Apart from the cave itself what I love is this guy did it himself without a high flying job or rich parents. He just waited until he had cash for a section. Step by step he’s grown a beautiful cool environment. One of my favourite stories.

[@gunnardblack9463]

He has such a low key CALM voice and demeanor about him. I bet he's like the easiest person to be around or hang out with. This home seems like a perfect choice for his life. Just feels like it's almost an easy minimalistic kinda life. I'm jealous of it really

[@GratefulOverlander]

It sure does

[@torstent8979]

Mhh..nahh. If you live really Independently, don't pay taxes and just eat your own food...OK. But I'm part of a society, part of problems and solutions. I want to know what the government is doing, vote, know what happens. If i'd go to work and pay taxes, but don't care what Government and NGOs do with my money, I'd give up my democratic rights and would not be able to have an opinion or make responsible decisions. Even if the parties I vote are opposition...Opposition is part of the parliament in the country I live. In my opinion to much consuming the news is poisonous and you should be able to think twice about the news and get your opinion from different sources. But just reading suspicious forums just leads to believing in weird conspiracy theories and stuff like this. ^^ The live of this guy here seems great, living truely independend just works if you are not hit by any heavy health issue or natural disaster...in that case, you better be part of society. I see the pros and cons, but can't be too romantic about that.

The gardens and livestock are an important to keep everything going on his land.

I don’t know how or even if, he does everything with just two people.

That way I would know what was involved and what it takes to make a successful venture.
