Pro-snowboarder, mike basich, gives a tiny house tour of his self-built 225 square foot labor of love in the middle of his 40 acre snow covered property near Truckee, CA – and tells us how being closer to nature gives him his most creative decisions.
In this episode of Going Off Grid, Laura Ling investigates how over 180,000 Americans each year are deciding to live completely disconnected from the modern world in pursuit of a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle.
Thank you +thanh nga le +Paul Berry
Genial
+TheAdultChild101 Dont cry.. you can do the same with only a little ammount
of money.. or work hard!:D
+hungaryargo I just think it’s a little dis-ingenious for a millionaire to
be portrayed as ‘living off the grid’ when he has a shit-load of toys lying
around already. I was homeless for three years, I know what ‘off the grid’
truly means.
And how can a person own the Earth?
So cool….
I always wanted to do that since I was a kid. Build a tiny house on the
mountain.
Supreme..
Nice Dream Beautiful Cabin.
this was boring
+Clarissa Ruiz
so why did you look ??
+Clarissa Ruiz like your life?
Bliss…
Any guy who lives his life obsessed by what women think of his
hobbies/lifestyle is a pathetic fucking beta loser. Live life by your own
terms. The house is awesome, and he made it. Why should he give a fuck
about what women think of it? Are we their puppets or something?
The ignorance in this one is comical. Thanks for the entertainment.
+ThatGuyBradley haha what a sophisticated answer form you!:) keep talking
like this and the women will follow ahahah
+1969ChargerRTSE I agree with the original post. I’ll add that we are
seeing the finished sausage, not the making of the sausage. Having an
engineering background, I’d prefer to see a story about the sausage making.
But that story would appeal to about 1% of the population, definitely not
to most of the viewers.
+1969ChargerRTSE negative nancy over here has got some sand in her vagina.
It looks as if he has some solar panels.
+iinRez U might be right-I think it’s a cool little getaway. I just find
the video a little irritating by how misleading they are in wanting you to
think he gave up a conventional lifestyle & material items to live in his
tiny house full time. Like he’s some wisdom filled guru who lives on a
mountain top.(not saying he’s a jerk or anything) If u think this house is
cool, which it is, check out earth ship homes in Taos NM and architect mike
reynolds.
Tropical?
Jest how tropycahl Mon?
+Ynot Eroifid Not sure yet.. maybe Hawaii. Fiji, Thailand, the south,
tropical.. got any suggestions? (there was a ‘translation’ option on your
post. G must not speak Cajun..lol)
+Dawn I Its Jamaican! Lol!
Wood for the hot tub.
okay, that explains the hot tub, what about the lift? Even a tiny lift
would have to be at least 5 hp. you need an acre size solar panel for that.
+Blaze Paroni probably got a diesel engine to power the lift?
WOW WOW WOW Very cool place, great great away but, too lonely for me!
+Jeff Venom that’s just his get away vacation cabin this video is very
misleading. he doesn’t live there full time.
+Mike Brink – Oh, that’s not as cool then lol. Thanks for the info.
+Jeff Venom Yeah, there is no way he can live there full time after being
accustomed to things. He must own 100 different snowboards, dirt bikes,
snowmobiles, trucks, etc. He must own a huge garage where he services all
that stuff. That stuff requires all different types of gear and clothing.
He must have a regular house somewhere with a big tool shed, garage, big
closets, etc. Regular homes nearby are less expensive than this home. I
know that area. Otherwise, he would need 20 storage units, which would be
extra lame.
+Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this The video is misleading and
I no longer think what this guy is doing is cool. But what I thought was
going on, living off the grid, still appeals to me.
starting at 1:49
+NothingmorethanNath I’m here for the same reason! I want to know the name
and the artist of that laid back, smooth jazzy sounding song!
no luck yet though!
I think there is an outhouse . . . there was an outhouse-looking door on
the bottom level.
+Tricia Cate
I saw the door with the crescent moon and there was some kind of toilet set
somewhere else. If they mentioned either, I missed it. Love the small
house though.
Can’t help admire people who can live on less!
I’d imagine that guy is pretty far down the list for a google fiber rollout
Wow – at lot of effort and thought went into this place. Lovely little
share.
for some people…
+Ann Le {Anneorshine} Seriously!
+Seeker Stories Hey Seeker! Who’s the maker and what is the name of that
laid back song starting at 1:48?
You have somehow summed up everything I hate in the world through one
ignorant “youtube” comment.
+Alethea Totty gr8 b8 m8, i r8 8/8
Look at your face.
+Alethea Totty Troll onward.
+Alethea Totty lmao troll
Sweet place!

+Ben Watts Anywhere he wants, not like he’s gonna offend anybody.
This guy's house is both amazing and beautiful!
That’s cool, but the loneliness would kill me!
Yeah +Jonny Boehlke, same here! I would want at least one roommate …
besides the dog … meaning the house would be a bit larger. ;P
Haha, yeah!
Wow! I don’t think I would want a house that small! Too claustrophobic!!!
And the shower no thanks! 🙂
Wow, I think I would like a slightly larger version of that house 🙂 I like
the window and all the stone work. It’s very cozy. 🙂
Great story! You told it very well.
i’m about to be evicted from my home with no car or job this gives me some
hope of survival
thankyou
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great home……. so inspiring! +Seeker Daily Unfortunately you
ended up ‘double posting’ the video……. 🙁
SWEEEEET!
Very nice house .
That’s living the dream !
+john dach j
It’s part of the adventure.
Life can be about convenience but only because we’re raised that way.
Toilets (and showers, note his no-waste shower) are a huge waste of
resources and, although most wouldn’t want to go without because of their
habits, there are alternatives like composing and incinerating toilets that
do better for the world and function similarly. This guy obviously puts
self-sufficiency and respect for the world above convenience.
We would too 🙂
We are so jealous of his amazing tiny home!
+Seeker Stories I believe envious is the word you are looking for. Jealous
wouldnt make much sense at all used this way. Btw it would have been cool
to get a rough estimate of the total cost of the project as well. I lve
near Truckee, CA, and while it sits on 40 acres, im wondering the house,
property, chairlift, and any other bills Mike has. Other than my nitpicking
awesome video. Mr. Basich was raised well by his parents. He is very wise
beyond his years and an inspiration for a young guy like myself. Thanks to
mike and your crew for sharing. Ill see to it that this video goes viral
within the next 48 hours. 🙂 -T
+Travis Thoeni Dude I live near Truckee as well, we should see if he is on
air bnb. This dude is on the right path. As your question about costs it
sounds like he has taken a smart route with his earnings from snow boarding
and probably has solid connections in the snow world. His photo skills are
on point also, so I would bet he makes good money with that. Living a good
exhistance.
Many more to come! Thanks for watching
+Seeker Stories Can you show us the song list? please
+Seeker Stories what is the song name used at 1:49?
they are part of the discovery network
