True. 3 weeks isn't much of a trial period, but they do seem to have planned pretty well. I appreciate that all the information that I wanted about the house, I got before they even walked in though!
Looks good guys! Only thing I might suggest is a porch over that glass front door and windows if they are on the sunny side to avoid overheating the house requiring air conditioning. A solarium porch would be nice and you might consider a solar composting toilet if people are building this in colder climates. Keep up the good work.
This is the first bio-gas set up I have seen being used in a tiny house. Bravo! I have seen very simple gobar tanks used in India and Pakistan, which use cow manure to create gas for household cooking. So simple, and a wonderfully renewable option.
yes I know. I've seen gobar tanks supplying cooking gas in very small villages. Very small simple set ups. So it makes me smile as companies in the US/Australia/Europe now charge a lot to provide this "technology " (Edited to remove your user name...which is highly offensive)
Love it. 😂😂😂 when bryce asked about the extra length added to the house & weight of the tiny house and the guy says yer I dunno? And bursts out in laughter. 😂😂😂 hilarious.
Considering Byron area only gets down to about 12°C to 18°C in Winter I doubt there will be many problems in heating the home, yea it might be chilly if the batteries are flat but I don't think it's life threatening, just more blankets required :D
Bryce, you should definitely do a follow-up interview with them. it would be interesting to watch their growth after a year of settling in. I'm curious how all their systems like the biogas digester would hold up. Also, are they renting the land they are parked on? or they bought a piece of it? it was just mentioned that it was their friend's.
Anneska Kirideska if they can pull $60k out of their ass to build a tiny house, then they certainly have money connections. So the land is sort of a non-issue. Btw you won't be able to park on that land because you are too poor. The reason I know you are too poor is cause you are asking. If you were rich you'd already know.
Chris sounds like an asshole. As for the land, I doubt they purchased it as Byron is super expensive. Very likely that they are tossing a farm owner $100/wk to be parked there.
Chris is a jerk. We are tiny housing and we bought our land after renting another parcel for a while. Renting was 500, our land mortgage is 680. Its awesome but takes a lot of prep work to understand everything.
Love everything about this couple's home and lifestyle. They should start workshops online so other people can learn to do as they have. Our planet would be so much happier!
Couch is on the end of the house with three walls surrounding it. There is no need for couch there. Just a plywood plate, mattress and some pillows. That way it could have been even a quest bed too. And an additional space for storage under it too.
I love the home biogas movement! So many times I see people say off grid like it's good for the environment when their cooking & heating is on propane, which is a fossil fuel. Using home methane is better because it's part of the current carbon cycle instead of introducing carbon from outside the cycle & then burning it! I love their whole set up!
Chris Reynolds I do wish there were more research into eco friendly batteries! I do favor systems that at least have fewer batteries, like manually generated electricity instead of solar...
Chris Reynolds Yes, it’s quite a shame, isn’t it? But hopefully better batteries will be created soon because time is running out quicker than we think we have.
Such a cool house! I love how people get creative when it comes to using renewable forms of energy. I've been looking forward to build something like that in the new Sims pack
A propaganda policy by the globalist. A free carbon footprint? Hypocrisy at its best. I don't have a problem with people living off grid, infact i admire them but these people are promoting propaganda. As a matter of fact the waste of solar panels are worst than nuclear waste, they don't have a half life. The waste of storage units are massive, will become an ultimate death wish if 7 billions people start using it. Stop promoting it as the best source of energy but promote it as an alternative. Solar efficiency is not even 20% yet.
Well these two seem to be having a good time. Great they mentioned Lucy's build because that's a favorite of mine as well. They clearly like their creature comforts, and so have attempted to cover as many eventualities as possible, which I'm blown away by because they've done it at a great price. Colour me impressed. This is great.
I was expecting another boring off grid video with same old same old but you both have some amazing technology. the bio gas generator is amazing. great work.
Fantastic house, I love the fact that you’ve gone completely off grid with gas, water and electricity...everything has be achieved with excellent thought and planning. Thankyou for sharing your home.
It's my dream come true to live totally off grid like these people, and to be totally in sync with each other having a true life partner, growing your own food. Working from home online or possibly selling in the nearby towns. It would require lots of research not just on living with nature and the land, but also having a good knowledge of holistic medicines some medical knowledge...In love with living and also with each other. The Best life can be in my book... Beautiful...
Awesome show. I found myself watching so many episodes back to back, just fascinated with the houses, the stories, and the amazing drive, passion and ingenuity of the tiny house owners. Keep up the great work in highlighting the many unique tiny houses and their owners!
