Happy Sunday! This week I’m talking about why I no longer want the black and white version of “simple living”, homesteading, slow living, self reliance, off grid living and more!
I don’t think you have to live in a small crappy cabin in the woods to live simply. There are so many ways to do it!
I’m usually building my home from scratch and documenting the journey, but some weeks, it’s nice to take a moment and do something different.
#building #simpleliving #offgrid #selfreliance #homestead
Haters will 100% hate 😅! Remember to be kind! These comments fully sparked this idea of redefining what simple living means for myself! I’d love to know, *what does simple living mean for YOUR lifestyle* 🥰?!
THANK YOU for allowing me to do a different type of video this week. Part of simple living is not getting burnt out by the rat race of life and posting this video allowed me to express my creativity in a different way than usual and I just loved it. Writing was one of my passions in my teens and this felt like a writers craft piece to me that I got to film :). Next week I'll be back to the home build
Growing your own garden is simple living. Unfortunately 8 billion people can access the internet, the odds you'll experience unstable, mentally, let's say inadequate, persons is in the realm of the inevitable. Grain of salt ..
Simply, simplified and enjoy your life
Hi dear
I have lived a simple life all my life and nothing wrong with that. I built my home 30+ years ago and I have a cornfield, garden, livestock and I still have an out house...lol
Yep there will always be ppl that like to hat...keep on with your build my dear...❤🤗🙏
My friends bug me to and here is a kicker I have given up on finding a gf in my area cause the would never move into the country let alone the bush where wild animals are lol .
Collecting Rae Dunn stuff. I don’t need it but I like it. And living life to the fullest Rockstar. You only get one go around above the dirt do whatever your heart desires! Life is too short to worry about what other people think! As long as your adorable family is healthy and happy that’s all that matters! Sending you a big hug!
People are jealous... ignore them
Trolls be trolling! A topic I’ve been wanting to speak on for a while :)
Way more effort to accomplish her goal than most of us are willing to give. Far from "simple". Should be called "high energy" living.
Agreed.
Facts
Biata, Biata. How did you manage to be so wise when so young. Just when I thought I couldn’t admire you more, you post this. Just WOW. Lots of love and respect from the old man in the UK
It's funny I was just thinking the same thing, so young and so smart.
This is really sweet, thank you. My mom and I always chatted and connected. So thankful for her
You cannot please everyone every day. You are AMAZING.
You're so kind. And thank you, it's so true. Can't please everyone!
I came for a catchy title and thumbnail. I stayed for a smart young woman whose enthusiasm and approach to life in general was catching in the best way possible. I have never regretted any moment spent watching your content. You've been a positive thing in a very negative world. Thank you. And while I know it's hard, I appreciate you taking the abuse you get when you are open and honest and interact with your community.
It can't be easy. But you are impacting people very positively! Thank you, again!
Thank you so very much. I have to ask myself, are the negative comments worth it? And sometimes it sucks but my answer is always yes. Always worth the incredible community I get in return. To be able to teach, learn myself, and make an income. So grateful
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata I hope positive interactions continue to outweigh the negative and I strive to do my part! Thank you!
@@Argosh they absolutely do!
Hi Biata, first time commenting from France. Found this quote, so true, "When you do great things, it's hard to please everyone." from Solon. You're doing great, keep going
Yes yes! I love this. Thank you
You are so right, simple living is what makes you fill good and at peace.
Yes! Love this!
No matter how much you try to make your life easier haters always make it harder
Yup haha. Agreed! Trolls gunna troll
They can TRY... .. it's actually really funny that it's impossible
Biata,I love your channel,be happy with what ever you decide,it's for you and your family,not to please everyone else.You are an amazing strong woman, you have knowledge and skills most men don't have I'm proud of you and what you have accomplished.I say you go Girl!! Love ya❤,a consistent fan!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
You are doing what many of us have wanted but for whatever reason haven’t had the courage to do
Awh thank you. It was a really scary leap to take. I didn’t know how we were going to afford it for the first year of doing this channel. A huge leap of faith
Wow. What got into you this week!? Every point in this TED Talk was well reasoned and thought provoking...and pretty energetic. Late spring agrees with you. Time to change the channel name to "Biata Gets it Done!". Just one of the reasons I watch a lot of home building channels and only joined yours.
