People say my generation is entitled and expect luxuries handed to them, but this is literally all I want. A little hut in the bush where I can grow vegetables and chickens and make art. Yet it's so impossibly unreachable.
Dude has a great outlook on life, and you can tell he's happier than 99 percent of the world. Good for him. Keep pushing that consciousness out into the world brother, your inner Beatle is inspiration for others, that's how your truly helping.
C'mon--is he a Beatle or a roach? Is he helping anyone but himself? If you wanted to live in his "space" with him you's see a giant shift in attitude. If you're female he's evaluate his sexual attraction, you'd be welcome til he tired of you. If you're male he might try you sexually but he would want some kind of contribution or he'd invite you to get lost. He's no humanitarian.
@@gymshoe8862such a cynical judgment of a person you have never met and who has never done anything to you. Let him be. He's not trying to be your guru, just to live in a way that meets his needs in his own tiny space.
@@burntbeansoup Do I care? Not really but I do have a valid opinion and I'm glad to say it. If we went back there today we'd find him gone along with all his utopian notions. He'll be mooching off someone else you can bet. He is getting ever gov't handout right now I am sure.
I sounds completely sensible to me. The degree to which we view this homestead as bizarre indicates the extent of our separation from what is actually important to humanity.
I too, identify as a vision holder alongside you of this mission, dream & belief that it is possible for a better future for all. One of natural construction and to be more in tune with harmony and balance and creative creation.
My dad was saying that the reason humans are so stupid now is because we have lost our need for critical thinking. We no longer need to put effort into anything, we just stare at our phones and social media all day. We don't think for ourselves anymore and he's 100% correct.
It's more about avoiding discomfort, trying to be comfortable all the time, no uncertainty, no unfamiliar, no need to change our opinions or broaden our perspective or adjust beliefs or to learn anything that might challenge our comfort. But growth, learning, expansion, creative action all depend on discomfort.
"Seek Discomfort" is the slogan for the RUclips channel called "Yes Theory". Absolutely phenomenal content! I purchased a purple tapestry from them and it reads, "Seek Discomfort" across it💜 @@notashroom
I LOVE cob homes. I would totally love to make one. I love the artisic and and crative ways you can make them. You can live in literal sculptures if you want.
Beautiful music and lyrics: "Wherever I may be now, I was not then...I'll never be again." Creative and inspiring cob house, love it. Everyone does deserve their own place to create if they choose and to call home.
This initially annoyed me to no end. I grew up in LA and Portland and am not a fan of the "woah nature is beautiful man" despite hiking daily in state parks myself. That being said, once he started talking about the beetles, and how he views himself, it clicked for me. I really needed to hear that and appreciate the message quite a bit :)
The bark beetle part resonates so much with me. I also have been fascinated by their patterns, and your philosophy around that is just so inspiring. Thanks for that! 🙏
This is how living life ...with what we need ...not what we want ...should be .....Im over 60 ...I know now what I could have done ..instead I was raised conforming to what at the time I thought was normal ...Ive been awake for a while now .....My next life I will live with the earth ...I have felt uncomfortable with how I have lived for many years ....its time to change ...be free ...Love from NZ
It's never too late Roger ♡ My friend changed her sassy life in Canada to amazing life in a natural house in little community in Bolivia when she was 60. She's been living there for over 10 years now. Very happily :)
what frustrates me is there doesn't appear to be any place within reach of basic services, in Canada, where there isn't someone who will come tear it down if you build outside of their narrow list of approved methods. Unfortunately, the listed methods are terribly expensive, resulting in no ability to build one's own home anymore unless one is quite well moneyed. Or mortgaged. And then you have to hire a builder anyway because, again, the rules say you need a whole team of professionals to do the work. Since they demand such complicated buildings. Very frustrating. I've been an interior painter all my life, so I actually have a few clues on the codes and how they've changed. It's a tough one because you don't want children being housed in a dangerous build. Yet we must reopen the opportunities for people to build their own home, however primitive they choose to live! It would actually do more for the housing crisis than any cash injection from the public purse.
I live here too. I am resolute in that when I build my own place, it will be without rules. And so you must go unincorporated. Doesnt that make sense to you? Or do you plan on fighting the establishment for the rest of your life? If you do, I would love that, because I would love to see rules change within reasonable boundaries to cities.
