Living Simply in a Tiny House on a Homestead in the City
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Welcome to my tiny house in Orlando, Florida where I live simply and sustainably! I built this tiny house along with friends for under $1,500, with nearly 100% secondhand materials and while creating near zero waste- just 30 pounds of trash!
This setup allows me to live simply so that I can dedicate my time to the service of others and the earth. It also serves as a demonstration site for those who desire to live simply and sustainably.
In this tour I show you the inside of my tiny 100 square foot house, my outdoor kitchen with greywater, my rainwater shower and rainwater collection system, my closed loop compost toilet, my garden and more!
I also discuss minimalism, simple living, voluntary simplicity and more.
I have created an FAQ to answer most every question that has arisen about my tiny house. You can read that at www.robingreenfield.org/tinyho...
To learn about the build and more details you can watch this video and read this guide: robingreenfield.org/tinyhouseb...

This man was probably a monk in his past life. To have his minimalist mindset does not come naturally to most people, especially in this materialistic country.
I think it's not natural because there is unfortunately a huge disconnect with nature
I love moving and giving away possessions. Ironically when I left California, I donated my favorite kitchen table to someone in need. When I got to Minnesota the church donated me the same exact wooden table.
It's as if when we connect to the world and environment in a giving positive way, it gives back without our asking :)
Law of attraction perhaps
God is good
SHUTTT!! UPPP!! That’s so cool! I can’t believe it was the same exact table! That’s incredible to me!
@@mariahmartinez868 I was literally just telling someone this story 😇
That is our life in the Philippines,very simple but with a lot of smile in our face..
Naomi Elumbaring material posession cannot make us happy.cheers
That is very wonderful to hear Naomi. Sending love!
Naomi Elumbaring , nice 👍
Rob M you are an incredible individual! I have a lot of respect and admiration for you! I wish you all of the happiness, health love and joy!
Hahah wala kasing pambili eh kaya ganito mga bahay natin dito sa pilipinas.. hehehe sa probinysa kung saan lahat pantay2 syempre masaya kasi an lawak ng matatakbohan tsaka less stress.. wala kahit anong maraming makikitang ka artehan.. simple lahat pantay kya masaya nakakapag smile talaga pero pag sa city pag may pera ka lang tsaka kapa magsmile haha..
You don’t need health insurance or money the way you live your the healthiest thing on the planet! You go!!
I aspire to be like you! You are such an amazing human with a gold heart.
Agreed.
Hello Jaun! Here are some places to start!
www.robgreenfield.tv/12
Sending love!
Thank you so much for talking about minimal clothing. Some people look at me like I am crazy when I try to remind them that there are enough clothes and textiles already made on this earth.
I love you use the word "possessions" for EVERYTHING. That really is what is is... you cant take it with you when you leave this earth
Rob has the mindset that can save the human relationship with Earth, and he's empowering other people to live with environmental ethics. This type of information is vital for our future. I admire his efforts, and will continue to learn from him. Thank you.
@Cosmin Costea have you ever built a real house? It produces 1000x more waste than Rob did in years. All I'm saying is he knows how to live sustainably, he knows how to give future generations a world that isn't polluted and wasted on fast, wasteful construction / consumption
Wow. I don't know what to say. I have been feeling so stuck in the "rat race" lately. It has been weighing so heavy on me mentally the past few weeks, this video was randomly recommended and I can say it has probably changed my life. It has inspired me to totally change my life.
It was nice meeting you
You're a good man, Rob. Hope you chose a 4 season climate next. Be fun to watch you navigate the seasons.
would be a whole lot of roadkill, fishing, salad and wood chopping, temperate climates suck
Rob is a man after my own heart!
Just imagine how much energy is needed to watch your videos on all those smartphones and computers. a lot. But. Imagine your impact on the viewer. a huge. thank you for your great work, I love you
Probably the same amount used otherwise. People would just be watching something else, probably something less useful.
@@baddriversofcolga that is also right.
Certainly something that needs to be accounted for. I do this because I believe that it is worth it and makes the difference I am striving for. I've thought about this and much deeper threads of this for countless hours.
I watch youtube at a much lower resolution, normally 360p (click on the cog to change), to much reduce the data downloaded and the energy required to power the server infrastructure.
@@Robin.Greenfield Everything has an impact but the electronic impact vs the positive impact of your lifestyle and the education for others is negligible. GOOD IDEAS NEED DISTRIBUTION AND THERE IS NO MORE EFFECTIVE MEANS THAN DOING THIS. Great work!
You are doing good things for the world.
I can easily see your lifestyle becoming the norm in the next 5-10 years. Hopefully I will be able to more closely follow your exemplary example soon.
I hope so
And the Nobel prize goes to!
Rob Greenfield!!!!
There are far more deserving people. Perhaps if I work really hard for another few decades I would be deserving.
Great job Rob. It's been a dry year here in florida and I'm very impressed with your progress. I really hope this opens some peoples eyes to the possibilities of sustainable living.
Same here in Atlanta. Hot and dry this year.
Thanks Sember! Sending lots of love to you!
I am agreed with you.
