Paul Lives Different
I chose a different way to live.
This channel is about living closer to nature, moving like a human, and building a life that isn’t dependent on modern systems.
You’ll find off-grid living, primal movement, simple food, barefoot training, and real-life systems that bring you back to what matters.
Less modern. More human.

Luck had nothing to do with it. One of the things I can’t stand is when people say how lucky I am to be living this lifestyle.
I worked for where I am. I intentionally designed my life to get to where I am today. No, not everything went according to plan but I figured out how to adjust.
16 years ago I decided to take control of my time and started my own business. I worked 100 hour weeks for many years. I made investments with the money I worked for and learned skills along the way in preparation to one day buy some land and build my off grid dream life.
This lifestyle I live today was planned and intentionally worked for each day for many years. I believe in living a life with intention. To live in action instead of reaction.
Like the saying goes, “luck is nothing more than preparation meets opportunity.” I prepared.

Living life Off Grid… living immersed in nature every day makes me feel more connected to life. So much gets accomplished in a day even though life is at a much slower pace. The days aren’t racing by anymore. They feel long again but also complete.
The nights are simply beautiful. There is real magic in the sky. The Whippoorwill’s are singing their songs again during moonlit nights.

Moved south for the north to send its best down. Matters not here! Though the snow was beautiful it only stuck around for a couple of hours. Plus a sneak peek at the Greenhouse Kitchen build progress coming in next week’s video! Stay warm and safe out there my friends!

Thank you to the 12,000+ who have subscribed to my channel in 2025 and stuck around! Big projects are coming at the start of 2026! Happy New Year!
2025 was a turbulent yet also amazing year. Though I faced a number of personal challenges behind the scenes I began building my off grid home and dream turning it into my reality.
To be honest, years ago I didn’t think this would ever be achieved and would remain a dream I would bury deep in the back of my mind. Showing up and pushing through day after day for years somehow has paid off.
This is just the beginning. The aim for 2025 was to establish basic systems so I can survive well here. The aim for 2026 is about building and planting to thrive!
See you in the New! 👍🏼🌲

Uploaded the wrong file this morning. Here is the correct new video! https://youtu.be/NYwH8g6FKXM
Can’t believe I’ve already been here for almost 1 year! Should I make a super mega 1 year video of everything I built?