@@catrina35377 perhaps the cob house pictured in the video, but there are far more substantial cob houses that do just fine here in the Prairies. -40degC? +40 degC? No problem. Some of there are here on RUclips. Easily researched.
I'm wondering how can he legally live in this place. Part of the problem is we are not allowed to live alternatively like this. We are forced to live by the building codes. So many restrictions. He kinda mentions this at the end of the video.
you have to inherit or pay for the land or something. it's not like u can live this way freely in our society, but that's also not the point of the video i think either. it's something u can escape to though if u save up or inherit some money i guess.
It's incredibly frustrating. I own two lots on an island in the NW and I'm restricted by so many regulations and a minimum building size of about 1,400 sq. feet. I can't build a small or tiny home on either of the lots and I certainly couldn't put something naturally built on it.
@@kristinab1078it's going to take a coordinated effort to fight back against these restrictions and ensure that there are at least zones in every area where people can build natural and traditional houses and live simply. Living simply is great for the health and spirit, but it's not great for the businesses that rely on public policies to keep people trapped in the rat race and the investors who profit from that exploitation. There are places up and down Appalachia and the Atlantic and Gulf coasts that have no housing code and some land that's not outrageously expensive, but they're just dotted here and there and not necessarily easy to find. I doubt there's anything like that west of the Cascades, though.
When I was an OTR truck driver, I often thought it would be possible to build a small home with all the materials I used to see laying on the side of the highway.
Sage Stoneman, you are so right about our sick society. I'm not sure I have your level of hope and believe in humankind... that we will find our way. I wish I could live like this with no door and walls hand-sculpted by me - but it's too cold and the bugs would eat me alive. In the meantime I live in a cabin with no running water and an outhouse, built many decades ago, where I am surrounded by tall trees, and woods and adjacent to a lovely very long trail, far from town, and that is a rather nice compromise.
Legally, now there's a concept...I so love his concept of life and habitat...at 73 I've squirreled myself away in a small home, small footprint that I continually plant my privacy and food source around me, a microcosm of bees n butterflies in a ridiculous city of a million people in Florida...I can cope with the highway drone imagining it as a hive of busy worker bees...and just do my thing as the cray cray old hippy that talks to the trees...it is enough until the next time...be well...
This is it right here. A perfect expression and reflection of myself and where I'm at in life, too. Creating cheap and minimal homes in an artistic way and living close to nature. Its really inspiring to see more and more people taking this step. Your integrity with nature, health and creativity and passion to live this life is rare. Keep shining your light brother.
This is beautiful brother. Absolutely beautiful. Everything you said, the house, your energy, all of it. I totally agree with you. For years and years I didn't have that sense of feeling at home. I've always been looking for a place to call home. I'm trying to get out of this sad toxic system at the moment. I left my apartment in the city and went as close as I can get to nature. I have lots of desert around me now and the sea and I sometimes just sleep at the shore and still want to try to go sleep in the mountains in the desert. When I felt fed up with not having this sense of being at home, I decided that the earth is my home. I'll go anywhere and sleep anywhere. The Matrix is all about consumerism, fake desires and fear. This is how everyone is hooked up. Thank you for making this video and thank you for being such a light and for the inspiration. Much love brother.
I mean if you can live in it is it not technically a house? sort of part of what he is explaining, as to erase our concepts of what a house is in current society.
Oh my....how I LOVE your soul!!! How are you leaving your mark? By doing EXACTLY what you're doing and being EXACTLY who you are! ❤ You are touching people you don't even know, in Country's you're not even in!! Be well you beautiful Soul! Thank you for sharing!!
A house like this is only possible in a warm climate. Build something like this up here in Massachusetts and you'll make for one creative blood popsicle.
straw bale :coated with cob inside and outside makes also a very well insulated/ warm to touch home. Whereas skylights and thermal mass on the floor And or / mud rocket mass stove allow the heat to be stored inside even for very cold climates for very little money
not entirely true. can still be insulated. humidity and snow moisture can be more of an issue. but there are different natural building materials for different locations. log cabins ect.
