I'm surprised how balanced and simple you are! You don't boast, you don't praise your lifestyle as a paradise and an example to follow, but you are reserved and talk about your little joys in life. It sounds very sincere
I’m off grid, no rent or mortgage… my expenses are about 700 a month USA… but, I still need to buy stuff for improvements. But, I’ve got a little shack w a woodstove and water and plenty of electricity w abt 2500 USD invested in solar and an 800 USD invested in a dual fuel generator to charge my batteries during inclement weather.
I like how open and honest you are. About many things. Money. The lack of glamour. The inevitable failures. Bad ideas that need to be corrected later on... Even "noises in the toilet in a tiny house". These are real concerns that most would avoid talking about, but they do bring stress to life. I like it that you talk about these things. Thank you. PS: And regarding your honesty about posting videos that were not related to tiny living (like the hiking ones), I follow some channels from Japan that do van camping. There is no talking, and that's why I and others are there. Just seeing the person camping, cooking, breathing in the nature around them. Then, suddenly, in one video, the guy decides to talk. It was like glass shattering. Not because I can't stand people talking, but that's not why I'm there for. A video from another channel in the US, the guy is silently camping on his truck (house built atop the truck), and then he decides to play the guitar and sing. If I wanted to see people play the guitar and sing, I would have searched for it, like I did many times. So it's nice that you had this experience, and I'm sure you will get out of this "downwards" spiral. Your content is really valuable.
I admire your self-reliance. I recently encountered the statement "I have stood on the backs of others for my own comfort." Here in the States it expresses a major problem in present society. It is the complete antithesis of the kind of life you seek. So glad you didn't allow yourself to become trapped in what others might have expected of you.
Thank ypu so much for the kind words!☺️I am, however, also very gratefull for all the various connections that I have in my life, that allowed for me to become so independent: like my family that taught me to walk and talk and the welfare society that gives me security and freedom to do what I do. I also heard a great expression: that every man/woman is not an island but a peninsula: semi-autonomous but always to a motherland land made you and that you depend on! I think there is much wisdom in that☺️
Anders, your past and current story is so beautiful. I think schools for children ages 8 - 18 should recommend your channel for young people's life plans / skills / choices. We don't all have to grow up and work in an office cubicle and be wage slaves. God Bless You.
I am surprised the Norway hiking videos were not so popular! I loved those videos and hope to see more like it. It was very relaxing to watch. But I will keep watching whatever you decide to put out because I think the brand is yourself and your dog :)
I did not see those videos been recommended at all... the algorythm sometimes plays tricks. :O Anyway, I like to see you doing all kinds of choirs around your own house and garden. :) That is entertaining.
The honesty and transparency are what brings me back to your channel...and of course the great tiny living content. Also very much looking forward to seeing the build of your new place!
Staying out of debt is key. Paid everything off in 2007 and it is freeing. And with today’s costs I am so glad. I don’t know how the majority of people are doing it. His and hers car payments, mortgages, cable, electric etc. Not to mention if you have a couple kids. Your lifestyle is very calming and stress free. Keep it up. You dog seems to love it as well! Money isn’t everything.
Well done on paying everything off. It's a great feeling, i remember the feeling of paying off our first house 😊. We have been very fortunate to have bought and sold our houses along our lives and not having a monthly payment, cars are bought second hand and in cash. But we also plan for things and try to not let our ego get in the way of us making good financial decisions. We don't need a big car as we only have one child and a cat 😺. We don't need flashy designer clothes, but we are building a holiday house next to a river, not big, but the views are amazing and we will get a lot of joy from the space, much more than driving fancy cars 😊
I'm actively retired. I live in a tiny trailer house I built. It's situated on a farm where I work quarter days doing odd farm jobs. So my rent and amenities are covered. I'm glad I had the foresight before retirement. I'm very happy.
Another input from New Zealand. I have two favourite youtube channels--yours, and the restoration of a French chateau. I prefer to spend my valuable time watching and listening to people who are down-to-earth, honest, and who have positive aims in life. The world is so full of those who are airy-fairy, and would lead one down the garden path with their fanciful ideas. I am 81 yrs old, and have experienced generations that were much more steadfast and upright in their practices and beliefs than today's lot, on the whole; and I truly appreciate your channel which assures me that there are still some "out there" that know how to experience a better life than most people desire to live. Leave the rat race to the rats, I say! Keep inspiring us, Anders: we need more like you, and Boisimas?
