this dude really is trying to play the real life version of minecraft survival mode
Seth Colby BUT HARDER
Is he playing normal or hard mode
Dutt Rex definitely hardcore mode
stolen comment
@@whoisbryce How's it a stolen comment didn't see anyone else make Minecraft references
Edit : I just went through every comment with no mention of Minecraft.. So how's he stealing
Nice to know I can build a house too, using thousands of dollars worth of equipment
Yes, the title feels misleading once you see their equipment. Plus the cost of the land.
You again!
I mean yeah but that’s the problem with any diy, you need the tools first. I also don’t think they believed that anyone would to try and follow this as an actual guide to build a house.
probably closer to $1,000,000 of equipment, and idc if they weren't expecting people to try to do it, "$34 tiny house" is just straight up incorrect. Like I think this is one of their most insultingly clickbaity videos yet lol
That's what I was thinking. Like hm, yeah after 1000s if not more money spent on equipment, obtaining resources etc then sure u can say $34
BuzzFeed: $34 house
also BuzzFeed: uses thousands of dollars of lumbering technology
I would say tens of thousands. In buzzfeed fashion; clickbaitttttt
@@Mallyqt I came here to say the same thing! High tens of thousands!
Don't forget the value of the land large enough to have a wooded area like that. This project is easily over $100,000 and took years to set up for with only a tiny portion of the expenses and time going toward the tiny house.
Came to say the same thing. Super annoying honestly
$34 for each house you’ll need the machines to make it the $34 is after prices of the machines
“We Build a $34 Tiny House in 3.5 Days”
“so we cut this tree down 6 months ago for the project”
The wood needs time to age so it can be used.
@@anthonyfazio503 that’s not the point
Right . I guess the prep time doesn’t count .
Also used like a $15,000 dollar machine to cut the wood with lol
Also when you are drying the wood you have to seal the end grain to prevent uneven drying. Usually it takes wood much longer than 6 months to reach average relative humidity. Wood never gets dry unless you use them for fire and turn them to charcoal. Wood retains various amounts of moisture depending on the areas humidity which takes up to several years
More accurate title: I helped my friends build a wooden tent with wood gathered from the land they own and expensive tools they own on the land they own, it didn't cost me anything!
Tools aren’t counted as they an be rented borrowed or free
@@UKsystems rented costs money, or you have to know someone who will let you borrow those tools. Those two things aren't accessible to everyone and it's misleading to be like "this cost me $37" when you got a lot of stuff for free that most people don't have access to. Like I said, a more accurate title would include all the help he got, not implying to have done it all himself with $37.
@@amandasunshine2 but if you buy a house you don’t in life the builders tools most people who own land like this will have everything and there are many places who lend tools for a deposit
@@UKsystems yes, you do. It's literally built into the cost of the house 🙄 if you hire a construction company, tool purchasing and maintenance costs are factored into their operating costs
@@UKsystems not to mention, who owns land like this? No one I know. How many people do you know that own land with enough space and lumber- worthy trees, let alone land at all?
This needs to be made into a project to help the housing/homelessness crisis
PoRkChOpZ 2530 the homeless should help not just looking for free stuff
M Jack
you be homeless and see how hard it is
M Jack it’s not that easy
A man already started building FREE tiny houses for the homeless in Los Angeles, but then when he was giving them out, the city BANNED tiny houses from their city/making them ILLEGAL and started giving the guy massive hell for trying to help people. Look it up, the Government is so cruel to people in need and people trying to help. :'(
are u sure you want homeless living in forest that had high chance of forest fire? they just going burn whole city down... those selfish bastard...
nobody talking bout how he got free toilet paper
Karen’s be like
leaves lol
@Literally Me or leaves
@Literally Me ikr, asians been doing that since forever, more economical and CLEAN
Bruh😂😂😂
While we in quarantine, they vibin and making a smurf hut
Ok
Ok
Why y’all all saying ok??
@@poopoofarter Ok
Jack K Donald hahhaha, love the spirit, stay safe y’all.
“Im gonna give a tour. Shelf, bed that’s it.”😂😂😂
check out his prior house XD
Man you've inspired me. After many years of depression and lack of confidence I've found a reason to live for, making myself happy building my own tiny house is so Majestic.
That's not a house that's a tent made out of wood.
Does a tent have a glass door? No
Breathin Ariana this one does.
@@breathinariana3825 does a house look like that? No
Marco Ploeg did anybody ask for ur opinion? No
@@droptak Can I have your opinion?
