Off Grid CABIN VS. Tiny CONDO - REAL TALK!

- Cabin VS CONDO! Which is simpler? For those in search of a simpler life, the answer may surprise you. Let me know below! I've spent years building then living in my own off grid cabin, doing van life, and now my current spot is a 300 square foot tiny condo in Old Quebec City. I lay it all out in this video to help you if you're wondering about simplifying your life. Good luck!

You've landed in a beautiful place. Living the dream Adam, very happy for you. Looking forward to more music. Cheers!
Ya thanks, I really like it here! A simple existence in a pretty place, works for me :)
Adam, Happy Housewarming!!! Love your place! I’m very happy and excited for you! New beginning!
Thank you :) I’m embarrassed to say I’m getting good at “new beginnings” 🤣
I love your little cabin condo 🥰 and catching a glimpse of the cabin painting made me soooo happy!! ❤️
See I told ya!! And yes aspiring to be as cool as the bubbles shed
@@adamruzzo❤️
Well done Adam! Come for a visit before you go!
Hey Jenn!! Thanks, trying to plan a get away I’ll let ya know if I’m in the hood
Love all that informations Adam, i’ve been doing Van life for six years. The only thing I really miss is to be able to go take a shower and not have to drive to get to it. You know I live in Huntington Beach California so the weather is really nice pretty much year around but if I could find a 300 square-foot cheap, I would take it and if it’s in a good neighborhood I don’t need a lot of space. I’m pretty much a minimalist in a couple of weeks I’m moving into my new van. I’m excited about it. This one’s going to be different in a good way. Take care. 💕
Cool :) new van!! Yes when living is not a chore, living is a bit better! I have to get down to California
Nice! Ya, I keep dreaming of cabin life one day. Stuck in the system at the moment but like you say, the Nice amenities of turning on the tap for water and hot showers is a bonus and being 5 minutes from work and 3-5 minutes from any store I need for groceries and supplies is nice. BUT, it does come with all the expenses of living that lifestyle. I'm hoping for a retirement one day of much more simpler off grid style living in a much smaller place or even combine it with a bit of overlanding lifestyle with a tiny camper or just an overlanding style vehicle. But for now it's all just a dream as I seem to just be working to live lately. 🤷♂️
Sounds like a good plan :) some people don’t mind doing lots of chores/tasking as part of the lifestyle either… it just started taking away from my energy and time for more important stuff.
A great perspective on both sides! I haven’t lived in a van or cabin, but had a wee taste of it momentarily with wild camping, sleeping in my car and fishing hut. It’s sure nice to open tap water and not chop wood all day when I get back, even if it’s just been days. 😅
Its good to swap what satisfaction you had at the cabin with things to do and projects you actually love (I mean chopping wood Is great, but they is so much more to do!). You’ll have definitely more time for that! 😊 Getting out of your comfort zone on a regular basis is a must too. Can’t let that comfort and easiness (is that even a word) take control. The machine doesn’t have to be an enemy, it has its sweet sides too. Doing something you love to pay bills definitely helps too.
I’ll be heading up to revisit Vieux Quebec in a few weeks. I’ll be living the Sleeping in my car life for a few days. I do enjoy that a lot, probably because it’s momentarily.😂
Are you there for La Saint-Jean-Baptiste ? The energy is amazing!…Hope you like crowds 😂 I’ll be skipping that weekend, I don’t like crowds enough. 😅
I’m currently working on a cruise ship! I am missing all the fun :( haha
@@adamruzzo Haha! I’m sure you’re having a lot of fun working on the cruise ship :)
Oh nice !!! Hope you enjoy your stay ! Are you planning doing gigs ?
Yes :) but I will be leaving soon to play guitar on some cruise ships. This is my last week actually. But I’ll be back. If you are here let me know!
Great video! My wife and I are living "the Dream" doing the vanl life (right?) We're going on 2 years soon and the natural progression was to find land and build just like you did. But I dont see much difference with cabin vs van life as both are small both are difficult and not very different other than a land locked roof over your head. So my mind wanders daily to moving back to Toronto and getting a small condo with a shower, toilet and a decent sized fridge. Thanks for doing this video because I can just skip the small cabin "dream" and live simply in a small condo in a city where you don't need a vehicle that rats can squat with you rent free.
Wow!! Yes I know the dilemma… oh my do I ever know this dilemma. Van life is harder than cabin life imo… but trust me , if you want true minimalism, a simple condo is the way. One welllll within the budget. But, you will feel the lack of adventure and fulfilment that the off grid journey brings.
For me I just wanted MY TIME BACK. Like, I have stuff to do other than screw pieces of wood together and fix plumbing a stuff.
I still dream of land, and may get some. But also learning more than ever that contentment is an INSIDE job! Anyways, my take.
@@adamruzzo My TIME BACK resonates...although I have nothing BUT time out here in the woods I find myself fixing, repairing, looking for camp spots, chopping wood, organizing, cleaning,...no time or space for me to get back to my favorite thing to do ...paint
@@CHICOandtheVAN yep… I don’t miss any of that nonsense. I feel you. Picasso or van gogh didn’t have time for any of that stuff either I bet!! ;) first world living is really a requirement for progressing in our craft I learned (the hard way!)
I hear ya!! Long story but I have a very sm home on a plot of land...am debt free and had my mind on this cabin that recently went up for sale. Well prior to it going on the market... My old back injury flared up big time!! I mean Big Time pain!! Yeah I got my chainsaw and all that, but reality is nobody is getting younger... staying right here...for now🤔 still dreaming 😊 so glad to hear from you!! Hey once you get some land ideas maybe time for a live episode where everyone gives their 2 cents and shares there stories just like you did here.🏞️
@@christiehuffman3823 good idea :) hope your back gets better!!!
I agree with the differences between off grid vs condo but I would never buy anywhere where there are associations to deal with of any kind. It is a nightmare. Right now, I know of someone who just got a $17,000 bill from an assessment and many other similar stories like this one. Nope thanks.