They have homes like this hundreds of years old in wet and cold wales. But their winters aren’t as cold as here in MA. Upstate NY I think I’ve heard of there being a few straw bale homes, which are similar to cob.
Love the skylight from the bed. Dreaming yourself to sleep with the view of the sky. So Heavenly.....I was melting just listening to you describe your environment, particularly how you had these little laughs peppered in. You so appreciate creativity. How wonderful that your friends helped you weave the interior roof.
Many people in america have no 🏠. Maybe you inspire many people to create their home. Cities could build homes for their homeless people. I love these vidoes, because there are resources for the homeless. May your vision expand to other people.
This moved me so deeply. Thank you for your wisdom Sage and the way you see the world and anchor your consciousness for the collective. So honored to witness this.🙏🏻💞🥲
Inspiring! I also want to live like this... Society makes it all so difficult. Thanks Sage for raising the collective consciousness. I appreciate you 🧡
Thank you for that injection of grounded optimism about humanity, I feel the same way but I’m not around many others who do at this time in my life (for compelling reasons). It means so much to have come across this video on this evening far away across the planet and be reminded I’m not alone even if I am delusional. Beautiful project too 😊
You're not delusional. Eyes have to be opened to see we have been duped with a false sense of reality. If...if mankind could reach that level of consciousness, we will be alright.
What you say at the beginning of your video, I agree with completely. Love your outlook on life. Society, certainly in the western world has sadly long since lost its way. I dream of getting out of the modern ‘real’ world as I too have been miss programmed instead of listening to my heart. Thank you for sharing. 👍🙏🏻
This is awesome! This is truly affordable & nicer than anything you can buy & you get to build with your own hands & appreciate that creativity & imagination.
Fantastic little home. I love that you spoke to how society prevents most people in most places from building these common sense, affordable, sustainable homes. We have four options: A) Do nothing & let suffering continue B) Change the laws to legalize creativity C) Move to a place without these restrictive laws. D) If the laws won't change, and we can't move, and we don't want to give up -- just start building :)
@@pascualdesolo It’s true. That happens. It’s often best to build further away from cities. That said, as conditions worsen for many people, the authorities can’t enforce everywhere at once. Eventually if enough people are building what works for them, it can build a critical mass. I think it’s inevitable as people become more desperate for affordable housing and as food costs / inflation rises.
@@OffGridGuides be an artist, I support it but if your artistic home starts making parking in front of my home or starts bringing heavy for traffic, you better believe the city will be called. Be an artist where it won't negatively affect others. Traffic jams in small neighborhoods is absolutely negatively affecting homeowners and taxpayers
If we humans lived this way, not only are our needs met but also the needs of the non-human kind are met ... In other words, paradise is achieved for all ✨🕊️🌈
I love this, I run a nonprofit school for sustainable living in a jungle in Costa Rica . What an awesome video! I am planning my nest in the jungle here. This is awesome ! I have lots of wood , bamboo, cob and I would love to work with the medium . Very nice ! I live in the rainforest , too, it is so healing . So tranquil .
Thank you so much You are a little fresh air in that moderne world that will keep flowing into minds and hopefully one day everyone will understand ! ❤
This is quite beautiful! It reminds me of the home my mom and her mom built together by hand. They used pine tree wood to make the frame and bamboo+straw with mud mixed with cow dung to fill the walls.
Yes it is important to speak for yourself. What maybe “health” for one individual, would not be “health” to another. Wonderful that you were able to find your health
So beautiful! Only 2 things I'd change is not having glass above my head (skylights make me nervous 😂) and adding a door haha but he right, the doorway is so beautiful. I'd get wood wet, bend it to the shape, let it dry, mold it on, measure it out ane cut a cutsom door then carve it. Slap a window in it, OMG that'd be beautiful too.😊
I am beginning and capturing my mud home project this Spring in upstate NY. Thank you for sharing and inspiring ideas. I love the windows in the loft. That's amazing!
Omg this is amazing I live in southern California and I just buy a piece of land dreaming to build a house like that I'm currently living in the middle of nothing in my old trailer with no electricity, water or propane completely of grid I'll really appreciate it if anyone from here who read my message if they are close to my area can get it touch with me who can help me with some advice is my dream cause I been having really bad times for the last 5 years so I'm getting kind of frustrated thanks for sharing this inspirational videos God bless you all I'm Gaby from California
Love it! ❤️ great job. This is a testimony to exactly why the government should not be able to tell us what we can live in / build on our own property.
