I DID IT! For an entire year I grew and foraged 100% of my food. No grocery stores, no restaurants, not even a drink at a bar. Nature has been my garden, my pantry and my pharmacy. Here's the story of my year: ruclips.net/video/nX4kq4QfYRA/видео.html
Hi Rob! Really admirable what u r doing. I watch another youtuber who actually do the same as u did. Here's a link to her channel: ruclips.net/channel/UCoC47do520os_4DBMEFGg4A She does everything, from planting and growing everything she cooks herself, to even making her own furnitures and clothes.. maybe u can also check her out.
Would be great with more videos about all your food projects, anything from harvesting pigeon peas to making coconuat oil, foraging coconuts etc. I'd watch all of it :D
Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to become a successful grape grower minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Nice idea! My recommendation is "do what you can" and don't worry about what you can't. Many people give up because they "can't do much". Just remember, if you can say "I can't do much" it means you "Can do some"
Patricia Russell i had a neighbour back in PA who was retire and every spring and summer he gardened veggies and gave to the neighboors and was super awesome.
The eyes will almost always tell you which it is... And the guy's got those crazy eyes... The kind of eyes that you back away slowly from. I watched one of his videos from when he lived in San Diego, and he was a little weird. However, he didn't have the wide darting eyes yet.
The main reason why you are so successful is that you just take "just enough" and not greedy like most people. The more you share, the more you will always have. Stay blessed.
SO great! We do the same thing as far as growing almost all our food, easy with container gardening and in the ground too, and getting others to do the same thing, thanks!
I think it should be interesting to make a video when you do a blood, health check in half way and in the end. It would be very powerful, informativ and great to see
@@123Homefree What substance exactly would give away, that he's still dumpstering? I'd be really interested how you could know that, looking at his blood statistics. Are you a little bit jelous by any chance?
First i saw how you build your tiny house, and now you are helping the neighborhood how to grow plants. You really save a lot of money if can get it front of your yard.. i love watching you simple living with a healthy life style.
I was like number 500. Rob Greenfield I own and live on a new two acre homestead and I am seeking to grow all my own food and all my wife and four children and families own food and sale the rest for profits. Feel free to come stay on my land in my spare bedroom or my airstream or a tent or wikiup or whatever if you ever wanna stay in Oklahoma and help me figure this lifestyle out.
I admire you muchly Rob, first saw you on GreenDreams and thanks to Pete I now have created a food forest in my Lake Placid, Fl. homestead, only a quarter acre, but I forage my yard every day...at my age almost 70 or your age 'YOUNG' we need to honor and respect ourselves and the Earth and this ol' granny is still on the move, what do I plant next...oh, did I mention you are a twin to my 31 year old G-son, even your voice...much kudos kid...!!!
You are eating so healthy I don't see you needing medicine! I would say you are on one of the best diets a man could be on... thanks for always inspiring me to do and be more! 💗
@@123Homefree Well I don't expect him to be perfect... I don't even care if he cheats... everyone cheats. I still have done amazing things because he has inspired me to do so.
Regarding your heat/fermentation issue, get yourself a good sized cooler, dig a hole in the ground line it with stone and put the cooler inside and fill with your jars. A piece of plywood works well for a cover. A rock will keep the plywood in place, I think you will be happy with the coolness it would provide
Hello Rob you are such an inspiration and BLESSING for many of us! Responsible and kind to Mother Earth not like most people in deep illusion. Let's wake them up....
I am amazed that you are showing most of the plants that we grew in the farm while I was growing up. Your video simply summarized the effort my father has gone through in feeding us. He was a farmer and we grew our food. Now, I am trying to grow my vegetables and some of my fruits: papaya, dragon fruit, pomelo, lanzones, guayabano. Thank you for the videos that you have shared so far. I found them to be a source of inspiration (telling me that other people are caring for the earth too), and a source of guidance (difficulty has some solution and normally, the solution comes from people who have faced them). Good luck. More blessings!
So... im a church pastor- watching this video is so mindowing- you need to come to my community- teach us how to treat the earth holistically well. You are the man. I need to learn so much from your initiatives
Michelle Lockett probably because the powers that be don’t want to be sued if someone were to claim that they got sick from eating fruit from their trees. They would most likely use pesticides, etc which may cause problems for some people. Just a guess. (Oh, and I can just imagine all the cores/skins/remains of the fruit thrown on the ground! Lol)
It's incredible to see what you are doing Rob. It goes some way to restoring my faith in humanity. Too often we "forget" what its like to live a simplistic lifestyle that focuses on encouraging and helping others to do the same. I applaud all your efforts Rob, it is really great work.
Rob I live in upstate NY and I admire you greatly for what you are doing and how you live off of your own food. I would love a neighbor like you to show me how and to share with.
I liked this video better than some of your other ones Rob because it gives a lager view of what you do and how you do it but more importantly, why you do what you do. Bravo!
