Man Living in a 10'x10' Tiny House & Homesteading in the City
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- Rob 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 TH-cam and on his website here:

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:

I like that he walks the walk. SImply.
Shouldn't you call it home insteading?
I like to see u teach the homeless this type if living
@@jansmith9922 no he is actually a bum
Some body`s back yard?
The day you forget what others think about you is the day you get more connected to yourself.
Love this saying, im definitely stealing it for myself and my family😉
& you can get more connected to God & he wants that of us 🙌❤️🙌
Wow I needed to hear this today thank you!
My family and I are planning a cross country trip and living in our Rv full time to simplify, I’ve gotten a lot of negative opinions from family and friends about this and I was really questioning our decision this morning but after reading this, there’s no turning back.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
@@debrashepard6770 he????? 🤔
This is wisdom.. he is not homeless. This is a simple life. No debts
Esther Madueke debts aren’t bad there’s good debt and bad debt
Esther Madueke Welcome to downward bound. What a way to live when you have well off people who are willing to facilitate your style of life. Totally impossible when everyone wants to live like this. We call this the third world in reality.
he would know how to survive in end times.
good thing he is in Orlando. I imagine having an outdoor kitchen with heavy rains, snow and minus 10-15 degrees. Preferably have to live somewhere where the temperature is not dropping below 0°
John Stewart f
This guy is really walking the walk as an environmental activist. Respect.
yeah, respect for that❤
Awesome
Honestly a really inspiring guy. He has strong beliefs and instead of whining to others about it, he sets an example and promotes his lifestyle to others, well done
I've lived homeless about three years ago and i think he's brilliant for this minimal way of living. Survival of the smartest
Respect on getting out the street.
@@GodofLovers Maybe he's still there...just in a tent.
If one can get off the street and into a place, including a tiny house, good for them !! That's quite an achievement today. The powers that be, both Dems and Reps, are making it ever harder all the time.
God Bless and may your blessings be many! Fantabulous job lifting yourself up.
Blessings
He has all he needs, and more; he is living his dream: a simple and peaceful life, not driven by consumption and materialism! Fantastic!
But how about having family?
IT'S NICE THE ONLY THING I,WOULD DO IS BUILD A COVER ON THE CEILING!!!!
i love how easy the plans are in *WoodBlueprints. Com* to understand and the step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy
wait a minute. I watched the whole thing. There's nothing about that way of life. It's hustle all the time.
@@roxannegordon6162 but the time he spends "hustling" is also time he isn't working a traditional job, so I'm sure it evens out. If anything, he probably still has more free time than most people.
Rob's life shown here, is the best, real deal, little house, homesteading life I've seen.
I'm really impressed.
May he continue onward, and be able to inspire many, for decades to come.
This is amazing! I commend this gentleman for acknowledging we need very little to live and making that a practice in his actual life. People around the world live like this and live well in to their 100's. Makes you think twice about the things we called a need in life.
I'm sure he's happier than most of the people making fun of him here...
BAM!
Anyone making fun of him is probably working 70 hrs a week, in debt, struggling to pay their bills, and miserable with their own lives. Peace of mind is priceless!!!!! I aspire to be like this guy!!! Definitely a great role model for the young people going out into the world. He shows us there is a another way to live this life!! Thank you!!!
Absolutely he is. I guarantee you
What is he going to do when he gets old? Maybe a bike with training wheels? No 401k no ss ? I guess you young people will have to take care of him. Get woke go broke!
I'm not making fun of him, I'm just wondering about the house. Who owns the property and pays the property taxes and electric bill? Unless maybe he is renting the property. I guess you could make a bit of money selling honey but I doubt it is enough to rent a backyard.
Everyone’s freaking out about quarantine and the fact that the stores don’t have toilet paper or water and homeboy is living his life like nothing happened
Thibaut Pasquini facts
Right
This was posted about a year ago...
@@beckycondreay9212 He will probably still carry on as if nothing has happened, lol. Wait, he may be getting more inquiries about his lifestyle. So, for him, life might be even better now, if this global disruption has generated interest in the many tools he has around his little abode.
Fighting in a grocery store over a bunch of toilet papers during quarantine panic buying!
The less stuff you have, the less time you have to waste to care for them😍🥰 Less is more.
Very true, small house gets messy faster. I live in a studio, so it is similiar to this shed. Kudos to the guy.
