Living Off the Grid in Paradise 

JamPixD how long did you have to take off work / school?

and you lived to tell. Remarkable.

Skills right there.

One time I woke up at 6:00 am.

JamPixD was it awful?

I love it too. There's one guy on this channel that makes supercars from old car parts. His car was even featured in suicide squad.

Pureeey

same, dude. great content

youve never tried for a month, so how can you say, its nothing forever?

Pureeey seems like something i would think about pay money to go be there for a few mins walk back and fly home

No shit...

He probably saved a lot of money living out there instead of in a house near a big city.

Could be a tour guide or D.O.C ranger for a living.

And summoning helicopter...

rawdog42 spend money to save money

right how the hell did he get all this money

if u gonna live of the grid 1st thing to have is a chainsaw, and a gun or a bolo knife

Waah

Wow its almost as if he saved up money before commiting to this lifestyle.

Keith Sheffield wow you deleted your reply

Just because you said mate don’t mean ur from new zealand

And a lot of us Kiwi's take it for granted. But please come visit! One of our biggest industries is tourism and it's a great country for it.

Kobe Robertson nothing deep about his comment i envy the freedom this guy has

@Kobe Robertson Haha I agree, although what is life to you, or to I? It's something so precious to some, but to others it's just there, nothing. Why live a life of serving others, eating junk food and having unlimited entertainment, when you can live off the land, spend your entire day outside appreciating nature, and experiencing everything our ancestors have. I dont believe in any of that, remember that time where, before you were born, that pure darkness and unmoving feeling of relaxation, the feeling of not being aware, I'm sure its comparative to death itself, which is glory. I believe death will be true freedom in itself, no longer shackled by petty things such as work, food, thirst, sanity. Take a larger look outside, and think, "Is this real?" There is no such thing as living with pure FREEDOM, I laugh whenever kids or uneducated adults/teens think their free because they live remotely, far away from natural civilization, clouded with the thought of technology is shackles, when truth be told, the shackles are life itself. Pain will forever be with you, you're only a slave to your desires, such a pathetic life for such a creature, truly a misery beyond comparison I believe..

Stop envying..... get out there!! GET out in our beautiful 🌎✌😎

@Kobe Robertson notice how no one agrees with you? Haha you tool bag. NO ONE AGREES WITH THE IDIOT.

Im from the philippines, life in here revolves around money. For me, the true purpose of life is subjective. To my perspective, it is the true purpose of life and it may differ from your perspective. If you disagree or agree with me , i dont care. Thats your opinion, and everyone can stand to their opinions. Im not making it deep, im just contemplating of "what ifs" that i should have done in my life. And i truly envy them.

@blue copper how could 30k buy you quads, solar panels, land, house, equipment, supplies, and a freaking heli

@blue copper hahahah couple too many?

Wealthy? Those people aren’t wealthy.

@@leeolsson5271 huge land, nice houses with electricity, generators, and fuel. Equipment, gear, maintenance on vehicles. They can call a heli to fly them around. Yah these guys have no money /s

@@tymur2044 bruh the electricity is free they have solar panels.

Sounds like you could have some pretty awesome camping trips! Could try to show your kids your passion for the wilds? I know I love to hear anyone be passionate, especially when it's family. Just make sure to focus on showing them what you love, not just enjoying it for yourself! (though nothing wrong with a break back to your basics once in awhile)

You can teach a modern kid to live in nature and there are a bunch of modern families who live off grid. It’s all about passion towards nature and environment, if they don’t have it they won’t like living off grid. Also im sure you still have time to change your life style.

And the money

Not rly... He still needs to work... Imagine that... You need to drive to your job/whatever place you shop at for 2-3 hours... At first it's all good.... But then, what?

Josh... You're stupid

@@andrius505 dont be rude to josh

@@andrius505 I think you mean... *You* are stupid

Slim Jim oh fuck. That’s the best shit I’ve heard. Like Jesus H. Christ that is some good shit. Holy fuck how the hell do people not know about that comeback. That shit will send someone to their grave. Thank god I saw this. You are gifted my child. Oh my god! Gifted!

As long as your avoid the cities, I completely agree with you. Especially down on our south island, gorgeous scenery and clean air. Come visit once the pandemic is over! You won't regret it :)

@@Asiliea avoid cities? No you have to see Wellington and Auckland harbours, and CBDs.

I plan to migrate to NZ when I'm older, although I know it cost shit ton of money

Yeah here in NZ the scenery is beautiful but the people here are also really warm and welcoming.

@@nickplosiveli4927 not at South Auckland 💀

the first one!

BEAUTIFUL country beautiful people canada loves ya!

