I just moved to a cottage in the north of Sweden. Life hit me pretty hard. I used to live in Miami being around street violence, guns, death, and I even used to eat $3 a day, 25 cents noodles, expired toast and canned campbell tomato soup. I survived the Boston Marathon Bombing which was a few feet away and I saw all the blood the people screaming and I was alone at 18. I also used to live in a room with no kitchen, trash bag as a window and bugs crawling on me at night. I ended up moving states (from LA to Miami) and ended up working a job where I had to literally hope I don't get shot or robbed while working overnight near one of the most dangerous areas. So I ended up takin boxing to protect myself and learned how to defend against bigger threats. Now I live in a cabin in the north of Sweden where I run an online business, I go down to a lake to breathe and heal my past and I post on KZitem to help others who need it the most 💜

Rosie~ This was one of my favorite videos you have made yet!! Why? Because it is so honest and forthright and so needed! Your thoughts about not moving there to make your neighbors responsible for your choices not to have a vehicle of your own... This shows your genuine desire to attempt to live off-grid.... really off-grid! I'm turning 68 this Saturday and I've lived alone for the past 16+ years since I lost my husband to cancer. I had never lived alone ever before that. I was married at 17 and my husband and I began building our own home immediately after we married. He was in the building trades so he taught me everything about building our home. When we laid the block foundation he handed me a trowel and showed me what to do. Together we built our home one project at a time... adding on to it four times... always doing most of the work ourselves. I moved away from that home 5 years ago into a brand new smaller home just my size, with my two cats and a small yard where I've made flower gardens. This Spring I'm attempting to put in a frog pond by myself (with the help of a 9 yr old neighbor boy who loves frogs). I'm expecting my 16th grandchild in August... so life is full. I tell you some of these details because I, too, have made conscious choices. I love spending time alone. I love all the beauty of God's magnificent creation. I love starting seedlings with my granddaughters and watching them sprout ( the seedlings and the children)! We take walks on a secret lane nearby where God brings out multitudes of meadow deer for me to feed. They come right to me, and almost eat from my hand. There is so much Joy in that moment especially when one of my grandkids is with me! Your videos are so fun to watch. And you inspire us all more than you know.... even across the ocean here in NJ, USA! Thank you for this special video which brought out so much truth... I often say I wish we could go back to a time with no devices! The way things used to be when people actually talked to one another and cared for each other and helped one another.... and lived off the land... and shared what they produced with one another. Some are doing that now. You've made a good choice. I do hope it will include more neighbors being neighborly again. It goes both ways. Keep up the good work! Choosing Joy ~ stephanie 🦌🦌🦌

I knew it would be temporary but I lived in the moment as if it wasn’t . I remember one morning walking to the the end of the container to make coffee and I heard in my awareness, “Now you know how to survive.” Your experience is inspiring and extremely authentic.

Everyone is different and unique and you are living what I would call off the grid and that is absolutely 100% fine with us.

Life experiences and meeting challenges does change us and, hopefully, they make us stronger. I was a 6 year old girl, middle child, growing up in Ohio in the 40s. We originally lived in town, but then rented a house in the country for $25 a month. It had no running water, a wood cook stove, a huge coal burning furnace in the middle of the living room, a crank telephone, and no heat upstairs where I slept. But, looking back on these times, I really had a great childhood and didn't really miss anything. We had a barn to play in with bales of straw that we would climb up and swing down into the piles of loose straw below using a rope attached to a pully. That was the best!! Good luck and enjoy the ride! You are inspiring!

I grew up back in the 50''s like that. We lived different places but we always came back to the little house cause it was home. We had a hand pump off the back porch and I know well how to prime it as it was my job to pump the water. We never worried about pipes freezing. I see you going to the toilet in house shoes and I can remember running to the toilet barefoot in the snow with my long nightgown on. Daddy trapped and hunted our meat and mama canned everything. It was all so different and it did depend always on the weather. I took baths in the round metal tub and we washed our clothes by hand. And thats how it went. We were as clean as anyone and didn't need a TV. Those were the happiest years. Laurie from Idaho

I hear you on the "don't really need a car" thing 100%. I'm the same, and will frequently turn down rides if I think it's a distance that I can walk. But may I point out one thing regarding accepting help from neighbours? When they offer, and you accept, that also means you've opened the door to them asking you for a favour at some point. It could be something as simple as water their plants when they go out of town, or help them out if they get hurt and need fire wood carried inside or something. The'd feel a lot less awkward about asking for help if you already established a relationship where you help each other out. That said, biking seems to work for you, so why not keep doing it.

It is really lovely to hear you speak about your inner journey of moving from London to rural southern Sweden, miles from the grocery store, with an outhouse, etc. It really puts my own life into context. Two years ago I moved to a rural cabin with no running water at all, and an outhouse, no insulation except in the ceiling, but I do have electricity. I have very little land, but enough to have a vegetable garden. I do have a car and drive 45 minutes to get to a grocery store or hardware store or library. And you know what? I love it. I'm in my late 60s and I think I have always wanted to do this. And I think and outhouse is amazing. I love that i'm not wasting lots of potable water to flush away my poop! (I throw on a wee bit of peat moss after each deposit so there is no odor.) I do have very helpful neighbours and were are there for each other. I ask for help when I need it, and I am happy to provide help when they need it. So while no, your neighbours aren't responsible for your choices, there is something really special about being able to help each other. It's not about being totally independent, but sharing what we have with others: interdependence with a sense of self-reliance. You are becoming self-reliant, learning how to figure things out and get them done on your own, and that will stand you in good stead in the future. Enjoy this part of your life. Silence and solitude have rewards that many people today never get to experience. I am inspired by myself to a certain degree while watching and being inspired by you!.

