[@peggywilliams2461]

You are an amazing couple! May the Lord bless you!

[@wildastewart4602]

It was very interesting

[@alittleheavenonearth]

Such kind and encourage words ❤we need more peopl like this ♡♡❤❤

[@artisaiah]

Thanks!

[@tabitha-sk5kc]

My grandmother had a sewing machine like that one! And I love the beautiful quilt on the couple's bed.

[@Henri377]

Fabulous video ! Thank you so much! If at all possible please give a BIG Thank You to this great couple for sharing their private home. It's absolutely beautiful ❤

[@Judy43070]

I love it! So warm & cozy !

[@greenbamboo4264]

It’s a beautiful property. They are a very sweet family, wishing them all the best on their off grid journey.

[@Patricia_10_3]

I recommend a lifetime cooler. It keeps ice for 5 days. We've tested it camping, best 100 spent.

[@Jo-Leaton]

Thanks for the suggestion, we've actually been thinking about upgrading the cooler!

[@cynthiachambers4105]

Beautiful Family with a Inspirational Story. They choose to live a Sustainable Life and It Looks Great. A Relaxing Atmosphere and Taking one day at a time, Thanks for Sharing Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏❤️🥰😇🐕 P.S. Your Pup 🐶 is Adorable

❤❤❤❤😊

[@denisebd1000]

I like their yurt and they keep it nice and clean!

[@shiralleehaggart72]

This is the most welcoming home I have seen on these videos. Too many videos I have seen all jump on the minimalist bandwagon and are usually boring grey and white and resemble the show home look. This family have a cozy home and a lovely comfortable place to raise their child. Regardless of what any frothing minimalist may think.

[@suzannecranford6819]

This is awesome and your home is lovely! I would love to try to live off grid. I think some of the conveniences we take for granted are wasteful and tend to make us lazier than we need to be. I have been living tiny since 2011, and I love it!This tour is one of the best I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us!

[@leniecolleenford]

We don't know you, but we are so proud of you!!! ✨ Thank you for sharing your home, this inspires our ideas, thanks 🫂

[@alittleheavenonearth]

❤❤❤kind words go along way ❤

[@Speakfordemocracy]

Sorry, my first thought was, I have that dress!!! Lol… one of my favorites!!! Love what you have accomplished!!

[@Jo-Leaton]

Haha I love this dress! 😂 Thank you!

[@Speakfordemocracy]

@@Jo-Leaton It’s a great dress!! Very comfortable as well!!! It was a great choice for the tour!! Btw, I watched the tour you did. I think you did better than you are giving yourself credit for!! As a mom, I think my favorite thing is your rocking chair! Because when you talk about rocking all your babies in it, I get that 100%!! You asked about suggestions on filming things. I’d say set the camera up somewhere and just do your normal thing. You will catch something interesting sooner or later. Also, you could set up a night cam, if you think you have any critters visit. But, really, I don’t vlog or anything, I’m probably not the best person to be giving advice on it. But how about a Harvest haul from your garden?

[@berniedonaldson6291]

Great job guys, my kids are grown & now such an inviting idea. Piece & quiet. Love it ❤❤

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, wow, absolutely the home. Obviously you don’t have TV having all the kids but that’s alright. Keep up the good work , have more kids and fill it up

[@vickytimmerman1365]

You two are so sweet!!!!

[@law81669]

You are doing awesome with this beautiful lifestyle, may the Lord Jesus continue to bless you and bless the work of your hands ...❤

[@alittleheavenonearth]

Amen ❤

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

[@communispider4643]

Love your beautiful home

[@dorothyann-n2h]

Awesome 👍😎👍 Family 🙏👍🙏, tysm for sharing

[@Lifelongfoodie]

❤What a beautiful set up!❤ Nice! 👍❤

[@friedbones8227]

Interesting yurt setup, but where do you wash up? Surely you have a tub and some way to wash up? All I saw in the video was the kitchen sink but it was pretty small for adults to wash up in.

[@lilyamongbrambles4458]

They said their parents live next door so I bet they use the shower/bath over there.

[@Jo-Leaton]

@@lilyamongbrambles4458 Bingo! Most of our bathing happens next door for now. We've thought about trying to figure out some kind of outdoor shower, but other things keep taking priority. Maybe someday!

[@barbarawilliams236]

Love love love your yurt❣️❣️❣️

[@AlaineNamink]

Enjoyed viewing your video! Very unique!

[@joanneganon7157]

Nicely Done 🎉. Enjoy! JO JO IN VT 💞

[@joyhobbs5431]

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

nice. life style shows one doesn't need 14,000 sf

[@tarjakangas6681]

Did text too soon,lol,lovely ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@katj8120]

🖤

[@deannajackson1172]

I lost my grannies house due to fire and in it was the sink with a single sink and the drain boards with the exact same metal cabinets, different color, same logo and all. I sure miss the sink and the kitchen and the house

[@pureimaginationsweetscandy7972]

What size is that? Looks like a 24ft.