Hahahaha

Well someone did tell him they were going to shoot a youtube video of him.

@从 Deadpoppin 从 He’s not talking about Corona?....

@从 Deadpoppin 从 wtf...?

@从 Deadpoppin 从 i was confused, you seem so angry lol

@「 Deadpoppin 」 imagine just assuming you know everything about everyone you come across on the internet. Who tf said corona except you? You making fun of yourself?

Lmfao

you should have just texted him some greeting :D

Sure u did

If you had his number I doubt you would greet him in a RU-vid comments section

@@42akasha ok, I will.

It's New Zealand you clowns... it's not unreal for him to have his number written down after sharing a quick beer.

You are lucky to born in new Zealand

Most beautiful country in the world bar none. 💗 from England.

My wife and I live in the US and she also works in NZ. She loves it there and it's beautiful in some areas for sure, but in many ways we prefer the US. It's good to be able to split time between both.

@@ninjaturtles3043 It's no perfect paradise. Not by a long shot. We're still living in a bunch of tiny isolated islands between two tectonic plates. It is pretty beautiful outside of the cities, the air is clear, and the wildlife are mostly friendly and gorgeous. But it can still be a bit of a backwater, have some of the highest domestic violence and teen pregnancy rates in the world, and every human has the capability of being a complete prick. But yeah, it's a pretty nice place to live. _Especially_ during this pandemic!

God wrote his lines. God does it all for his own pleasure.

FS10 can people stop "deserve more subs more views" it's annoying after awhile. but I agree

Duh Sushi fuck off with that negativity.

stay gold kudos to u my good sir . I see u are spreading the same negativity

I agree with You. Those who are interested will find their way here.

I think its cool that its low key....At least for now.

psh this is creative mode at best.

@@drakoinx guy really just did /gamemode 2

antonyjh1234 it's true

Go for it bud. Living off-the-grid is the most beautiful lifestyle. No stress. Just you and the nature. I wish you good luck. I also wanna live off-the-grid. Probably in Canada. Such a lifestyle is very expensive tho :>

@yugen dran Water and electricity absolutely isn't free. All resources aren't free. You just either pay for them with representative effort by spending money or real effort by building infrastructure... Which also takes some money as well for the carefully crafted materials and components. In these terms, everything about living off the grid is _insanely_ expensive, astronomically more than modern living, even just for day-to-day stuff.

Same

Thomas _nl_ see you

I'm with you guys

ditto

Absolutely! Let's all go! If enough of us do it we can band together, maybe build some roads, a store, maybe a McDonalds and a Starbucks? Is there enough coal there for a power plant, or should we go nuclear?

Sam Kirb Not everywhere is like that here xD we have towns and stuff two you know

no i know lol u guys arent just uncivilized landscape, its just that i believe new zealand is the most beautiful place on the earth

Except convicted felons should not have access to a gun, as 77% of prisoners reoffended within 5 years, according to the American BJS.

That is all well and good... but what happened to your original post, eh? But, yes, I should have elaborated on my comment as I understand in some rural areas of your country a gun can be essential, and the laws pertaining to gun ownership should relate to the crime committed.

Why would you need a gun in New Zealand? there are literally no dangerous animals and there are so few gun homicides you can count the amount nationwide on 2 hands on a bad year. Fair enough if you, like this video, need one to hunt but the only other reason to have one is because you're a scared little boy.

his life is just as repetitive, its human nature to be. Trust me after a year of living there youd get tired of the same old stuff. But I get your point, the city fucking sucks.

Has to be said again boooo

It means off the power grid dumbass so yes he’s very much off the grid.

😂so he uses items made by on grid companies.. camera plane boats etc etc and then takes them to a remote place and says i live off grid now😂what does he use as fuel!!! Pebbles off the beach . Don't be so stupid 😂

Has to be said again Can we just agree that he’s living alone away from society and providing for himself off the land his entertainment and food. Yeah he has some technology and tools, but he’s basically isolated out there and away from everyone (for the most part). Right now he’s probably sipping some coffee cooking fish for breakfast.

@@josevillanueva7601 ok since you put it so elegantly.. he's off grid👍😂

If I go to Fiordland in New Zealand il be sure to kidnap a local! Thanks

New Zealand beach Forrest doesn't grow past a certain extent :)

CCart I didn’t say they did ;)

livingwhile meditating you scenes wrong stick to using your brain!

Ya maybe someone should have their home as an Airbnb

ide love to be there for life

Yeah? And fuck it up?

i could

Sad.

Only sad for people who think the internet is only useful for Facebook, Instagram etcetera.

