Building an Off-Grid Modern Home: His Escape from Never-Ending Bills!

Welcome back to another Liveration episode!
In this video we speak to Paul, who lives in North Devon with his family, in a stunning, self built, Off Grid home.

This amazing, modern looking, Off Grid home sits on 15 acres of land, along with a barn and native woodland.
Paul has built a lifestyle here that is fully off grid, his power comes from the sun, his heat comes from a fire using the trees that he fells from his own land, and water comes from collecting and filtering rain water, and drinking water comes from a spring out of the ground.
He also raises his own animals and grows fruit trees!

Paul stares his story with us, of how he came to living this way from a small 'chicken coop' of a house and barely affording the monthly bills.

We also get a full tour of his land and a tour of the outside and the inside of his house.
This house comes with all you'd imagine from a so-called 'normal' house.

How does Paul and his family make this lifestyle work?....find out in the video!!

Thanks to Paul for sharing his story with us and showing us around his off grid home and land.

What a crazy world we live in. Can't afford to live in concrete jungles, all crammed into street after street, and all while all the big suppliers charge a fortune and make massive profit year by year. Yet this guy HAD to look at alternative options and it turns out a spot of paradise is affordable. Something very backwards with this. I absolutely envy this man and I hope they all continue to be happy out there. Got me thinking hard!

[davidrichards-]

Fantastic lifestyle & he's 100% correct about the bullshit within the system that's why they don't want any of us to escape from it because people would soon realise they don't need the system to survive the system needs us to exist !!!! This man is richer than any billionaire living within the matrix !!! Good luck to him & his family !!

[HappyBerryCrochet]

It's funny how being priced out of on-grid life meant they became so much richer ☺️

[shuhel]

This chap is an inspiration. What I admire about him is that he is so humble and honest. He is everyone’s perfect neighbour.

[ianross]

Everything this bloke says, makes total sense. The weird thing is, he and his family are natural and spiritual Millionaires.

[allegrosotto]

Great setup- and a child playing a piano not scrolling on a phone, best bit👍

[citytrees]

No television! And can I just say thanks to this channel for not playing loud music the entire video and just letting us listen to the guy. There is still some background music throughout and you could take it out - just have a bit of music here and there. Your viewers like the peace and quiet.

[deborahg]

This guy is 100 percent correct. I sold everything and got out, live in a van but it’s nice. I don’t regret it. Life is becoming unsustainable. And that’s a serious fact.

[greggrimer]

This man is rich. Has everything he needs and spends 4 days a week with his family. True wealth.

[DataMineNo]

Thanks for keeping the swearing in, I know swearing isnt for everyone, but its such a human way to add something extra to an expression.

[keithw]

I’m off grid, in a wood for last 10 years. The idea at the end about time, that’s the thing that decided for me. I was well paid, but realised my time was worth more to me than anything I could earn, because your time is finite.

[LailandiAdventures]

Love that theory about becoming the hill.

[EmsCare]

This man takes full responsibility to look after his family and animals, i deeply respect him and his hard work.
His phylosophy about the economic system is beautiful as well, it is the painfull truth, people value money and material possessions more then there time with there loved ones.

[heidibear]

Everything he has done, we did but in Africa. We couldn't afford to pay utilities and levies and transport etc
Now we only have a monthly cost of internet and dried goods as we setup properly.
The peace we feel not having the stress of bills every month is incredible. Yes the life is more labour intensive but being outside most of the day feels so great.
The only thing we have to spend is time, how we spend that, is all that truly matters.
I'm so happy to be able to give my son life closer to the Earth.
This video was so encouraging!! ❤

[spence]

"I am the hill" ....I bloody Love it😂 🧡✊️

[Flipbug_The_Whimsical]

His theory at 8:00 about becoming more connected to the land is absolutely beautiful. It makes so much sense.

[markburton]

I know Paul and family, and I'm glad he's got this platform to showcase what he has achieved. Building this life and pursuing being off grid has given him wisdom beyond his years. I hope this gives other a small wedge in the brains, question the system and what other opportunities can be created. All the best to Paul and family and to anyone else giving off grid a go.

[CCP_Operative]

Can tell this chap doesn't enjoy conforming to someone elses plan. 👍Brilliant

[paulone-off]

Listening to Pauls comments on being trapped in the system, is like listening to the thoughts that are constantly spinning round my mind, this literally sums up what society has become and the trappings of modern living. Absolutely love what he's built here, it's perfect. Buying land and being able to do this now is becoming more and more difficult, cost, restrictions as to what you can do etc. We all know why that is. What an excellent way of living.

[mikeembe]

Lucky folks, I wish them well.
20 years younger, I'd be looking for a similar set-up,
plugged into the NHS now and knacked before I wake up in the mornings, don't get old ... 😅😂🤣😊 ... keep smiling 👍
