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.

@@John-co6mo I don't think she's totally alone. She has many neighbors for whom she works to trade for things. She mentioned having friends over for dinner and to stay. This is life on one's own terms. Living with others is constant accommodation and compromise; as a result, often one loses self-reliance, self-sufficiency, self-confidence. 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 myself was a sworn spinster before getting married at the age of 36 many years ago, and it did not faze me at all to be called as such.

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.

[@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.

[@dianedegree3615]

You mentioned a guest bed, and room at the table for friends...what time shall I come over? Lol You are inspiring!!

[@faiththao268]

Lol 😂

[@kayleee1410]

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

[@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

[@stacylambert4948]

I live the complete opposite life as you (high rise in a large city). I admire your lifestyle. It seems so freeing and healthy.

[@gjef9971]

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

[@greatestever7623]

She literally went her own way

[@KombuchaLiz]

How can one person be this awesome. What a great life she is living

[@lorah1712]

Really great to see someone who's been happily living tiny for this long! Kudos to her for designing her life around what she actually wants instead of others'/society's expectations! I do wonder how she gets healthcare, that's always my first thought when people don't have full-time jobs.

[@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...

[@TenerifeHorseRescue]

what a gorgeous tiny house! the fact that it`s self sufficient just makes it even better!

[@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

[@yuhrex]

I've always wanted that 😔

[@laceysnursery5080]

Amen!

[@hambone3145]

No alarm clock??? I wonder what that's like

[@doesntmatter7788]

@ right!

[@professionalpainthuffer]

Even better when what you love is being outside with your hands in dirt. I'm in the process of saving the money for a property so I can do this, but with sheep, chickens, and a milking goat.

[@Taking_Back_Thyme]

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

[@Blancobobea]

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

[@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.

[@JT-cf5ol]

Thank you for the tip about the propane ignition.

[@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?

[@lindahamilton5216]

This lady is truly an inspiration. It's something I have thought about for a long time and now my children are long grown up it's something I am considering seriously. I've been living in Turkey for over 18 years and my typical expat villa is not what I want any more. We have a lovely climate here for most of the year and many fairly remote areas. With all what has been going on these past two year and now watching this I think it may have just given me the kick I need to change my life. Thank you 🙂

[@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!

[@mmca9323]

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

[@ScheneekaAIKENS]

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

[@lisablakeney5676]

She is living my dream except, I own a beautiful piece of property to do it. Working on doing it myself by next spring.

[@shaz2868]

Good luck with your property. I hope it goes well and you end up with something you love. X

[@bin_patel]

All the very best, you can do it :)

[@j.sachuo7382]

Good Luck! I also own a property. About a half acre. I am in the process of building a tiny home too. I am also starting a small garden. Not much yet, but I am getting there little by little.

[@swan2601]

good luck!! :)

[@dancewithluv4545]

Yes do it!! You got this!!!😊

[@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.

[@cq7415]

This girl is amazing. Simple life, no expenses, loves hiking, nature photography. Nice woman. Thanks for sharing.

[@kartr9037]

That's just lovely...

[@LitoGeorge]

So weird. Yesterday I was just thinking what ever happened to "Fy Nyth" or so it was in my minds memory. The ladies hair is lighter this time around, but she seems just as happy, if not happier than a few year ago. Wonderful!

[@natewrites7803]

I had been thinking the same thing Litogeorge. Her old channel sort of disappeared. Glad I found her again.

[@CanYouRememberWhen]

@@natewrites7803 - Her channel is still there, she just doesn't post on it. She did just post an update on it however, and does give information and links to other ways of keeping up with her. Her videos have been missed.

[@patricke5403]

I respect this woman more than any A list Hollywood actress. This is the real way to live. Life is constantly in motion. Manual labor, nature, and living in the moment. A true representation of happiness in my candid opinion. I know people who literally live in a 15,000 sq ft home and they are absolutely miserable to their eyeballs.

[@AN-cy7xm]

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

[@cauthoncrazy]

Ariel! She has another video on KZbin and she seems so nice. She's really got this on lock.

[@woodstockxx]

Beautiful..we should all be living this way..as we did in the past 🙏🏻

[@kevinadams9468]

When did we live in 150,000 dollar trailers? In what past was that? Seriously?

[@yourmajesty3569]

The tiny home/ off grid/ homestead life interests me because I really like having a purpose to my life. I want a much smaller dwelling and the savings/effort it takes to function daily. We've all lost that sense of purpose that comes with gathering food and getting firewood and living more outdoors. It seems like it would be more comfortable, but we lose a sense of purpose and intention in our lives that has a unique reward for people. #intentionallife BTW the use the word hearth is ancient.....
