Tiny Homes for MGTOW

[SOLI2DEParticipant 745]

Hi guys,

I am really thinking about going this route when it comes to purchasing my first home. Will get my ducks lined up. I really like the size, layout and customizable options, plus they seem really affordable.

I saw one on the road last time I was in Colorado Springs.

No woman could or would put up with this…where would she put all her baskets, pillows and candles?

and there isn’t a separate shoe room, or place for 3 suitcases of fake up, and the 23 bottles of shampoo.

After living in a 4 man tent, and a couple apartments, this looks soooo good right now.

all my possessions fit in 3 tote boxes, 2 gymbags and some bike tools. Whatever fit in my car. I don’t need much more than that.

I like that idea. I’ve love to own a vast spread of land and have that house on wheels w/ a Dodge pickup truck. Then have some kind of plumbing hookups that can be detached. That will be my home base. Then I’ll continue to build wealth from that foundation.

As I get older, I find the simple, quiet life more appealing. I long to escape form this urban noise. I will work toward that goal.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

I’ve seen those tiny houses on HGTV and I say no way. I’m the kind of guy who needs space. I don’t like being cramped and I don’t like banging my head on the ceiling just for standing up.

1. Heavier than an Airstream.
2. More expensive than an Airstream.
3. More maintenance intensive than an Airstream.
4. Lower resale value than an Airstream.
5. Not nearly as cool as an Airstream.
6. Just get a damn Airstream.

The happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life was when I converted my construction van–a 2002 GMC Savana 1500–into a simple camper van so that I could work long periods of time in the field doing wildlife surveys for various government agencies.

Having said that, I’d rather have a small cottage with a shop out back than a tiny house. That’s what I’m working towards.

Weather you want to live in an Airstream, a tiny house or a cottage, the important thing is that you’re not a slave to the psychotic suburban lifestyle.

Like the other guys said, might as well get a camper.

I was into tiny homes… until you pointed me to Airstream. Wow. Happy to have discovered Airstream with your help.

Nothing is cheaper than a cargo container. It even comes with doors! (no windows)
If I had to do it all over again I would choose the modular container home.

My only complaint about Airstream is their toy haulers are a joke. All that room, but a door that’s too narrow to do anything with it. Surely they can figure out a way to open the whole back end like a clamshell or something?

These are awesome too, but aren’t as mobile. Some people use them as kits for instant bunkers. I’d stack a bunch up, throw a steel truss roof on top, and make a giant garage / hanger out of them. Then put an airstream in it.

There is a Wide Path Camper that cost $4K to 8K

Depending if you want a bicycle camper or car camper.

Alternatively you can DIY for $150

It may be a good investment to see if you like this kind of life. No big lost if you don’t like it.

There is no magic in MGTOW, just recognition of the truth and logical decision how to avoid dangers. The red pill is but the truth, it is no magical potion. Do not think in this modern world men have no longer have natural enemies, men are prey to women and government.

Damn you guys beat me to it. A camper would be my suggestion as well. Around here I think hey charge around $1000 a year for your spot electric and water/sewage.

Ya got nowhere to put your S~~~, supplies, tools, toys ETC. !!

The “fantasy” of this Extreme minimalist lifestyle is cool to kick around, but as far as actually LIVING in a TINY HOUSE /RV long term 24/7—forget about it.

Try “renting” a small trailer at a mobile home park for awhile and see if ya can get used to that first before Spending ALL TYPES OF CASH that You won’t get back on something probably even SMALLER.

My friend has one and I’m getting one also, I need the space for dry storage, I want one that has end and side doors for partitioning and easy access.

They would make fantastic buttresses set two high and whatever length you want to carry the vertical and lateral forces of a long span steel truss roof (as long as they’re bolted down to concrete footings) and have a catwalk inside to access the upper tier. “Hanger Royal”

Yea most people think it’s a great idea until they have to spend 24-48 hours inside because of a snow or rainstorm.

You put that on some land. Get a small barn for tools, hobbies and storage and you will be in heaven. If you buy the right land you can expand in phases when you have the money and the knowledge of what your lifestyle is.

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

I figure on a big ‘U’ with 40′ boxes down the sides and 20′ boxes making up the rear, giving me a respectable 640 square feet of interior garage space in addition to the approximately 1350 bonus square feet in the containers themselves for storage, a small machine shop, a bathroom, a small kitchen, what have you. Not huge, a little narrow, but workable, and a 36 foot span is trivial to cross with trusses, especially with an eight foot bearing at both sides. That’s stacked two-high using tall box containers to make room for electrical, HVAC, and plumbing raceways in the floors. It should also give me ample vertical room for a good lift, which is so much more convenient than a pit for working under a car.

And if I ever run out of room, I can always double it by dropping in more boxes at the front or back.

The trick is getting the building permits.

I figure if I ever buy some large bug-out acreage in the middle of Montana or Wyoming, this is what I’ll set up, because in such circumstances, f~~~ building permits. I might even coat it with membrane and bentonite and bury it in drainrock. What they can’t find, doesn’t need a permit.

Shipping Containers are also something I am interested in. Have spoken with 2 companies about this already. Got to love modular design.
