They Left The City To Live FREE, WILD and OFF-GRID in a Tiny House!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2023
- In an effort to return to a more simple way of living, with reduced overheads and more time together in nature, this adventurous family gave up their city apartment, built a beautiful off-the-grid tiny house and moved to the remote Australian wilderness where they could live free and wild.
Situated in a hard to access corner of a large working farm and with a spectacular wilderness backdrop, this DIY, off-the-grid tiny home is a sight to behold.
Inside, the home is well designed, with clever storage features and the ability to comfortably meet the young family's needs. This is a home designed around nature and access to the land, so to compliment the tiny house a huge awning has been erected providing great outdoor living space.
Steve and Di have constructed a fantastic home for their family to re-wild. To follow their simple living / tiny home journey you can find them on instagram: / fullcircle.living

I just love what this free-spirited family have achieved for themselves. They have built a beautiful tiny home which has freed them financially to pursue their passions, and they have built a lifestyle which connects them to nature and each other. We hope you enjoy this tour! Remember, if you enjoy our videos and would like to support our channel, you can find us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/livingbig - With Love, Bryce & Rasa
It’s wonderful, from soup to nuts.
Woah my name last name is Bryce😮
❤❤Yes Agree.. Kia Ora from Melbourne 😊
Nope
I love seeing a family that has lived in their tiny home for more than just a few months...5 years is awesome! It shows it's not just a honeymoon phase. Also I love that the house is beautiful and it represents the whole point of living tiny...to not have debt and more freedom.
Seeing a dad so close and involved with his child is gratifying. I didn't have that.
Me neither but very indifferent about it tbh. Everything happens for a reason
And a Mother as well.
Figuring out how to scale your lifestyle down so that you can stay home & make raising your child(ren) your #1 priority is EVERYTHING!!!
Unfortunately most dad's are absent
I'm completely fatherless, but now I am a father and have a daughter and will spend as much time as I could to be with her, and never ever let her feel the same as I was.
We can TELL when a child has an involved father!
Love how they used recycled and reclaimed windows and lumber , saved a lot of money , and was not wasted materials either.
These people are like true pioneers. Living off grid, building their own home, being conscious of what they use and need, being a family and working/playing together. They have room to ad on as well. So much potential! I love their view of the surrounding countryside. They are definitely Living Big!
Who else loves to watch tiny house with kids having their best childhood in wildernesses ❤🙋♀️
not so lovely if you imagine the lack of privacy for the couple… but they are modern hippies, maybe aren’t worried at all
Think it is great that these parents are embracing being close to their child at night. It's how we lived for most of human history and how many people around the world still live. These days we are often so consumed with getting children to be independent - stop nursing, stop co-sleeping, get potty trained, sleep in their own bed in their own room and then it's off to preschool and on and on. Some of it is economics-motivated, but some of it is just the culture we grow up in. A child can maintain close ties while still becoming independent thinkers and learners.
What mammal would leave it's newborn to sleep in other room? Only human.
Yes my son is half Indian and it’s pretty normal in India for their kids to sleep in the same bed as the parents. Our son sleeps in our bed, as he gets scared at night to be on his own- most of my family in Australia berate me for having him in our bed, except for a few mother’s who get that kids grow up so fast and say to spend as much time with them as possible. I remember being constantly frightened as a child sleeping in my own room. However, in saying that, some kids are really good sleepers. I have an older daughter who would take herself off to her own bedroom at night and sleep the whole night through, no problem. I think it depends on the child - what the child prefers and can cope with.
@@rubyredjeansgood advice , kids have different needs , parents have different work hours , sleeping patterns and needs we should try to be inclusive .
i agree. our 7 year old sometimes still co-sleeps if that's what suits their needs. i've always acted instinctively and not listened to what books, etc say. did everything when they were ready, nothing has been forced. sometimes i feel we're out on a limb and the only ones in our area doing things this way, but then i see how bonded, independent, sociable, loving, funny and intelligent our child is, and i know we're doing fine. mostly, i feel really close to my child. i've been reading 'Hold on to Your Kids' about keeping the child-parent attachment as more important than peer-attachment and it makes total sense to me. our wee one is wonderful and i've also prioritised being an at-home mother since birth. we don't have a lot of money, we get by. but nothing i could buy is more important than being with my child.
