My personal opinion (not subject to anyone's comments) is this: Going "off-grid" doesn't mean relinquishing oneself to medieval times of the past. Rather it is finding a balance -- reduce carbon footprint by using natural energy sources (i.e., solar panels, hydropanels, or even water-recycle systems for plants) and other sustainable resources in the home/building structure (smaller in overall size) to power a modern life. Quite a few of these are way too far "off-grid" (wood stoves reduce forest). My model is a more balanced approach in housing as stated above.
Completely agree. We tried to find a balance. The stamp house in Australia is the ultra modern, while the woodmans eco hut is on the opposite end. Then the others are somewhere in between
You are a rare gem with a fascinating mind. It is so rare i can read/hear. This kind of thinking, thought expression and overall experience behind those above. This heals my fractured mind. Dear stranger, thank you so much for a moment of bliss for my mind. I do not remember how long it lasted or how it felt. I remember the state my body and mind after. Never stop thinking, it looks very good on you. Thank you.

Mad respect to people that could live off the grid, but I could never live outside of a city. Thanks so much for making these, they always make my day and teach me something new. number 5 Had to be my favorite It looks so gorgeous I can only imagine the wildlife you'd be meeting everyday from your window.
All are beautiful, creative and stunning! I can’t choose which stands most of these buildings because individually, it has its own designs and creativity! What a sustainable structures! I love all of these! 🌟 ♥️
From late 2020 in December, I began searching places on where I can start a new life away from world civilization. I daydream about everyday since my senior year of high school because I sometimes just want to go on my own journey, adventures, and direction and because I want to feel reconnected more to the Earth itself and make it my home. I want to live off grid because there is too much problems in our world and I just don't to be in these situations for where we have to suffer with others from ongoing taxes, wars, greed, politics, conflicts, money, electricity, power,traffic, overcrowdness, and businesses.
My late wealthy uncle bought one Sunday paper a wk. He'd remove all coupons n use n trsde w others. He'd use funnies for wrapping paper gifts securing w string. Then after reading the paper He'd wrap paper round broom handle secureing with metal
Great summary video and a good cross section of homes to choose from as far as picking a favourite!! I like the off grid cabin with the two light bulbs as my personal favourite! What was yours while researching these?
Metal coathanger so he had 52 free firelogs and hed compost the ashes and when the coathsnger became brittle he put it n the scrsp metal to sell. Good for the environment and his wallet. He had no garbage bill as he recycled all. Saving $17 per month and he always put any savings into sny principle of mortgages.
These are stunning. My favorite is number 6. But, there is an essential contradiction for the sustainable. The houses are not affordable for every class. So, if we gonna reduce carbon footprint globally how can we do it ?