You’re an inspiration! Great video. The world needs more people like you.
Love this guys energy and vibe. He’s not bummin’ around but focused and tuned in, and an educater.
Kudos man.
People need to stop sharing these on the internet. Politicians are starting to make them illegal.
They are making boat life illegal too. They just made is so you need to move your boat every 90 days in Florida.
Politicians want you paying rent and property tax. Guys like this probably piss politicians off.
🙄
another promotions of bad old dark age Feudal systems! (and he is bamboozle everyone into a simple mindsets of peasant/serves position!)
What happened if his landlords change their minds about keeping this man-pet on their real-estate properties?
@@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.
This man is a master of his own, no one is controlling him. A borrower is a slave to a lender!
Well actually he lives in the backyard of someone who is controlling him.
@@zachburnett2433 you said exactly what I was going to say.
I love your comment! Exactly most of us are just slaves of consumers’ industries.
Who's borrowing? I pay cash like a lot of people. I'm not a slave to anyone except my addiction for lemon pie.
He is a bum.
Truly inspirational human being. I aspire to be this concious of my impact on the environment and the people around me. We as a society have to start exploring and implementing sustainability at scale, and this man is a prime example of how we can accomplish this. Perfect example of how one man's journey can create a new paradigm.
I'm in aww. Your inspiring. This is keeping it real. I've learned to live on less and find I'm happier but you have really rocked this congrats thank you for helping our planet.
99.99% of the trick is having a cool friend who doesn't mind a person living in their shed.
I was okay about this until the toilet.
@@pattymelt6577 sigh, where did all the real women go..little pampered princesses and y'all look like shreks girl.
I live in the country and people are always trying to move in on me. They must think I'm a nice guy, I sort of am but really don't want to live with anyone especially pushy people who think they can homestead in my barn.
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.
No you dont. Just ask people who life off-grid. You will find your way, if you want so. ;)
Clicked for the tiny house. Stayed for the life concept.
This is AWESOME ! No one ever needs to be homeless & hungry !! Pray more people will catch this vision ! Bless you !
I also live in Orlando, close to downtown, and know several people who are now on the verge of homelessness. I’d love to talk to this guy and maybe organize a tiny house community for those who are being priced out of renting (it’s honestly outrageous now)! I’m also big into growing seedlings now, and would love to share!
He has a glow of contentment and purpose around him. He is so self reliant and simple. This is an example of simple living and high thinking at its best.
As long as you aren't hurting anyone or taking their stuff, do whatever makes you happy.
Right on!
Amen to that.
Exactly.
Amen!!!
Good for him. Some talk about it, he does it
Salute!Reaching my senior years now...after living in cities around the globe for 3 decades....I am a musician and a farmer and a cook.
I am also a Philanthropist and will soon start to live similar like you ,simple living,plant organic and healthier plants ,and share this marvelous idea.This is actually what we need now during the Pandemic and after...and the coming years to come.
This guy is amazing! So glad we have people like this on earth.
Only a few can match up to his self sustainable life style. He is only 20 minute from me.
Sorry, but this is not a man.
@@brianh2287 What¿
@@brianh2287 huh?? Able to survive 💪 without all the bells and whistles and being kind? Especially to our one earth. He's the definition of a man
@@brianh2287 nah man
Love this! This man is happy, healthy and most of all, at peace and debt free. More power to you, brother!
What a beautiful soul! Your consideration for our planet is just infectious. I like your tiny space.
Rob is a legend! Very inspiring video. I think I can't go that far in a simple life style, but definitely can make my life simpler!
Wow- he made $8,000 per annum and yet he is happy and enjoys his simple and uncomplicated lifestyle. I really admire this gentleman.
True....works if you a man and plan to stay single for a long while, right ?
Sorry, I couldn't stand not having a car, or license.
@@Advic77 true, he didn't mention having a partner
But doesn’t he have to have health insurance? I suppose he gets medical assistance since he is considered poor and living in poverty even though he chooses to live that way.
Advic77 If he wants to marry he’ll just have to build her a “She Sheaf” lol . And I’m sure she’ll love it .
My respect. We need more people like this man.
Catherine, it's gonna happen whether we want it or not lol 👋.
No doubt
He doesn't live here, it's all a prop for the video, trust me if he lived there it would look lived in and not brand new !!!!!
No we don't need anymore hipsters 😑
@@makedonmend7163 Exactly.
