Man Living in a 10'x10' Tiny House & Homesteading in the City
Переглядів 6,011,060
День томуRob Greenfield's latest sustainable living project is to live in a DIY 100 ft² tiny house for two years while foraging and growing 100% of his own food in an urban area. You can follow more of Rob's adventures in sustainable living on UKposts and on his website here:
/ robjgreenfield
robgreenfield.tv/
We are thrilled to be featuring Rob on our channel, and we learned so much from him just with this one video collaboration. In addition to living in his tiny home, he's figuring out how to create his own cooking fuel using a biodigester, he's growing his own toilet paper, and he even makes his own sea salt.
He built the tiny house in the backyard of someone who was looking to live more sustainably. In exchange for a place to build the home, he created a rainwater collection system, an extensive garden on the front lawn, a bio digester and composting system, and more.
Obviously, we can't all live like Rob is doing in this video (although it does look like a healthy, simple, and rewarding lifestyle), but we can get inspired to make positive changes in our own lives. Maybe start composting or eating more fresh food, creating less garbage, riding our bikes more, etc. That's what we're inspired to do after working on this video with him :)
We also want to say a huge thank you to Brandon Kari for filming this footage of Rob and his tiny house homestead for us. You can check out Brandon's work on his website here:

@gnarbeljo8980 Рік тому
@@agustintintin2126 dude, the world is full of landowners who dont mind or even notice someone on their property. Loads of people who own acres upon acres of woodland, pastures and all. A feudal system involves enslavement, a surf is a person whose labor comes with ownership of the land they're living on, unpaid, and there's no free will. This guy has realized and lived other ways. He's excersizing a privilege really. Makes no romantic claims about people who are exploited and empoverished. It's all his choice and he as well as the land owner can make new and different ones. Seems you haven't picked up on who this guy is, what makes him tick and what he's all about. Some peopke spend their lives and money on throwing themselves out of airplanes with nylon wings, some climb the nortj side of K 2 after raising a million bucks, some build survival bunkers out the back of yheir property costing mor than a small home or collect military arsenals in their garage and quote scripture every chance they get and you're bothered by this guy minding his own business, leaving the tiniest footprint ever? I'm so grateful I don't have your problems. Life must be pretty dark man. Sounds like you need to get out and do some travelling and see a little more of the world.

To be fair he appears genuinely committed to this lifestyle, extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful whilst enthusiastic about sharing the skills he has. It does seem to be a fair and mutually beneficial exchange for him and the homeowners, almost like the old fashion days of having a caretaker cottage where the groundskeeper lives. I also like how he doesn’t try to glamorise of idealise his situation nor hide the challenges his choices can pose. The most important comment he said was there are pluses and minuses to EVERY choice we make and life is never easy nor carefree and can be unpredictable but we do have a choice about how we prioritise what we invest our energy into.

For the 28.5 months I lived in my house before I got water/septic, I used a solar camp shower bag, in a plastic/acrylic clawfoot tub. Hauled my water on my way home from the farm, at a local water spout weekly in 20 gallon camp jugs. Grew a small garden. Now I have a drilled well, toilet, and so much more. I'm happy to be back on the grid honestly, but it showed me what I was capable of.

He explains the arrangement in depth on his UKposts channel. The short version is the land owner wanted to learn to live more sustainably. So they let Rob live on the land for the time, in exchange he will teach them how to maintain the garden and live a better life and when Rob leaves the owner keeps the garden, tiny house, and outdoor kitchen.