Hahaha thank you! I love writing and so I was able to write all my thoughts out and film it! It felt so creative to do!
What you have said makes so much sense!!! Many people never "break it down". I've researched this for years and you are spot on!!!
Biata, great to see your honesty and your dreams that you are persuing no matter what others might think or say you are taking this build on for yourself and family, and I say kudos to you for you being you. Keep up the work toward fulfilling your dreams.
Thank you so much!
Biata for me, its not to try and explain or trying to understand what is simple living, I ❤ watching your determination and be brave to learn and do things you don't have any experience with, I learned a lot from you and I loved, you're my mentors, may GOD bless you and family too 💯🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️
Biata, always enjoyable, entertaining, & informative. You & your family are doing an amazing job.
Thank you so much!
You need to do what’s make you and your family happy and not what others expect from you. Please keep on doing what you are doing as it gives you happiness, simple living and creates beautiful memories for ever.
Thank you so much! Happy to do what’s best for my family! This was a huge choice in not doing tiny living or yurt living. Making my family more comfortable. And honestly, after living in a trailer for three years, it’s not the be all end all. It’s great for a season to get ahead for me :)
Biata, you explained this very well. However, you don't need to justify your way of life or the choices you make. I enjoy watching your show. Keep doing what you are doing. It works for me! And obviously, it is working for you! 😊
Great words and topic Biata. Simple living is certainly an individual mentality that can't be replicated by someone else. ❤
Exactly! Thank you!
Always looking forward to a new video each week! This one is so wonderful. You’re life coach material and I’m thankful you can share your perspective with truth, boldness and confidence! Keep up the hard work and can’t wait until next week’s video!
Thank you for your insight! We appreciate all you are doing for your family 😊
I’m diagnosed with ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) otherwise described as Broken Battery Syndrome. My condition is moderate. Meaning I spend less than 4 hours a day with my feet on the ground.
My definition of simple living is energy conservation. Most of my energy goes towards making something to eat.
I now experience life through RUclipsrs.
Thanks for sharing your journey. It aligns so much with what I would want to do again if I could.
Oh wow, that must be so tough. Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective
Love it! Living in a half built cabin in the woods, slowly making progress, and having our boys grow up here is simple living for us. And, in a few years Im sure it will all look different again!
I worked from the age of 6 helping on farms and from 14 to 68 full time , night shifts included 12 plus hrs shifts, some times 40 to 50 days straight, 13 years service in the Air Force. What I forgot to do was to LIVE ? and what I earned was a Heart attack in my late fifties, so now at the age of 70 and with failing health, I'm un employed, single, Pensioned and a prisoner in my own home and garden and in Awe of all the You tubers like yourself whom I follow to see through your Eyes "What I dreamed of when I was younger" but never achieved. Thank you for your excellent video's.
Thank you so much for sharing your life here. Honestly, it can be so so easy to fall into the trap of just working your life away and not living. I’m so sorry about your heart attack. I hope you’re living in a bit more simplicity now. I hope that garden of yours is treating you well. Thanks for sharing your perspective on life. Lots to learn from your years of wisdom
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata Thank you, keep working.
Love your work. Don't look back..❤
Hey! You do you! Don't sweat the small stuff. You ROCK!!
Well said Biata. Very much appreciated.
I love this different... People are eager to know more about you as a person and your thoughts... Thanks for sharing. Couldn't have agreed more!
Thank you Alhan 💛
Haters will hate,make you and your family happy!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing your “simple” to each their own, as you said. My vocation allows my simple, enjoying nature, producing agricultural products, feeling worth by completing a task that makes a difference. I’ve enjoyed watching your progress, your confidence growing, keep asking questions, and thank you for sharing your journey with us. My wife and I spent five years planning, designing, and building our retirement home, in the end it was the journey and sweat equity that was most rewarding. ET
Sending you lots of love. Simple living is what you make it. I love that. I’ve learned I have had to change my vision of what my ‘healthy low tox, natural lifestyle looks like’. Like you, things became very black and white, I’m now on a journey to healing from that and broadening what a low tox, natural, and crunchy lifestyle mean to me.
