I love it. You gave a bunch of real, hard truths like the mold and the boring beetle and the mosquito net and the pony wall on your A-frame how all those things are necessary. Real down to earth advice. Nice video
Those slippers are so popular in Hawaii. You and your neighbor guy are so talented I sing whatever is near you on your property. You all should be so proud of yourself and the best thing in “THERE IS NO MORTGAGE 👏👏👏❤️AWESOME!!!!!” Happy Living in your own comfort….do you have lots of pigs that is Hawaii biggest problem
Livin the offgrid dream! Thanks for reminding me that we can do this on a budget. Ive done it before and need to do it again! Thanks for the inspiration!
Very smart! Love the plastic roof design. We are currently building a greenhouse using the same roofing and prepping for the day we build our tiny house when we move to Big Island.
I know this man!!! I slept there, took a shit there, ate there!! Really comfort!!! Amazing job brother Dollwet!!! The lord sends his great armies to protect you during winter!!!
Thank you for teaching us how to use guava wood. We also try to use branches that fall down on our property. Always nice to run into someone like-minded
@@Offgrid_Neighbors808do you have an email where I can contact you? I have an acre in HPP and was interested in asking a few questiong about how you developed your land
AMAZING, I always wanted to do what you're doing. Unfortunately, I moved back to the mainland in 1992. I just didn't know where to start, but I guess the only way to do it is to start with nothing and grow with that, but you've done a really GREAT job! It still might be in my future, that's what I'm wishing any way.
Aloha neighbor, we met at my work in Hilo but we live off of Leila in FF. Just wanted to tell you that I enjoy your videos very much. I always love seeing all the different ways that our neighbors use this jungle to suit their needs. I hope to get a couple weekends of cleaning up our overgrowth in soon, maybe after that, you'd consider doing an episode on our place. It's not much but it is unique in several ways.
Love ❤️ your video. You really taking time to explain each trees, so awesome . So many fruits on your property. What’s the cost of the land and how many acres
Aloha just found your channel i lived in Hawaii 16 years i sure miss it! Great job and so so Beautiful love your channel im a RUclipsr too. Anyway i like your channel 😊❤ Aloha
Very nice house and property you have. I especially like the clear roof. How did it fair in the recent strong hurricanes? Any damage to your structures? I saw many other homes in the video. Are they your cabins and tents? Do you rent them out? Welcome to RUclips! I'm excited to see future videos with your garden in full production.
The plastic panels holds up really good in high winds if you have them screwed down good! So my buddy lives in the front and I live in the back, we don’t rent any of our structures out
Nope. Born and raised in Hawaii, you need to fill in those cracks in between the boards on your walls, and put in windows and screens. Otherwise, you'll have roaches and centipedes getting into everything, including your bed. Trust me, you don't want that! Also, if you smell mold or mildew, ffs, do something about it pronto, or it will worsen so incredibly fast, your head will spin! Honestly, I couldn't finish watching this video. I've seen so many people come, fail, and go. When all they had to do was ask. Locals, like me, are willing to help! But only a few listen.
Yikes. I just came from your catch and cook video. Seems like you're on a different Island but I can confirm on Kauai the Planning Department has employees who's jobs are browsing social media, craigslist, you name it to find easily confirmed building permit violations on farms and co-living properties. I would suggest not advertising the lifestyle on youtube and focus your channel on other aspects of your life.

I can say by my personal experience that with good ventilation, which this house has, clear plastic roofing is a good idea if you don’t want to grow mold in your house. Tinted roofing is okay too. What is your experience like working with plastic roofing?
@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 I can understand that logic. I think keeping things open works best, regardless of roofing material choice. Lots of people get mold because of bad airflow. I just like to read sometimes during the day and or take a nap. Maybe you have a separate area for those things, I don't know. I think people would realize their blunder when they can't use those spaces during the day.
@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 thanks man, best wishes to you. i strive to be doing what you’re doing 🙏 any tips on how you saved enough money to purchase your land? how were you able to save?
It’s really comfortable because there’s tons of airflow/ventilation. We need natural light to prevent mold. Trust me, I lived in a normal home before with insulation and eve to thing was molding left to right
Nice work dude!!! Living the dream! Do you do any fishing?
Thanks! I go Sometimes

I’d say buy land with a cabin on it and start farming it!
There’s so many good resources here that can help you on your journey!
Aloha. New subscriber to your channel. We’re Enjoying the off grid ideas, gardens and living experiences for you and friends.