I love the aspect of having the outside in, by having the ventilation aspect in the roof. That has to be more healthy. The outdoor cooking space was so cool too - especially the water collection/storage/delivery simplicity. A total exercise on simplicity and high circularity.
The "summer kitchen" is an old concept from the days before a/c. Amazing how reliant we have become on juice-chugging a/c, especially in the American south and southwest.
@@bnic9471 But he also has a large freezer that chugs juice.
@@TheUtuber999 This is true. Still likely more efficient than keeping an interior kitchen cool.
All I could think about is lizards.
Hhhhhh
I was skeptical at first, seeing clearly he was in someone’s yard. I kept thinking “that’s great, but..”. Then he explained. It’s the most basic form of interaction/ exchange. He’s living the life he loves & helping the world along the way. Great video!
I have a shed house in my back yard same size, I should live there and rent my home.
Do it. I did once in my youth.
I’d be interested in watching those vlogs...
I have mine too to be use if am becoming older til the last day in this imperfect world :-)
Just choose your future property guests with care.
Yeah i haven't seen the whole video yet but he can only live there because another person bought that property and let him live there. You always have to pay or another person if you want to build something somewhere
I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! Thanks for being so positive and showing us how to live. I am heading in this direction .
Agreed!
Already have my land in Hartsel. Be sure to check building requirements. The limit for my county is a 200 sf building with a mandatory foundation. Otherwise it's considered camping which for me would be a 2 week limit with a permit. Even when it's your land, there are still some rules.
as we all should!!
@@blupyxi5669 Thank you so much for all your advice!!
Losers
He’s amazing. “How can we meet the needs of other people?” You’re inspiring!
Growing your "toilet paper" ! WOW ! LOVE this.
Really want to live this way ! Even at 78 yrs of age ,I believe I will love this.
He's SUCCESSFUL WHY? He's HAPPY & HAVE PIECE OF MIND
Exactly!
If more people were willing to live a simple lifestyle this world would be a much nicer place to live.
I wanna see Al Gore or Leo DiCaprio live like this.
much nicer in what way? If everyone spent all day farming then we wouldn't have modern medicine or technology. Times weren't nicer back then
Ha ha. At least they'd keep busy!
@@dogie1070 there would be no time for crime 👍.
@@Alistair
Thought the same at first but then realized that he does have enough time and knowledge to work on some research at the University...
This guy is freekin' awesome!!!!!!!!!! Forget superman, this guy is a real hero!!
I think your project is remarkable. I applaud your ingenuity and enthusiasm. As a fellow Floridian, I do wonder how you handle the no-see-ums and mosquitoes when you are not asleep under the mosquito net. Best wishes for a successful conclusion to all your efforts during this worthy project.
What an impressive, interesting man who appears genuinely committed to preserving survival skills that many of us in the modern world have lost. I admire his enthusiasm for exploring such a simple lifestyle and then sharing that knowledge.
He is so smart and i like him. I like his way of living.
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
@@aprilpalmer7024 Way to go ! I wish you all the best.
I like you 😊💞
He is beyond smart. He is very astute. He is living life as it was meant too be lived why we ha strife in the world the need for more and wanting what the next person has do we really need to live like that. I like his perspective. Could I do it probably not. I'm caught up in the world of want.
Ya, me too!! He doesn't even wear shoes or sandles. Mus b de urban 'Robinson Crusoe'? Tom Hanks wud like him? May b? Or jealous? 😅
I'm a Van Dweller. I wanted a tiny house before the van, but the challenges of cost and we're you can live stopped that thought. All of this is very fascinating and creative.
This is my dream! To feel happy , free and with purpose. So far I had got rid of 80% of my things it’s such a hard and slow process since i was so used to keeping things but I have so much respect for this guy seriously
This guy looks so healthy and relaxed, props to him and thanks for the vid
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
I think leaving stress free from having bills, debts, tight schedules and such really shows on his health.
This is real environmental activism, not screaming at people but setting an example 👍🏻
Exactly! Great comment ; )
"How dare YYyouuuu!
Greta thunburg!
He's living on someone else's property who isn't living environmentally. None of this is possible without living on someone else's property.
@Michael The problem with thinking is this, no one else is going to be exactly the same as you on anything. Anti-war is pro peace. The nit picking by Mother Teresa is why the protests never go anywhere.