Nice home, please revisit after a year or two and see how all the off the grid energy worked through different conditions. I would like an off grid home and would use their energy-efficient systems they chose as models. Thanks, Bryce for your home research.
A lot of neat ideas for a lovely tiny house especially your resourcefulness with methane gas for cooking and not forgetting the bathroom sink a SALAD BOWL Wow!! All the best and thank you for sharing. 😊
Hopefully this tiny house still stands after the 2019/20 disaster that hit Australia... because if it's in any way possible i would LOVE to see how these people feel about their home now. Almost 2y in the going... still together? still living in the Tiny? how did their systems hold up? scaled up or down? ...etc and so on... also 65K is amazing !
They did an awesome job. What talent. They're not carpenters but you would never know it. Every nook and cranny space was used. Their house is a living and breathing house. Love it!
Kudos on the diversification of energy generators (solar, biogas). One more passive way to control interior temps (especially during summer) would be to incorporate underground cooling tubes. So awesome that they did this and all at a great price. Cheers from California. :)
HOW About the LAWS starting to go against people living in TINY HOUSES? The population should reassemble together and create by thousands, tiny houses in just one single area, creating a new town of more humble people but courageous, with a new way of life with clean, non-polluting principles and be an example to being followed for the rest of the world and have the media backing this up.
Here in Rapid City SD we have a city block filling up wit tiny houses, Either the city or a church is building them, for people who are desperate for a place to live.!
People do already do this, just not a lot. Sometimes all it takes is for one person to buy some land to start a community like this. You could fit many tiny houses, cabins, even tents and teepees on about 5 acres and still have space between each other and plenty of nature to look at. So long as there isn't too many people you can even live with the animals after they get used to you being there.
You know most people that live in the country don't want a bunch of social justice virtue signaling assholes move it to the connection stay in the city amongst your own kind
Why would anyone give a thumbs down to this video? Just asking. Feel free to explain your rationale if you did. Great video, and very inspiring tiny house. I envy their lifestyle!
Vane Fal That is no way to live, afraid of everything. You are far more likely to be attacked by (eyeroll) a biker gang in a more frequented area, closer to their favorite bars. I suspect this couple have a car and even (gasp) communication devices in case of emergencies. I was married for around forty years and never had an argument that involved one of us walking out. YMMV, of course, so maybe you should live on a bus line.
Vane, this area (which I live in) is one of Australia's most desirable, safe (and now expensive). The opposite of bikie territory. Lots of spiritual or off-grid communes, next to multi-millionaires next to regular working people. Surrounded by villages with cafes etc. You are at risk of snake bites, yes but there are two hospitals within easy reach of that property and many medical centres. So many people have moved here now (for me) it's become not isolated enough! They are clearly a happy couple with a great set up. Thumbs up!
@Farooq Tajammal Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharrafhas admitted that Pakistan supported and trained terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in 1990s to carry out militancy in Kashmir. From 1979 Pakistan was in favour of religious militancy. "The Kashmiri freedom fighters including Hafiz Saeed and Lakhvi were our heroes at that time. We trained Taliban and sent them to fight against Soviet Union. Taliban, Haqqani, Osama Bin Laden and Zawahiri were our heroes then (during the Soviet-Afghan war). Pakistan was also alleged to be responsible for the evacuation of about 5000 of the top leadership of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda who were encircled by Nato forces in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. This event known as the Kunduz airlift, which is also popularly called the "Airlift of Evil", involved several Pakistani Air Force transport planes flying multiple sorties over a number of days. The militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is widely blamed for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. The US has put a $10m bounty for its founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed. Saeed now heads the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) group, widely seen as a front for LeT. LeT was banned by Pakistan in 2002 after it allegedly carried out an attack on the Indian parliament. JuD is currently banned by the US, the EU, India and Russia as a terrorist organisation. In June 2014, Washington declared JuD an LeT affiliate and announced head money for JuD's political wing chief and Saeed's brother-in-law Abdur Rahman Makki. Zaki ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba and allegedly the planner of 2008 Mumbai attacks was released in Pakistan which caused condemnations in India. Few of many reasons why I get amazed when Pakistan talks of peace.
Hi Bryce - I wish the camera had been on you and your expression when you asked them what the thought process was for building it so long and he said "I dunno"! LOL!!!!! Awesome not so tiny home - it has everything. Beautiful couple. Thanks Bryce, take care my friend. ;)
Charles H isn’t it refreshing though?! Cos everyone is usually so prepared & planned with their answers that it’s nice to hear something like that! So natural - a lovely couple! 😄
That literally everything is off grid and renewable. I would love to see a follow up with them after a full year, to see if they had any difficulties with their systems during the seasons.