Love you loads 💛💛💛
So well said!!!! Absolutely LOVED this!
Thank you guys so much!
You tell them Biata!!!! You Rock! So glad I found your channel and you don't know me but I'm very proud to know you. Thanks for sharing... Love to y'all from way down south in Alabama USA.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful journey and accomplishments!...keep up😊
New points of view! Growing with each experience! Kudos
👏🏼👏🏼 thank you!
Have been watching for a while now. Always inspirational and genuine. It's your hard work, your life and your family. Live for them how you see fit and if anyone doesn't like like it, they can kick rocks.
Thank you so much!
Well said Biata, to heck with the naysayers. Stay well, be happy and keep smiling.
Simply living to me means giving up whatever I need to and enjoying my family. I may not have much but whatever I have is there’s. You are a beautiful person and I enjoy watching you grow in your endeavors I will be 70 this year simple living changes over time❤️🙏👩🏻🦳
Love your channel, your right simple living means a different thing to each individual
Hey Biata I am a huge fan of your channel. You speak so well and I appreciate your pov on Simple Living. You are right about everyone having a different way of simple living.
Keep up the great work and give Craig a first bump for me.
Cheers from Australia 😊
You’re so kind, thank you so much
You preach to em girl. Have lived a "simple" for 50 plus years. Took a lot of grief over it, but my family has grown strong from it. Not only physically but mentally. And the only " social media " I have is Ytube a couple hrs a week. Have been watching since you started and would just like to say Thanks.
Good for you for sticking to it! It’s tough some days. I’m sure I’ll feel that way about my wood boiler lol. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video Biata and well said.
People shouldn't bash your videos and content without looking in the mirror first so just don't worry about them. I feel your struggles of exhaustion when it comes to building things. I needed to replace some decking on an old deck this weekend, and ended up changing up the direction of the joists and decking from the original. I'm a little over 40 now and these types of hard work days seem to be taking their toll on me a bit or at least for a few days i feel it. I truly know how you feel by doing things yourself.
Your work and content are great and I urge you to keep with it, keep learning, keep teaching other people, and keep pressing on while also not burning yourself out. Content doesn't always need to be you working on things, and this world is full of people who can attest to the hard work it is in building your own home.
Again great video. Cheers!!!!
Girl, simple living is what you make it. I agree 100% with you. Don't let narrow-minded people put you or your lifestyle in their box. I don't care if you live in a cabin in the woods, a yurt, an apartment in NY, or a small home in Nova Scotia; life is never simple; it always has many levels of complexity for everyone.
I admire the great job you have done! Magnificent ✨
Thank you so much!
Biata, you are so awesome!! As it has been stated before, haters are ALWAYS gonna hate, because they are haters of anyone and everyone who has more ability and/or courage to make goals, and, accomplish them. Keep on doing what you’re doing. It’s amazing and inspiring!!
I absolutely love this one, is so awakening, I being thinking of following something like this, you know " Off grid living ". But I have to think it over. You are so right. Thank you so much mi Amor, GBU ALL 😘 💖. AND HAPPY SPRINGS.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! There’s truly so much to think over! It took me so long making many of my decisions for this build!
So very well said❤ You are a kindred spirit 😊. You are inspiring
Awh thank you
You are doing a great job!!!!
Good for you biatta you live like you want to oh and hi to Craig ❤
Thank you so much! Hopefully I’ll get Craig back soon!
You nailed it, well spoken!
Thank you so much!
Hi Biata, Well spoken, nothing to add to it!!
Thank you!
Life and all its definitions are an individuals' interpretation! You owe no one an explanation for yours! I love all of your videos and admire you for sharing your journey! I'm a fan ! You go girl!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I was happy to share my story and life!
I agree, rarely in life are things black and white. I admire the way you have personalized simple living
Biata u are awesome & amazing with everything u do. ❤️😎✌️
We enjoy ur content Biata!Dont let these negative people pull u down!