I wish more people would try to grow what they eat. I have been on this journey to be self-sustainable. I want to get Bees and other things to obtain my goal. Kudos to you for making it happen.
Hi Rob, from Montréal, Canada. I really enjoy what you are doing. You are my idol. Keep going, you change the world your own way and you reach a lot of people. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Hey Rob, I really respect you because you don't just talk the talk but walk the walk. I was really happy to hear that you are growing Malabar Spinach and Moringa. In the Philippines we call them Alungbati and Malunggay/Mulunggay and they are known for their healing effects on the body. Traditionally we put Malabar Spinach with stewed beans such as mung beans. I also like making a refreshing/revitalizing tea from fresh Moringa leaves. Keep living your truth and keep producing this amazing content!
Dude...You are an inspiration! I love your videos and learn so much from them. If you ever decide you want to challenge yourself to a work exchange in an Appalachian environment, reach out! Rehabbing an old farmhouse on four acres with a springfed water supply in SW Virginia. No papayas, alas, but figs, apples, blackberries, yes! Keep up the amazing work.
I'm only 5:25 minutes into this video, the second of yours that I have ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing this!! I subbed and hit the bell during vid #1 I stumbled upon, how to garden for FREE, so, so , so cool!
Great stuff Rob! .... but please, up that saltmaking game, you'll enjoy it. Boil until the first salts settle (calcium sulphate are the needle ones and calcium carbonate is the powdery bit). Pour off the brine and let that evaporate slower so that nice flaky NaCl crystals have time to form. Scoop them off and eventually discard the liquid at the end (called bittern, it is bitter, and has various salts and other chemicals that worsen flavour).
hey Rob ! thank you for your knowledge you are inspiring a lots of people, i know some times is difficult, but you have to carry on , remember is like the seed when you harvest it and grows like tree that tree to grow pass a lots of chalenges at storms to make it grow, and then when tree give a lots fruits is great , one day you will see all the fruits that you are harvesting in many people that are changing their life and that you are making the world a better place , fantastic job !!
Read about you for the first time last week from the Orlando Weekly. I've been mesmerized ever since.....certainly a little jealous seeing how you made things so simple in comparison to the rest of us.
Your videos have inspired me to start my own smal square foot garden this weekend. I'm starting with 8 feet sized squares 😬 and 2 separate containers for sweet potato. Also showered with a bucket in the shower with me to catch some of the excess water
Hello Rob, I'm Sophie, I saw you in the French show Envoyé Spécial and since then, I follow you on Facebook. I admire your challenge and I wish you all the courage to continue to the end. Thank you for your smile even when it's difficult.
You are a very good person, a kind of Superhero. just some words from France: Merci pour tout ce que vous faites pour la Terre, pour nous. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage pour la suite de votre aventure.
Hi, Rob! In Indonesia, we use Katuk leaves as breastmilk booster. Just boiled the leaves with garlic and sweet corn to add the flavour (and sweet potato as well), add salt to taste. It's a nice and comforting soup as well. 😃
Aye!! You are amazing!! Rescue bees!! That's so great! I have rescue goats from a dairy farm but they are boys so all I get from them is love and entertainment! ...And manure for the garden!You are so inspirational!!
Yes I loved it when Rob says he has rescue bees...that's just so cute, and so awesome - I didn't even know there was such a thing as rescue bees. Im allergic, but I still have respect for these tiny creatures which mean so much to our planet
Rob, I grew up in Orlando, not far from Audobon Park. I know exactly where you are! I'm a big Curtis Stone fan, but you take it to the next level by foraging and processing your food. I'm returning to Florida in May and would love to attend your class! You're awesome and just what people need to sustain themselves. God bless you!
When you said foraging, I thought you'd be foraging some Florida native plants, such as Purslane, cabbage palm (heart of palm), Blackberry, Beauty berry. But, it is still AMAZING! I could never do it!
Love your work Rob...for the katuk leaves (at 3:37) and moringa, you can eat them as soup. Search for the video recipes of "sayur katuk bening" and "sayur kelor bening". There are very delicious Indonesian food. Full of fibers and vitamins.
Amazing dude. I have been following along your path for awhile. I tell people all the time how you traveled across the country on your bike and never threw out a piece of trash. Your projects are amazing and inspiring! Cheers from Chicago!

Patricia Russell i had a neighbour back in PA who was retire and every spring and summer he gardened veggies and gave to the neighboors and was super awesome.
Dunno if this guy is crazy or a genius. Maybe both
Is there really a difference? Lol
You have to be crazy to be a genius.
The eyes will almost always tell you which it is...
And the guy's got those crazy eyes... The kind of eyes that you back away slowly from.
I watched one of his videos from when he lived in San Diego, and he was a little weird. However, he didn't have the wide darting eyes yet.
Very fine line
He is grown up! What an inspiration and BLESSING!