Thanks Graham, it really makes me happy to hear that you enjoy my channel! And thank you also for sharing! Haha, he’s name is Borsimat (means Captain of the boat in Greenland where he’s from)
This was great..Seeing your part of the world in what ever form it takes is inspiring and has great value..Trusting that life presents you with opportunities to develop the life your living..The new house build will no doubt bring changes your way, but great rewards also..Kindness your way.. Lochness Scottish Highlands..
Your lists of assets sounds nice Anders but in my opinion those are not your biggest assets. Your biggest asset you built up in these four years is what you have learned. You learned to become a public speaker, You learned how to write a book and publish it, You learned how to create a permaculture garden, You learned how to create video's, You learned how to build a water system for your house, Your learned all kinds of other building stuff, You learned how to forage, but most of all you learned to stand on your own two feet and that's an asset no one can take away from you! Enjoy your weekend 🍂
Thank you very much for eveything you do and say. I'm also in the country, in France, and I try live as much as naturally as possible, mainly for my health ! And when I improve my way of life for my health, I grow my food, I don't buy plastic etc, I left city for countryside, and in fact I save money because I don't buy many things, so I could work less hours for my boss... and less and less !!!
Yesterday l watched a channel of somebody from Norway and today l am watching this channel from Denmark. This is really amazing how much we all have in common, how beautiful and colourful the world is, and how much we can share with each other. This is really something as big as the world is. I have come to a conclusion that people all over the world show the same kindness, love, values and many other things. We may have different cultures, languages, countries etc..but at the end of the day we are the same people with same values. Thanks to the guy who invented English language and thanks to the one who invented UA-cam. 🙏 To the owner of this channel.. I wish you all the best. You have more simple style of living and l do like the ideas you share. Just subscribed to your channel.. Greetings from Russia.
I love your values and all of your work, including those Norway videos! I think you are very wise and creative. What you have to share is very valuable! People really need to hear about alternatives to consumerism because, you are absolutely right, the planet cannot sustain our current level of destruction to create ever more luxury! It is beyond sad what we have done to it! 😢
For me, you have a wholesome, down to earth, pioneering spirit. As long as you maintain simplicity and creativity, you will do really well. You are not caught up in the trappings of must haves. You take time and give a lot of thought to how best this lifestyle, you have opted for, will serve you. I hope you turn your projects into success, however you choose to determine it. I wish you had someone, like minded, to share life with. After fifty seven years, with my husband, I recommend it. Wishing you much happiness. From (Ontario, Canada.
Henry David Thoreau... "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach."
Couple of questions for you: Have u thought about translating your book that you wrote on tiny living into English? Also, when you think of the numbers regarding your hiking videos, think back to when you started the channel. Those numbers probably would have made you happy. And if it was too many dislikes, well F those people. A friend of mine did a tribute video about one of her dogs after it passed and she got dislikes. Keyboard warriors suck. Don’t let them get to you. I, for one, LOvE your channel.
I've just paused this video to say that I really enjoyed your hiking n Norway videos. They reminded me very much of our Scottish Highlands. Also, I'm glad that you've found a way to earn an income so that you can continue to live the life you have envisioned for yourself. Call it being self-employed rather than not a recognised style of employment. ... or as some people would say 'not a proper job'!!
I live in a small trailer court in the mountains and i am actually trying to work less and live more sustainable. I can whatever i can. And also look nice sales for instance i got a bushel of potatoes for $18 and i gave some to family to help them out but have enough to can for the winter. I try to raise my own vegetables but still have to go to local farmers that have pick your own. But I am working on my debt so eventually i can just have to pay for the necessary stuff. I liked this video very much.
I really enjoy all your videos, showing us a different peaceful way of living in nature. I on the other hand enjoyed your Norway hiking videos immensely. Thankyou for sharing your strategies, everyday life with us.😊
Personally, I really enjoyed your travel videos too and they were still very much in line with the main content of your channel i.e. sustainability and alternative living. This one was another great video. Educational and funny too. Keep it up. x
I really enjoy watching your channel. What i liked about the hiking video was that you were showing us what you are able to enjoy in your life because you live in a tiny house and keep your life simple. It was a beautiful video and very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Love your channel and really enjoyed your trip in Norway . Keep being true to what you want to do as well has hitting numbers . As long as you can manage comfortably reassure yourself on the impact you won’t necessarily see and that is how much people are learning from you and how far afield you are inspiring people with simpler less stressful ways of life and being sustainable and good to the planet.
I'm sorry to hear your Norway videos were not successful in terms of viewers, I absolutely loved both videos and will watch again to relax, look at the beautiful scenery and hear the accoustic guitar music. 🎼🎵💚
Your doggo loves you thats all that matter Anders! ♥ Love watching your videos! I think they are really inspiring and eye-opening to many. it's not exactly obvious to many how little people really need to be happy/content with life. The fact that you are not required to sacrifice your whole adult life to capitalism/consumerism and that there are alternatives ways of living.
