Living In A Yurt | COLD & WET - Off The Grid, Day 8 • Living In A Yurt | COL... The Weather Hits HARD in this episode but my amazing girlfriend Nicole and I are up to the task! We are only a couple days away from completing our Yurt. One more day the platform will be done, then the yurt will go up in a day or two. Give us POSITIVE thoughts in the comments below and wish us two more days of sunny weather! We need it!
This Yurt build and Yurt life will be a journey, we hope you SUBSCRIBE and come with us! Enjoy #yurt #offgrid #tinyhouse #seeds #livingoffgrid #garden #veganathlete #gardening #DIY
Nicole and I are attempting to live off the grid in British Columbia, Canada. We have 8 acres of forest property sandwiched in between the Pacific Ocean, a fresh water lake, and a stream which flows year round from the lake into the ocean. For over nearly 10 years I grew a fruit tree, permaculture, garden, and native edible plant, herb, and raised bed garden food forest. You can still watch all the garden videos of my old desert garden in Arizona. I was born in British Columbia and I have returned to the Rain Forests of British Columbia to a "Raw Land" property to grow my 1st FULL EDIBLE FOOD FOREST Off Grid on a wilderness property. This climate is temperate and coastal, rarely seeing snow in the winter and highs in the 80's (30 Celsius) in the summer. It is a rare microclimate that spans from gardening zone 7-9. The property is 8 acres and completely overgrown, mostly with conifer trees. This area is a verifiable rain forest and situated in the Southwestern-most tip of the Canadian "Great Bear Rain Forest". NicHolistic ( / holisticnicole ) and I will be learning about edible seaweeds, edible native plants, edible mushrooms, and many other edible native trees/plants as we attempt to Build a Yurt, Draw Our Energy Clean, Live Off the Grid, and Grow an Epic Superfoods Garden and Fruit Tree Orchard. We will also have a lot of changes coming so get ready. More videos and BTS Clips at my VLOG channel / adventureswjakenicole

[@fjnagle2nd]

My father in law, when setting post into the ground, would just add the dry cement into the hole and let the ground moisture set it. Was a very effective use of cement, and no mixing required. Not sure how effective it would be in your application, but would have been a huge time saver...

[@diannej2406]

I've done that but added water to the dry cement in the hole. Worked well with the quick-set cement mix.

[@fancyman9369]

The yurt is movin and a groovin!

[@thinkingofothers353]

~~~ My friends , I find it a joy watching as the time goes on. Please be careful and enjoy everything as the time goes by my friends......

[@wenglinchi6321]

Lovely Couple Good Luck for your journey.. #STAY POSITIVE God Bless You 🙏🏻❤️

[@hocuspocus8278]

Just a few more days!! You guys got this! All the best weather vibes coming your way to finish the yurt🌞 🤞🏻🤞🏻 goodluck 😘

[@terriefriday2462]

Thanks for sharing. You are coming along on your yurt.

[@sandypratt8951]

Love the look of the boots. 👍

[@sallybeth23]

Another fun episode. Everything looks awesome and wow what a great haul of seeds

[@larryjohanseniv7049]

You two are frigging awesome! Kudos to your synergy through all the incessant gnats!

[@jonathantooth3190]

Can I strongly recommend putting some diagonal bracing between the stumps and bearers and also work on getting your stumps level vertically the other thing I noticed on the vid it looked like your concrete mix was to a bit on the wet side. I love what you guys are doing I’m doing something similar here in OZ.

[@zehnsechz]

yes please at a minimum

[@VeganAthlete]

Stay tuned

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Enjoyed this episode very much brother.

[@nerd4rocks]

Hi Jake, hello from Phoenix.you done a lot of work on the stilts, I'm just worried that there are no diagonals to keep them from laying down on you when you load it down. Hope that's in the instructions. A good side wind will put several hundred pounds sideways force on your structure

[@zehnsechz]

this

[@VeganAthlete]

Stay tuned

[@ummsalma7615]

Amazing progress, u guys are awesome! Love watching your journey be safe!!

[@therabbitswhisper]

Its soooo awesome to see a couple using their hands for something other than their cell phones. Keep it up you two.

[@jad1714]

Can’t wait to see the yurt

[@elaineg4921]

I'm amazed that you moved from the desert to cold humid wet weather. I wish you both the best. Blessings

[@mistercut8331]

wish them good luck but no way i could do it

[@Titunka]

I cant wait to see it when it will be done! good luck with that!!🤗

Saludos!.

