  • Here’s an updated tour of our off grid cabin and our land. The cabin was built for $10,000, not including the inside. I didn’t include the inside price because that will
    be different for everyone. Hopefully this video help let others that are designing a cabin or tiny house, and can decide what they like and don’t like about ours. Thanks for watching. #outdoors #homesteading #offgrid

    This cozy little place is really all humans need! People are so materialistic...I'm glad people are returning to simplicity. This is absolutely wonderful!! He's done an amazing job ... especially for not being a carpenter!!!

      so "all humans need" is £1 million of land & a cabin that costs £100,000 to build. that's £1.1 million.

    Probably the best Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

    I'm a carpenter's apprentice and I'm working towards getting enough money and to raise my credit score to purchase some land and live the homestead life. Videos like this just push me to work even harder to get there, this is my dream. I want to build multiple cabins on my property for any family members who are interested in helping out or need a temporary place to stay.

    Under cabinet lighting is a game changer. You can buy super slim small low energy use straps. They even come with a dimmer. Would darken up that corner counter spot. You'd be shocked at what a few under counter lights do. Ceiling lights are behind you when you're working at the counter and when you're standing working at the counter it creates shadows. Also ..nice little late night "cookie and milk" lighting.:)

    We raised our family off the grid with composting toilets, rain catchment, solar power, wind generation and wood stoves. Spent 13 years doing that lifestyle. I wish we had done a vlog of all we did. It was an amazing yet challenging lifestyle. We moved to a new location and set up another off grid/on grid cabin but have the flushy toilet this time and I don't miss having to dump that toilet every 3 days.😄

Filling float to fill tank and the second float so the tank does run dry. Poly ran to it 3 ft Underground and stubbed up into the cabin with a heat trace and a pump inside for pressure once the main enters the cabin. You can get pumps that only run.

    about 8 years ago I bought a 10 acre piece here in Pinal Valley in Southern Arizona right on the Picacho Reservoir when I was working as a Traveling Tech for Indian Motorcycles, I worked in this area a couple times and fell in love with it because it's not what people think when they hear "Arizona", yes technically it's "Desert" but it's really not Desert either, it's alot more lush than the High Desert most commonly thought of. My Cabin is 16'x26' (416 Sq Ft.). I got lucky I don't need a bathroom, because Where I live there is a water reservoir that is also a state park that has bathrooms and shower facilities just a mile from my cabin so I jump on my truck and head over there.

    Nice tour. I have a recommendation for you. The kitchen sink faucet can become functional. It's a game changer. I put in a foot pump hooked up to a small plastic tank and a couple hoses. Super simple and fairly cheap. If you control the water output with your foot you will save water too. I bought the Whale GP4618 Babyfoot Manual Freshwater Galley Pump, Connects to ½-Inch Flexible Hose, 2.2 GPM Max Flow Rate. Works great off grid. I put in a quick disconnect so I can simply purge the water in the winter. It's just better to wash a dish with water control and both hands in the sink. Take care.

I kept it very simple open floor plan i was forced to connect to grid. But I also use solar. Inside I use only a air fryers it does everything I need. I use my grill mostly. Shower is connected to well. Not connected to septic. Use composting toilet Nature Head. I will tell you this she house has survived Hurrican Erma cat 4 direct hit. And IAN cat 4 both times no damage. Power was out 5 days. Before storm hit I connect toilet vent fan to my battery bank of 2 batteries. I ran 14 hours on battery. Only using Generator at night. I plan on Building pretty much another tiny home in AZ I want chickens also. But being in city limit won't allow me to. Love the garden area. I done mine using 4x4 post and wooden fence al free from hurricane Erma lol still holding up strong. Great Job can't wait to see more.

    You guys should be incredibly proud having accomplished so much, that has been done so very well, at such a relatively young age. Curious about a few aspects of self-reliance that others in similar situations have struggled with. With winter around the corner & gardening season coming to an end, do you plan to do any big game hunting for deer, moose or elk to offset some of your food costs? How do you generate a sufficient income to support your lifestyle choice and the inevitable, albeit reduced costs of living off the grid? And how did you acquire the land on which to build these worthwhile & rewarding construction projects? Apologies in advance if you have covered these topics off in previous videos as I am a relative newcomer to your channel.