I also really loved the Norway Videos! Great shots of a great guy in a great landscape🏞️ Peaceful beauty and nearly to touch nature just by watching✨ All the pure life. Just keep on doing what feels right for you, Anders! You have a good feeling and strategy and you are doing it with good intentions. Nothing to doubt about 😊 Your honest resume on the last years living your dream is really inspiring!! You are not only part but a motor of a big movement and it will work out in a really good way! Greetings from Germany🙋♀️
Your videos are so peaceful and calming . Love your channel! There’s something about being outside alone with nature that changes everything. I have a tiny house too , the best decision I ever made . Love the peaceful country life .
It's a great life, it's a great self-sufficiency, no matter how bad the economy is, it can't affect you at all, plus you're in great health because you don't have to eat unsafe plants. Your house is really beautiful with self-sufficiency.
I'm watching from Philippines, i love everything you did i was inspired, i want it because it's in the province, very simply a place to live but without stress
I'm sorry to hear that the Norway hiking videos didn't get as many views as you would have liked...maybe you could consolidate the 2 videos into 1 short asmr video that just focuses on the beauty of Norway? maybe you can add title & captions for that video too that is targeted more towards people who are interested in learning about Norway...i really like how relaxed and transparent your channel is and i agree with your ideals. ❤ from Philippines
You are doing so well in all aspects of your thoughtful living. Well done! I live tiny and off grid too. I’m in my 70th year and have a small pension so I’m wealthy too. Diversifying your income is very wise.
Perhaps this is more easy for me to understand as I have worked in a sweat shop sewing clothing. I have an electric supply and use bottles has with my own well and septic tank. The maintenance is difficult but not impossible as I am retired, it is not possible to live off grid yet but I hope that the future technologies will make it possible. Birdy
I just came across your channel today and I’m so glad I did. I find your simple way of living very fascinating . Looking forward to more amazing videos .
I appreciate your humility and transparency about your tiny home living lifestyle. I admire the tiny home living community. We have forgotten what it's like to live with just the basic necessities of life. We were always meant to be self sufficient and self-sustaining human beings. Modern conveniences and excess has made us more stressed, sick, and slaves. Wish you much success! Watching you all the way from Tulare, California!
Anders, I am so sorry that the hiking videos didn’t do well. I’m so surprised because I LOvED them. Your drone footage was awesome. And the stupid algorithm makes no sense sometimes (other than the time it suggested your channel to me.). Btw when you said your costs per month at your house is 750, my jaw dropped. I wanna be strange or weird like you.
@@chasingsimpledreams i absolutely loved the videos from the Norway hiking trails .. amazing footage of nature. That takes so much planning, And Thought as to what do people want to see and experience? I love love love your videos snd way of life.. wish I was younger to share.. You share all I ever wanted when I was young .,,, I just want you to be happy and self sufficient,💕💕💕
@heliaandrade146 that’s what I want for him as well. The nature where he lives and went on vacation is just amazing. It’s my dream to have a place like Anders has, even knowing it’s difficult at times. I’m glad he has found ways to support himself
I could live like that and easily make enough from my spoons. I mean, I make a living from them now, but I'd be living like a king with loads of free time if I moved off the grid. But my wife wouldn't do it, and I'm kind of fond of her.
the greatest value you have is what you bring to the world, living simply and sustainably, and showing people it can be done! keep at it and thank you! very inspiring
New subscriber here & I finally found someone that is truly worth watching. Such a genuine person. God blessed you & I hope you see that. You will go far. So cute & easy on the eyes, love your accent🤗.
Your dog was watching you cut up the sausage hoping some to go his way. I am considering this lifestyle here in Australia also. My concern is what do you feed your dog for meals when living out in the bush as I have 2 small dogs and would like advice on this please.
Having the approach to debt as making banks richer is wise to learn at this stage of your life. You're in your 20s right? Good on ya for learning this now and starting a life where you prioritize what's valuable and important to you! I would have enjoyed watching you hike to other cabins but I recognize it a wise business decision understanding what will help you financially as well.
Few Other ideas: Patreon with more detailed description and video on specific subjects (house, garden, solar,..). Physical tutorials around Denmark on building things. There are plenty of "tiny living" building videos but they always show building process in hyper speed. Go teach the skills.