I did live without running water or an inside bathroom when I was a kid growing up, but when you're a kid, and that's all you know, it didn't matter. Now days, I want running water and an inside bathroom. I wouldn't want to shower outside except in the summer months. I would not feel comfortable sleeping out in the guest house away from the main house, just me because of things I've been through. Living out 8 miles from town wouldn't bother me if I had transportation. I would not be able to commute the way you do. It certainly keeps you in shape, heart & mind healthy. I would like to see you get a small truck so you'd have an easier time for getting materials/supplies. It was nice that you shared all your feeling of your life style.

Hi Rosie, this video was so interesting. You gave us some insight into the choices you have made to live such an alternative lifestyle and how well those choices fit your personality. I’ve often wondered how you “endure” many hardships and inconveniences and I now “get it”… still not a lifestyle I could live or to manage but kudos to you and all that you accomplish. It must be so liberating to have stepped out of the craziness of modern life and to have gone back to basics and then look at all you have accomplished ….totally alone! Well done 👌 xxx

Boy, I sure do admire you, Rosie. You have such a good attitude about what you're doing. I learned alot about you in this video and it's why my admiration for you has grown. I think your courage to make your move and in the way you are living is quite admirable. You've already succeeded, you've accomplished so much already. You are to be commended 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉.

This is how my grandmother lived in Ireland in the 60s - the toilet was an earth closet at the end the garden (now something similar as a composting toilet is very fashionable!), drinking water was collected in buckets from a hand-crank pump in the street, you boiled water for a was and it was just a wash no one ever had a bath (outdoor showers were unheard of back then), waste water was collected in basins and thrown over the plants, coal fire heating for warmth (kitchen stove was on all the time), candles or oil lamps for lighting. Not as easy life however, it was what she was used to. I recognise hermit tendencies in myself so how you live doesn’t faze me and, in some ways, seems idyllic to me (took me a long time to realise there is nothing wrong with me - as per what my family kept suggesting! - I am just an introvert who prefers my own company) ☺️ I wondered if you could use a quad bike with a trailer in really bad weather to get into town? I also wonder if you’ll resent your visitors when the visitors cabin is ready to be used

I do admire your thirst for challenges and determination to live a life free of societal pressure. You are a very good narrator and story teller. And living in a high pressure urban environment such as London seems to have driven you to this lifestyle and I can understand directionally the dream you have for this lifestyle. Your physical accomplishments are many. But reliance on an internet world for social interaction, which we all do to an extent, misses out on the human to human interactions which nurture our inner souls. Your lifestyle is fine but you need a vehicle to get out and participate in in-person society to a small degree that enhances your comfort. Too much isolation from human contact can make a person odd in the long run. The best to you...

Rosie! Walking 16 miles in any weather is challenging enough, but this, well this is downright daring. That must have been one hell of a sweet tooth. You need to stock up in advance of winter to assure you needn't be taking such journeys. I don't think I've walked 16 miles cumulatively in the last 23 years. I'm glad I chalked up before this one. I, like yourself, prefer being alone more times than not. I find much peace and wisdom in solitude and quietude. One can learn a lot about themselves in isolation.

I’m glad I checked around to watch some older “episodes.” Although I assumed what your reasons for living hermetically were, this assures me I was right. I share many interests such as DIY, your music preferences, design and preferring wild beauty to city life and all that it implies. I find peace and interest and progress in your lovely presentations. So thank you! I’m a senior woman with a very well-equipped tool box. Best regards.

You don't just build your own home. You are building yourself at the same time. You make choices and decisions with a clear vision. You enjoy it. You are on the right path in life. A toilet without water is the future that awaits. Water is actually too expensive to use for that. There are several different sizes of easy-to-pull carts. As long as it's not uphill.

Growing up,my family went to spend time with my grandfather who lived in th upper peninsula of Michigan where we experienced what you're talking about. A water pump in the kitchen sink, kerosene lamps, outhouse or pot under the bed, and wood stove. They are some of my most treasured memories.

I’m so inspired by you and your lifestyle Rosie. Living simply, although not necessarily easily, feels so much less complicated in my opinion. I’ve sold my home and I’m enjoying the freedom of living in a campervan and it’s wonderful! I hope to find a home similar to yours in the near future but there’s no rush. Also, you make me laugh with your indecisive ramblings about your renovation!😂

I think that I have thought one thing that makes it easier for you is your expertise with graphic design etc (it is AMAZING). Do you think that puts you ahead a bit? You can calculate materials needed, have a computer program to map out your plans etc? I think you mostly succeed because of your desire to go for it AND you DO it!

I always look forward to seeing your videos.I grew up on a farm where we had an outhouse (inAustralia it is also called the thunder box 😂) back in the day. Reminds me of my childhood as a carefree farm kid.I was oblivious to how hard my parents and grandparents worked the land and our house renovation. You truly are inspiring seeing how meticulous and carefully you work on your cottage. Thank you ❤

I love and respect what you are doing. I'm close to 70, and for the last 7 years have been living in a tiny house on wheels (225 square feet) on a hobby farm 35 miles outside Seattle. I have a composting toilet which is very easy to deal with. I live in comfort on a hobby farm. Some people were astounded that I chose to sell my house and have a tiny house built. Thankfully at your young age (and my advancing age) we decided to throw convention out of the way and follow our hearts. YEAH for you and me!!!!

Some would say, it's just a phase in your life. Whether for a while or longer it doesn't matter, just live the moment. City way of living also has plenty of drawbacks. And, you left it for a reason. Probably, unhappy, no triggers, or the emptiness in the clutter. You shouldn't look back, keep forward on your uncertain path.
