I'm no longer living alone on my off-grid property

In this episode I prepare my 5 acre off grid property for 2 new friends that are moving onto the property with me and making this an official commune!

After 6 years of full time van life and travel I have bought my dream land and plan to create an off-grid homestead! Occy and I would love for you to join us on this journey and learn with us along the way!

I think Occy will love having Leo round as a friend. 😊

It's so nice seeing you thriving with your property. You look so well and happy. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. Hugs to you and Occy

[lynnloehr]

Not going to lie, I thought we were going to meet the "partner" from the title of the video. Glad you have folks to help you share the load. It's good to see you looking so happy.

Having friends around you is a blessing people need people!

[Cassiebuble]

What a difference having the vanity and half door - so great. Looking forward to the journey as your community expands. Lovely for Occy to have a friend too. Your videos are always an inspiration - thank you.

It always cracks me up the friendly rivalry that Max and Eamon have. His comment that Eamon won't know what hit him because Max will have help from Glen who is a personal trainer was so funny. They're like to teenagers competing. LOL.

Hey Max, what do you think about putting a Dutch door on the outhouse? It enables someone to have privacy on the lower half and open the top half, if they want circulation or just be able to watch the view. This idea came to me when I saw the door less outhouse. Good luck with the new additions to the property. Say Hi to Occy… 🤓🥰

It’s always good to have close neighbours specially close friends when you live in off grid areas. Besides that you can have their company, if suddenly something unexpected happens you guys have each other to help in second. ❤

[trowdytrav]

Hey Max, it’s great that you’re opening up your property to let other people live on your land but make sure that you’ve covered yourself legally just in case that the new living arrangement with your friends goes pear-shaped. All the best 🍻

"It's not good for man to be alone". Yes, I think it's wonderful having a more communal approach there, with one or 2 tiny homes and whatnot.

[lililinda]

Hey Max as a follower for 4 plus years, like most of your followers we love you and care about what happens. If you don’t mind, please put some of us at ease and explain the legal framework for folks living on your property. I’ve owned 5 homes in 20 years, and sadly had a massive horror story completely unpredictable. You cannot, ever, predict people’s actions and in fact what happened to me was due to someone’s actions with mental health issues, who was a close family member. Despite caring about them, still, I now have learned to protect myself no matter what.

[merilynp-j]

Hey Max - can I suggest making a screen for the top part of the toilet door - just to keep those pesky bugs out!!

[richiereid]

Your “Partner” Max? Stoked you have found someone mate 👏❤️👏

[susannahwhitaker]

Max, I love you vlogs and they certainly make an older 78year old lady smile happily lol. Take care lovely man 🤗

[monarawlings]

I think having other people on the property is a great idea. Just having people around will lighten both your workload and your mental load. I am so happy for you.

[Kasia]

I think the commune idea is so amazing, especially as I imagine it will be other van life people needing a base but still wanting to wander from time to time, so it won’t necessarily be everyone all the time but plenty of space when you are all together.

[csa_yt]

This is great! Just make sure you have proper CONTRACTS in place for whoever comes to live on your property... with RULES etc... We never know... 😘

[bethb]

What wonderful bird sounds to wake up to‼️🐦🐦‍⬛🦜 As others said, you look happy and relaxed, Max, good to see❤ Nice for Occy to have a friend.❣️🐾🐾

[lizbarnes]

I love your relationship with Eamon and Bec. They are so fun. 💛💛💛