So inspiring to see people fulfilled and content with their lives, and not needing excessive everything in their world to achieve it.
I keep thinking I’ve seen my favorite house and owners and they just keep getting better. I think your interviewing skills, Bryce, and the cinematography by Rasa, keeps improving so you can better show us both the house and the heart of these folks. I also think you should take credit for turning so many people towards tiny living with your fabulous channel. I really cannot thank you enough!
Couldn't agree more!
Simply, amazing!
This is what God intended.
Fall in love, create a home and, start a family, large or small.
Life is meaningful and, mindful.
Your Son is benefitting from his young experiences and, chances are, he will create another generation of simple living.
God Bless, for a wonderful, future.
Takes some courage to walk barefoot in an Australian forest
It sure does!
Immediately thought the same
Every second person in Queensland is barefoot.
Why?
@@amritapritam2891snakes?.
Like the deck with the shed roof and solar panels combined! And nice floor plan, it really does work! Thanks again for another phenomenal shoot Bryce and Rasa! And thank you for making my day!
You're welcome Levi! Glad you enjoyed the episode and thanks for watching!
4:50 Wilderness savvy people! A hand drill to make fires! Hurrah!
My four.children teach wilderness awareness and skills to children 6-16. It’s awesome to see a tinder bundle and all in use!
I love the slats for the bed mattress, which saves on space and the walkway between the two sleeping areas, well, play area for the little one that is. I too had a family bed until each child was ready to be on their own.
I think part of children’s self confidence stems from their having a deep and solid foundation of trust… trust to know and be able to decide when they are ready for a new step, a new way.
Awesome life you three!
Another beautiful home. The land is absolutely amazing. Your videos are awesome.
Thank you!
so well put
Hello from Greece. Every week I am waiting for your videos 🙂🙂🙂
Thanks so much! We hope you enjoy this one!
Whenever you upload, Bryce & Rasa, it's always 'WOW' time and this one is no exception. SO much to love about this slightly quirky (nice quirky) dwelling - the rope and rails; the bookcases; the ingenious storage in the joists; the bed arrangement. Even the profile of the veranda roof adds interest. Di & Steve (& Samson), may you continue to thrive in this 'beyond' stunning location...
Thanks Bryce for another wonderful video. Being a Sri Lankan living in Qatar for the last 12 years with my wife and 3 kids, I am always dreaming about living tiny, homesteading, off grid living, etc., but still I couldn’t materialize my dreams into reality though I am turning 40 next month September 2023.
Probably the most comfortable among the simply built homes I have seen. So practical in every way, yet still a beautiful and warm tiny house to live in. Genius design technically (every detail seems to be so well thought through). I keep thinking about Samson and the most amazing childhood he will get there. A true dream :) Thank you Di and Steve for sharing your home with us. It's absolutely inspiring! I was blown away by how little you have spent to make this beautiful beautiful home a reality. I am sure it took a lot of work to realise it. Bryce and Rasa - you are doing more for our planet with your inspiring videos than most politicians and campaigners. Thank you.
Wow what a location! I'll go put the coffee on. Thanks for another episode Rasa and Bryce!! All the best. ☕
We loved filming this one Andy! The location was an adventure to get to, but it sure was worth it! Such a cool family and home. Hope you enjoy the episode and your coffee! ☕
Beautiful. You could sense the peace from this home 😊
I simply love how Australians and New Zealanders are so open and into this beautiful way of life! 🙏🏻
Your videos are just amazingly done
Hello Elaine
How are you doing today?
Unfortunately the majority of local councils in Australia will not allow tiny houses.
This family embodies "living tiny" this is what its all about, recycled materials, living off grid more time to spend together as a family, with less debt over your head. They killed it!! Love their parking spot and love how they've had the guts to get out there and build their dream to live off grid. Amazing!!
