    I love that being connected to nature makes you appreciate everything a little more. When it rains, you’re happy and thankful. When it’s sunny you’re also happy and thankful. Winter, spring, summer, fall... all bring something different and meaningful and when you live with and in nature, you take notice of this.
    Beautiful home and lifestyle!

      It's funny how people assume when you're off grid you are secluded and off in some remote area. We are also off grid in Canada (cold Northwestern Ontario). We have on grid houses all around us. I work 6min away, my neighbor lives across the road. I'm 20min from a hospital. We have solar power and vehicles, even internet...when it wants to work. Blizzards all the time, shoveling is great exercise and helpful neighbors are great too, no forest fires that I've heard of.
      Off grid literally means you are not connected to electrical grid.
      It's a beautiful and satisfying way to live.

      I think by culturally tolerant she means the girl will be able to keep her stance facing the diverse cultural assaults of modern and future urban life. It's a fact people grown up in countryside are more psychologically secure, they know the basics of life by dealing in them in real life. It becomes subconscious understanding of sound principles of natural life, when exposed right from the beginning - in childhood.

Unfortunately building land here is scarce, and open countryside is heavily protected from development, the only way to do this is buy an existing house on a good plot and pull it down, you're looking at anything from £150k to well over £1m before you start.

    This is how life is supposed to be and these guys are living it up. It's great to see that some people have managed to escape the evil clutches of corporate slavery and live close to nature and yet not miss out on anything that life has to offer. Kudos to them for figuring it out. I am on a similar path and hopefully, my new passive house in the mountains will be ready by the end of this year. It's a lot of work but it's been worth it thus far. Living off the grid has been a dream for me and last year, I gave it a go for 6 months and it was the best ever phase of my life despite all the hardships. It's only gonna get better from here with experience.

    • @rozchristopherson648
      @rozchristopherson648 4 года назад +1

      Diana Thank you for your reply. I know burning coal is bad because it emits mercury. I heat with electric now which is so expensive. There is an old oil boiler in this house but it doesn’t work. I don’t like propane because of explosion hazard. Solar is an option but that will cost at least $15,000 US and I’m not sure for Pennsylvania winters that will supply enough warmth as the sole source of heat. So I thought a wood boiler might be a good option.

I love watching these videos and these happy couples that are both on the same page about alternative living. It gives me some hope :) great deal on the land and earthship!