This amazing lifestyle, to live simply, yet remain connected to the world, only became possible over the past few years. Lithium batteries, smartphones, camera technologies, Starlink, better solar panels, etc, are all fairly recent. We're now able to live Henry David Thoreau's dream of being connected to nature and our Creator and yet still be connected enough to each other and cover our basic needs. It's quite remarkable actually. We're very fortunate in many ways if we seize this opportunity. Greetings from Virginia. Just found your channel and subscibed. Thank you friend!
I enjoy your channel. I am excited about the building. I also enjoyed the trip to Norway. It was nice to see that you can get away and enjoy yourself in such beautiful surroundings.
I think it is always hard for anyone to start something like this here on UA-cam, especially tiny house living, although I have always loved watching young people like you get on this way , and for some one like me who lives in a bungalow here in England, the differences between you in your country and me here in mine , so I hope I will watch more of you In your life thank you for your time and quite a good presentation 👍
We are a family of 5 on a 38 ft classic sailboat of which actual living space is probably closer to 28 ft. Three years later and we are still onboard traveling the world together. People think we are crazy for selling our home to live on a tiny boat. We don't have any debt, we don't have a lot of extra junk, heck we don't even have a TV. We now have the time to home school our boys and travel. Together we experience the challenges and highs of this amazing lifestyle.
I love watching your videos. I am curious about how to do wash and dry your clothes and linen, particularly in the winter. Would you be able to show us that in a video please?
Adoro o jeito como vc mostra tudo por aí e como vc se comunica e conta tudo com franqueza. Estou ansiosa p início da nova casa. Tbm irei contruir uma pequena casa d madeira, inicialmente sem energia elétrica, com coleta d água d chuva, seguindo os princípios da Permacultura. Boa sorte p nós dois😊 Abraço do Brasil🌱
I was surprised at your cost of living. It seems high to me but I imagine you’re probably talking about more than the basics. I live in the Philippines with a $250 monthly cost of living. I live in a city south of Manila. As seen on my channel, I live a really nice comfy life here. I’ve always been frugal and really good at designing very spacious feeling and affordable tiny houses, so I’ve always dreamed of building at least one of my designs someday somewhere. But I definitely want it to sustain a very low cost of living wherever and whenever I build it. My current apartment is a bit of a tiny home.
@@elliebella2710 You see the error you are making here is comparing cost of living in Europe vs in Africa- or other regions different from where he is. 750 per month in denmark is little. the 100 you can survive with in Ghana is relative there, makes sense there, but won't buy you anything in other regions of the world
@@njabsmangena I think it would have helped if he had provided a breakdown of his costs so that we could make more sense of that figure. There may be additional non-house related costs he's factored in such as his car and insurance. I hope he does more on this topic as it's quite central to making simple living work.
In Africa, many people here live a simple village life for much less. Even in the city with lots of conveniences I live with about less than half of that money
@@njabsmangena I understand how it works... but international prices can sometimes be comparable. Food prices in certain parts of Africa can be very similar to Europe. Many products are imported.
Wood only smokes if it's not totally dry. Pick your firestick wood from high places, not off the ground to avoid moisture and lots of smoke. Also, the smoke only blows one way, so if it's blowing in your face, move your chair over- out of it's wind-blown path!
Thanks for the cooking and economics show! Really inspiring that you spend 750 USD when the average Dane spends around 2800 USD (numbers from 2018). We spend 1150 USD per person in our family and I thought we were pretty frugal. We have some debt (for purchasing a house in 2021) but far from as much as the average dane.
Without your dog I feel that you would be lonely. Living in the woods can be peaceful but also lonely without another living creature to share life with and to talk to. I'm glad that you have 3 sources of income and that UA-cam is working for you. I always like and subscribe so UA-cam will pay you. Your food looks good and it's nice to know that your garden is producing. You also need to save for retirement so you need jobs that produce money to invest.
Thanks for the being considerate☺️It is indeed a great joy to have him with me on the journey! But also: I do have friends and family that I see very often, so I’m not as alone as it may seem in the videos😊
I love this kind of lifestyle and still trying to save some money to quit a full-time job to do something else or only part-time job in the future. The lifestyle that you are living in is very common practices in my country. People do farming, fishing and sell vegetables that they grow for a living. I like to watch your content, because it reminds me that we do not need much in life to live happily. I really dream of living in Tiny house and have a small garden.
I just moved off grid… my one biggest expense is cell phone… but when the truck breaks down … just having a vehicle is really the biggest overall expense.
Maybe you could consider a second channel for your hikes and include visiting tiny spaces...it will attract a whole new audience you could then be double dipping on youtube.