A man after my own heart. I have been wanting to build a home out of mud and straw for well over a decade.I have designed a couple of different styles of homes. It always boils down to having the land. I did have the land once upon a time but for reasons I won’t go into I no longer have that. But I haven’t given up the dream and I think Mexico might be a good option. I do believe in home as a community endeavor and as a community building endeavor. I would like my home to be a form of outreach, that encourages and teaches others to be empowered to build the home of their dreams. People who have been left out of the modern system, and are in substandard housing, still chasing an ideal they’ll never achieve. I would like them to know that they can live with dignity, safety, and in comfort, without being plugged into all that as it only keeps them in a place of subjugation, marginalized, and poverty stricken.
I’ve watch many videos of cob homes trying to get a understand on what type of home I’d like to build but even though he has a small home that’s unsuitable for my family this video was better than any of the other videos about cob homes I’ve found due to his insightful knowledge on the world. I hate how the society is as if you were to google the average home price according to google As of July 31, 2023, the average home value in Georgia stands at $319,330. I once strived to purchase a home for my family but 5 months ago I was laid off and my wife and I lost everything besides my car. We had to move back in with my parents and it’s sickening that we are constantly controlled by something we have zero control over. I never wanna go through that again but it goes back to what he said building regulations approval and simply trying to survive in this world only comes down to money. Zero sense of artistic freedom to build a house yet the ability to have a home as a basic right as a species should come standard the moment we are born. Freedom and the option to live domesticated of chosen to do so.
Hey you guys should do a video on Compressed Earth Blocks. Most cities won't let you build with Cob but Compressed Earth Blocks are premited in any municipalities using IBC codes. Which is a Ton of municipalities.
So true, everyone having the chance to build their own home, they should teach it in school and how to survive locally. I love your mindset and the video reminds me of my song lyrics for some reason, super rad dude, your a inspiration to this world for sure, Big up Life!
- The word that i think seeing your vídeo is CHOICE. The CHOICE manifest! 👏👏👏 Every one of us should have CHOICE. This is the main thing the industrial society loose.
I think your home is beautiful and if its a manifestation of your feelings and health, then you truly must be a healthy, happy person and, that is the very best we can hope to be. Especially if you're mindful of the impact you and your home has on the environment. I think it's lovely and it gives a sense of peace to people viewing it. I would make a door out of reclaimed wood, like in your loft and put those things you see in castles to bar the door, but only use it in extreme weather, it wouldn't have hinges or be permanently attached, just there if it is needed.

This moved me so deeply. Thank you for your wisdom Sage and the way you see the world and anchor your consciousness for the collective. So honored to witness this.🙏🏻💞🥲
Oh God.
So beautiful... just beautiful, artistically and philosophically.
I am smitten with the organically fluid details around the windows and "portal"... I love this guy.
In a world we created, we must find the loop holes to thrive.. i really hope we are getting close to changing that ❤
Inspiring! I also want to live like this... Society makes it all so difficult. Thanks Sage for raising the collective consciousness. I appreciate you 🧡
This is how it was meant to be man so cool that’s my ultimate goal is the have my own home that I don’t have to pay for👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It's beautiful. I wish you the best, I just can't see you being allowed to continue. Go for it, man. More power to you. Stay down and low.
Do it for those of us who wish we could, and hopefully will do one day.
Thank you for that injection of grounded optimism about humanity, I feel the same way but I’m not around many others who do at this time in my life (for compelling reasons). It means so much to have come across this video on this evening far away across the planet and be reminded I’m not alone even if I am delusional. Beautiful project too 😊

You're not delusional.
Eyes have to be opened to see we have been duped with a false sense of reality.
If...if mankind could reach that level of consciousness, we will be alright.
So astoundingly gorgeous in every way. Simply beautiful artist and art... Sage's words...may they be heard everywhere 💓 Thank you ✨🌱✨
What you say at the beginning of your video, I agree with completely. Love your outlook on life. Society, certainly in the western world has sadly long since lost its way. I dream of getting out of the modern ‘real’ world as I too have been miss programmed instead of listening to my heart. Thank you for sharing. 👍🙏🏻
This is awesome! This is truly affordable & nicer than anything you can buy & you get to build with your own hands & appreciate that creativity & imagination.