Thank you! The kind comments outweigh the negative!
AWESOME WORDS, Keep doing what you do
Thank you!
Biata I totally agree with you with everything u said dont worry about what people say...ur doing an awesome job with ur house...I really can see that ur happy and ur proud of ur house...stay positive..
And when are u putting siding on ur house? Or are u going to start installing sheetrock?...whatever u decide I'm sure ur going to do an awesome job...keep up the good work...this is conrad from corpus christi texas....👍
You are inspirational, Great content, a wealth of knowledge being so young, You and your family are so lucky, Stay safe keep up the great work look forward to next Sunday, From France,
You live your life style the way you want, there will always be naysayers. I think you are doing a fantastic job and enjoy watching you do it.
God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
Well said Biata, you are so right. Ive tried it all….lots of possessions with no time to use them. Simple builds with reclaimed lumber are always the most fulfilling but always seem to end up being the most expensive. Does it matter? Not at all as long as your goal was dreamed and achieved. To live simple is most likely achieved when personal growth and family are in sync. Almost 71 years young and I still change course on a whim but do it without regret.😊
Thanks for sharing this! I also seem to make changes on a whim lol
It's your life,,, YOU LIVE IT !
Biata forget those nasty people , an other RUclips channel had those for a few years and decided that they bring views on his channel . He just decided for his own sanity to forget about them and live a more relax life . I love to see the fightingness in you .
Carry on what you do . ❤from sunny Scotland
You are fantastic. I live sort of simply. I don’t waste money but if my wife and I wants something or to go somewhere we go.
Awh this is very sweet for you and your wife. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
A side of all your other video´s, this by far your best video. Standing your ground and teaching your hater´s made this so special. Chapeau
Now to your question: I have no answer bc. everyone is different and makes other prioreties.
Awh thanks for this. I was truly just inspired for so long to do this video! Turn hate into love!
Very well said👍
This is your best video yet! You were happy and upbeat throughout the whole video. You didn't seem depressed at all, whereas in some of your past videos I think you were fighting depression as well as other health issues. Thanks for your hard work making all this content. I only live an hour or so away from you, BUT you will never see me on your doorstep.
I was just sooo burnt out this past winter. Doing to much for others that I couldn’t share here. I feel much better now 😊
Biata, you went with what you wanted to go with, that is your right!
As always, you present with well thought out and simple elegance. Ignore the naysayers B, you continue to be you.
Thank you for sharing your dream 🥰🥰🥰
You're truly excelling, and it fills me with pride to witness the incredible strides you've made. Keep pushing forward, and let the negativity of detractors simply slide off you like water off a duck's back. Remember, greatness is often met with resistance, but it's your perseverance that will shine through. Forget the haters, and let your success speak volumes.
Greatness is often met with resistance. That’s so true. Thank you so much
I love this! 100% true!! ❤️
Well said Biata!
Good on you, I've been following you for a while and have been very impressed, even more so now....
Awh thank you so kindly for this
Good morning Biata!
Morning! Happy Sunday!
Very nice 👍
You are the best👍
Smart girl, way to think it out. Everything you are saying is so true make your life what want. You doing a great job and your progress shows.
Thank you so very much!
Great video !!!!
My husband Carl and I are so proud of you! This video brought tears to my eyes! Simple,slow off grid, frugal and more are what you personally need and want it to be. I'm grateful you're sharing your journey and hard work with us! I'm amazed at what you're capable of doing!
It's important for us to seek God's will& wisdom,especially for our dreams. I hope and pray that He always provides for you and your family and blesses you abundantly forever 🙏 ❤️
Enjoy your weekend and your progress!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Have a great week :)
Awe, thank you 😊
Well said!
I totally agree with you. Simple living is whatever lifestyle brings you joy and peace without interfering with the joy and peace of those around you. That could mean streamlining your expenses so you can live without worry over bills or increasing your income to accomplish the same thing. I'm certain the early settlers did not consider their self-sufficient lifestyle "simple". It was backbreaking hard work. City living can be just as "simple" as rural homesteading. I admire your choices, determination, and self-awareness.
you sound very logical and still on your terms
Biata, I have been watching your channel from almost the beginning and I am blown away by this weeks' video. This video touched a nerve with me as I am a former public school teacher who would work hard to help my students and still get occasional criticism from students and parents. You showed a lot of class in your response to the "trolls" and their negative comments and then responded with depth and intelligence on "Simple Living". Good for you!
