Daily Routines At My Off-Grid Tiny House In The Forest🌲 

Good afternoon Anders! We bought property with a home in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan We are creating raised beds with lots of different plants and herbs. We have planted raspberries, and blackberries and rhubarb. We also go on walks as we have hiking paths within 3 minutes away from our home! On our walks we always look for things that we can forage. We recently found a new trail with tons of apple trees! He have a lot of wild plants and herbs on our property but no trees that provide fruit or nuts. We also planted two types of grapes. Hopefully it will all survive the winter! We are putting in rain catchments on our back porch roof and on the small house. We are also wanting to implement an outdoor shower and compost toilet similar to what you have! And yesterday I was able to purchase a small wood stove from our neighbor for $10.

Admire your lifestyle and hard work!

Great video! You live a wonderful life! Thanks for taking us through sun, sea and forest. And that dog is beautiful!

It looks like a good life to me. I wish I was young again. and could do it.

The big problem with your tiny house for collecting rainwater is that is has a tiny roof, which means a small surface area for the water to drain from, compared to a standard house roof, so less water collected when it rains. My idea would be to get some pond liner and dig a large a pond hole as possible, then this large surface area will collect rainwater. It can then be a wildlife pond, but also a place for you to collect water from to water the garden. This then means you can use your rainwater collected in the barrels for other uses, shower, cleaning etc and it will last longer.

I loved seeing all the resourceful ways you use simple technology and find solutions to challenges. So very practical and efficient , working with the seasons in a thoughtful,, intelligent way.what a beautiful home and landscape, made all the more special by your four legged friend and companion.

There is always a lot to do off the grid, I agree that people living in regular houses don't even need to think about the things we need to do but this is the price we pay for choosing this life. I love living off the grid. You're doing a great job! Well done :)

It’s hard work but How refreshing to swim and enjoy the private beach area! I live in a tiny house as well, with no running water. A well nearby and I collect rainwater also. It’s a regular blessing!

Äntligen en ny film. Jag älskar det lugna i dina filmer

I’d love to be out there with you what a beautiful place to live

Thank you for sharing your life. It so nice to see young people that are not lazy like you. Kudos to your parents for raising you the way you are. God Bless you.

Kỹ thuật trồng cây của bạn rất tốt ,cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ cách trồng và chăm sóc cây với mọi người 🌱👍.

I could watch you for hours honestly. I love this kind of hard work. you work for yourself and not for some greedy old boss.

Hej Anders Jeg tænker selv i baner om at bo på samme måde som dig, men har du en video eller andet hvor du forklarer, hvordan det fungerer med tilladelse fra kommune osv.? Og evt. ting man skal være obs på?

Anders have you considered having goats or rabbits for food and dairy?

you live in a forest AND near a beach?? dude you're so lucky. you're right, off grid living is all about systems and planning ahead, and being mindful of your resources so you don't run out of water or fuel or solar... videos like these really inspire me to also start a homestead of my own. I'm so excited! ❤

Excellent video... You're livin' the dream. Maybe one day I'll be able to do the same. I also think that being busy and working or creating something is the best way to live. Hugs ❤

Tie 4 pallets together. Dump a little dirt in there and use that to dump your compost potty and yard waste. It takes a long time to fill up. I'm still filling mine after a few years. It will compost through the winter and be rich soil for the garden. I also just throw leaves or whatever in my potty. No bags. No smell.

Very interesting but I wonder what you will do when/if you cannot get on the roof anymore? Is there an alternative method you already have in mind for sustainability in the future?

❤❤สวัสดี.ค่ะคุณใช้ชีวิตแบบเศษกิจพอเพียงและเรียบง่ายมากนะคะ.

Yes and yes. My friend this is the only way forward. When life looks dark and full of terrors I am with you. I have seen it and I k ow. I love you so much keep going and creating my dream world where I don’t have the courage. You are the light. ❤

Nice to see you back! Just a suggestion, watering the garden is best after sunset so the soil doesn't dry out and the water doesn't evaporate in the heat.

Why you don't have animals?

Your dog is so proud of you just as I am ❤❤

Wonderful video. Brought a smile to my face. You're living well.

Hi. Where do u pee? Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱😊

You’ve created a beautiful place, well done and enjoy 👍

I love your videos! So many ideas! We live with woods all around us and I have a real hard time dealing with mosquitos. Do you have them and how do you deal with them?

Thank you for your video, it's beautiful and I really appreciate your editing !👌

Hi,I really like your channel. I saw your composting toilet which works and I understand the plastic bags are biodegradable,so that's good. I just use a bucket and sawdust,no plastic bag,I then tip that into a large greenwaste bin,that took around two to three years to fill up,you let it sit for another 12 months and use a second greenwaste bin or do as I have and made a composting bin out of old pelets,I recently emptied my greenwaste bin and it is already composted but I will compost it for another year in my pallet compost station. So if you want to save money you can build a cubic metre pellet compost box for free. Totally up to you,what your doing is working,it would be Interesting to see if the plastic bags are totally broken down and gone after two years 👍

Brilliant video dude. Thanks for sharing. Keep doing what you’re doing man. You’re living your best life. Make hay whilst the sun shines. Looking forward to your next video.

