    Once again, thank you so much Rob. You're the change we should follow, or at least, you point a very positive and important way. I've been very inspired by what you do, and in some way I can assure you I will follow your path.
    Thank you for your service to the planet and the human kind.
    Keep up with the great work and all the luck in the world!

    Rob I must say I am so encouraged watching your video ~ I have been living by trade mostly and also with near to nothing ~ I do have an SUV so I can travel to different states and protest against animal abuse ~ When I do eventually find my special spot to stay for good I am seriously thinking of following your lead in this brilliant and connected respectful way to live ~ I am honored to be able to share in your life with you here ~ SD is my home town and so that was even more exciting to see you doing this there ~ Bless you for being so accountable for your use of our mother earth ~ you are a gift Rob ~ mgf

      The Swede I'm learning even galvanized roofing has acrylic coating on it. Wish I could find a good roof to collect water from, let alone sky/air that it fell through.

    • @philtucker1541
      @philtucker1541 9 лет назад +14

      The Swede Agreed. Most people who are using rain as a source for drinking/cooking are putting in reverse osmosis filtration for safety.

    • @dphotos007
      @dphotos007 9 лет назад +8

      I am sure that roof water needed to be filtered big time. Wonder what he does for a living and does he own that property that tiny house is sitting on? This would not be a lifestyle I would enjoy but he seems happy. He looks a bit underweight and maybe he is not getting the calories needed to keep weight on with his current diet.

    • @sudeshsingh9706

      Phil Tucker Living off the grid is awesome. However, i would use rain water (straight) for toilet and irrigation ONLY.

    • @dphotos007
      @dphotos007 8 лет назад +6

      +ssj4goko4 +ssj4goko4 yes people have drank rain water for many years. The health of people way long ago was not great and we had much shorter life spans. Looked like he was getting rain water draining off a neighbors tar roof. I am just saying his water should be filtered more. In California we are having a drought and has rained very little when the video was made. I don't know how he could of collected that much water and how he pays for that land. Rent or owning that land is not cheap. He uses other people's resources. He does not pay taxes but uses the library Internet which was paid by the tax payers.

      @v3r0x 9 лет назад

      Rob Greenfield except for you because you chose to camp instead of having a house .... soooo.... if you need water you wait for rain and then your "kitchen" is wet - what a nice lifestyle
      you should focus on a job that you can afford a nice lifestyle and don't have to life like that. Many of your values are correct - but at some point you should stay on the ground .......
      don't you see you live in a dump :D ?

    I say mortgage free is GREAT, good for you. More and more people are doing this but in Mississippi, yes ,Mississippi we have codes and can't do this. If we could, and there MAY be places unknown to me where you can, it wouldn't be conducive because of THE HEAT! You can't sit outside long without wanting to pass out from the heat. There are a lot of heat strokes here. I would love to do as you have done!

      He explains it on his website " Instead of paying rent with money I am exchanging my services. The agreement is that I can stay here for a year or two. When I leave he’ll have a killer backyards, a rainwater harvesting system, garden, fire pit, etc. I know this might be hard to believe for some but there are a lot of people out there who do things that don’t revolve around or need money."

    Just finished reading your blog posting about "Not showering" and conserving water. I do the same in CO in the Tiny Solar Powered House. It is ridiculous the amount of water people use daily. michaelbluejay website has a great article on water conservation. As you noted, simply cutting out meat and dairy saves more water than not showering. Several hundred thousand gallons a year versus 5200 gallons or so. :) You appear to be doing the double-whammy! - Cloud

Have to have complete inside survival for winter. I ve thought a lot about it. I can’t at this time ,my husband is ill, and even if he wasn’t, he is not a person to rough it. He says growing up with 10 siblings, on a farm ,in a 5 room house was as tough as he wants it. Which I understand. I’m in decent health. 71yrs old. I’d need help to get some of it together, but Other than that, I can do it. I mention this to my children; my sons roll their eyes and my daughter bargains with me. ( I could come put pretty good on that one if I play my cards right.). Enjoy your life.

    Want to be eco-friendly like this? Start with things like your cleaning products and such. There are PLENTY of companies whom I can list that make eco-friendly alternatives to things you're already using that are actually pretty affordable. Grow your own garden with NON-GMO seeds and use EVERY last drop of water you have! The best advice I can give is LISTEN TO ROB!!! He is the one doing this as we speak and succeeding with it!

    Another thing I love about you is that you just use a regular wood burning stove. So many people that do this off grid better lifestyle, there using propane those little propane cylinders are almost impossible to recycle and their using all kinds of packaging that is not recyclable so I am always amazed at these supposedly healthy hiker types that have all of this food in those horrible plastic bags cooking with propane tanks that are not recyclable And it's like a complete hypocrisy. Is so refreshing to see someone that things the same way I do. I don't have things that have packaging. I don't use propane tanks. About the only difference between me and you is I do have my cell phone because I do not have a computer. And I wouldn't even have that but I have an 80 year old mother that I like to keep in touch with My hat's off to you! I am so excited to see someone that actually practices what they preach you are awesome.

    This is a great video! Your lifestyle seems really, truly enjoyable. I am stealing some of your ideas to implement in my own life. :)
    Keep up the good work!

    Just ran up on your video man. I think its great. And these people with the snotty attitude. Well I am pretty sure they are pissed because they just don't have the balls to pull this lifestyle off. Keep up the great work.

    Pretty cool set up! I could never live like this in Texas though, way too hot! I would need some sort of cooling in the little house.