[@shaquanconyers9963]

Just a few more days to complete

[@kylefournier1018]

Glad you got some proper work boots 👍

[@x-x-blue_bladezzzz-x-x9474]

YOU are both blessed to be able to work side by side most couples one or the other will work out side but it's rare to see both anymore. GREAT videos

[@paulineyoung1453]

I love the work you both do,you both work so hard. I also love watching your videos.😀👋

[@triumphmanful]

I like the yurt with the wool inner wall that has an outer and inner cover too. Also a small yurt room attached bathroom with toilet, sink & shower for some privacy ! Thats how I would build mine ! Solar panels too and a water catching system.

[@bucknasty7156]

Peppermint oil works!. Keeps the ticks off of you when it warms up too

[@JanColdwater]

Buck Nasty I have found when I shower with Dr. Bronners Eucalyptus Castile Soap, I am usually the one not getting bit in the crowd. 👍

[@bloomsflowerslovers4080]

Love the view beautiful

[@unsilentzone3357]

TIP: to get rid of nats/mosquitoes, light a fire and burn green material. The smoke from green wood/leaves makes them go away. After a fire, they will stay away for a decent amount of time

[@sodateke]

Love this channel, my favorite on KZbin

[@edhiett]

You could take a still picture from 1:50 and hang it up in your yurt somewhere, that's a really beautiful portrait of your home to be, from it's earliest beginnings. That or maybe a drone pic, like at 13:55. So awesome to see all this coming to fruition, super happy for you both, hope the weather stays good and the bugs thin out!

[@karenenglish8762]

I'm watching you both from the start must say I love your channel the off grid life is amazing can't wait to see the start of the yurt going up lots of love from Ireland your to lovely people and I would love to see you both live off the land

[@steverobinson4199]

Watching the yurt build is so awesome. Cant wait to see it completed. And, cant wait for the food forest you guys are planning. So satisfying to see the journey. You rock lady and gent. And if y'all want to live off the land and eat some fish ect... I say so what to all the naysayers.

[@PWlangford1]

Good job.

[@GreenVegan816]

I swear I'm itchy just thinking about all those nasty bugs. Not sure how you're putting up with it. But, I would still do what you two are doing in a heartbeat! Love the boots.

[@susanporter3399]

Wow I hope those seeds make lots and lots of wonderful good tasteful meals 😋 I think those nets love that oil for such tiny insects they are the biggest pain

[@coffeebuzzz]

You need cross bracing dude. Add much more weight and the whole thing will fall over, it's called racking. If those were long piles in the ground it wouldn't be necessary but they are just free standing on the ground.

[@twelvepetaledlotus1721]

Your 100% on that.

[@dodge7679]

Agree with that

[@zehnsechz]

jake listen to the tips please

[@jonathansoberg1345]

also agree or at least wonder what magic will keep this from falling :) Love your stuff though

[@terryjp3050]

to arrogant to listen. if they make a year I will be surprised. they don't like rain,wind bugs, cold?????

[@brendan87]

Try making your concrete a bit drier in the future, the more water to add the weaker you make it. Love how far you guys have come in a short amount of time!

[@jmac9494]

Jake, when we went to Lac Parent in Quebec, the early kin cousins of those bugs were the rage. The only peas we had was out on the water fishing was bug free, totally. Then back on land was waving with the hand because bee veils were not in the plan. The bugs are a part of weedout, kept the wimps out of there. And windy air is bug free too. I decided to say I love the cold because snow means no mud or bugs. Nicole not wiping out is amazing.

[@sheilamorse2624]

Be sure to check your PawPaw seeds if they didn't advice you to check them upon arrival. They are packed in moisture to keep the seeds from drying out and they will mold. Tough seed to germinate. Lots of wonderful selection of seeds you've chosen for this growing season. I live near Baker's Creek and visit twice per year and have watched a fledgling company grow into what it is today thanks to all the people who are opening their hearts and minds like yourselves. Happy Gardening!

[@Harii_B_TV]

Horizontal connections plus braces will make these supports more stable whenever the yurt stands on it and being blown by winds. :)

[@fancyman9369]

The bugs are movin and a groovin! They will shape you up and work you out!

[@helionfelix6280]

Very nice... Video...

