Living Off-Grid on a Tiny House Homestead for 6 Years

yep but you still have to get everything up to permit - not cheap! You have a septic system? Can't permit a composting toilet easily. When I went to the most traditional Berber village in Morocco - they lived off humanure compost for thousands of years - to grow their wheat and veggies in the desert.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

I'm sure she's a nice lady. I just don't see the point in watching the vid for the 40% of the population making $15 an hour or less. We can't afford fancy building permits for septic systems, etc. A real off grid living? I lived in a cabin just south of Denali Alaska - with bear tracks all over outside - and moose - we had to knock down the frozen mountain of crap in the outhouse (that was freezing of course). I'm just saying - ... you can't build like that even now in Alaska! You need permits - too expensive! The Old Timers just threw up cabins with no insulation, etc. I'm talking 1980 by "old time" - not that long ago.

Ultimately, everyone faces the abyss alone and needs strength and a strong will. More young women should be like her.

The only thing I've learned during this pandemic is that people like her living away off grid are the luckiest of all - pandemic hit the cities with many people but never heard of isolated places get infected with whatsoever. The fact that they have live there years prior to the pandemic its normal for them not to see much people around and enjoy their normal life without mask on. I'm currently working abroad for the purpose of me being able to experience how people in the city live compare to where I used to spend my entire younger life in the province and it really is very different. After this pandemic I would surely head off from the city and go back to living in a peaceful, liveable and worthy life in the province/mountain.

I trully miss Ariel. I loved watching and learning from her. God bless you Ariel. You are surely missed.

[@bklcheyma]

what happened !

[@citten4u]

@@bklcheymaAriel has her other things like blogging, facebook I think and I do mean I think it had something to do with you tube and other issues about labeling the channels as adult only for kids etc.... so you may relax she is still here will all of her informational channel but on other stations. Glad to see your o our side. I trull wish with all my heart she would come back but I believe she is trully happy with what she has now. She's a beautiful heart & soul.

[@zukosmom3780]

Bkl cheyma I thought if you published a video as child watchable, then you’re ok. I wonder why she can’t do this

[@bklcheyma]

@@citten4u Thank you

[@owlislike]

Loving this layout. Its nice to see a workable kitchen in a tiny house.

[@JulesKM]

I absolutely love this set up in terms of heating, water, power and the toilet. It's self-sufficient without being too difficult to deal with

[@sssquadshorts2829]

I’m impressed with everything she’s done!!

[@theBUSHBLADE]

THIS LADY IS SUPERWOMAN! I live on a bush homestead in Alaska (no road, back-pack or fly-in supplies) and after hauling water from the spring, splitting wood, etc find it too easy to RELAX. But Ariel does 10 times as much and isn't tired!!

[@ladytess23]

Oh my that was the best videos about tiny homes and living off grid that I have ever seen. What a beautiful home. And the freedom you have with the type of jobs you do is incredible. How wonderfully inspiring. I would love to have this type of a lifestyle. 🙂

[@sallyannc3176]

Freedom to do what tho - looks a bit boring tbh.

[@vcie515]

The moment I saw the first picture of the tiny house, my immediat thoughts were: yeah, Ariel! 😊 Good to see that she's fine! I hope she will come back to her YT channel...

[@arlenevazquez6675]

I grew up in a rural area in Puerto Rico moved to the USA when I was a teenager. I’m always craving this type of lifestyle, specially this year. 🥺 She’s truly leaving my dream

[@ScheneekaAIKENS]

I found this channel a long time ago. love her.

[@JT-cf5ol]

Thank you for the tip about the propane ignition.

[@gjef9971]

A great person living a quality life on her own terms. Much respect.

[@greatestever7623]

She literally went her own way

[@weston.weston]

I'm so happy this channel exists, it provides a ton of inspiration.

[@Blancobobea]

She is literally my hero and has been for years ❤🦋🌻

[@kayleee1410]

i love this off grid house and the dog is adorable😍!!

