Fred, his wife and their young daughter live in Australia in what is often called a “tiny house,” and he is this week’s guest on Off The Grid Radio.
The tiny house movement, we learn, has benefits for all homesteaders and survivalists, even if a particular family doesn’t want to make it their primary residence. There are, after all, benefits of being portable.
Fred also tells us:
- How he designed and built his house for merely $31,000.
- Why he believes life in a small house is far less stressful than life in a big house.
- How he gets power and water off-grid, miles and miles from the city.
- Why he uses an alcohol-powered stove for cooking.
- What his plans are if his family continues expanding.
- How he built a tiny wood-burning stove that also heats his water.
Fred also shares with us the biggest mistakes he made when building his tiny house. If you’re an off-gridder looking to be more portable or wanting to downsize — or you simply enjoy amazing, unique stories – then this is one show you will want to hear!