The autarky they aimed at was my personal favourite. Three weeks isn't yet long enough to know whether their autarky really holds up, but I'd be very interested in what they learn over a period of a year or two: different cooking tops, own mini biogas production, quite some water storage (but probably not enough to garden through a draught), a Greek style solar water heater to even run the washing machine off ... they would be a case for a follow-up for sure. Oh, and the cost comparison to Sidney renting was telling!
Andy Vegan Come to Bulgaria! Houses run about 2, 500 the cheapest in the mountains to date. You can be my neighbor ! I will teach you everything there is to know about all foods you can eat for free in the summer and fall!
I Absolutely Love Everything you've done, from the footprint, to the location, the gardens, and the total Off-Grid self sustaining life you've made for yourselves! Should i ever hit the lottery, i know just who to look up! *AWESOME JOB!*
they got divorced, she's now living with some banker who drives a V12 AMG mercedes, he still lives in his tiny house, there was a strong wind so it got badly damaged, half of the cells dont work, some issues with inverter
Hola me gusta mucho su hermosa casa ecologica, Practica y con todas las comodidades, con una combinacion de colores muy acertada y luminosa dandole un hermoso contraste. Gracias por dejarnos verla. Walter - Ushuaia - T.D.F - Argentina
It would be nice to know what the people you interview do for a living. I mean, to get away from the city into a distant place, you must work at home, or something of the like. Great video, as always!
The98 RG - OR .. possibly worked very hard, made enough cash to pay for the build & got so pissed off with paying bills that they’ve opted for a self sustainable lifestyle instead ?!
The98 RG For people like me ? I worked in the US 23 years with mom! We live on her SS payments! Once that runs out, the only payment I will have is my property bill of 25 dollars a year. I will pay that by selling a goat or a few rabbits. The rest ? I gather wood and grass for the rabbits and goats,. Walnuts, berries , and hazlenuts along with a few edible plants/ mushrooms are dried and stored! They grow free all summer and harvested in the fall. A mini homestead is all you need. You dont need a job if you are smart and talented!If you want to work, there are fields you go to all summer and collect roses , berries or mushrooms. They pay daily and some provide free shelter for the summer.
I love it!!!! I am seeking to do basically the same thing, but I am waiting on a few minor things before I can accomplish my goal!!! Only my tiny house will be a permanent build! But I fully intend on using solar heat for my water, and using rain catchment for my supply. I am going to do a biogas system, plus solar and wind power!!!! And of course have my own garden!!! I have as I am right now in the city on two lots doing what I can!!! I have two hazel nut trees, & one each a pear, peach, plum & mulberry tree!! I have 3 grape vines, two blackberry, two raspberry and one fig bush!! And I am fixing to plant my spring/summer garden!!! I raise muscovy ducks and chickens, both of which I butcher, leaving mostly hens and with a drake or two and a rooster or two, so I can or they can continue the flock!!! I can hardly wait to get some land in the country and get it done where I will be most content!!!!!
Sounds like an exciting project. I’ve put a small cabin on 8 acres which is close to complete now. I installed a 500 watt 24v solar power system which can take another 500w of panels if I need. 10500 lt rain tank, a septic system. I’m looking at getting LP gas stove and heater as well. The idea of bio gas seems interesting, I’ll have to do some research on that. Good luck with your project. It’s a good feeling you don’t have to let a big corporation make profit from you for your basic needs.
Billie Taylor Awe, Thank you!! I need to get me a good camera, so I can start posting videos of at least what I do now! Hopefully I can do in next month so I can start posting!!! I will let you know when I do if u would like!!! Oh yeah..., My sister's name is Billie also...lol!!! Such a small world!!!
Aaron Heaney Thank you and Wow!!! I agree with all you said! I am going to look into biogas as well!!! Have you considered putting an a rocket stove maybe? Especially for heat and while u have it fired up you could save on gas for cooking by setting the stove up like an oven and even cooking surface!!! Just my thoughts! I want one in mine and I am going to build an outside one for summer cooking or regular cooking anytime! Going to do one where I am and then when I move do another!!! I love this kind of stuff, creating with your hands, having the finished project to help your happiness and contentment and de-stressing all of one's life!!