[@billd7722]

A cooler, a propane camp grill, They're not living, they're camping

[@bonniebryan2541]

They seem happy with it.

[@EvelynSchlagel-n4m]

Very nice, looks comfortable, and laid back, great way to live off the grid,probably inexpensive, and gives you more time to spend with each other

[@berniedonaldson6291]

Yep, living their way 🎉🎉

[@UniquelySustainable]

Humans lived with less for most of our history.

[@Jo-Leaton]

@@UniquelySustainable Our thoughts exactly!

[@AVILLAGEGIRLLL]

😊❤

[@schannstewart9385]

Where do they shower or take a bath?

[@jayemveekay1719]

It always makes me feel a little icky thinking they dont

[@Jo-Leaton]

We do most of our showering at Jo's folks' house next door for now. We do family dinners over there almost every night, so we just end the evening with baths and stories with the grandparents 😊 We've thought about building an outdoor shower, but other things seem to keep taking priority!

[@__-pl3jg]

Soooo....Where's the insulation? Looks nice though.

[@__-pl3jg]

@@Mel_o1234 - Yea I saw that part but there's nothing in the walls or ceiling. I guess their weather doesnt change much throughout the year.

[@mattr.1887]

A lot of these tiny homes/living-in-car videos, everyone seems to be living in a nice, remote forest with no one else around for miles and it's always 65 degrees. More power to em, 100%. But this ain't reality where I live lol.

[@brandilee520]

These yurts have reflective insulation in the walls and ceiling, not as good as regular insulation but better than nothing.

[@MrsRubens]

This looks to be in the Pacific Northwest, which doesn’t have cold winters. These yurts typically have insulation of some sort. There are several companies in Washington, Oregon and California that make them, and people stay in yurts even in parts of Canada over winter. He did say he insulated the floor after they set the yurt up.

[@Jo-Leaton]

@@mattr.1887 Haha I wish it was always 65 degrees! It can get down into the single digits at night here during the winter, but our wood stove keeps us toasty warm. In fact, last winter our whole valley lost power for several days, and we had the warmest house in the neighborhood! 😉 It can get toasty during the hottest days of summer - we are definitely glad for the shade in our spot!

[@tarjakangas6681]

Lovely but where do the kids sleep?Did I miss that?❤

[@kevinbullock8837]

[@sidonieburton2448]

It doesn’t take much investment to have a 1500 watt solar portable power supply and a 12v fridge, and a few solar light fixtures. I’ve been living off my Eco Flo and Jackery for years. No need to be so austere. Props on the interior layout. Good use of space. Sorry but…I’d need a mini-split in summer.

[@georgeelder8415]

Does anyone work outside the home???

[@Jo-Leaton]

Cody works full time as a paramedic :)

[@MagdalenaHunsaker]

Just trying to read the titles on your bookshelf....

[@peggyowen3386]

Do you live in the united state?? If so, what state

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Where do children ( number?) sleep?

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

I just got to the bedroom part. 😉

[@colleenlongardner2692]

I've always wondered about sustainable lifestyles. It would seem people into that would realize cutting down trees is bad for the earth. Not to mention wood burning stoves add to the hazards in our atmosphere. And if I understood correctly, they put human waste in their compost. Hope they all stay healthy.

[@Maddie2u]

I would worry about rodents....are they an issue? I think you're wise to prioritize your life around your values....

[@Jo-Leaton]

Amazingly, we haven't had any issues with rodents! We are very careful to keep crumbs and leftover food cleaned up. Our dog sleeping under the yurt might be part of the deterrent too lol

[@jenniboo9441]

Idk this is a bit too rough for me. Living in the dark with no way to even have a cold drink sounds miserable

[@berniedonaldson6291]

It's not your cup of tea, so to speak. It's theirs 😊😊

[@jenniboo9441]

​@@berniedonaldson6291 yep

[@alittleheavenonearth]

It's what people's priorities are all about ❤

[@FutureNomad68]

They have a fridge, ice and a cooler.

[@thelandofmint]

Goodness me! If not having a cold drink is considered miserable, what if you really face misery? And I'm sure with the current situation in the world, you will. As I live off grid myself without even solar panels, just a tiny portable one to charge a small power bank to charge this old mobile phone with a limited access to internet...I can tell you, the city life you live is what real misery is for me...I grow my own food, breath fresh air here in the mountains, no light or sound pollution, fresh organic foods grown, raised by me...warmth from my trusty wood stove, peace and love.. and yes, I don't drink cold drinks, just fresh clean water..

[@mikeb3167]

Whatever the majority of people are doing …do the opposite and you’ll live a great life

[@hina758]

Amish family

Will you comply with the Democrats secret policy of registering every chicken and have them vxxcinated every six months copied from the E U now Britain that charge five euros for each chicken and thirty euros every six months for vxxcination ?

[@xxzcfdxc]

Are they Amish or something

[@Jo-Leaton]

Nope, just trying something different for our family! We've really enjoyed how living this way has brought our family closer together ❤