You wouldnt have time for internet with all you have to do and want to do there :)

@@zachburnett2433 sad is that youre saying sad but if u were given the opportunity to move somewhere else without internet you 100% say no.

You cannot enjoy all of this with an internet

U dont need a gym tho do sone fucking calistenics

@@c00lmanable you need to shower that's why fucking dirty ass

Thanos Killer Ah yes, the gym, where you go to shower and only shower /s

Murica, land of the stupid

what's the logic behind it? i mean what reason did they give you for that?

@@42akasha We're essentially forced to pay bills, America is run by corporations. And... sheeple's putting money in the hands of the corporation is what runs the American economy, that and a whole lot of debt. God bless capitalism.

@Steve Arthur lol yup, especially where I live here in South Florida. A few years ago it made local news a homeowner was arrested for installing solar panels to his roof and cutting off his connection to the grid. He was jailed and fined, likewise with another man for catching rain water and filtering it. You can even get arrested for feeding homeless ppl. Land of the sheep's & Home of the slaves

I live in America, Alaska for the last 22 years, before that Wyoming, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Your experience is isolated if true. I've never heard of that rainwater or solar panel crap. Sounds like a city ordinance. Not state law. Move to Alaska. We pretty much do what we want within reason. Nobody gives two shits if you have solar panels or collect rainwater. Same goes in the other states I listed. America is the land of the free. Govt hasnt taken my guns yet.

off grid refers only to the grid of services it does not mean you live in the stone age.

@@igotthatgoinforme9182 exactly

@@87atxskater hahahhahahahhaa

@@igotthatgoinforme9182 c'mon..... It's a bit misleading don't you think? I mean I could be "off grid" on the moon.

@@broms316 no it makes sense because a grid is a common term used by city planners because a grid system is the most efficient way to maintain water pressures, sewage flow, roads, etc. Most rural homes in america are almost off grid housing. The electrical grid is the last thing that connects most rural homes. A fully on the grid home really only applies to urban areas. Rural homes generally run septic for waste, wells for water, propane tanks if any gas at all, and are generally built in ways to reduce the need to heat or cool the home with electricity or gas. Which makes them mostly off the grid. Technicality yes anyone in space would be off the grid because they would have to generate power, take care of their waste, etc. The only thing they cannot do is grow food unless they are Matt Damon.

TINO dont think so , but at this point would you need internet?

Yeah, if you need internet out there, then you shouldn't be there in the first place.

RKS N1S Official i would

How do you Think the guy upload it duuuhhh

Legit question... unlike a responder who assumed that the person in this 'story' uploaded the video himself.

I went to NZ last November, best decision I've done, most beautiful place I've seen, both irl and online.

Taydiablo3 delete it all and go outside

If people truely think Fiordland is a hell hole, that makes me a bit sad

People Pay To Stay With Him

rich boi

Nothing is stopping you from saving your money up for a while but you...eat cheap shit, live in a tent somewhere near your work, shower and shave in a bathroom and stack up some money.

He's not rich.

The initial cost would be high.. But the day to day cost would be cheaper

The land is free

I’d say the house would only be like 70k

Either he is so rich or have sponsor. He can afford so many advanced equipments including able to summon a helicopter.

All that costs money

That’s not how rich people live.

you dont have to be rich to live like this in NZ, a quad bike costs less then a car, choppers fly into these places all the time for loads of reasons, and usually do more then one thing for more then one person while they are there,

He’s just pretending to live a humble life because he just have enough fuck you money to fall back on.

But not die from poisoning!

except into the wild he actually lived off the land and didnt have helicopters, planes, boats, and a nice ass home to live in lmao its absolutely NOTHING like into the wild

@@joefitzgerald2762 bruh

Yeah, to run all his "necessary" toys.

They send Morse code signal through the mountains to a person then that person orders shipping then the other person summons merriweather pickup chopper because it can't find your location there then it brings the package

He might be working for DOC department of conservation.

he works as a guide to pay for petrol. He catches most of his food.

Pro_gaming_god they could have mentioned that, at least..if that's the case..even for a very short video they unnecessarily left the basic details out.

moon elf I guess you didn't get things your way

Did he say he didn't have a job?

U actually just made that up, that could possibly not even close to what he's doing lmao

You really are sadgasm aren't you

Hey, I lived in a 48 square meter apartment for many years down here in NZ too. Not everything's bush out here! But there are definitely some nice spots if you're the type to travel and see the sights. I'm sure there are some wonderful places near you as well. Just go looking!

I'd say the same for most of America. People tend to underestimate how much open space there is in NA.

Texas is not Nee Zealand, friend!

RaygunRonnie I don’t exactly get that vibe from this video. That guy was mostly going on about living off the land.
