INCREDIBLE Tiny House OFF-GRID HOMESTEAD | SELF-BUILT

  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
  • Nobu built this tucked-away Tiny House Off-Grid Homestead from scratch to create a place for his family to live in harmony with nature. Three years ago, he and his wife Kei moved to the Japanese countryside to start living off-grid, building two tiny houses, growing their own food, foraging, and working with local material like bamboo. They are aiming to live sustainably and are raising their boy, Terra, rooted to the land. This is simply a great real-world example of permaculture.

    I love Nobu's attitude. We have been homesteading for over a decade, and I can say it is never easy, but his can-do perspective is inspiring and heartwarming. He nailed it when he spoke about community, because once you've mastered the myriad challenges of homesteading, it is giving back to the community that creates the continuity of generations. Banpuku.

    My biggest dream was to move to Japan with my wife and live off the land . Meet good farmers who can teach and hire for help , after research it seems the visa process brings more complications that it’s taking us longer than we expected and then Covid hit the world . Plans are now stagnated and the place I live is just getting more corrupt and unhealthy . That would be America , learning Japanese aswell so hopeful that if nothing bad happens in the next 5 years I will soon leave to Japan and pursue farming off the grid . If that’s even possible

    Beautiful video showcasing a wonderful man and his dream come-to-life. His home place is so dynamic and inviting, and seeing everything he and his wife have created brings happiness and peace to us viewers. Would be great to see more of Nobu's daily activities -- the earth-oven being used, the food being prepared. Such happy simplicity, yet so rich and valuable!