Many times we enjoy our pleasure which is others burden. It is called nature balancing.
I could listen to Rob talk of poop for hours.
So, I was inspired by Rob’s minimal lifestyle and am selling my rare cult cinema collection. It’s the first step - everything after that should be easy-peasy.
LOVE THIS IS FREEDOM AND NATURAL LIVING BY DESIGN
Everyone gangsta until a new neighbour comes and tries to out garden your garden.
Your banana trees are beautiful. 👍❤
Very inspirational life...Simple but full of smile and love.....😘👍
Now ate going too go back home next were you were on a break. I didn't have too worry about it having lettuce grow this year . I just used Polk greens,lambs quarter,dandelions,purse lane,plantain,and violets. And asparagus and rhubarb.
wow, this guy has more possessions than I have ever had. All I need fits into my tiny backpack.
i hope wherever you go you show more of the process. you never show plantings, young plants, foraging, fishing etc. these are all things id like to see as well. stuff in jars and stuff ripe in the garden is such a small fraction of what you do
I wish I had the time and ability to show everything I do. But video production is very time consuming and since I don't have things monetized I mostly work with volunteers, so I have limited help.
@@Robin.Greenfield thats fair, even rough and quick phone/camcorder clips added to a main video would be good.
I'm so inspired to grow my own food! I dont own any land but that wont stop me, I container gardened this year. I never thought it was a possibility to ask a neighbor who doesnt use their lawn I might just have to do that!
omg you should totally go for it. I'm sure it'd be nice for them to have somebody maintain their lawn and maybe get a share of the fruits and veg :P
Here's a helpful article for that: sustainableamerica.org/blog/this-guy-is-growing-all-of-his-food-on-other-peoples-land/
Thank you for inspiring me to live more sustainaby. Never met a man I would ask out. Hey Rob. Picnic? Lol
Totally agree that the comfort most people have is not sustainable! Life is not meant to be that easy, and it feels great to us to also take control over all aspects of our life, even the 'dirty' ones.
Because of Rob I have a faith in humanity again. Thx
Such a Beautiful Soul...
It is amazing how you are able to take care of your need. I don't think I can do what you do....but I applaud your way of life...all very well plan...take care....MINDY
Here's some things YOU can do Mindy! www.robgreenfield.tv/12
I used to live like this for 3 years. Showers outdoors from a huge pot heated on the fire. living in a rent free shack in the mountains 3M x 3M (10ft square) with up to 4 other people at times. Sometimes alone. Now my life is a mess and i have 10million possessions and a house, 5 vehicles :D
I miss tiny already 💔😭
Live simply so others can simply live 🌾
The most impressive part of this video was when you said "very few fruit flies" without skipping a beat. :D Great work brother!!!
I love the way you think about things. So refreshing!!!!
I am in my minalism journey for 4 years. But started minimalism journey (with a mindset to practice zero waste living - i am not perfect at this) for 1 year. I truely hope to be like you one day, to just own 100 items or really to challenge my space and reduce time to make sure I can maintain a just enough items to live mindfully. I have experiences the highs and lows of the process of decluttering but I think there is a big wave of multiple phases during the begining of minimalism. Decluttering MINDFULLY is something everyone should really consider doing and that it really does take a lot of time and energy (can be years). I went from 800+ items in my wardrobe, including accessories, shoes and bags down to 108 items. I first really had to focus on what my goals will be for the 10 months span / 1 yr span depending on how long the declutter would take me. Wow I am still in the process ofdecluttering mindfully. Now what I mean by decluttering my wardrobe mindfully, I mean to not donate my items and throw it out in the trash bin. Why? Because they all end up going into the landfill (may not all but donated items do end up being sold to 3 world countries or being tossed to the trash) they can out hold that many items in a donation centre. We need to be more careful of how we say goodbye to these items. And this is something no body HARDLY talks about. It's the dark side that ppl want to avoid. We need to educate people the dark side and that hard part of minimalizing to live a meaningful life, because IF you avoid this process I honestly do not understand how someone can learn to not revert back to their excessive lifestyle. I imagine it would take them twice as long to get there compared to ppl who have descarded their items mindfully. It seriously helps you learn a lot of your habbits/hobbies/and unbuying items is seriously hard.
hi from Russia and thanks for subtitles
You are truly instrumental for me to consider my ways. I am learning from you. May the God who created the Earth keep you all well, spirit, soul and body. Love lots! 💕
Not being attached ,nice to hear that.
I ran across your channel by chance and I'm leaving your channel with a new sense of perspective and gratitude. I would love to see how someone lives a life similar to yours that has a family with has multiple children that needs things like a car, carseats, toys, etc.
Rob, we will miss you! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience and knowledge. I look forward to the next video and November's meeting!
It would be interesting and helpful if you would go to an average home where people want to but don't know where to start and how to take a small step to be better, and show some ways that they can do that. It might help some people including myself to implement changes. You're advanced and have so much knowledge that it seems too big of a leap. Small steps for people living in an average home (seeing their successes and failures and process) could be a great resource.
Here's a guide I wrote for that: www.robgreenfield.tv/houseguide
Fantastic. Love your mission, and your solutions. TY for showing us ways to be better, even if perfect ( for me) seems far away!