The Ducking Homestead and Gardens wow that's would be so awesome to see your progress. Lol I smiled to hear that your sister and I share the same name it's a gift and a curse (thanks to MJ) people jump in my face all the time singing Billie Jean. But I hope you do do some posting. We are hoping to atleast buy a home for us and our 3 kids hopefully God hears us both and answers those prayers to achieve our goals.
A tiny house like this would not work for our family (wife + 4 children), but I love watching tiny house videos because it always impresses me the way they utilize space. I feel like traditional homes waste tons of space. For example tiny houses often turn the stairs into storage spaces, have foldaway tables, etc. I even saw one where the bed was on a garage door opener and track and was lowered for sleeping, but then raised up to the ceiling during the day. Why doesn't anyone do this kind of stuff in permanent houses? I think it would be cool to build a permanent small/medium house but use a lot of the same space-saving and off-grid techniques. You could make a 1000 sq foot house feel much larger.
I admire people have a mind for sustainable, off-grid living that is also portable. I noticed there's a trailer hitch there. So, it's great you can move where you wish. I aim to build my own 2kw array but for now I have two small arrays in my bedroom windows for charging many devices and powering several wifi controlled room lights and a digital clock and aircon. This family are inspiring. It's great.
Here is how one describes summer and winter in Australia....the one is fucking hot and the other is slightly less fucking hot....solar etc works all year.
Leaf Green Go do your research. They do not have our winters in Europe or America. Their climate veries little from spring to winter! Do your research. They get enough sun to power these babies 365 days per year!
Yes...leech on your friends grid(property) and then call yourself off-grid....brilliant. So living in my mom's basement all my life is off-grid, right?
Their silliness, laughter and happy-go-lucky nature made me smile 😊
Would love to see a one or two year update on their setup. And the pros they found and cons they overcame during the seasons.
xThehumanoidx yes definitely
True. 3 weeks isn't much of a trial period, but they do seem to have planned pretty well. I appreciate that all the information that I wanted about the house, I got before they even walked in though!
Absolutely !
Instagram. @livingtinyandgreen
They did.
watch?v=ZJ7ZihueEe0
Bryce: " I love this... beautiful little basin..." Annette: "It's just a salad bowl...from the supermarket.." lol
What more do you need. I love the couple, I wish them a fantastic life.
Looks good guys! Only thing I might suggest is a porch over that glass front door and windows if they are on the sunny side to avoid overheating the house requiring air conditioning. A solarium porch would be nice and you might consider a solar composting toilet if people are building this in colder climates. Keep up the good work.
I love those ideas, thank you for sharing - here's to making great things even greater!
Great choice of having the 2 different cooktops gas/electric and using the most appropriate one depending on time. Very smart!
What a beautiful couple! They are doing everything you can dream of in a tiny house. I wish them the best. Thank you, Bryce! Good job like always
This is the first bio-gas set up I have seen being used in a tiny house. Bravo!
I have seen very simple gobar tanks used in India and Pakistan, which use cow manure to create gas for household cooking. So simple, and a wonderfully renewable option.

Cooking with Cow Farts.
Love it. 😂😂😂 when bryce asked about the extra length added to the house & weight of the tiny house and the guy says yer I dunno? And bursts out in laughter. 😂😂😂 hilarious.
Please update us after winter or ONE YEAR Cycle how everything goes. Perfect. Also i'm interesting how heating will be managed trough the winter.
Considering Byron area only gets down to about 12°C to 18°C in Winter I doubt there will be many problems in heating the home, yea it might be chilly if the batteries are flat but I don't think it's life threatening, just more blankets required :D
funny enough, Bryce actually did revisit this home for us. Love this youtube channel
Does the house stills exist after the wildfires!
This couple really has got it together we really like their tiny home really enjoyed this video thanks Bryce for sharing
I love how simple the design is with the white and wood
Bryce, you should definitely do a follow-up interview with them. it would be interesting to watch their growth after a year of settling in.

Chris is a jerk. We are tiny housing and we bought our land after renting another parcel for a while. Renting was 500, our land mortgage is 680. Its awesome but takes a lot of prep work to understand everything.
They should add a front porch with shade over head. It would add a lot of living space.
If you check out the link posted above they did add one and have an umbrella.
Love everything about this couple's home and lifestyle. They should start workshops online so other people can learn to do as they have. Our planet would be so much happier!
I was really impressed with the preparation for batteries, water, storage etc. Love you channel!
After watching this video, I think they could definitely have built their own couch. They are quiet talented
Couch is on the end of the house with three walls surrounding it. There is no need for couch there. Just a plywood plate, mattress and some pillows. That way it could have been even a quest bed too. And an additional space for storage under it too.