[@WatchMaine]

Clear tube and water works good for a long level. Cross braces a must!! My camp post are 4 feet in the ground to beat the frost.

[@cathleenbaldwinmaggi2252]

Maybe plant some Citronella in the area? I have pots of it around my patio and it keeps the mosquitos away.

[@gonewiththekale]

You two really blow me away - totally amazing. And looks like you have as many weather changes there as you have bugs! WOW!! I do pray for some wind relief while y’all work to help keep the gnats away tho, that has to be so difficult working like that. The boots look like Timberlands! Love them! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@masisboxingbelts]

1:) Stove Heater 100% . And you can cook in top ( checkout living traditions for that) 2:)Water catchment that connects inside the yurt for inside shower . 3:) air conditioner powered by solar

[@VeganAthlete]

Masis Belts stove heater and burner yes. No need for a/c. Rain shower good idea

[@lesmontgomery7002]

Living the dream! I'm a little jealous. Lol

[@leonawilliams6599]

Hello '' from Oregon ' boy you guys have been very busy even getting in your gardens'' I was seeing how darn cold the boat ride was I bought myself a full face stocking cap the kind they use for skiing '' might help some'' I thought of a tarp but that might bow in the wind n blow away'' maybe invest in a covered boat later on'' so you dont get so wet n cold' I am very excited to see the yurt' up and you two in it nice n snug n warm'' bless you both In all you do and need'

[@gordonnorman8259]

Another idea for seeds... When I lived in Maine (with equally short growing season as northern Vancouver) I procured seeds from Veseys seeds on Prince Edward Island, Canada and was always satisfied with their product. Not sure how they compare in price to your current supplier, but thought you might like to know in case you want to expand or compare seed sources.

[@KFetner]

I wonder if using citronella torches and/or candles around the work area would help with the insects. Might look into gnat hats too.

[@jonescreekfarm9084]

Baker Creek is my favorite seed company. Make Shute you open those paw paw seeds right away. They come wrapped in wet material because they can’t dry out. Takes 6-8 weeks before you see germination... but you probably already know that. Just get them planted ASAP .

[@Jason_xofilos]

Yea! Made the the live...video From San Francisco

Great job guys...Maybe a little liberal with water in the mix but job done🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@denisemacdonald2062]

I love Baker Creek! Also look into seed savers exchange. I got 100% germination on the seeds I started!

[@MrShieldone]

I am glad to hear you will install! I would disagree that not necessary. Basic engineering. Just want you guys to be safe and happy!

[@MrShieldone]

I will watch, and I will take a breath, lol. Just have me concerned. Your need for X bracing could have been minimized by shorter uprights. The further above grade, the more the need.

[@biglou4452]

Nice boots👍

[@suebar5177]

Good work....go Nicole go...heehee😊🌞 Yes Baker Creek is dangerous! Check out Adaptive Seeds for PNW gardens

[@HFTLMate]

COol I hope the Paw Paws grow, if I were u man I'd find some quince in the store and cook that up for a nice meal, but also plant the seeds and then graft some loquats on I reckon u can grow them there

[@jonbeams9786]

If the temp is below 60f. Warm the water to 115f then mix with concrete. Then pour in. The cold ground will absorb the water allowing the concrete to set quicly and will mot crack as it cures.

[@tomastylecek7209]

the best bug repellent i got is just start a smokey fire, not burning, just smoke. keep it covered if its about to rain. bugs are instantly gone

[@dezarae1984]

I was wondering if you were going to order from Baker Creek or find another company. It was cool to see all of your order at the end of the video. Can’t wait to see your and Nicole’s thriving garden.

[@jimstormcrow]

Old fashioned trick for dealing with the bugs is to drink tonic water...it has quinine in it...the quinine comes out of your pores (or somesuch) and the mossies hate it...I use it a lot here in Ireland.

[@kianaj6238]

I’m the same with baker creek ordering seeds at 1 am next thing you know it’s 4 in the morning and you’re hundreds in 😂

[@newffee]

Do you have framing hammers or just regular ones? A framing hammer is much more effective. As everyone said below you need some cross bracing also.