All I can think about is someone having to poop but it’s raining 😕
Or snowing.
If it raining you get a shower duh and you dont need to wipe. Gosh.... just grow up phill.
Probably need an umbrella
🤣
If you live like that I get the feeling you wouldn’t mind
“The community could harvest wood in their area”
Me living in a downtown city: 😬
Who says it has to come from trees?
That's fantastic! I just went straight to amazon and purchased my own tiny house for just 34 $! It will be delivered next week and I will put it into my garden!
where send link
Okay, but his toilet paper is going to be gone with the wind.
most of it is going to be going into the soil and it looks like there is loads of it growing there, if he goes for a hike he would likely find enough for a year
Or winter time. Same with the lack of insulation. Unless they're in some temperate year round climate, didn't see where they're at.
Someone should write a story... "Gone with the wind" has a good ring to it..
uses thousands of dollars of equipment but only counts the $30 of screws 😂
kkkkkkkkk
And waits 6 months for the wood to dry and only counts the 3.5 days
well they already had it laying around, might have been a good idea to include the cost of the fuel and wood XD though admittedly they will likely be dropping a lot more trees soon enough
Exactly what I thought. With the thousand dollar equipment, they would have built a huge house with all the trees they have there.
@@makaione7608 he was speedrunning bro XD
They had to wait like 6 months for the wood to dry to make planks out of it, so isn’t it more like it took them 6 months and 3.5 days?
A place like this would be have a rotating storage of logs available, they just needed to cut down a few to replace the ones they took from their inventory
Of course, but it is interesting and the wood could be bought at your local wood shop. It would not cost you $34.00 but it would still be cheap.
i wonder how long it would take to dry if he just stuck two ceder posts in the ground threw some dry sticks and a few carpets on the floo add a undried frame then lash it all together with a few pegs. a leather or canvas tarp with a rocket mass heater and it might only take a few months before its completely dried out
the 6 months drying dont count.... they could have gone to the shop for quicker results but having so many trees made no sense. great project
"house", is actually a off-grid cabin in the shape of a huge tent, with no plumbing or even insulation
Define house.
I wouldn't call a wooden tent a house, if that's what you're asking, if not, look it up on wiki
There’s a difference between what’s a house and what’s comfortably liveable, that’s my point, it’s just a click baity video chill out
Build a communal bathroom with several of these houses “campground” style, and you have a great community project for the homeless. 👍
Good point
I’m surprised the foundation is just simply wood resting on ground, rather than actually being “in” the ground. I questioned the stability of this house’s foundation once rain hits and the ground softens up.
It depends on the ground and drainage
1:27 I know he wants to be one with nature but taking a tree to the face is a little bit too much one with nature. This is why lumberjacks have 'retreat paths' not sit right next to the tree and do nothing. Also the foundation and roof and everything else will rot. The roof will become leaky.
tbh the dude is a forester he might have been distracted by thinking about the project and being recorded. rob will likely oil it a load of times over the coming months and they will take over doing so for long enough that i wouldn't be surprised if it lasted 6 years with the foundation getting repaired once or twice
We built a tiny house for $34 plus thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
he could likely do it within a week or a few weeks if he made some wooden mallets and such. the rental for the above is also pretty cheap and the deal with him is that he basicly leases a portion of other folks properties in exchange for the use of their tools and such. my family has about the same amount of stuff helping such a modest and helpful neighbor move in would honestly be a pleasure.
and also however much it cost to purchase the land
@@markrodgers5221 He is basically an employee, in my state when one lives/works on a farm one is required to have the equivalent to a cabin for such an employee to live in.
hundreds if it's rented!!
Not counting the door cost.
Imagine you go out to a park and see a man munching on a tree
Ok
Or a man pooping
High Lights 11 lol and wiping with leves
That's probably happened to a few thousand people by now with me to be honest. :)
Rob Greenfield hehe, you’re like the coolest dude ever. 🤩
I am an architect student who wants to start my own tiny house business one day hopefully 😊
Especially for homeless :)
Good luck ;)
Gd luck 👍👍
@@ZeloNA. There have been groups trying to build tiny houses for the homeless. The problem is the opposition.
In fact, simply housing homeless people saves money because they are healthier and don't use emergency rooms as often. That's why Utah, a Republican state, is housing homeless in unused hotels.
Good luck!!