Lainey Bug they do have a shittone of batteries though. Not exactly carbon neutral.
Lainey Bug THEIR IS NOTHING WRONG WITH FOSSIL FUELS I DON'T BELIEVE ALL THAT BLABBERING, BUT IF YOU CAN DO IT LIKE THIS WHY NOT!!!
Chris Reynolds I do wish there were more research into eco friendly batteries! I do favor systems that at least have fewer batteries, like manually generated electricity instead of solar...
Chris Reynolds Yes, it’s quite a shame, isn’t it? But hopefully better batteries will be created soon because time is running out quicker than we think we have.
I thought it was already understood that co2 does not harm the environment or our planet.
Such a cool house! I love how people get creative when it comes to using renewable forms of energy. I've been looking forward to build something like that in the new Sims pack
One thing i love in this video is your Laughts you bout has great happy contagious laugh and your house is so perfect I wish I had one like that
Awesome how they can add all the renewable options to the home ... from solar to water to methane gas. Great ideas ...Love it!!!
Home Channel TV there's no wind power utilisation which could top up their winter electric power.
good point
A propaganda policy by the globalist. A free carbon footprint? Hypocrisy at its best.

I love you good people.. this is our future.. we need innovative people like you all..
I love this couple!!! They are so goofy🤣🤣🤣
3 weeks is not really a test....but I love the set up and style of the house...well done...I second the vote of doing an update after a year xxx
Please do an update on them in a year. I want to know how everything worked for them throughout winter
They live in Australia , winter never comes there
It's my dream come true to live totally off grid like these people, and to be totally in sync with each other having a true life partner, growing your own food.

Awesome show. I found myself watching so many episodes back to back, just fascinated with the houses, the stories, and the amazing drive, passion and ingenuity of the tiny house owners. Keep up the great work in highlighting the many unique tiny houses and their owners!
This is definitely one of my favorites. They have everything. Yes. So amazing. Pammie from Chicago
Very nice build! Making your own cooking gas was just awesome, that's often the downside of off grid, the need for propane bottles.
Great couple! Wonderful sense of humor. I could so live in a house like this. They got it all figured out!
I love how the lady knows mostly everything about the design of the house like the sizes and all that stuff👍🏽💕
Yes
These people are awesome examples for humanity!
Nice home, please revisit after a year or two and see how all the off the grid energy worked through different conditions. I would like an off grid home and would use their energy-efficient systems they chose as models. Thanks, Bryce for your home research.
A lot of neat ideas for a lovely tiny house especially your resourcefulness with methane gas for cooking and not forgetting the bathroom sink a SALAD BOWL Wow!! All the best and thank you for sharing. 😊
this design is genius and exactly what i would like for my tiny house
dislikes ?? ? how can anyone dislike such a positive design.. just the effort of these couple has my gazzillion thumbs up!!! :)
That's what I want. That's all that I want. They're living the dream, not only with their self-sustaining house, but also doing it all together.
Very impressive. They have all their bases covered.
Hopefully this tiny house still stands after the 2019/20 disaster that hit Australia... because if it's in any way possible i would LOVE to see how these people feel about their home now. Almost 2y in the going... still together? still living in the Tiny? how did their systems hold up? scaled up or down? ...etc and so on... also 65K is amazing !
see the update video
@Da Co yeas obviously, that's why I commented that duh
@Da Co find it out urself mate😎
@Da Co 😂lol yes
That is an impressive off-grid set up!
Leeching of your friend's property is off-grid? In that case I'm moving into my mom's basement....that's "off-grid" right?
Gen Smiley I would lather my naked body in fish guts and swim with a swarm of hungry piranhas for this off grid set up...
Jhoxi Hum off grid is off grid. Your property or not. Why so cynical on a beautiful video? Who hurt you?
THIS is how I would build. Plenty of creature comforts, fully off grid...well done. Well done.
They did an awesome job. What talent. They're not carpenters but you would never know it. Every nook and cranny space was used. Their house is a living and breathing house. Love it!
AMAZING indeed ! A fantastic exemple as how we can live simply and confortably.
Kudos on the diversification of energy generators (solar, biogas). One more passive way to control interior temps (especially during summer) would be to incorporate underground cooling tubes. So awesome that they did this and all at a great price. Cheers from California. :)
HOW About the LAWS starting to go against people living in TINY HOUSES?