Thankyou Bryce and Rasa you guys have done it again, love your interviews and camera work, as well as bringing us another wonderful family and their home.🙏🏾🧡
My parents have just retired and want to get into building a tiny house. I love showing them your channel… sadly they don’t understand much since they only understand german.
But! I keep seeing your videos on their recommended page so they’re probably watching anyways :D
You can have the captions in German. Hit CC to turn them on, then hit the “gear” symbol. When it shows the word captions - hit that then select “auto translate” hit that and languages will pop up. Select what you want.
Try it and let me know if it works for you. I don’t know if I explained it clearly. 😎🐈⬛
@@SuzanneWho thank you :) I tried that but since it’s auto subs it’s not very accurate/synced correctly but better than nothing:D
This is a beautiful home made with love and thoughtful touches, as well as caring for the environment. What a beautiful location! Wishing this family a lovely life in their new location!
I loved when he said, "The locals, the birds are all starting to settle in with us here too. We've got 2 little resident Magpies and we're starting to see the changes in that story that flicks through the year." Then she said, " I feel that we are starting to be accepted by the landscape here."
Wow! They got it made..what a beautiful landscape, beautiful home. Love that quote on the wall😊 What a dream!
What a journey getting that tiny in there. Gorgeous setting and comfy home.
Love watching the tiny home adventures.
We don’t have a tiny home but last year we moved a beautiful 1950’s home to our 120 acre fully off grid property. Absolutely loving the off grid life style!!
A tiny home on another part of the property is next. Can’t wait.
Really loved EVERYTHING about this home. Seems like a comfortable space and the surrounding nature is incredible. Perfect place to raise a family.
Incredible is surely the word for this family, their living spaces. Love it!!
Nothing has to be said... Just lovely ....Saludos from Argentina .
I love that they said they're being accepted into the landscape....as it should be. And YES to a simple bucket system! I really like that place!
Fellow Samson here, I approve of this tiny house
Absolutely stunning location!
🥰❤❤❤ thank you for sharing this slice of Heaven with us. Kudos to the family for being so diligent, hard-working, and creative. So inspiring. Thank you Bryce for bringing all this goodness to us. 🙏
Absolutely gorgeous tiny house, and a beautiful family too. ❤
Fantastic! Off the grid and designed by themselves for their own needs. This is the future! Excellent video.
Putting the mattress directly on top of a slatted loft floor is such a great idea. Granted, it locks you into where the bed goes, but it's incredibly clever for maximizing head room. I'm taking notes!
Not sure about this - I really couldn't sleep in a claustrophobic loft and although they said they cook outside mostly, if they do cook inside the mattress will absorb all the aerosoled fats, aromas, water vapour etc. The 2 aspects of the majority of the tiny homes is the upstairs sleeping and the big next to the kitchen. I would rather have bedroom on ground floor, kitchen at other end and seating, relax area upstairs. Cludge would be in a lean to outside if composting.
*bog not big
Thank you Bryce for being so considerate and providing the conversion for the American imperial units measurements
Love the simplicity of this home and the use of all the recycled materials. Well done guys, a great reminder how beautiful and affordable a self built tiny can be.
Smiling all the way watching this video...
this is such a lovely family, the way they all are with each other, and the beautiful way they live. perfection.
If I had a nickel for every tiny house tour that features kale being chopped for dinner…
Tiny.
Epic.
Done.
Well done all of you!❤
Fantastic video. I think it's great they have their son next to them. I believe that decreases anxiety in children. Great location and I love the porch space. Thank you
Hello Marie
How are you doing today?
"Started being accepted within the landscape:... What an inspiring perspective.
This was a special place. This just feels like a well-balanced family. Happily just doing their own thing. That's the way I would love to live. 😊
This reminds me of our tiny jungle home in Costa Rica! what a wonderful way of living, fully connected and over all, growing happy and in peace, hugs from this part of the world, hope you can come this way one day man!
I love tiny houses made of recicled materials. Very affordable and also recycling.