Lmfao this clown was like now “we do this” and the camera pans over he’s doing nothing but watching them work he had one job to make his table and it was still fugly 🤣
Thank you for the laugh, I needed it terribly. When he got to the shower, it was over for me from there, I was in tears. I however should have known something was up when he started eating the tree. Love it...
Ha ha! So true!
That's how it rolls off grid! Your ancestors got by fine without indoor plumbing.
Off grid living... it's quite peaceful really. You learn how precious our resources are and you use only what you absolutely have to.
I love it, but I can't stop thinking "this is how cults are started"
You got a point
True that
That’s hilariously true 😂😂
i watched midsommar yesterday...omg
🤣🤣 omg so true, I understand being conscientious about our environment but this is going a bit far. Who wants to go pee or #2 in the forest?
This is so dope! My eye twitched at the shower bucket, but I'm definitely here for everything else lol
For a little more confort, there are solar panel showers that are made for camping but are pretty nice (and you don't have to shower with cold water ^^)
@@meality w
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
Guys I am learning woodworking shed plans at *WoodBlueprints. Com* I recommend this website all you guys who are beginner or advance in woodworking
"UR EYE TWITCHED"........Wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahhahahhaha
$10,000 - Sawmill
$300,000 - Land
😂🤣
Id get it
Tho you could just hire a portable mill for a day for a couple hundred dollars and easily get enough wood for this one if you had the logs ready
Stop being negative, there are many ways to get cheap land. You can build a simple tiny home with leftover materials.
@@FilmFlam-8008 Agreed, $34 dollars isn't the real cost however building a sustainable dueling for pennies on a dollar is very realistic.
You need to be creative and give up most of the crap that is holding you down.
My realistic cost is $10 to $15 thousand dollars without the land
why does the dog in the background look starving 3:38
Just thinking the same. Can see a lot of ribs
Sucks for that dog, the only meat in the hippie commune is him.
I noticed the same
who else watched this video so they can make their own
just me okay :)
That isn't a house, and he has free skilled labor and thousands of dollars in power tools. As always your video titles are misleading.
“A house is a single-unit residential building, which may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex, structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.”
-Wikipedia.....and life.
Those tools were used for different things in the past they were not just all bought for this. Maybe you should not be watching these videos if all you do is criticize and not enjoy or learn from them!
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
give it a few months, the climate there is really nice so he is taking his time. its not really free as he will be working there for the next few months, same with the tools. rob has done this a number of times.
He doesn't own these tools,and just knowing people and asking really goes far sometimes
Tiny "house"? No. You built a wooden tent for hipsters.
U mean a triangular shed
@@hollyposluszny337 Yeah, or maybe like a large dog house or really big birdhouse.
Yeah you can't even lay down in there comfortably.
@@motiemo nobody is going to do this in the real world..makes a nice video but this is not a real world solution to the housing crisis. Enjoy eating twigs and wiping your butt with pine cones and good luck with the shopping!! And how's your commute to work? Lotsa good paying jobs in the middle of nowhere I bet.
House bc it will past decades
that house still looks like in better condition then my own apartment
"how simple it can be to build a tiny house" ignoring the millions of $ worth of land, equipment, manpower, and expertise to do it then sure, $34 is cheap XD
As I was watching this I thought, “I wonder if this tiny house is going to be used to house volunteers doing the WWOOF program.” I must be psychic 😂. Super cool!
this could actually be a really efficient way of building houses, like for the homeless!
garbage person yeah but the problem is it’s too expensive for them. this would be affordable
garbage person I totally agree
"Efficient" if you already own hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars worth of sustainable wooded land, tens of thousands of dollars of equipment, etc. This in no way cost $34 to make, and less than 0.01% of people watching could do the same thing.

There are many tiny house communities popping up to create housing for people without homes.
Look up Opportunity Village in Oregon for example!
This looks like a perfect place to chill 😌

Love it. I would make a platform for under the shower so you are not standing in mud as you get clean. 💜
You don't want to have a lot of people making houses out of wood......

Dutch? Southern France is speaking French... Doesn't sound Dutch accent to me, rather the French accent.
The woman sounded french to me too, the man however DEFINITELY has a Dutch accent. It’s painfully accurate 😂
@@TheWillemyn123 yeah I had to watch it back to notice the Dutch accent with the man. The French accent of the woman was more compelling.
He's Dutch cuz on his t-shirt it says "bergen op zoom". That's a city in the Netherlands. Plus his accent is very Dutch indeed. I can relate 😅
Shar I can too 😂 actually live really close to Bergen, didn’t notice his shirt tho!