The person in the video is canceled out by the mere fact that he lives on someone's property who isn't doing any of the things he is.
@@erikin_raleigh6911 stpd
I admire your lifestyle and commitment.Your presentation was very interesting and done so well. Wishing you a happy life filled with every adventure your soul needs.
Thanks Rob and exploring alternative's for sharing this story, it's truly an inspiration for someone like me who dreams of having their own space again, and to be present and available to enjoy being in love with life again!
No stress 😎! Most people work so hard but are full of stress. This man is independent living the simple life.
Still dependent on someone else's land.
Lyrrad Senoj I think there is plenty of stress. No living being gets away with that lol. He may be avoiding some financial stress now but what does the future bring?
@@lemontea2065 he works for his stay
no stress, apart from all the mosquitos he mentioned lol
Will he ever start a family?
A human being we can all respect ✊🏾. Intelligent Thoughtful. We salute you
Really cool. Don't think I could do this to this extreme, but this is so amazing and admirable. Definitely makes you think about how you can do better.
Loved this experiment and ideas. I am looking for that blue spur plant. There are a number of ideas that one could adapt for oneself without having to go to the extremes here. However I love that he showed that it could be done and that he tried it. He is the kind of guy that will be on to a new project all the time. Love his energy and simplicity.
One doesn’t need much. Admire your spirit🌷
Less is more.
@@troygrant5418 Yeah. He's actually got plenty in a tiny amount of space. He has greater independence + more flexible *time* + likely his mind feels chill. You can tell he's pretty happy with this lifestyle.
He might be living in a small house but he is happy and that what matters!
Hello beautiful lady how are you?
Amen
Thank you for sharing this video. I admire the way Rob lives off the grid; he is a very smart, resourceful guy.
You have one hell of a job trying to educate people. Your understanding and knowledge is amazing
Alot of people like him in the Philippines live like this. Made me realize we've been doing tiny house living for the longest of time. He even got the mosquito net thing down. 😂
Yes and Jamaica too. People live on The Yard.
You drink chemtrails -not healthy.
Yes. His house is almost half an average house in the Philippines. Lol. I think our house is just 5 times bigger than his house. 🤣🤣
Tama
So true lol
Very smart man, he has to be insanely healthy growing everything he eats!
Not just that but biking everywhere, good exercise which keeps one healthy
Thank you for this share. I've sent this video to my entire family, in hopes they understand me better. Keep going progressive forward! 😘
His project touches my heart. It’s so important that more of us simplify our lives in this way and return to our close relationship with nature and the divine.
I love your home and lifestyle... i wish i can live like that and just read my bible all day and tend to my garden 🙏
Amen, sister!
Tama ka te

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 seem so happy and calm. I wish I could feel that
Thank you so much for everything you do. You are an inspiration. What a special message.
ADORABLE & BRILLIANT... NOT A LIFESTYLE FOR MOST, BUT IT IS YOUR LIFE AND I SO APPRECIATE YOUR RESPECT FOR EARTH AND RECYCLING. BEST OF LUCK AND MUCH SUCCESS.
Guy's smilling 24/7 is so amazinh
Smiling 24/7 and no sleep is bad - don't do drugs kids
The best part to me, is that you have kept the moisture out of the main building! ❤❤❤ Best tiny house video to me!
Rob is such an inspiration and seems like such a genuine human
I wish I can be like him.. God bless him and his tiny house..

Who's stopping you?
I'd rather have a tiny house than having a mortgage for the next 30 years.
My 30 year mortgage is down to 12 years now. I think when it finally gets paid off, I'll sell it, buy a van, and go live down by the river 😂
@@septembersapphire347 Why not just sell it now?
@@heff2959 I have too much debt. If I wait til my house is paid off then when I sell I can pay off all my debts and have a little left to start over debt free like in a van down by the river.
@@septembersapphire347 Fair enough! All the best.
I'm sure governance powers that be would love to reduce the common citizen to the size of a computer chip; easier to manage.
He seems really happy. You can't argue with that.
very straight forward, honest and sincere description of a life many of us dream of, but not dare to follow...
This guy is so inspiring. I'm obsessed with the Tiny House movement. Though I dream of having a luxury tiny house, someday, after watching this man, and seeing how simply he lives, I think I'll aim for a more rustic simple house. Thank you for sharing this inspirational person with us.