Can you share a little bit about how to find land for your tiny house? How much did it cost? And just in general what to think about when looking for a piece of land for the tiny house? :)
So interesting. As someone that has lived off grid for forty years, it's great to get a fresh perspective. Are you living in a community of like minded neighbors?
My soul and body yearn for this life, and I have ever since I was a small child. But I am stuck in a modern living loop with a family to support. I don’t know if I will ever make it to this dream, in this life, and that makes me sad.
I loved the Norway videos!! 😢 I hope you will find the balance to do both what earns you money here on YT but also what brings you creative joy even if it might not be financially the best, otherwise you’re back in the rat race mentality of city life. I appreciate the honesty you share with us.
@@andersboisentinyhouseactually I had the idea when hearing you say that the Norway videos didn’t do so well, maybe that would be good “extra” content only for your closest subscribers, like on a patreon or subscriber community like some UA-camrs do. Just a thought! I really liked how you described the assets you are building for yourself, in the form of non-material things. Most people talk about houses or cars as valuable assets, but you truly have really valuable assets! Good job ❤
I'm surprised how balanced and simple you are! You don't boast, you don't praise your lifestyle as a paradise and an example to follow, but you are reserved and talk about your little joys in life. It sounds very sincere
Thanks😊Sounds like I’m just being typical Danish😄🇩🇰
And humble, too. 😊
@@andersboisentinyhouse yes, very typical Dane!

For me, you have a wholesome, down to earth, pioneering spirit. As long as you maintain simplicity and creativity, you will do really well. You are not caught up in the trappings of must haves. You take time and give a lot of thought to how best this lifestyle, you have opted for, will serve you. I hope you turn your projects into success, however you choose to determine it.
I wish you had someone, like minded, to share life with.
After fifty seven years, with my husband, I recommend it.
Wishing you much happiness.
From (Ontario, Canada.
Henry David Thoreau...
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach."
Couple of questions for you: Have u thought about translating your book that you wrote on tiny living into English?
Also, when you think of the numbers regarding your hiking videos, think back to when you started the channel. Those numbers probably would have made you happy. And if it was too many dislikes, well F those people. A friend of mine did a tribute video about one of her dogs after it passed and she got dislikes. Keyboard warriors suck. Don’t let them get to you. I, for one, LOvE your channel.
I've just paused this video to say that I really enjoyed your hiking n Norway videos. They reminded me very much of our Scottish Highlands. Also, I'm glad that you've found a way to earn an income so that you can continue to live the life you have envisioned for yourself. Call it being self-employed rather than not a recognised style of employment. ... or as some people would say 'not a proper job'!!
I live in a small trailer court in the mountains and i am actually trying to work less and live more sustainable. I can whatever i can. And also look nice sales for instance i got a bushel of potatoes for $18 and i gave some to family to help them out but have enough to can for the winter. I try to raise my own vegetables but still have to go to local farmers that have pick your own. But I am working on my debt so eventually i can just have to pay for the necessary stuff. I liked this video very much.
I really enjoy all your videos, showing us a different peaceful way of living in nature.
I on the other hand enjoyed your Norway hiking videos immensely.
Thankyou for sharing your strategies, everyday life with us.😊
Thank you so much for letting me know! I really happy to hear that - it’s a great comfort☺️
Congratulations on your success. Your tiny home and alternative way to live in harmony with the earth is wonderful.
Thanks😊
Personally, I really enjoyed your travel videos too and they were still very much in line with the main content of your channel i.e. sustainability and alternative living. This one was another great video. Educational and funny too. Keep it up. x
Thank you so much!! Very happy to hear that☺️
Love your life style n your home . Glad u r doing presentation
😊
You are so 🦉 wise and your tiny home is amazing🍂🍁🌻🌾
I really enjoy watching your channel. What i liked about the hiking video was that you were showing us what you are able to enjoy in your life because you live in a tiny house and keep your life simple. It was a beautiful video and very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for letting my know☺️Really glad you liked it!!
Love your channel and really enjoyed your trip in Norway . Keep being true to what you want to do as well has hitting numbers . As long as you can manage comfortably reassure yourself on the impact you won’t necessarily see and that is how much people are learning from you and how far afield you are inspiring people with simpler less stressful ways of life and being sustainable and good to the planet.
I'm sorry to hear your Norway videos were not successful in terms of viewers, I absolutely loved both videos and will watch again to relax, look at the beautiful scenery and hear the accoustic guitar music. 🎼🎵💚
Your doggo loves you thats all that matter Anders! ♥ Love watching your videos! I think they are really inspiring and eye-opening to many. it's not exactly obvious to many how little people really need to be happy/content with life. The fact that you are not required to sacrifice your whole adult life to capitalism/consumerism and that there are alternatives ways of living.