Can I just say, that this is one of the good location to have a solitude and a peaceful living that you can have for your future family. Such a wonderful sight! 🌿🥰
Love waking up on Saturday morning to watch your next Tiny House episode 😃
Not sure I could do the bucket loo inside the house but hey it works, it’s simple and it’s right for them 😊
Stunning location, beautiful home, and a genuinely lovely family. This was a grand treat, had me smiling the whole way thru and that was just what I needed today. Thank you.
When Samson hits his teen years he'll probably want his own space. My Aunt built a small cottage for her 2 boys that could be towed on a 2nd vehicle.
I have now seen so many videos about tiny homes, on wheels and not on wheels, some are so creative that the happy inner child wakes up and some are so well designed that they are something out of a design magazine.
But this one, just hits right in the heart, there is something about the design, the thought about it, and Steve and Di themself made me fall in love with this build, love it.
At $23k USD this to me is what the tiny house movement is all about. When I see people spending $80k to $120k USD in a rural setting it just leaves me shaking my head. Not that anyone has to be a purist but knowing what is possible with good planning, resourcefulness, imagination, help from friends plus a fair bit of blood, sweat and tears I just feel like those who spend that much money are really not getting the full experience, but my motto is try to live well and let others live as they may.
You do realize that most of the cost of building a home is the labor, right? This man is a carpenter, and he worked on this with his wife and friends. They put an incredible amount of labor into this for years, which would easily cost more than $120k USD if they paid themselves at market rates. Don't be so judgmental, and don't discount the blood sweat and tears of labor they put into this. Not everyone is a carpenter by trade, and that's okay. It's good that people who spent $120k paid their carpenters a living wage to build their homes.
What a lovely family - they seem really grounded and down to earth
Truly spectacular! I love everything about this home. I am especially impressed that it's entirely off grid. Thanks, Bryce, Steve & Di!
Hello Darlene
How are you doing today?
Look at fog from above is so amazing!
Love it! I like seeing you teaching some circus skills too. I live in a small town that has a circus history and a youth circus every July. Cheers from Indiana!
Their dream come true. Very comfortable, beautiful place. Thanks for sharing Bryce & Rasa. As always, well done video. Many blessings
You really are BLESSED, ( never lucky). A $20.00 bucket? Wow! 😵💫. In America that 5 gal bucket might cost $4 to $5. dollars!
Love this home so much!
I absolutely love this tiny house - a beautiful aesthetic and ethos in the build. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
This was a wonderful episode. Thank you so much. ❤
As a mom, I think about how far from doctor's or help but all in all, think they did a fabulous job. Bryce made it seem it was VERY far out. : ) Nice to have such a retreat
And what about when it's time for their child to go to school? If they home school, what about friends for their child? I love their home but feel that they are anti-social, which is their choice but limits their child, who is still sleeping with them.
@@yubantwo2086 Maybe they aren’t that far from neighbors? I did see another show where someone lives very far away and had young children and I thought socially. It might not be the best thing but their choice. I also worried about that very low railing for the boy. I’m sure he knows not to jump off, but sometimes kids slip and if he’s running, he can get hurt. You can’t stop a lot of boo-boos, but that to me was a little scary
@deb9806 I thought the exact same thing about the railing. It would be horrible if that little boy tripped and fell.
@@yubantwo2086they mentioned that their son has friends that come over to play.
He wants to be close to his parents to sleep, which is perfectly normal. Everything seems fine here. 😊
@@kaybee6050 From your perspective, it's all fine. From mine and a few others who have weighed in, there are serious concerns.
'Free expression here and clearly none of any of our businesses except that putting their business on display, people weigh in.
What a great episode. Very good tiny home with large outdoor deck space and functional interior. The craft work shines through in a pragmatic way. Beyond that, this family seem nice and have comfortably adapted to this new way of living, interfacing with nature. Married to the land.