I knew in 0.2 seconds beardy man was dutch
thats a weird flex
All I can see after a quick scroll is hate comments (imagine having the time or energy for that) so I’d like to say I loved this video 😍 so pleasing to watch for some reason. An awesome idea

This was both fascinating and inspiring. Having the know-how and machinery is obviously invaluable, but it is nice to think about just how basic things CAN be. It would be interesting to come back in a few years and look at how it weathered.

"We built a 34 dollar house"
Homeless people: "its free real estate, literally"
That house will sell for $5 million in London
Fingering Things ✔️ lmao
Worst joke ever
aka "How to Build a Tool Shed in 4 Days"
$34 tiny house is impressive, great job!
Rob turned this video all about the price! Completely misleading, the whole project this couple is working on means so much more
so what you're saying is that we could really easily solve the homelessness crisis and we choose not to
basicly yeah
The main issue for homelessness is those suffering from mental illness, drug addiction, or both? Money would be better spent on dealing with the core issues that causes the problem.
I understand the thought but it's not that simple. Mental illness and drug addiction are the main issues. I spent months in Brazil for and outreach problem. We basically built tiny homes for a group of 100 homeless folks. After one week we found out that the entire project was a failure. They came in, stripped all of the cords, pipes, and furniture, sold it and moved on.
That "tiny house" is bigger than my bedroom.
So mine is more than tiny. I literally couldn't lie on the floor.
I believe it is called micro?
Harry Potter is that you?
Who tf wanted to lie on the floor
Syahfir izki no that I want to, just that I can’t
Chitora Taufic probably lol
That looks cool. Can you build a tiny house for me in Los Angeles, CA area for that price? Get back to me.
Nobody:
Me: 0:02 when I dont have anything to eat in quarantine
IT'S TENT MADE OUT OF WOOD!!!!
Cold spring water shower? Yikes lol
My bones ache just thinking about it.
This is not no 34 dollars unless it’s free slave labor, free materials, free equipment etc $34 is the amount of coffee the need in the mornings
it was free labour, free materials (they already had or found everything but the screws) free equipment (they already had and come on if someone was baking a cake you wouldn’t factor the price of the oven into the cost ) so yeah $34
Omg I would LOVE this tiny house! Btw happy pride month y’all!❤️🏳️🌈
Happy pride! :D
As a tiny house/van lover I immediately clicked lmao also noticed that Antoine is Dutch lekker bezig Antoine 😂🇳🇱
bergen op zoom!!
The cost was the depreciation on the equipment used, the opportunity cost of billing out your labor, the price he could have sold the boards for, etc. This was not a $35 house. It was much more than that.
I think u guys r missing the main point. Which is that seasonal, reasonably comfortable camping accommodations can b created for much less money than most people think. Not to mention the immense satisfaction from creating something useful, rather than sitting in front of a tv or other screen for hours on end snacking on junk food and making fun of or criticizing those who choose to spend their lives doing otherwise.
This is how villages were able to house people for ~thousands of years~ before Regulation, Big Banks, and HOAs
They should make this for homeless people especially during this time
I'm pretty sure the owners are Dutch, I could hear it on their accent, I'm Dutch too, and the guy is wearing a shirt from a Dutch city...
*that moment when you scroll through the comments and see all of the comments you wish you wrote*
we built a $34 tiny house in 3.5 days, with a good $15,000 dollars minimum in tools and equipment!
Loved this! Brought me back some childhood memories with my grandparents in the woods, the biodegradable TP was a struggle for me when i visited them haha I was always jealous of people that did have the regular paper one 😂 here you have me now wanting to go zero waste and realizing I’ve done it before 😂
Idk why I thought this was a diy video. I can’t do this 😂
I think its like making an upside table. Something about having it stuck into the ground. You fill in the walls. And then make a top. You use certain material for the top to weather proof it. You put wiring & installation in between the outer part of the wall. Then you cover it up w/ more wood. I have no clue how wiring & water works. Lots of cutting, measuring, nails, glue, other things to keep moisture out, & such. Paint. Design for looks. And figure out the placement of the rooms. And idk. Im just making up sh.
I think i could manage making an off grid wooden tent. Couldnt tell you sh about how to hook up solar power tho.