Thank you for all of your wonderful videos. You are a big inspiration for me! I’m dreaming about living off grid in Sweden where I live, and are slowly making plans of my dream. My biggest concern right now is how I can have fresh drinking water all year around from rainwater. I would love a video that goes more into detail about how your rainwater system works and how you built it. Thank you 🙏

I love your place and your videos ...wont be long many folks are gonna wish they had a place off grid we have a farm .but I have been looking behind our home into the woods and would love to buy me one of those sheds or mini barn to start my own secrect hideaway or she shed😊..All my life I have loved sleeping outside and camping...sometimes I go pile up on some crocker sacks..under the pole barn to look up ..into the stars...wake up the next morning...😊.I use a battery leaf blower to blow debree off my roof...thanks for sharing 💞God Bless

Great video, we will go back to the beginning and watch from the start. Many thanks, lovely to watch over breakfast.

Yes my friend. Maintain. You are so likable. I love you with all my heart. Keep going. God needs you to fulfill his dream. ❤ yes. Yes. I want to be reborn as your son. Always and forever yours. Thank you for this example of life

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a hole on the ground and go number 2 in it, covering it afterwards (when there's no rain, of course)? It would save bags and time.... that's how our ancestors did it, for millenia

People sweep their roof??? I’ve gotta step up my cleaning game lol

Meget nænsomt kreeret video. Man bliver jo nærmest bare rolig indeni af at se den

Looks peaceful :) But a leaf blower would make the job of cleaning the roof and gutters a lot faster and easier. You might want to get one

Is it true that nowadays the wildlife only doesn't destroy your garden if you have a very good fence around it?

My brother from another mother you are doing the right thing 👏 🎉

I actually enjoy doing all those tasks, as long as I am in nature I am happy.

ah yes Where are the primitive building guys?. must be off camera..

Hard work or not, you are living the life. Love your videos.

Pray for mote water and our generous God will supply. You only need to ask❤

Hey, what country is this in?

Sangat bermanpa,at terima kasih🙏

I watch your wonderful videos from Myrtle Beach, SC in the USA. I find it all very relaxing. I absolutely love your dog and it’s wonderful to see the love you have for each other. Keep up the fantastic work.

Fed Video 👍 tak for at du delte dine oplevelser

Feliz por mais um video e principalmente com legendas tradução. Grata querido. Sigo me inspirando em vc. Minha construção iniciará em novembro 24. Me deseje sorte 😂😅 abraço ❤❤

Det er ren meditation at se dine videoer 🥰🙏

Hej Anders. Fedt sted. Mange områder er registretret som beskyttet natur også selvom det er sommerhusområder. Jeg ved ikke om dit sted er beskyttet, men mange steder er det vel problematisk at etablere køkkenhave og holde høns?

Hi love from India odisha ❤

We live off grid in the high desert. One way to save quite a bit of water is to be mindful of the size and capacity of the water spouts you have in use. For example. that green watering can in the video has a HUGE spout, looks as big as a garden hose and will erode the soil when you water. A can with a smaller spout will waste less water and spread it further. Also look at faucets, shower heads, and toilets around the house... some are effiecient bust most are very wasteful and provide way more throughput than is needed for offgrid life. We were able to reduce our water usage by more than 50% by changing them out. - something to consider.... :)

Tiny Living At Gods Mercy. Its all Love, but still, worship the Lord your God. :)

Your dog is beautiful; how to spell his/ her name

I wish I was there with you my dream man amazing place you're living..❤

とても素敵な生活ですね 夏でも涼しそう こっち家の中34度あるう😂

Where do you get your drinking water?

What a lovely video. Thank you! Enjoyed it lots.

Hvorfor er der ikke danske undertekster på

You are living an awesome 👍 and Blessed 🧬 life .

Proud of your beautiful tiny house.

Great video 😊

Can you afford to put in a well on your property? Do you have a creek on the property? Can you bring in water yourself or have someone bring in water for you?

Love the swim at the lake the dog❤

What a lovely video thank you enjoyed it

I look forward to your videos. This one did not disappoint. ❤ How hot does it get there? What do you do to stay cool?

Wonderful life ❤❤❤

People sweep their

Doesnt those bio-bags contain some amount of plastics anyway? That will turn into micropieces?

It's nice to see Mr. Beast finally got some much needed alone time

What is your intention of creating RU-vid videos??

I like your dog 😊

Any ticks where you live