The population should reassemble together and create by thousands, tiny houses in just one single area, creating a new town of more humble people but courageous, with a new way of life with clean, non-polluting principles and be an example to being followed for the rest of the world and have the media backing this up.
Down with "zoning." Oppose the tyranny and the local city council tyrants. Read Salatin's "Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal" for a good example.
David Brown
I understand your point!
But Let the people reorganize themselves as one! Without tyrants leadership
Here in Rapid City SD we have a city block filling up wit tiny houses, Either the city or a church is building them, for people who are desperate for a place to live.!
People do already do this, just not a lot. Sometimes all it takes is for one person to buy some land to start a community like this. You could fit many tiny houses, cabins, even tents and teepees on about 5 acres and still have space between each other and plenty of nature to look at. So long as there isn't too many people you can even live with the animals after they get used to you being there.
There shouldn't be any laws on people and items that aren't causing physical, mental or emotional damage to people.
I have seen a lot of tiny houses, but I can't remember one that is as interesting as this one. I hope they succeed in living here for a long time.
lots of thoughts had been put in to building this house, great achievement to be independent of modern connectivity like water and power.
easily one of the nicest bathroom in this one.
I Saw A Bear u
Just add CHILDREN!
agree, well thought of. would love to poop there
Add lots of children.
You know most people that live in the country don't want a bunch of social justice virtue signaling assholes move it to the connection stay in the city amongst your own kind
Why would anyone give a thumbs down to this video? Just asking. Feel free to explain your rationale if you did. Great video, and very inspiring tiny house. I envy their lifestyle!

That view is gorgeous
what's a beautiful life. Build your dream house with someone you love in such a beautiful surrounding. Love it !
This couple is so sweet, they laugh about anything.
Funniest couple yet ! Love the house 🏡 too
Happy Couple ... .Keep smiling
you are genius .... good work.

Pakistani talks of peace, it restored my faith in humanity.

Pakistan was also alleged to be responsible for the evacuation of about 5000 of the top leadership of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda who were encircled by Nato forces in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. This event known as the Kunduz airlift, which is also popularly called the "Airlift of Evil", involved several Pakistani Air Force transport planes flying multiple sorties over a number of days.
The militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is widely blamed for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. The US has put a $10m bounty for its founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed. Saeed now heads the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) group, widely seen as a front for LeT. LeT was banned by Pakistan in 2002 after it allegedly carried out an attack on the Indian parliament. JuD is currently banned by the US, the EU, India and Russia as a terrorist organisation. In June 2014, Washington declared JuD an LeT affiliate and announced head money for JuD's political wing chief and Saeed's brother-in-law Abdur Rahman Makki. Zaki ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba and allegedly the planner of 2008 Mumbai attacks was released in Pakistan which caused condemnations in India.
Few of many reasons why I get amazed when Pakistan talks of peace.
Hi Bryce - I wish the camera had been on you and your expression when you asked them what the thought process was for building it so long and he said "I dunno"! LOL!!!!! Awesome not so tiny home - it has everything. Beautiful couple. Thanks Bryce, take care my friend. ;)
Charles H isn’t it refreshing though?! Cos everyone is usually so prepared & planned with their answers that it’s nice to hear something like that! So natural - a lovely couple! 😄
Hahaha. Yeah, definitely a crack up. We loved out visit with this couple. They are such fun people!
That made me laugh so hard. Great funny guy!
Golden 47 👍
the best thing about this house is the fact that its budget oriented and realistic.
Congratulations on Your New Living, Using What God Provides for Us. Natural Living
We hope you enjoy this weeks episode! Let me know what your favourite feature of this home is. 👍
Living Big In A Tiny House get yourself a 360 cam and start a tiny house vr channel.
The fantastic bathroom and a proper couch! 👍
That literally everything is off grid and renewable. I would love to see a follow up with them after a full year, to see if they had any difficulties with their systems during the seasons.
the bio-gas technology was very cool, had not seen that before.
The autarky they aimed at was my personal favourite.
Three weeks isn't yet long enough to know whether their autarky really holds up, but I'd be very interested in what they learn over a period of a year or two:
different cooking tops, own mini biogas production, quite some water storage (but probably not enough to garden through a draught), a Greek style solar water heater to even run the washing machine off ... they would be a case for a follow-up for sure.
Oh, and the cost comparison to Sidney renting was telling!
LMAO!!! “I don’t know... we wanted it long?!” 🤣🤣🤣 I DIED!🤣💀
I did too! I see why she chose him! He’s a hoot!
My dream is to live off-grid, not relying on the system. Imagine if we all took this approach.