[@pherhymeswithamc6399]

you can look for organic pyrethrum oil. it can be sprayed around tents, yards, clothes, etc. its made from a small white daisy. its a perennial to zone 6. for skin lemon eucalyptus oil works really good. cedar oil, also, but it wears off faster. you can use lemon e. EO in your laundry, as well. youll smell like a citronella candle but it works well. it also helps on the bites. so does coconut oil and whole leaf aloe vera gel. i use a combo of the EO of lemon e. diluted into coconut oil. you don't want to get pyrethrum directly on your skin so it needs to be dry. there are a lot of pyrethrim products on the market that are not organic or actually made from the flower. pyrethrum is organic approved although you don't want to apply it to yards, gardens, etc, while your beneficial insects are out.

[@melissateed6232]

Rub fabric softner sheets on yourself. The mosquitos seem to hate it.

[@VeganAthlete]

What are some features we should have inside the yurt, outside the yurt, and in our garden???

[@masisboxingbelts]

Is it okay to have Scythians technology mixed with modern technology ?

[@halfgridhomestead]

def. an exit window incase a bear walks in. maybe a bear escape zip line across the property lol.

[@lancemcnichol2354]

How about an escape hatch in the floor! If one of those second growth trees come down on your yurt in a big windstorm it might not survive, that big timbers of the floor / decking probably would.

[@Elaine-br4lw]

How about a medicinal garden?

[@Penelope.Banana]

A loft! Bed up in the loft and living space on the main platform. Composting toilet as well!

[@dhenbhoy]

Maybe too late for the advice but have you tried making small fires that produce a lot of smoke to clear the bugs from the area? When I work outside here in Goa I do it to keep the mosquitoes away and it seems to work. You can use coffee cans to produce a good coal bed then just add damp/green material to produce smoke.

[@mgm2008]

You two are such hard workers! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What kind of trees are you planning on growing?????????????

[@Zoro16288]

I like the Tim pro w steel toes slip resistance, those are way better I use to wear them while working in disruption. And I started to grow some : yu choy sum, baby bok choy, and Chinese aqua spinach , those are very good stir fried w garlic and oil , yu choy sum I boiled w water and oil and then some oyster sauce on top and then use the veggie water to melt down the oyster sauce (not too much) but unfortunately some iguana ate all my veggie , and I lived in FL 🤣

[@neilmunro6683]

Hi Jake, Nicole You are both amazing. Enjoyed this a great deal. You have nats, we have the Scottish midgie. You have four seasons in one day so do we, unfortunately!! I am so interested in what will grow and produce for you both as a result of your seasons... If we were playing a game of cards I would say snap. Not living in a yurt yet though!!! Kindness your way Neil ( Lochness Scottish highlands )

[@iam4330]

I love her "Spiritual Gangster" hoodie! Reminded me of Matt Kahn ❤️ where did she find it? You could burn some sage or any smokey wood to help deter gnats 🔥 💨

[@zoar541]

Have you tried skin so soft by avon .I know it works for mosquitoes not sure about the nats.

[@nerd4rocks]

Try to find a trap and toss fly catcher. They stink, but they sure attract the flies, maybe the nats 2. A natural way of trapping flies in an orchard is to put a jar with a lid with some holes in the top, and some water vinegar and sugar

[@michelemerchant]

You'll want to add some X bracing to your pier posts. That squishy BC soil is going to be problematic during the thaw. The X bracing will help tie the supporting structure together. Lemon eucalyptus oil mixed with neem oil should help a bit with the bugs. You two are adorable. Good luck.

[@adriari25]

Hi Jake & Nicole,... good job, guys but... have you thought about how to protect that area from snakes? for the under house is a perfect place to stay for them ... 🌼🌾🌈

[@777cygnus]

🤓👍Good 🔥nats

[@tdgdbs1]

I hope that concrete footings last more than one season of frost heave.

[@sarabee7701]

Hey there, I grew up on the coast as well, beautiful country. I still try and make a trip out there every couple of years visiting different parts. I commend you both for chasing your dreams although sometimes I wonder at some of the risks you’re both taking(still, it’s your life and hers and who am I to say what is best? I’m no expert) Although I’d like to impart some friendly advice...about those midges.the no see-ums and later on in the summer the deer fly that you might see? Try tea tree oil if you haven’t already...just don’t get it in your eyes or ingest it. It has many uses and I’ve used it and it works. The other way to repell bugs is by using smudge fires and wood ash. The other piece of advice I have is seeds - love what you’re both trying to do and would recommend westcoastseeds.com they are a Canadian company from mainland B.C. - you’d save on shipping and they have planting times and lots of info that would help you out. I’ve bought from both Baker Creek and Westcoast seeds. They’re both great. It’s just that Westcoast seeds is closer to you(less carbon footprint) and the seeds are viable to your zone. Best of luck to you both. Looking forward to seeing what grows.