You are truly an inspiration to me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Respects to you from PR🇵🇷👊🏻
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jorge Rodriguez He needs to move to PR. He will have so much to do. 😁😁😁
You're an inspiration and I think its most admirable what you"re doing.
Respect 😊❤
I love how you live. Wonderful mindset!
that tiolet paper is brilliant I gonna grow that plant
I love this so so much
Cant wait to see where you go next! We're planning to (after somehow saving up the money) move out of a crappy renting environment, onto our own bit of land, and sustainabily live here in texas. The complication is both our jobs require technology, and so thats been a grueling process of trying to find a place 'near' work, that has all of our needs, that we can have our dogs on. (One is a pitbull and you know how people are about that).
Ever video you post is so enlightening and encouraging. Please keep posting. Heres to hoping you make a series one day on living in the cold climates, or one in the disaster areas (like texas after the hurricans and flooding, which has left people without food or homes) Just to show people it is possible, and to help out others too.
Thank you again, for sharing your journey!
So proud of you, mate. Keep it up, and can’t wait to see what you’re up to next. Best to you, brother, with ya in spirit.
GREAT ROB!!, GREAT WONDERFUL WORK TEACHING OTHERS IN A REALLY SUSTAINABLE WAY OF LIVING!!!. INSPIRADOR, THANKS TOO!.
I would love to build a little cabin in the country. But since I live in a cold climate I would need a bathroom and kitchen inside. I would love to downsize and grow my own food and live in a community where people cooperate and help each other. I would love to learn more about stainable living.
This is an admirable goal and lifestyle. This would work in warmer climates but not in cold regions. You would need more clothing, heating and so forth.
Hi Rob,Im in the uk and have been following you the last 2 weeks, I do grow some of my own food and I'm trying to find ways to cut down on waste.I've just sold my house for something smaller and already packed up waiting for a date to move! I shall be planting fruit bushes etc but have got to figure out the lie of the land as it's a lot smaller where I'm going. I'm very interested to see where you go from here and am very much looking forward to the next update :)
I will be in the UK speaking in 2020, so hopefully you can come out to a talk. I'll be updating my talks here as I set them up: www.robgreenfield.tv/wst
@@Robin.Greenfield Please come to Glastonbury (the town, not the festival ☺️ )
if you are interested in fruit i suggest you move somewhere tropical where you can grow banana and papaya as they fruit all year round in the tropics fruit is more of a treat in the temps
@@veganchiefwarrior6444 I move on monday,I'm happy here in the uk,but I'm planning to have a polytunnel or large greenhouse to try and grow food all year round.I have to plan it all first.
@@tracyvernon2426 im sure you kow of charles downing? he grows foos all year round in the uk, maybe not fruit, but you can deffinatly grow something all year round
You're an inspiration to me. Thank you
Big op. From Kenya. Love this.
We love you very much also, so always keep in touch!

So stay tuned!

@@Robin.Greenfield cool!
Gracias Gracias Gracias por tu contribución, saludos desde Perú!!
Maybe you already have (I’ll check after the vid) but if not, can you pleaseee make a long cookbook with like 365 plant based meals or off grid meals you’ve been eating and living off of? That would be the first book I’d purchase and the first book I’d be extremely excited to own lol
It's unlikely. Here's something you might like though: www.robgreenfield.tv/foodfreedomphotos
Amazing!

Thanks Rob G amazing 👍👍
Great job! Thanks for all your inspiration!
This is an eye opening thank you 🙏
Oh I wish those poor street kids I have come to know in Accra Ghana knew about more of this! It is illegal for them to harvest any rainwater, what little there is. If only they could replicate half your success! Thank you so much for all the great teaching.
I love this little house.
Very cute!
👍💞💞💞💞💞👍
i love this
Outstanding video, like everything you always do. I so much enjoyed finding out more about you.
I love it all! you are living the dream! I can't wait to see where you land next!
Exactly... Food like substances
I've been following you through this journey and I'm excited to see where your next adventure takes you : )
Very much inspiring🌟
Love you, Rob. Thanks again for being an inspiration.
You are such an inspiration! Thank you Rob
You're such an inspiration!
You inspire so many ! Been watching your videos a long while now. My how far you have come. Safe travels, my young friend. Keep that great smile ,Rob !
So cool
Thanks for your year of growing and foraging. Your videos and Pete’s videos about your experience have been an inspiration. My wife screamed when you ate the first bite of sauerkraut from the storage hole but now has reconsidered our own ferments storage. Cheers!
Truly inspiring. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Love your lifestyle Mr. Greenfield.
Thanks for the overview!
Thank you for your wisdom and teachings, love you
Move to Maine brother! Its nice!
Would love to see you do this again somewhere else! Wisconsin?
Gracie M - So many people are just horrible listeners. It is not being demolished. It is on someone else’s property. They let him live there if he put in a garden for them and maintained it. He is disassembling the structures and moving them to a sustainable center where they will be reconstructed and used.
Beautiful to see someone doing this! I love your life!
You are truly inspiring.