Looks good
Nice A-frame, cozy and lots of light too; love it . I live in the Big Island, but nit off grud

Beautiful home and farm. Aloha! ❤❤❤
You are a great teacher! Mahalo nui. Former resident, missing the island. You've done soo much work! Holy cow!
Your neighbor has a great place too! Ohia ladder! ❤❤❤
Really nice guys.
Thank you so much!
You should waterproof your wood. And seal up any cracks that let air in for mold to get through.
Lots of ongoing projects, and you’re doing great with all your land space
Thank you 😊
Excellent vid thanks for sharing
Mahalo for the support! 🤙🏼
Love ❤️ your video. You really taking time to explain each trees, so awesome . So many fruits on your property. What’s the cost of the land and how many acres
Thank you! More to come!
If there’s any specific questions you have or video ideas let me know (:

@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 Thanks for responding. Good to know they hold up well in storms.
cool! I also have clear roof on my little cabin in Mt View Hawaii. I built mine out of cedar fence wood.and guava wood looks a bit similar to yours.
Awesome!
is your build permitted? im wondering how many people get away without building with a permit. permits are too expensive and what not

Impressive! Beatiful homestead & phenomenal structures you've built. what is the average temp at your elevation?
Oh thanks so much!
I think I’m at around 2000ft to 2200ft range
Looks like Fern Forest. I USED TO live on Kaleponi & Lower Middle Road, right on the corner, 2011-19
Can’t tell you which neighborhood we are in, but thanks for watching!
This is awesome man! It looks like you're in the Fern Forest area on the Big Island?
Thanks! Can’t tell you my location, but thanks for watching!
Aloha I’m on B.I too. I’m interested in trading the building bamboo. I have many plants I can trade. Let me know.
23 years for me on the big island.
hi great video how did you slab up the wood? thanks
I bought the slabs of wood from a guy on Craigslist
Thanks for watching!
You should do a video on how you make a living off grid
Okay, thanks!
How about the land? you bought/renting it?

Where do you get that Tongan spinach from?
Just get connected to your local homesteaders and someone near you should have it. If not let me know and I’ll hook you up
How much was the land and how big is the plot?
3 acres, can’t disclose price sorry 🤙🏼
Thank you
I don’t care what ppl said about you…but you are doing a nice job bro 😎…love what you build
Thanks man! Haters going to hate!
Love the infos but watch the soundtrack. Good luck
Nice stainless sink.
It’s hard to come by, but lasts for ever
I would strongly advise against using clear plastic roofing. I bet that house is a literal sauna on a sunny day.
I can say by my personal experience that with good ventilation, which this house has, clear plastic roofing is a good idea if you don’t want to grow mold in your house. Tinted roofing is okay too.

@@wMerlinw
Yes totally. I have 3 structures. And only this one is clear roofing. But all have good airflow. Airflow is absolute key
did you build with a building permit?
😉
@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 Yea thats what i was thinking lol, i just get paranoid someone gna come knock down my hard working build
@@ju.555
The county is public servants. They only move when someone complains.
Out of sight, out of mind….
@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 thanks man, best wishes to you. i strive to be doing what you’re doing 🙏 any tips on how you saved enough money to purchase your land? how were you able to save?
@@ju.555
That’s a whole another chapter of conversation. But basically, spend less than you earn. And be patient and invest at the right time
Where’s the weed garden?
No weed garden yet!
Nice
I, looking to do the same I'm looking for an offgrud affordable land do you know of any Zillow doe9really list all
👍👍
You made youreself a green house, with that clear plastic roof.no wonder its hot and moldy mate. I dont know how you live in that.
It’s really comfortable because there’s tons of airflow/ventilation. We need natural light to prevent mold. Trust me, I lived in a normal home before with insulation and eve to thing was molding left to right
