Why I Live Off Grid: FREEDOM, No Mortgage, No Utilities

A quick chat about off grid/simple living and why I love it and feel it’s important. #homestead #offgrid #diy

[KYLESCABIN]

Some common questions I’ve been getting:
1) property taxes. Of course I have to pay them. When you live rural they are much cheaper. I have a simple cabin that has no plumbing, septic, electric, etc… so that is much cheaper as well.
2) health insurance. Don’t have it and don’t want it. My health insurance is that I eat real food and stay active and happy. I have cash set aside if I get injured. Haven’t had “health insurance” for years. The system is designed to keep you enslaved to the system.
3) off grid and on YouTube. The grid is the electrical grid. I am not tied to it, therefore I am off grid. I have a small solar setup, use an outhouse for a toilet. Off grid doesn’t mean you live out in the middle of nowhere and never have contact with society. I did that for awhile though.

The point of this video is to show people who are unhappy with the rat race/city life that this is an option. You can do it if you want to. It takes far less money, and is just a healthy, low stress, great way to live in my opinion. Its not for everybody but it’s worked out great for me. Thanks for watching!

I’m 65. I started living off grid 2 years ago. I love it. That said my family thinks that I’m touched in the head. No matter what the weather is outside, I look out and see the beauty all around me. And that brings me peace that they don’t have.

I am a young black man from the Bronx New York and I am so ready to follow the footsteps of you sir. The fact that you don’t have to rely on some corrupt entity to live your life is Beautiful…

I paid up all my mortgages in 2yrs while working with a Financial Adviser. I’m 50 and my husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. We got to realize that the secret to financial freedom is making better investments.

I think the hardest thing is finding a companion who also wants to live this lifestyle.

I’m 54. Been on my own property & off grid for the last 25 months. Building my own house right now. Wish I would have done this sooner. It’s not easy, it’s hard work, but man…mentally, physically, spiritually…never been better. It’s phenomenal.

I'm 14 and this has been my dream for 3 years. I'm just saving and waiting for the day I turn 18 and can actually start. Thank you for this video, it was amazing 😊

I am an old man that can tell you for sure you have truly figured things out correctly. For a young man you are wise beyond your years. Do what makes you feel fulfilled and you will never have regrets.

I’m from your dad’s generation. It took my entire working life to finally buy some land and build a recreational property in the Ozark hills. You can’t believe how many times I’ve mentioned that I should’ve done this earlier. A lot earlier. You’re a brilliant man to have listened to your heart. Well done. And by the way, I have learned a great deal from your channel.

Kyle is winning at life. This is awesome.. Its never crazy of anyone to take control of their life.. Peace of mind is a priceless commodity..

Man this hits home. My dream was to live like this. I’m 30, got four kids, so many bills, so much debt, I feel like I’m trapped in a prison and can’t get out of the system. If I didn’t have kids I’d sell everything and try to live this lifestyle. Seems so peaceful. Maybe one day.

I’m 24 and my fiancé and I just purchased a homestead on the other side of Canada, we are moving out there in a month and couldn’t be more excited to start working towards a comfortable level of self sufficiency. We aren’t meant to live in cities all crammed together

[Hardcore-Homestead]

Living off grid is amazing. Lots of folks say they can't cause they have kids. We lived in a tent for three months while we built out cabin. Me, my wife, and two boys are out here doing it.

The biggest hang up to people getting out and doing it though is the lack of basic trade skills these days. Most people want a white collar computer or office based job. Working with your hands is becoming more and more valuable every day.

I think what you're doing is super cool. Inner peace is priceless.

Im starting very small. Im making my own compost in my backyard. Its already got me excited to have started learning. The more I learn about myself and this world, the more convinced I am that some people have to get out of the system or they will die. Im one of them.

I'm 26 and me and my wife moved out to alaska and built our own house a year and a half ago. We live a two hour drive to the nearest gas station or grocery store. We absolutely love our new life

For a young man, you're very smart to listen to your heart and act on it. A lot of people dream this life style, but they never actually take that first step.