I totally agree ❤
I also really loved the Norway Videos! Great shots of a great guy in a great landscape🏞️ Peaceful beauty and nearly to touch nature just by watching✨ All the pure life. Just keep on doing what feels right for you, Anders! You have a good feeling and strategy and you are doing it with good intentions. Nothing to doubt about 😊 Your honest resume on the last years living your dream is really inspiring!! You are not only part but a motor of a big movement and it will work out in a really good way! Greetings from Germany🙋♀️
Thank you so much! And also for the advice - really appreciate it☺️Very kind of you to let me know!😊
Your videos are so peaceful and calming . Love your channel! There’s something about being outside alone with nature that changes everything. I have a tiny house too , the best decision I ever made . Love the peaceful country life .
Thank you for sharing a different way of life. 🌿
You’re welcome!😊
It's a great life, it's a great self-sufficiency, no matter how bad the economy is, it can't affect you at all, plus you're in great health because you don't have to eat unsafe plants. Your house is really beautiful with self-sufficiency.
I'm watching from Philippines, i love everything you did i was inspired, i want it because it's in the province, very simply a place to live but without stress
Thanks! I cross my fingers for you then😊🤞
I'm sorry to hear that the Norway hiking videos didn't get as many views as you would have liked...maybe you could consolidate the 2 videos into 1 short asmr video that just focuses on the beauty of Norway? maybe you can add title & captions for that video too that is targeted more towards people who are interested in learning about Norway...i really like how relaxed and transparent your channel is and i agree with your ideals. ❤ from Philippines
You are doing so well in all aspects of your thoughtful living. Well done!
I live tiny and off grid too. I’m in my 70th year and have a small pension so I’m wealthy too.
Diversifying your income is very wise.
Perhaps this is more easy for me to understand as I have worked in a sweat shop sewing clothing. I have an electric supply and use bottles has with my own well and septic tank. The maintenance is difficult but not impossible as I am retired, it is not possible to live off grid yet but I hope that the future technologies will make it possible.

I just came across your channel today and I’m so glad I did. I find your simple way of living very fascinating . Looking forward to more amazing videos .
Thank you so much! And welcome to the channel!😊
Only have one life and wonderful how you found a life you are content in. The pup so cute.
I appreciate your humility and transparency about your tiny home living lifestyle. I admire the tiny home living community. We have forgotten what it's like to live with just the basic necessities of life. We were always meant to be self sufficient and self-sustaining human beings. Modern conveniences and excess has made us more stressed, sick, and slaves. Wish you much success! Watching you all the way from Tulare, California!
Thanks😊And I so agree!!
Love your Content. Hope the spirale will go up again soon. Great Video!
Anders, I am so sorry that the hiking videos didn’t do well. I’m so surprised because I LOvED them. Your drone footage was awesome. And the stupid algorithm makes no sense sometimes (other than the time it suggested your channel to me.).
Btw when you said your costs per month at your house is 750, my jaw dropped. I wanna be strange or weird like you.
@@chasingsimpledreams me too , I loved them so much.❤️
@@chasingsimpledreams i absolutely loved the videos from the Norway hiking trails .. amazing footage of nature.
That takes so much planning,
And
Thought as to what do people want to see and experience?
I love love love your videos snd way of life..
wish I was younger to share..
You share all I ever wanted when I was young .,,,
I just want you to be happy and self sufficient,💕💕💕
@heliaandrade146 that’s what I want for him as well. The nature where he lives and went on vacation is just amazing. It’s my dream to have a place like Anders has, even knowing it’s difficult at times. I’m glad he has found ways to support himself
What hiking video.?
@ look for his video on solo hiking in Norway, and also another video he did on his vacation in Norway. Just a few weeks ago.
I could live like that and easily make enough from my spoons. I mean, I make a living from them now, but I'd be living like a king with loads of free time if I moved off the grid. But my wife wouldn't do it, and I'm kind of fond of her.
I loved that trip to Norway!
Thanks!!😊
the greatest value you have is what you bring to the world, living simply and sustainably, and showing people it can be done! keep at it and thank you! very inspiring
Thanks!!😊❤️
New subscriber here & I finally found someone that is truly worth watching. Such a genuine person. God blessed you & I hope you see that. You will go far. So cute & easy on the eyes, love your accent🤗.
Your dog was watching you cut up the sausage hoping some to go his way.
I am considering this lifestyle here in Australia also. My concern is what do you feed your dog for meals when living out in the bush as I have 2 small dogs and would like advice on this please.
thank you so much for all the information, great info. grettings from Nebraska USA.