[@catgrrrl5666]

Dawww... felt sorry for the pup about the stairs but the bit about lifting him up and down made me smile 😘

[@ElsaRhae]

I love Fy Nyth! Her winter camping content is awesome.

[@leslierindel4610]

Where is that I am in South Africa

[@Growmap]

@@leslierindel4610 Somewhere in the far north U.S. I'd guess. I love her lifestyle except for the location. The last place I'd want to live is somewhere winter lasts 8 months of the year. South Africa has perfect weather. Their idea of hot there made me laugh. There are many locations in the U.S. where it gets over 100 degrees F (37.77 Celsius) for weeks on end. Texas, Arizona, parts of California, etc. all get much hotter than Cape Town.

[@IrishMist640]

Ariel's KZbin channel is wonderful, and I've learned so much from her throughout the years. I hope one day she'll return to her channel. Miss her and Burley. Thanks so much for this mini-documentary.

[@oliverallen5324]

Flowers do such a great job of elevating any building.

[@josedacunhafilho]

I have seen a good number of Tiny House postings from this channel, and this one is the only one, so far, I would be happy living in. Maybe because I like how it looks and how the inside looks, but if I had to pick one, this would be it for sure

[@AN-cy7xm]

Great role model for people who might want to pursue this kind of lifestyle.

[@darkisland04]

Ariel does have a nice life. I've been following her story for awhile now. Although it's not something I can currently do, her lifestyle is an inspiration.

[@wilddesertladiesvanlife4399]

Graduations going on your seventh year. You started off the grid about the same time we did. Very beautiful place. We have a 20 Acre Farm off grid don't use the full 20 acres. We start our seventh year October 31st yes Halloween. And keep up the awesome job at least you're safe from all the garbage going on.

[@bibellieder5573]

Wonderful I am stunned what you made all on your own... greetings from Vienna. Hope I can do similare soon. 😊

[@MeganZopf]

Ariel has been living in her tiny house about 3 years longer than me. Our houses are almost identical except hers is 2 feet longer. I built mine unlike her. I used the same plans from the same company. I told her if I had to do it over again, I'd have a builder do it. It took me over 3 years and I'm still not 100% done but overall I am happy. The problem I had was finding a good electrician and plumber. Tiny houses are fairly new so not many familiar with them. I pretty much live off grid like her...hand pouring my own water etc. That does get real old but I am 62 and had major back surgery a few years ago. You did a great job doing her video!!

[@sub4rctic]

interesting. How much space is there for insulation between the walls?

[@mynestintheforestt]

She is an absolute badass. I love this lady. You are so inspiring not just for me but for the future generations to come. Thank you.

[@mmca9323]

She's awesome and her lifestyle is so neat! I love how unpretentious this video was.

[@christianwflaws749]

You are such an inspiration for me to become more self sufficient and minimally living without being so bogged down with things and stuff! Way to go! God bless you!

[@alexanderlenoir7567]

Beautiful lady with a wonderful spirit.

[@bosse641]

Cozy little home. Lovely living.

[@Taking_Back_Thyme]

I was just thinking about Ariel last night while still contemplating a tiny house during the winter. She’s my heroine 🦸‍♀️

[@phileascattermole9998]

Keep coming back to see your beautiful house ❤️❤️❤️. It’s my absolute favourite

[@hannahtaylor854]

Very cool way to live. Also neat to see someone who has been living tiny for so many years. So many tiny house tours are homeowners who have only lived that way less than a year so it’s hard to imagine long term

[@1suitcasesal]

I really love your house design and your garden design. I live a lot like you do. Off grid for almost 15 years and with chickens for fresh eggs and horses to commute with. I have no running water either but I do have septic.

[@margaretcooper797]

What a lovely young woman,she is so hardworking and a great custodian of her environment,I wish her every success in her future life.