He lied, he only built this in 10: minutes 39 seconds. What a rip off
You had me until "compost toilet"
Would a hole in the ground a shovel be better, oh entitled one??
that not a real composting toilet that was just a bucket.
Guys, attention, this is not in anyway a tutorial. They where just having fun and working together. They have the proper equipment that can be thousands of dollars (pounds, etc.) It costed them $34 because that money was spent prior.
Years ago my Dad rented these out at our campground in Pigeon Forge, TN, they were called Timber Tents
Easily costs more than $34 all things
considered
Germany: Hello, hello, I'm the Bauordnungsamt and we do not approve.
Great! Now I just need to buy a flatbed truck, a giant saw, and acres of land!
or just promise to work for someone who does for a few weeks to pay for the house, your food, and then continue working to stay there while you find the next person willing to host you
I'm not the one to be mean - but this is more of a shelter for sleeping during the summer days. That is not a tiny house.
My head kept saying, “I LOVE this! I want to do this!”
when i was in hs, my teacher and a select number of students started on a tiny home. it’s still in construction but it’s still cool to see it being build
This house looks so cute !! You’re the best thing to happen to buzzfeed . We’re all so disconnected
The other two sound like they are from the Netherlands 😅
They probably are, the guy with the beard has a T-shirt saying “Bergen Op Zoom”!
Jessyca Van schoonhoven AHA! I didn’t notice that. Yeah, wss een Nederlander 😅
WHY? WHY? WHY? Why would you build any structure without a foundation?! Wood is not a foundation. All you need are rocks, cement blocks, or bricks to make any structure last many, many years. Without a foundation any structure will literally rot into the ground in just a few years. Folks don't make this mistake.
It’s really not $34 if you take into account all the material it took to cut, move, and smooth out the wood. Also add the building materials (shovels, electric screwdriver, goggles, measuring tape, etc) prices and bam you have the real price right there. On top of that I doubt your average joe is gonna find a glass slide door in a dump yard so yea...
How would you live in that?
Impressive I guess I can save more of my money now
You sound like my husband.
You could get the house built more cheaply if you hire someone to do it rather than doubling that cost on the equipment used to make your own
@@faultyhurdle6249 Let's see - land for free, thousands in equipment, and lumber for free. That really holds down costs.
He is Dutch! I could hear it from the beginning 😂 and then I saw his Tshirt, and I was sure (bergen op zoom is a Dutch place)
So, it's a concept. It would be extremely difficult to live this way in winter. There's no way to warm yourself or cook food, no canning or food preservation...this feels more like click bait than a real tiny house.
The reality is 99% of government jurisdictions would never allow a building like that to pass code. 'Green Dreams' is appropriate, just a dream for 99% of peeps.
Omg I would LOVE this tiny house! Btw happy pride month y’all!❤️🏳️🌈
Antoine looks like he actually builds and lives from wodd
This is like building a sims house with only the roof
What part of burning fossil fuels at an exorbitant rate for your domestic needs and wants is in any way shape or form of grid? You're probably, in reality, consuming three to four times the amount of fossil fuels and resources with all your equipment and tools than somebody in a metropolitan setting would which means that your carbon footprint is three to four times larger than somebody living in small town america with a family of five in a 3,000 ft² home. Just because you move out to the middle of nowhere and cut a couple trees down, with fossil fueled equipment I might add, and build yourself a house doesn't mean that you're off grid... And you friend certainly are not! You're actually perpetuating the misinformation campaign and myths that big oil and gas wants you to be spreading... Think about it, why would anybody ever go off the grid? When you boil it all away the only real reason that anybody would conclude as the only reason to go off grid would be to reduce and eliminate the use and necessity of fossil fuels because that's what powers the grid. That's the entire reasoning behind the concept of off-grid is to reduce your carbon footprint and quit contributing to the burning of fossil fuels which ultimately results in our catastrophic existential crisis that we're all facing currently. So when you claim to be off grid yet you're literally burning three or four times the amount of fossil fuels and consuming just as many more resources you're actually taking 12 steps backwards for everyone forward and are doing more damage than you will ever be able to make up for!
Also...The most entertaining part of this whole video is when you started talking smack about the previous owners not building in a sustainable way when you're literally standing in front of a giant fossil fueled piece of equipment! How unbelievably contradictive and completely asinine!
so in the winter you won’t even have walls around you on the toilet to keep you from freezing? won’t the wood in the house warp and shrink some since it wasn’t let dry over a time period of some kind?
That’s anything but simple💀🕺🏽
