So inspired by you both and in love with the music of Luke Wallace

This is a great story. Lest anyone think this is a "young adult only" alternative, let me say my husband is 75yrs old, my mother is 83 yrs old, and l am 65yrs old. We bought 6acs in the Ozarks and are completely off gird. No running water, we use rain catchment, composting toilet, putting in solar, and use wood heat. It is a WONDERFUL way to live.

🤩😘😘 i feel your thoughts, I totally agree with you..

If youtube had been around when I was their age, I would have been drawn to their lifestyle. Not necessarily what they do to make a living, but living free of mortgages and high rents. I think slowly but surely a movement is growing among young people to do just that as they see the ever escalating prices of either buying or renting leaving them with very little disposable income to enjoy the things in life which make life worth living. My generation grew up wanting every convenience that came down the pike and striving to getting bigger and better and that was a never ending pursuit and life was passing us by. Everyone needs a place to call home and that shouldn't cost an arm or a leg during the best part of their lives and looking to retirement so they can finally enjoy life. I encourage young people to shun the rat race and make life worth living while you are living. Go get em.

The house is absolutely charming, and I think it's the rawness of the build that is part of its charm. It doesn't have a finished look but it's clean and I can see the care put into it. I love that phrase "living lightly" and I admire people who have the courage and conviction to do it.

Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful. This is how we feel watching your wonderful video....thanks for sharing dear!!!

This is not living in a tiny cabin, it’s actually living in a tiny cabin, a separate tiny outhouse, and a tiny studio. This couple seems very nice/sweet, charming and down-to-earth.

nice to see she seems so excited like a little girl playing dollhouse.. cute. happy for her.

What a sweet & down to earth couple. It's not what's in the home or how it's built it's the love & gratefulness that's inside of it that makes it a real home. I think it's very cozy & natural. Love seeing these stories!!

The Japanese method of charring the wood would be great too, if this is possible with plywood. No chemicals needed.

Nice! We need more of this honesty and simplicity!

I love watching these. We live off grid on Cape Breton Island. Built ourselves. It's amazing to have a much deeper feeling with your land.

What a beautiful couple.Me and my husband have lived this way for the past six years but now we have another cottage on the grid down in the meadow that I live in and he still lives in the cabin up the hill in the woods off the grid.We have 11 acres and are in our fifties and sixties. Our places are each 12 x 16 with a loft (his has two) .It is a great way to live and we are so close to nature. We built our places ourselves too.

Lovely couple. Cute house. I am just concerned about all the unpainted wood on the exterior, as plywood disintegrates fast when exposed to moisture. It might have a coat of polyurethane i can't see, but that needs to be reapplied every other year. Painting the wood lasts much, much longer. There's environmentally safer paint with low or no VOCs. Go with a brown color if you want the feel/look of natural wood. And lastly, Satin or Semigloss sheen on wood lasts FAR longer and repels water much better than Flat sheen, which is typical on houses. Good luck!

I was noticing that. I think that, being people with a good sense of aesthetics and love of natural materials, it will not be long before they find or make some natural old-style long shingles and cover all the plywood with them.

These videos are great. They show another side of people who want to lessen their footprint on the planet, but maybe don't have the resources / desire / knowledge... to live completely off grid. Kudos to anyone who has a vision and sees it through to fruition!

You will inspire a lot of people with what you are doing. And what you are doing is wonderful. Thank you both for sharing. Regards from uptown Canada.

Love this! And beautiful music, Luke! I made myself an outdoor shower and love it. You're making a wonderful lives for yourselves. Just add to the space when baby shows up. This is the best life for raising a child!

My favourite part of the video is the perspective at 0:28 where the stove looks huge but it’s actually tiny…it’s so cute! I love seeing these off the grid videos. One day I hope to have an independent income so I can just go camping forever 🥰

So wholesome and beautiful! The only thing I would change is the bathroom, it sounds awful on winter, but other than that DAMN this is great! I'll love to do it some day!

Think about an air fryer, it is really a convection oven for two. It is the best appliance I hav e ever purchased. Anything you can cook in an oven you can cook in an air fryer, plus more. I have an instant vortex +, no odor, great appliance. Good homestead.

The problem in my country is that it would be illegal to build such a cabin and legally live in it, even if you owned the land. You'd need building permits to do that, and it's not easy to obtain them.

This is wonderful! and, I wish they had shown a little bit more about the construction... the different aspects Incorporated to make it an insulated and healthy space, even it's a simple approach.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Very nice to hear from this couple, and see their home.

Very imaginative and smart persons. Love this way of living without spending too much money . They are almost if not totally self sufficient. Things may changed with a child… Love the little stove and the place is so neat and inviting. Nice music too! Thanks for that nice visit..

Besides the wonderful cabin and the shows purpose to showcase the cabin; this couple’s relationship was a thing of beauty… what a wonderful example of love. Mahalo for the video.

I love Luke and his music. So happy to see him happy.

I loved this so much! Everyone's version of an ideal life/living situation is different and so much of the time people get wrapped up in the popular narrative of wanting 'more' and 'bigger=better' so it's super important to go inward and ask yourself 'What is my ideal living situation?' and work towards that. And they are such a lovely couple! I love that she helps people with anxiety because I do too and that work is so important 💛

It sounds like a very satisfying lifestyle, especially for them to create so much by themselves. Nice story.

The best part of the story is that they really enjoy that i mean they don't playing a role.

Love the personal touches and the ways Meg and Luke have created a beautiful home and gardens ❤

This was very enjoyable to watch. Thank you two for sharing.💞

above it all i like this lovely couple

I enjoyed hearing their story and loved hearing Luke sing. This is a great lifestyle and it is achievable for anyone who is able-bodied. However, if you are physically disabled and you suffer from chronic pain then the most you can hope for is low income housing. Of course you have to be able to keep up with state inspections as well as quarterly pest control and let's not forget the quarterly owners inspections too. At my age (64) I have had enough of this lifestyle for the past 11 years. Now I think I will probably live in my jeep and low income housing can go screw itself. As you age out your body changes and you can only tolerate what you are able to bear. Pain is not easy to tolerate when you get older. Fewer responsibilities are better.

Beautiful... Good for you for living an invented life!

Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it! Started building my own bus