[@hocuspocus8278]

I wonder if burning sage or some other dried herb would repel the bugs 🤷‍♀️

[@sinfonianbarelytone9191]

Will the bugs leave when you finish your home? Is there a marshy area near there where they live? Work on that. Those bugs look miserable. Great work folks. Might consider plastic under the supports for dry storage.

[@juliefleming111]

Hello you guys from Johnny in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Just recently discovered your videos. I love them, but I don't know about living with the insects. Johnny

[@jodiebennett1719]

I sure hope that you haven't just spiced yourself up as lunch! Love what you both are doing. Wish I was you g enough to do it all over again.

[@lancemcnichol2354]

Hey Jake. Thanks for another great video. As I have commented in Nicole's videos, there is some use of the same footage, but it doesn't really matter as you both have become good at providing some slightly different angles and edits of the footage which makes it all seem quite fresh. Eg: I loved the brief reverse jump up onto the beams and reverse hat toss - the forward of which was in Nicole's video. One of the viewers on the premiere made a comment about running in cougar country. This is something you should really consider seriously as all the attacks on Vancouver Island fall into two categories: 1) small children crouched down playing with their backs to the woods. 2) people running or biking near dawn/dusk which, to a cat, makes you look like a yummy gazelle and triggers their natural hunting instincts of pursuit. So please take care as there is a very high rate of attacks in the Port Alice and north island area. Looking forward to your next video which shouldn't be too long a wait as I think I saw you type the word "tomorrow"?! Simply AWESOME. Lance only this time - Victoria

[@yosh_io]

The essential oil you need for mosquitoes is cintranila. That’s what is in all the natural bug repellent. Also for roaches they hate cedar wood oil. If can, plant cintranila plants all over and it will help some. 🤙🏻

[@nousername6056]

You could try a cork hat to ward off insects :)

[@garrycole9187]

You guys should wear dust mask when you mix cement which you don't want to breathe in. Just a thought :) Nicole can come and hammer for me anytime, I suck at it which is why I always use screws for everything. Shoes look really awesome, you guys have to wear them and give us a review to see how they compare with the real thing. You guys made great progress, love these videos. I am just so fascinated when someone is building something from scratch especially in an odd environment or circumstances. Keep up with the great work.

[@jmac9494]

Yeah better hold your breathe good when the concrete smoke is around you then move away and only breathe in the clean area. You sip the air. Masks don't work. Take 3 deep breathes and hold. It's snorkeling practice. Centarians Jake and Nicole.

[@sinfonianbarelytone9191]

Hehe I did the same order from Territorial Seed which sells seeds to grow in the Pacific Northwest. You guys don't have enough space to grow all that. Lol. Me neither.

[@TietLung]

They make workboots using a type of balistic cloth. Theyre water proof and abrasion resistant.

[@indigowarrior8]

Citronella essential oil is the one for bugs!

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

You guys will get bug ate and bear ate in the far north.Now that is some fun stuff my friend.I will be having fun watching this adventure.But i being Positive.

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

30cm of gravel under each pier block. Simpler, cheaper and better in the long run because it can be easily adjusted for height.

[@dh4923]

paw paw... oh yea

[@halfgridhomestead]

Might be worth getting a couple .99 cent mosquito net hats or head covers

[@jeremymtz360]

Hat netting....Or opening up the brush around your area....more wind flow the less the bugs will get ya...Part of being out there ha good luck

[@PrincestonTheFrenchBulldog]

Avon skin so soft oil original works best for bugs. I even put it on are horses.

[@STONE69_]

Near Beast It works I use that also.

[@kmah3]

You really want to add cross braces to prevent the stilts from racking. There is very little support to prevent lateral movement of the top relative to the bottom of the columns.

I'm sending in wisdom from the gangsta so you can always make great videos and saying the truth is the kicks for the flicks. What if you made a collection on DVD of all you AZ videos and offer them at cost and watch the donations roll in so even if you they shut you down, you can keep rolling. The AZ videos are priceless. If men who are depressed start growing plants, it helps them. Plants are love in a way. Food plants are for sure. And plants never yell at you or tell you that you can't do this or that. A plant can't shut you down, unless........... it's a power plant.