Awh thank you! Teachers are so needed! I am just so thankful for my daughters teacher!
🎉 love your honesty. Nothing is free nowadays in Australia. I own my farm outright, but still get bills left right and centre for rates, insurance and power,. Nothing is free off grid anymore.😢
Hi Biata! I 100% agree with you. Simple living is different for everyone. I was having a similar conversation with a friend this week. He is a city boy who doesn't understand the appeal of being able to pick fruit straight from a tree or collect fresh eggs each day when in his words it's easier just to go to a supermarket. I'm trying to build my own fruit shop in my garden, I've 25 fruit trees now and at the end of the year I hope to be able to get at least 10 more. Anyway, I think this video was very informative and shows what different people think and can bring up conversations about simple living and consumerism. Looking forward to seeing you next week, take care, Naomi x
Tune out the noise, Biata. You’re doing great and should be proud of yourself. Anyone trying to bring you down is simply unfulfilled in their own life, otherwise they would be able to see how inspiring you are, at such a young age no less. Keep living your best life! Good vibes only!
All of the above 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
There are people out there that for some reason just have to be negative. You live your life, you seem to be a wonderful person and I thank you for sharing this part of your life with the world. I love watching your videos and it is nice to see you even show your mistakes it show that you are real. No one is perfect. Keep up the good works and don't let them haters get you down. Remeber that for every one of they they are thousands of us who care.
It's the same in the off-grid community. I'm off-grid, just not in your typical cabin in the woods with an outhouse. The gate-keeping is tiresome...
It’s crazy eh?! No need to gatekeeper :)
Gatekeep*
I agree with you 100%! Well spoken! I'm going through a similar DIY homestead build situation outside of North Bay. Maybe I should get on RUclips. 🤔 keep up the great work!
Very cool! And thank you! RUclips is a ton of work and it will definitely take you longer to build but I think it’s worth it lol. This video only took me maybe 6-8 hours to edit. Usually my vlogs take me 15-20 hours to edit.
I think you are doing amazing job and just be yourself and don't worry about the hates and good luck and be safe and God bless you and see you next Sunday
I love this video cant wait to see more .. dont for get this is the time to get ready for winter last year u did not have Enough wood .. and most of it was wet ..we only have 4 months b4 winter hits
Thank you so much! Honestly I have been STRESSING going to bed at night trying to figure out what weeks we’re going to spend processing wood
I think you're doing great and I love the channel. You're very brave to even attempt what you've done. Don't worry about the negative people, all channels have them and they're,meaningless
Biata , I love your show, Don’t let the haters bring you down to their level, they are not worth it. You are doing a almost perfect job, for a person that never did anything in the building trades. As I said before I really love your channel, don’t change anything even yourself ! Have a wonderful life ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Haters gonna hate! Turn the hate into love and inspiration!
You do YOU!
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself to anyone!!! People are jealous of your achievements, so just keep doing what you’re doing & live your dream. Just keep the videos coming, the wife and I really enjoy your channel & watching your skills. You’re not afraid to try things on your own!!!!!!👍🏻
Biata, first and foremost, hi from the UK, I wish when I was younger, I had the courage , time and mentality, to do what you are doing, don't worry what anyone says to you on here, you are amazing, I look forward to watching you every week, and don't worry about making small mistakes, you're only human, keep up the great work, and thankyou for putting out great content.
Do it your way my dear, I look forward to your videos. As a 79 year old, I did it my way and I don't regret it.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you did it your way!
My simple life is on the edge of a major city. Good luck to you.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Doing what makes you happy and not giving a F what anyone thinks.
Assuming you're not hurting anyone!!
Keep up the great work love your videos enjoy life and if things make working easier get it life is short.
Thank you! Agreed, life is so short. Enjoy it!