Love the color
You make me want to live in a tiny house
best parents any child could wish for
First of all what a great video once again! The location is simply stunning and the house is cozy and snug yet functional, come to think of it we need so little to have a comfortable good life, most of the things in life are just unnecessary clutter. And so interesting how Bryce said that now more than ever a lot of us are YEARNING to return to simplicity and nature, because this is EXACTLY how I feel especially while watching these videos! I observe that a lot of us want to just "breathe" and feel free and enjoy the nature and I hope those people who are already "there" will continue to inspire and motivate us!
Simplicity is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏿
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Such a beautiful couple and family. And wow what an amazing home you've created. So inspiring ❤
Thanks for sharing your story, NC USA 🇺🇸
Very authentic, living already 5 years in it and it's not too fancy
True
Love the house, the place and their parenting style. I deplore the culture that wraps kids in cotton wool. Kids are designed to be wild and free and in the 1950s and 60s we were. I feel so sad for the current generation of over-protected children who are never exposed to risk.
So beautiful. I love seeing folks who move to the tiny house way of life to create more peace tor themselves and their families. Like the mama said, her nervous system relaxes properly when she comes home, and thats something fewer and fewer of us have a chance to do day to day. Its a blessing to see it is possible, it is.
It was awesome to finally see an earlier tiny & one that has been lived in for some years.
I was surprised not to see a much bigger garden. (ohhh, well)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us, Di & Steven!! ✌️❤ 🇺🇸
Edit: They are living the American dream! Australia style!! 😅
Inasmuch as they have a working farm, no need for a large garden.
You are right Bryce, it is a dream to have a place like that! That view - Wow!! We'd love to have a place like this. The harder it is to get to, the better my husband likes it! He likes to visit family and friends, but he doesn't want to live right next to any of them, let alone a stranger. Good video you guys. God bless y'all.
Love how natural the space works together. 5 years living there too! This is the epitome of alternative tiny house living.
Greetings from México. I watch your videos from the beginning, and I have a piece of land in the forests of Michoacan very similar to the one in your video, my heart jumps to start making a tiny house there, thank you very much for your inspirational videos
My dream life
These ideas and builds are so inspirational. I've recently moved to Western Australia (Yanchep) and live in a very small home. It's a dream to have some land and a community of people that share same ideas to create community. Thank you Bryce and Rasa.
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
Lovely home and an even more lovely family. They are creating the most beautiful memories with their kid. Wonderful. Lucky boy:)
Wonderful places, houses and people. I love your videos! Greetings from Hungary 🫶
What beautiful views and I like the outdoor deck space.
Hello Colleen
How are you doing today?
It's looking great ❤❤❤
Wow! What a beautiful and stunning location of this tiny home. I love the place so much. Sorrounded by Beauty of Nature. Thanks Bryce for sharing this inspiring Content.
Wow! They've done such an amazing job with everything. After 5 yrs of success, they should write a book about the whole experience. The home is lovely, the land is beautiful and the family is thriving. What more can anyone want, but to just continue evolving with life changes.
Absolutely beautiful and the quietness, so peaceful and the veranda roof that also keeps the shade in the house
What a beautiful family and home. Just lovely 🥰
This is perfect!! Back to nature!! Thank you for sharing your labour of love with us ❤❤
A lovely lifestyle.
location has such an impact on how to thrive in a tiny home. Gorgeous
Another truly awesome home, family and setting! 👍😎🇨🇦🔥
Yes I have done the same thing in Northern Ireland. I have solar panels (not yet installed) I have the ability to collect rain water (also soon to be installed) no heating (that might change but I've only lived here 4 months. But it's gone from a rocky uneven mess to a garden with a couple raised beds, chicken coop, dog run, and then the rest of my 4.5 acres
What a beautiful place to live
love that old school Return of the Jedi book - raising the young one on the originals, smart parents! Great house - excellent use of recycled materials. Reminds me a lot of a sailboat in many ways...
Wow …. That’s so true… can’t agree more…. “Yearning to return to simplicity & nature!! “ is what it is… tx Bryce …. Much love 💕 / Cheers 👋/ Peace ✌️
This is a great tiny house from the use of recycled materials to the layout and design, and being off-grid. Gorgeous!
Beautiful freedom.
