Hawaii man's treehouse paradise makes him an internet star

Are you tired of just slaving away at that dead end job off the beaten path on *** quarter acre of forested land near mountain view. *** big island man is carving out his own little piece of paradise. You know, I love just food, growing food and living in tune with nature and living off grid and having that self lifestyle in 2020 Bretton left his life in Northern California, the land and built his tiny home with his bare hands. It's *** 200 square foot home, but it's like *** tree house spot. He's 30 ft tall and it's very laid out as far as how to make the most out of the space. He has become somewhat of *** social media sensation for the tiktok, Instagram and youtube videos. He produces that document his daily doing. His followers are fascinated by this modern day George of the. So I wanted to, you know, accentuate nature and have some exposed beams and some things where you can see living trees and moss in the bathroom, you know, things like that. But at the same time, you know, have wifi have *** refrigerator, have *** hot shower you know, all these things that really make it comfortable. Solar panels, power the lights and appliances. *** large tank collects rainwater that's filtered and pumped to his sink and shower. He grows tropical fruits, vegetables and herbs in his garden and greenhouse. When you're out here in the general, that laundry list just piles up on you. Now, the general itself is its own full time job. Bretton supports himself through *** food supplement company he founded and his social media accounts where hundreds of thousands of people watch his videos on yoga, meditation and lifestyle changes. The biggest bill he pays is the $25 *** month for his wife. This is the legacy that I'm building and living with authenticity in order to hopefully inspire others to do the same. I can't believe it's been almost *** year living 100% off the grid. Bretton is 35. He planned this move for 10 years and checked out other places before he settled on the big island, built his tree house and started living on less. I'm Jim Mendoza for Hawaii news now.