Andy Vegan the government would surely be making new laws and finding ways to bleed us dry 😂
it is my dream too
Andy Vegan Come to Bulgaria! Houses run about 2, 500 the cheapest in the mountains to date. You can be my neighbor ! I will teach you everything there is to know about all foods you can eat for free in the summer and fall!
Sam Nikole dammm that's neighborly cool
we love the move we made from the city to off grid
I Absolutely Love Everything you've done, from the footprint, to the location, the gardens, and the total Off-Grid self sustaining life you've made for yourselves!
Should i ever hit the lottery, i know just who to look up!
*AWESOME JOB!*
This is beautiful how they create a really efficient off the grid home but completely functional as well.
You need to go back in a year or so and bring us a n update.
they got divorced, she's now living with some banker who drives a V12 AMG mercedes, he still lives in his tiny house, there was a strong wind so it got badly damaged, half of the cells dont work, some issues with inverter
Cody Slab what
Cody Slab godam it you stole my reply!! 😂 was gunna say divorced and the house is on fire.
I'd definitely like too see an update on this one.
A V12 AMG car would make perfect sense cause she likes things that are stupidly complicated, expensive, and impractical.
CUTE TINY HOUSE AND COUPLE. GOOD STUFF.
A wonderful and cozy home. Congratulations for this nice couple from Canary islands _Spain
No man, woman, child, beast has been created that I would enjoy life with living in a tiny house.
omg man they did a great job
Hola me gusta mucho su hermosa casa ecologica, Practica y con todas las comodidades, con una combinacion de colores muy acertada y luminosa dandole un hermoso contraste. Gracias por dejarnos verla. Walter - Ushuaia - T.D.F - Argentina
It would be nice to know what the people you interview do for a living. I mean, to get away from the city into a distant place, you must work at home, or something of the like.
Great video, as always!
The98 RG - OR .. possibly worked very hard, made enough cash to pay for the build & got so pissed off with paying bills that they’ve opted for a self sustainable lifestyle instead ?!
The98 RG ..
The98 RG For people like me ? I worked in the US 23 years with mom! We live on her SS payments! Once that runs out, the only payment I will have is my property bill of 25 dollars a year. I will pay that by selling a goat or a few rabbits. The rest ? I gather wood and grass for the rabbits and goats,. Walnuts, berries , and hazlenuts along with a few edible plants/ mushrooms are dried and stored! They grow free all summer and harvested in the fall. A mini homestead is all you need. You dont need a job if you are smart and talented!If you want to work, there are fields you go to all summer and collect roses , berries or mushrooms. They pay daily and some provide free shelter for the summer.
the internet is freeing people from the "normal" jobs
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY how much is to pay for the land where you place this house?
Brilliant, just brilliant; especially the energy systems! "I dunno, we wanted it long . . ."
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
This couple is just adorable! Great tiny house!
I really love this one, it seems so balanced, enough room to not feel cramped. Love it
I love it!!!! I am seeking to do basically the same thing, but I am waiting on a few minor things before I can accomplish my goal!!! Only my tiny house will be a permanent build! But I fully intend on using solar heat for my water, and using rain catchment for my supply. I am going to do a biogas system, plus solar and wind power!!!! And of course have my own garden!!! I have as I am right now in the city on two lots doing what I can!!! I have two hazel nut trees, & one each a pear, peach, plum & mulberry tree!! I have 3 grape vines, two blackberry, two raspberry and one fig bush!! And I am fixing to plant my spring/summer garden!!! I raise muscovy ducks and chickens, both of which I butcher, leaving mostly hens and with a drake or two and a rooster or two, so I can or they can continue the flock!!! I can hardly wait to get some land in the country and get it done where I will be most content!!!!!
The Ducking Homestead and Gardens I hope God answers your prayers it touched me to read your comment it has so much passion and determination in it .
Sounds like an exciting project.
I’ve put a small cabin on 8 acres which is close to complete now. I installed a 500 watt 24v solar power system which can take another 500w of panels if I need. 10500 lt rain tank, a septic system. I’m looking at getting LP gas stove and heater as well.
The idea of bio gas seems interesting, I’ll have to do some research on that.
Good luck with your project. It’s a good feeling you don’t have to let a big corporation make profit from you for your basic needs.
Billie Taylor
Awe, Thank you!! I need to get me a good camera, so I can start posting videos of at least what I do now! Hopefully I can do in next month so I can start posting!!! I will let you know when I do if u would like!!! Oh yeah..., My sister's name is Billie also...lol!!! Such a small world!!!