Wow. Gotta hand it to the guy, it takes a lot of discipline, conviction and know-how to live this way. That’s pretty admirable I think.
Interesting.
Its not hard as a human one should have enough adaptive skills to do even better than him.. But after frugal living you realize less is sometimes more hence he realized he only needed a room to live, and he basically has the entire yard, I’d need an A/C in that shed though but overall I’d suggest a $500 efficiency with all utilities if you’re gunna be in someones backyard...
But at the same time it's likely simpler and easier than how most people live.
techdeckdudes _ It’s not a Minnesota model but if it works where he lives, that’s awesome!
Maxim C. Yeah, but you’ve got to let go of a lot of STUFF.
Great one mate .In 2005 I left conventional housing and have lived in my workshop since . When people visit they understand the mentality and enjoy the unique casual atmosphere
I wish he would've kept his location a secret. I always hear about cities punishing citizens for collecting rainwater because they can't tax it.
What! That sounds so ridiculous when you say it
Our city encorages rain water collection
@@carljylland-halverson2372 that's rare. Im glad that you and others in your city have that freedom.
@@carljylland-halverson2372 our whole country encourages to collect rain water.
Meanwhile my hometown pays you if you have a rainwater collection system.
I have a 10 by 10 up my mountain ( 500 hundred yds. behind my house ) for 20 years now. My son (32 yrs) insulated it and installed a propane wall heater as I live in northeast Pennsylvania. There is lots to forage and hunt. I plan on living there three seasons of the year and traveling for the winter. I ❤ your attitude and what you've done ! God bless and stay safe 💙💙❤💙💙
If all people are hard working , simple and sweet heart like you , this World will be very peaceful!
Thanks for sharing!
I just love your setup and what you are doing for Mother Nature.
I love this. This simple eco friendly debt free way of living is a real life lesson! My tribe in Morocco used to live like that :)
Very cool!! Living closer to the land was the original way of life for humans.
When he started to rub his face in that plant at 14:26, I legit beamed. Find someone that looks at you like this dude looks at this plant.

This is the 5th time I’ve watched your video. You should write a “How To” book. You have sooo much IMPORTANT information to share. And a cookbook too!🙂
I applaude him for his ingenuity and no debt how fabulous.
Obviously, there is no HOA involved with the community where you live, but I'm still amazed that some NIMBY busybody hasn't tried to disrupt what you and the homeowner are trying to achieve. What you're doing is really awesome and incredibly inspirational!
I also live in Orlando. The majority of the area is riddled with HOAs, but we do have pockets without them, and you'll find that the non-HOA places don't step on ANYONE'S toes, because we all escaped from oppressive and obnoxious HOAs (although he moved to NC, so I guess someone may have given him trouble; that, or he got sick of these mosquitoes and the humidity).
What does NIMBY mean (I'm South African).
@@suecollins3246 “Not In My Backyard”. People who have nothing better to do than interfere with how other people live their life.

Although I'm not prepared to live quite as rustically as Rob, I love his creativity and passion. This is someone living life on his own terms, and he has created the life he wants to live. You give up some things to have other things(compromise in a positive way), and I respect and appreciate his honesty.

This really does work well. I've done it too. I love that you do it for the kitties.
If he has bees, he has wax. For light I once made tiny lamps out of bottle caps, twisted napkins and surfboard wax.
CO gas euthanasia ASAP
Carribbean tricks it's an islander thing lol
Wow he is a great articulate man who is brave enough to weather the elements on top of everything!
I’m impressed. So awesome that you can share with others. Definitely not for a lazy person as there is work to make it happen.
This guy is one step away from ultimate power if he only did 100 push ups 100 sit ups 100 squats and a 10km run every single day...
Ζαφειρης Κουλουρης he could turn into one punch man :0
YES!
Guess he's already started doing it, considering his slight baldness
Amazing comment.
hahaha this guy about to turn into Saitama
I like his honesty and the fact that he cares about people and the environment and has come up with these amazing alternatives. I would love to have him demonstrate what he eats. You see a little about it, but I would love to see a video on it.
It seems like you missed an opportunity to talk about the garden and his practices to make that sustainable both environmentally, financially, and nutritionally. Otherwise it was interesting to have an insight into what a life close to earth in a relatively tropical place like Florida can be like. It would look a lot different here in Sweden, that's for sure.
He is in service of others while enjoying himself..well done Sir