This was really lovely. Sage has a gentle and artistic spirit, and I appreciate you sharing his home and insight.
Thank you for your kindness 🙏🫶
One of the more sensible and articulate people I've heard speak in a while
its amazing, i love his home
I finally found someone just like me. Thank you so much Sage. My Dream has always been to live like u are.
Fantastic little home. I love that you spoke to how society prevents most people in most places from building these common sense, affordable, sustainable homes. We have four options: A) Do nothing & let suffering continue B) Change the laws to legalize creativity C) Move to a place without these restrictive laws. D) If the laws won't change, and we can't move, and we don't want to give up -- just start building :)
💯💯
@@pascualdesolo It’s true. That happens. It’s often best to build further away from cities. That said, as conditions worsen for many people, the authorities can’t enforce everywhere at once. Eventually if enough people are building what works for them, it can build a critical mass. I think it’s inevitable as people become more desperate for affordable housing and as food costs / inflation rises.
All mud is shit. Call it what it is. A house of shit. Still a great house.
Don't forget that you have national debt on your shoulders and you will have to pay txs for your own house.
@@OffGridGuides be an artist, I support it but if your artistic home starts making parking in front of my home or starts bringing heavy for traffic, you better believe the city will be called. Be an artist where it won't negatively affect others. Traffic jams in small neighborhoods is absolutely negatively affecting homeowners and taxpayers
Absolutely brilliant very inspiring
Amazing I'm going to do my own art in this amazing planet amazing Gaia
I love the sculptural look of the cabin.
💙💙
Very ‘Gaudi’ art nouveau shapes, so cool 😎
I wish you showed night view also,and how do you protect it from rain
If we humans lived this way, not only are our needs met but also the needs of the non-human kind are met ... In other words, paradise is achieved for all ✨🕊️🌈
I love this, I run a nonprofit school for sustainable living in a jungle in Costa Rica . What an awesome video! I am planning my nest in the jungle here. This is awesome ! I have lots of wood , bamboo, cob and I would love to work with the medium . Very nice ! I live in the rainforest , too, it is so healing . So tranquil .
Would love to connect. Feel free to dm me @naturalbuildings on IG
This is the type of architect I like :)
Thank you so much You are a little fresh air in that moderne world that will keep flowing into minds and hopefully one day everyone will understand ! ❤
Great job capturing Sage's original natural home and his healing perspective through video!
True words by a wise, spiritual and sincere soul.

Bathroom usage? Water supply? Land acquirement? A lot was left out.
Beautiful "home" in a true sense. Thanks you give me hope in humanity.
🙏🙏
Just so nice. You create your home with love and you want to share it. Thank you from Belgium 👋🙏🍀
💙💙💙
What an enlightened fellow bless you my brother may you infinitely dance in light and bliss❤️🕉️
This is quite beautiful! It reminds me of the home my mom and her mom built together by hand. They used pine tree wood to make the frame and bamboo+straw with mud mixed with cow dung to fill the walls.
This house is so beautiful, and I loved the message. Many things to think about. But this is definitely the dream
What a beautiful soul you have Sage
And a truly lovely little home
Peace to you brother ☮️ 😊💕
Yes it is important to speak for yourself. What maybe “health” for one individual, would not be “health” to another. Wonderful that you were able to find your health
So beautiful! Only 2 things I'd change is not having glass above my head (skylights make me nervous 😂) and adding a door haha but he right, the doorway is so beautiful. I'd get wood wet, bend it to the shape, let it dry, mold it on, measure it out ane cut a cutsom door then carve it. Slap a window in it, OMG that'd be beautiful too.😊
this is why im learning ceramics and wanna build houses with this skill, its about natural building forsure
i cried watching him just talk about how much he loves art and the life he created its just amazing
I am beginning and capturing my mud home project this Spring in upstate NY. Thank you for sharing and inspiring ideas. I love the windows in the loft. That's amazing!
I absolutely love this. I also love the fact that this guy exists. Thank you.