Having the approach to debt as making banks richer is wise to learn at this stage of your life. You're in your 20s right? Good on ya for learning this now and starting a life where you prioritize what's valuable and important to you! I would have enjoyed watching you hike to other cabins but I recognize it a wise business decision understanding what will help you financially as well.
Few Other ideas: Patreon with more detailed description and video on specific subjects (house, garden, solar,..). Physical tutorials around Denmark on building things.
There are plenty of "tiny living" building videos but they always show building process in hyper speed. Go teach the skills.
I hope that you grow. Like the grass in the summer months. Blossom and grow.
This amazing lifestyle, to live simply, yet remain connected to the world, only became possible over the past few years. Lithium batteries, smartphones, camera technologies, Starlink, better solar panels, etc, are all fairly recent. We're now able to live Henry David Thoreau's dream of being connected to nature and our Creator and yet still be connected enough to each other and cover our basic needs. It's quite remarkable actually. We're very fortunate in many ways if we seize this opportunity. Greetings from Virginia. Just found your channel and subscibed. Thank you friend!
Thanks!! And so true! I actually quote Thoreau in the beginning of each chapter in my book😊
Simplicity and low cost life. You’re doing great. New sub.
I enjoy your channel. I am excited about the building. I also enjoyed the trip to Norway. It was nice to see that you can get away and enjoy yourself in such beautiful surroundings.
Another great video. Keep them coming. Hi from the UK.
I'ved Definitely Admired Your Choice Of Living In Your Tiny House At The Forest,And I Dreamed Of Going To Your Awesome Country...
I remember visiting a farm home in Lijre, they said it was one of the first Danish communes. And they had Anders Roland play guitar at a barn dance!
I think it is always hard for anyone to start something like this here on UA-cam, especially tiny house living, although I have always loved watching young people like you get on this way , and for some one like me who lives in a bungalow here in England, the differences between you in your country and me here in mine , so I hope I will watch more of you In your life thank you for your time and quite a good presentation 👍
We are a family of 5 on a 38 ft classic sailboat of which actual living space is probably closer to 28 ft. Three years later and we are still onboard traveling the world together. People think we are crazy for selling our home to live on a tiny boat. We don't have any debt, we don't have a lot of extra junk, heck we don't even have a TV. We now have the time to home school our boys and travel. Together we experience the challenges and highs of this amazing lifestyle.
I love watching your videos. I am curious about how to do wash and dry your clothes and linen, particularly in the winter. Would you be able to show us that in a video please?
We really enjoy your channel and the hiking videos were great. Awesome scenery. Keep it up.
Thank you so much☺️
Adoro o jeito como vc mostra tudo por aí e como vc se comunica e conta tudo com franqueza. Estou ansiosa p início da nova casa. Tbm irei contruir uma pequena casa d madeira, inicialmente sem energia elétrica, com coleta d água d chuva, seguindo os princípios da Permacultura. Boa sorte p nós dois😊 Abraço do Brasil🌱
Thanks!! And good luck with your house🤞😊
I was surprised at your cost of living. It seems high to me but I imagine you’re probably talking about more than the basics. I live in the Philippines with a $250 monthly cost of living. I live in a city south of Manila. As seen on my channel, I live a really nice comfy life here. I’ve always been frugal and really good at designing very spacious feeling and affordable tiny houses, so I’ve always dreamed of building at least one of my designs someday somewhere. But I definitely want it to sustain a very low cost of living wherever and whenever I build it. My current apartment is a bit of a tiny home.
Yes, I also thought that 750 per month was a lot. Here in Ghana we can manage on $100 living like he does.
@@elliebella2710 You see the error you are making here is comparing cost of living in Europe vs in Africa- or other regions different from where he is. 750 per month in denmark is little. the 100 you can survive with in Ghana is relative there, makes sense there, but won't buy you anything in other regions of the world
@@njabsmangena I think it would have helped if he had provided a breakdown of his costs so that we could make more sense of that figure. There may be additional non-house related costs he's factored in such as his car and insurance. I hope he does more on this topic as it's quite central to making simple living work.
In Africa, many people here live a simple village life for much less. Even in the city with lots of conveniences I live with about less than half of that money
@@njabsmangena I understand how it works... but international prices can sometimes be comparable. Food prices in certain parts of Africa can be very similar to Europe. Many products are imported.
Hi, new subscriber here!