Aaron Heaney
Thank you and Wow!!! I agree with all you said! I am going to look into biogas as well!!! Have you considered putting an a rocket stove maybe? Especially for heat and while u have it fired up you could save on gas for cooking by setting the stove up like an oven and even cooking surface!!! Just my thoughts! I want one in mine and I am going to build an outside one for summer cooking or regular cooking anytime! Going to do one where I am and then when I move do another!!! I love this kind of stuff, creating with your hands, having the finished project to help your happiness and contentment and de-stressing all of one's life!!
The Ducking Homestead and Gardens wow that's would be so awesome to see your progress. Lol I smiled to hear that your sister and I share the same name it's a gift and a curse (thanks to MJ) people jump in my face all the time singing Billie Jean. But I hope you do do some posting. We are hoping to atleast buy a home for us and our 3 kids hopefully God hears us both and answers those prayers to achieve our goals.
My dream is go off grid and build a house out of shipping containers running on solar and wind power.
Yes. Containers! George Wu, Architect, A.I.A.,NCARB 2019-1-1
georgewu5 need an architect to draw up my container plans

@Made from Watermelons COOL STORY BRO!!!
Another childless infertile egocentric "family"
such a lovely and happy couple..
Gumamela Flower it's only been 3 weeks.
молодці! красива пара! Бажаю вам щастя та здоров'я ,здійснення мрій!
They're probably the funniest couple I've seen here in this Tiny Houses series. And btw, great house!
Am I the only Tunisian human obsessed with tiny houses?! And renewable energy?
Jesus is the way.....thats whay
would like to see a re-visit 1 year later...
There is a re-visit. Just saw it yesterday :)
A tiny house like this would not work for our family (wife + 4 children), but I love watching tiny house videos because it always impresses me the way they utilize space. I feel like traditional homes waste tons of space. For example tiny houses often turn the stairs into storage spaces, have foldaway tables, etc. I even saw one where the bed was on a garage door opener and track and was lowered for sleeping, but then raised up to the ceiling during the day. Why doesn't anyone do this kind of stuff in permanent houses? I think it would be cool to build a permanent small/medium house but use a lot of the same space-saving and off-grid techniques. You could make a 1000 sq foot house feel much larger.
4 children?????
WOW! Totally self sufficient! And I love the design. Good for both of you!!!! I will be doing a rain dance for you.
I admire people have a mind for sustainable, off-grid living that is also portable. I noticed there's a trailer hitch there. So, it's great you can move where you wish. I aim to build my own 2kw array but for now I have two small arrays in my bedroom windows for charging many devices and powering several wifi controlled room lights and a digital clock and aircon. This family are inspiring. It's great.
Please do go back in winter and see how they manage with the biogas, solar, hot water etc.
Here is how one describes summer and winter in Australia....the one is fucking hot and the other is slightly less fucking hot....solar etc works all year.
They're in Byron Bay. Winter there is beautiful. Average of 21C daily with lots of sun. Shouldn't be a problem.
Jhoxi Hum unless youre in melbourne or victoris and the winters are fucking freezing
Leaf Green Go do your research. They do not have our winters in Europe or America. Their climate veries little from spring to winter! Do your research. They get enough sun to power these babies 365 days per year!
Leaf Green Biogas is created from food, grass, compost and even humanure. You have a lot of reading to do !
Such a lovely and fun couple
Congrats to them for pulling it off!!!!
Such a lovely couple... goofy.. love watching them.
I'm not big on tiny houses, but the self-sustainment/renewable ideas are amazing!
Maybe a follow up on the bio gas digester
IanC , research anaerobic digesters and gobar systems. 👍
shelly duval on dr phil
find Shelley Duvall on dr. Phil
"What's the future have in store for you both?" Lot of sitting back, drinking beer and laughing uncontrollably.
Now this is brilliant!
Yes...leech on your friends grid(property) and then call yourself off-grid....brilliant. So living in my mom's basement all my life is off-grid, right?
Two LOVELY responsable people!
OMG!!!!! I love everything about this house! this is my dream off grid home!!!AMAZING!!!!!😚😚😚😚😚
They managed ALLL that for 65k!? Holy cr*p well done!
Blows my mind as my solar system alone was 52k
I would be so Happy to own this Kick Ass Tiny House...One Day...
I have been looking at those home biogas systems - that is definitely the future! Great video again Bryce! Xx
Love seeing peoples creativity on these episodes. And getting future ideas 💡
They seem like a really great couple.