Inspiring, thank you so much
I resonated with every single word. Beautiful human, peace creativity and abundance to you. ❤
"Doors are just kind of annoying; they're in the way." Sage Stoneman, I'll be quoting you on this one. Love it.
What he just said about the beetles made me tear up. So profound!
Omg this is amazing I live in southern California and I just buy a piece of land dreaming to build a house like that I'm currently living in the middle of nothing in my old trailer with no electricity, water or propane completely of grid I'll really appreciate it if anyone from here who read my message if they are close to my area can get it touch with me who can help me with some advice is my dream cause I been having really bad times for the last 5 years so I'm getting kind of frustrated thanks for sharing this inspirational videos God bless you all I'm Gaby from California

good luck! hope you get some advice soon :)
❤ excellent content, thanks for sharing 💚🌍
What do you for a kitchen? And toilet requirements?
Love it! ❤️ great job. This is a testimony to exactly why the government should not be able to tell us what we can live in / build on our own property.
Love every bit of this. People could absolutely combine modern ideas with natural living and find or create a balance
Wow, 😲 I love this house, you are amazing
A man after my own heart. I have been wanting to build a home out of mud and straw for well over a decade.I have designed a couple of different styles of homes. It always boils down to having the land. I did have the land once upon a time but for reasons I won’t go into I no longer have that. But I haven’t given up the dream and I think Mexico might be a good option. I do believe in home as a community endeavor and as a community building endeavor. I would like my home to be a form of outreach, that encourages and teaches others to be empowered to build the home of their dreams. People who have been left out of the modern system, and are in substandard housing, still chasing an ideal they’ll never achieve. I would like them to know that they can live with dignity, safety, and in comfort, without being plugged into all that as it only keeps them in a place of subjugation, marginalized, and poverty stricken.
Beautiful words beautiful home beautiful heart ❤
I’ve watch many videos of cob homes trying to get a understand on what type of home I’d like to build but even though he has a small home that’s unsuitable for my family this video was better than any of the other videos about cob homes I’ve found due to his insightful knowledge on the world. I hate how the society is as if you were to google the average home price according to google
As of July 31, 2023, the average home value in Georgia stands at $319,330.
I once strived to purchase a home for my family but 5 months ago I was laid off and my wife and I lost everything besides my car. We had to move back in with my parents and it’s sickening that we are constantly controlled by something we have zero control over. I never wanna go through that again but it goes back to what he said building regulations approval and simply trying to survive in this world only comes down to money. Zero sense of artistic freedom to build a house yet the ability to have a home as a basic right as a species should come standard the moment we are born. Freedom and the option to live domesticated of chosen to do so.
I have felt and thought the same way, for so long. Grant each other the right to feel at home!
I hope it's safe over there, be careful , otherwise I really love the idea of the bed placing, I would enjoy having such a bed.
It’s safer than most places I’d say haha
Hey you guys should do a video on Compressed Earth Blocks.
Most cities won't let you build with Cob but Compressed Earth Blocks are premited in any municipalities using IBC codes. Which is a Ton of municipalities.
So true, everyone having the chance to build their own home, they should teach it in school and how to survive locally. I love your mindset and the video reminds me of my song lyrics for some reason, super rad dude, your a inspiration to this world for sure, Big up Life!

This is taught in all waldorf schools. Education can be what is required right now in human evolution....and why not?
@@BeckaEcka I actually built my own log home and it was one of the best things I have ever done. Thanks for your comment!
This guy made me want to cry so many times.
I freakin love this guy.
- The word that i think seeing your vídeo is CHOICE. The CHOICE manifest! 👏👏👏 Every one of us should have CHOICE. This is the main thing the industrial society loose.
I think your home is beautiful and if its a manifestation of your feelings and health, then you truly must be a healthy, happy person and, that is the very best we can hope to be. Especially if you're mindful of the impact you and your home has on the environment. I think it's lovely and it gives a sense of peace to people viewing it. I would make a door out of reclaimed wood, like in your loft and put those things you see in castles to bar the door, but only use it in extreme weather, it wouldn't have hinges or be permanently attached, just there if it is needed.
Beautiful! This home shows why cob is also known as sculptural adobe.