Love your tiny house! Beautiful property, we live the same way. 😊
I liked ur garden. It looked healthy & organic.my first viewing & I subscribed. I agree with ur rules of living❤
Wood only smokes if it's not totally dry. Pick your firestick wood from high places, not off the ground to avoid moisture and lots of smoke. Also, the smoke only blows one way, so if it's blowing in your face, move your chair over- out of it's wind-blown path!
Very inspirational! One love ❤️ from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Thanks!!😊
Thoroughly enjoyed your first video. I subscribed so I will enjoy following you. I an in Tn, USA.
Wow no one wanted to watch you hike through Norway?! I’m going to watch them. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the cooking and economics show! Really inspiring that you spend 750 USD when the average Dane spends around 2800 USD (numbers from 2018). We spend 1150 USD per person in our family and I thought we were pretty frugal. We have some debt (for purchasing a house in 2021) but far from as much as the average dane.
Without your dog I feel that you would be lonely. Living in the woods can be peaceful but also lonely without another living creature to share life with and to talk to. I'm glad that you have 3 sources of income and that UA-cam is working for you. I always like and subscribe so UA-cam will pay you. Your food looks good and it's nice to know that your garden is producing. You also need to save for retirement so you need jobs that produce money to invest.
Thanks for the being considerate☺️It is indeed a great joy to have him with me on the journey! But also: I do have friends and family that I see very often, so I’m not as alone as it may seem in the videos😊
@andersboisentinyhouse I'm glad to hear that you have friends. Your dog is a daily source of comfort so I'm glad that you have him.
The appetites of our species exceeds the resources of our planet.
Indeed😒🍃
You are a great human being. Enjoying the freedom. No globalisation. I love to live may life lake you. I hope then you'll be always very fine. 😊
I love how you live close to nature.
Do you have any concerns about the tall trees and your safety and that of your home?
I love your dog, btw
Tbm gostaria d saber sobre as árvores em volta da casa
i will watch your Norwsy hiking video! You gotta do what you love even if it doesnt make money.
I loved your tour to Norway and the beutifull nature up there so hopefully you will take us up there again nekst year
🤞Maybe!! If I dare🤞😅
And thanks, I really appreciate you letting me know☺️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience and your feedback 😊
I love this kind of lifestyle and still trying to save some money to quit a full-time job to do something else or only part-time job in the future. The lifestyle that you are living in is very common practices in my country. People do farming, fishing and sell vegetables that they grow for a living. I like to watch your content, because it reminds me that we do not need much in life to live happily. I really dream of living in Tiny house and have a small garden.
Very inspirational!
Thanks!!😊
I just moved off grid… my one biggest expense is cell phone… but when the truck breaks down … just having a vehicle is really the biggest overall expense.
you nail it all !! I live the same lifestyle a bit north of you in Sweden
Thanks for nice video Anders 🙏
How do you deal with winters?
Is it too challenging?
Your garden is fantastic ..
Thanks!😊
Maybe you could consider a second channel for your hikes and include visiting tiny spaces...it will attract a whole new audience you could then be double dipping on youtube.
Thanks!! Great idea👌
You are 100% on the best path
Can you share a little bit about how to find land for your tiny house? How much did it cost? And just in general what to think about when looking for a piece of land for the tiny house? :)
When I visited denmark I realized that electricity is very expenceiv there. My art studio is a tiny house but I live in a flat
Great video and content! Living tiny is to live big.
Thanks!! Ah yeah, so true😊
Excellent video.
A great video & a wonderful way to live away from the rat race, best wishes from UK, I have subscribed.
So interesting. As someone that has lived off grid for forty years, it's great to get a fresh perspective. Are you living in a community of like minded neighbors?
Great to hear!! I have some neighbours yes, but is not a community as such😊
My soul and body yearn for this life, and I have ever since I was a small child. But I am stuck in a modern living loop with a family to support. I don’t know if I will ever make it to this dream, in this life, and that makes me sad.
I loved the Norway videos!! 😢 I hope you will find the balance to do both what earns you money here on YT but also what brings you creative joy even if it might not be financially the best, otherwise you’re back in the rat race mentality of city life. I appreciate the honesty you share with us.
Thanks so much! I’m pretty sure that I will☺️And great points also👌😊
@@andersboisentinyhouseactually I had the idea when hearing you say that the Norway videos didn’t do so well, maybe that would be good “extra” content only for your closest subscribers, like on a patreon or subscriber community like some UA-camrs do. Just a thought! I really liked how you described the assets you are building for yourself, in the form of non-material things. Most people talk about houses or cars as valuable assets, but you truly have really valuable assets! Good job ❤
Great way of living! ❤
I respect what you do
Great dog you've got there. ❤
Indeed!
