. It doesn’t stink offensively when it’s all organic non processed and no toxic chemicals injected or ingested in your system. You’ll rarely get ill too.

[@efortunywhitton]

Beautiful home and area. 😊❤

[@danapertile106]

I would make skirting around the bottom of the tiny house as it can prevent draft from coming under the house and making the floor cold. Also, skirting would prevent the snow and the moisture from getting under the house onto the chassis. It could get rusty over the time... If you want warmer floors, just get some skirting and you will notice the difference immediately, even if you do have well insulated floors. It will still be a difference.

[@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.living]

I like theses videos but I feel they paint a rose tinted glasses look at these life styles with out explaining the legality and how they live like this with strick planning laws in the UK the only place that allows it is wales and there still many hoops to jump through before you can live this way

[@cupra2Jock.]

From my understanding, it helps to keep wild stock (doesn't have to be a million pigs and chicken) to then create a farming business, then add tons of wildlife by planting hedge rows/trees and shrubs to create your agroforestry. Then maybe dig a pond or something for fish...whilst doing all that, get your little out house and live in it, causing no one trouble. If the council complain you then have roughly 2/3 years of appeals back and forth to either get off the land or get permission. Now who would want to ruin all that I just mentioned, I'd make it so the council was turned against for kicking me and my wife potentially children off the land.

I don't know for sure but it could be because it's built on a trailer, lots of the time properties land agreements might say no permanent structures but if it's built on wheels he can win that argument all day long

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi, at the end of the day you don’t need to much to live in. You just need somewhere to sleep somewhere to cook and a small bathroom for showering and toilet. You don’t have to have a four bedroom house to live in. I live in a three bedroom home, and I only use the lounge room The kitchen in the bathroom/laundry the rest of the house is really a waste of time. Unfortunately I have a disability I would’ve down sided along time ago

[@stevevernon5038]

Thank you. I'm totally on the same page with you concerning where the bathroom/loo is located in a house.

[@Neostorm1964]

I, I, I. Yet again, the question we want to know.....How have you managed to live there full time? Hundreds of us wanting to do this and you know damn well, its virtually impossible, even if we can afford land. Not all of us want to live in with other people ( communities) either.

[@patkilmurray4702]

You are dead right there. My son, a carpenter has lovingly transformed a removal van into a really cool tiny home but is being hounded by the Council despite having permission of the landowner to live there. You can't just buy a bit of land and bung a caravan etc on it to live in, not allowed. Perhaps some councils are more relaxed but certainly not ours. (Lincolnshire where there's plenty of land.)

[@Neostorm1964]

@patkilmurray4702 it's so sad. I don't believe there are any councils who are lenient now. This situation is not going to improve in the future, for anyone who wants to do it, especially solo. Bank of mummy and daddy and what else? I've looked into this a long time, as have many others.

[@ziefik]

Judging by the way he's positioned the house he's trying to be sneaky and hide away between trees for the 5 year rule (or is it 10 years now?). I enjoy these videos as a source of inspiration of what I want to do in life, but the sad reality of it is that it's not cheap and damn near impossible to do without playing this hideaway game or trying to become a farmer...

Great Living ... thats what we seek. No rent... , plenty of space, and simplicity. We are only here for a moment, a drop or water in an ocean of time. I live in my truck camper , on my land 4 years now, i wont ever go back. check my story... . Liveration to All🤙🤙👍👍Be blessed.

[@ShoestringJane]

I love the idea for my daughters, who pay ridiculous rents! I think the hardest bit if you are in England particularly is finding land and our ridiculously restrictive planning laws. It’s also not just young people. Older people are struggling too. I’m 61, and if I didn’t have a partner who paid off our mortgage I would be stuffed at the moment and struggling. Great house, though. I love the idea of tiny houses in a country so short of space

Great video as usual, and inspiring content! With the economy as it is, I can see more young folk doing this, either with permission of the landowner or as part of a syndicate buying a parcel of land. It's either that, or sleeping on the streets. I thought that as it's on wheels, it's a temporary structure and allowed on private land? Could be wrong?
