MY OFF GRID YURT | TINY HOUSE - Day 5

MY OFF GRID YURT | TINY HOUSE - Day 5 • MY OFF GRID YURT | TIN... NicHolistic and I, Jake Mace, are in a race. A race to build shelter in the British Columbian wilderness before the bears wake up for the spring. Our first shelter was a rainproof carport from Easy Build Structures in Vancouver. Next we are building a 30' Yurt from Pacific Yurts. The cougars are probably watching us anonymously, the wolves have most likely heard us, and the bears will soon smell us! We must get our shelter erected within the next few weeks. They are coming! This Yurt build and Yurt life will be a journey, we hope you SUBSCRIBE and come with us! Enjoy #yurt #offgrid #tinyhouse #jakemace #livingoffgrid #garden #veganathlete
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. Today we build a shelter to allow us to escape the rain and have a home-base to congregate from!
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

Watch your back! As a lifetime farmer I know the importance of a good back. Even if your'e supper strong, you can still injure your back straining and jerking up on those small trees. Be careful...

[@jksatte]

Exciting seeing you build a home. The whole process. Thanks for taking the time to film for us. Janice

[@Kpound20]

[@scdobserver835]

Wonderful series of vlogs. Can't wait to see the end product. Such inspiration!

[@michaelrobinson1019]

I love these videos. What an adventure!

[@mowilson5588]

You are having communion with your land, it will respond in kind. I imagine that you will have a one of a kind garden. FYI. Your weapon/sword training routine was relaxing to watch. Blessings to you both. 👍🏻🌻🙏🏽

[@VeganAthlete]

09:25 we were nervous this leaning tree may fall on our yurt or platform so both him and the little one next to him had to go. We will have to clear a lot more trees, strategically, to make room for our garden and fruit trees. We will use the wood for log cabin shed, raised beds, and fencing! #haircut (P.S. I have a plan for this stump...that's why it was cut at this height)

[@tammymcneill3359]

you should have made your first cut on the opposite site of the leaning tree and then finish cut is made on the side you cut...that is why it fell the way it did. It was painful to watch you cut it in such a dangerous way.

[@VeganAthlete]

@@tammymcneill3359 I did...AND it wouldn't have mattered anyway...the foliage of the other trees were holding him up and he was already leaning a bit toward them

[@gabyabdallah9176]

Beautiful shooting by drone

[@johnsmith-qe2fd]

When Nicole said eat me I got a little excited

[@Mark-qe9mr]

I wouldn't be too shy about clearing out double what you have done so far. You will find later on that you wish you had. It all grows back so fast anyway.

[@endlessness80]

Best channel on YT. You do what people only talk about doing. 💪

[@FerozKhank79]

You guys are doing a great job . Vegan you inspire me to do this kind of things. I really appreciate your work. And I am excited to see your next video . Love you guys. God bless....

[@ronpackwood8772]

Enjoying your videos 👍

[@MetalGearMk3]

Jake, look into building a "rammed earth" home it'll last generations and super cozy all year round. It's literally dirt cheap to build it, you just need subsoil and lots of physical labor.

[@Alex-uo4qq]

Same for cob houses and earth bag houses. Strawbale houses have the best insulation value but cost more usually. Log cabin could be a possibility as well.

[@MetalGearMk3]

@@Alex-uo4qq very true, I just think rammed earth has a very nice look to it compare to earthbag/cob house. I've been making my own rammed earth bricks to understand the mixture and process. It's an exciting ancient technology. I'm sure Jake could find volunteers for the rammed earth project on the scale of a home.

[@samantha-ellenlambert.7512]

Yes, no repeats, thank you. Yurt space looks amazing in the trees.

[@katherineb6102]

[@gjoep]

Jake! Been there. Done that. Watch your back!!!

[@laurarose5782]

Put a ring on that woman's hand. She works as hard as you Jake.

[@jmcenterprises9591]

Good that you both are doing this now. In 20 years you'll look back and say what the heck were we thinking? Jake I wish I could give you my chain saw. So much easier. Thanks for taking us along!

[@PaulC001]

YURT YURT YURT! :D

[@triumphmanful]

I would make a nice enclosure over and around (out house style ) the potty seat. Nicole would really like some privacy ! I'll bet money on it ! Drones are awesome for the views they record. Music fits perfectly. Thanks for that.

[@aitormolina8592]

Captivating scenery! Thanks guys :)

Use the spirit van and a spare tyre to remove the small trees, with a heavy chain you tie to base of trunk and over the spare tyre as you drive forward the chain pulls up and out

[@chrisslade5644]

Boy, that sure is tough back breaking work! Very well done the two of you. You continue to amaze me with your strength, vision and sheer determination.

[@margaretrosin7853]

If you could show how you cook in the cast iron Dutch oven, that would be awesome. Those potatoes looked perfect!

[@DougTozier]

I agree; some more "instruction" would be awesome!

[@lancemcnichol2354]

Jake & Nicole - Thank you for filming and sharing your adventure. I love seeing how you are progressing every few days with excellent videos. Yes, its only March (well April in a day or so) but still very early in the spring. We have had great weather so far this spring and I really hope it holds out. Last summer was not so great... we had "June-uary" (January weather in June), July, August, then pretty much winter. It looks like you have joined a really great community where the neighbors all work together and help each other out - but why did you chose to buy property in that community and not somewhere else? Lance & Carol - Victoria

[@valeriealexander4145]

[@kihyonpark8126]

my back hurts just watching you jerk those trees out of the ground!

[@keandric2765]

Jake, please wear some eye protection when you're chopping trees with that axe. Seeing all the pieces of wood fly Everywhere every time you swing is worrisome =//

[@seanjohnson9817]

use chainsaw too

[@shawnhowe7311]

Saw will make it easier

[@funhousefibers]

This is all just amazingly beautiful - what a gorgeous place to put down roots! I’m so happy that your neighbors are kind and good people 👍🙃

[@triumphmanful]

Yams are yellow inside and sweet potatoes are orange. Yes ? I have found that most produce clerks don't know this. If they do they are the smart ones and know their vegees and how to cook them. I have found a few clerks like this, but they don't stay around long. One fellow was from Jamaica and he explained all of the cool, weird looking, big, round vegees he had for sale. he told me how to cook them too. Very nice and smart guy.

[@rennells]

You two should get a couple of goats to help you clear the area. They will do an amazing job!

[@BESHYSBEES]

Chained with collars

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

Yummy looking dinner ! WHERE IS THE PROTEIN !!! Cutting standing timber goes much faster with a saw, especially a two man saw. You should also now understand why lumber jacks from a 100-150 years ago spent HOURS every evening filing their saws and axes ! Your foundation blocks really should be sitting on about 15cm-20cm of gravel. After every winter those blocks will sink deeper into the soil. If you have gravel underneath them, you can simply jack up the low spots and add more gravel.

[@halfgridhomestead]

That's some heavy lifting guys! Nice job. Hope you guys got your evening massages and adjustments table set up :) Don't be snappin yo shit up out there in the woods.

[@VeganAthlete]

Hahaha! We need a full-time masseuse!

[@BeMyVforever]

Jakee where is your safety glasses for chopping trees man, tiny wood particles at insane fast speeds lodging into eyeballs would suck insanely. Otherwise cool video! I used the same pack of dried bean curd skin last night too, didn't know it was a thing that's popular in the west ^^ I love it in sweet barley drinks too, maybe you can try it one day!

[@user-zt3vt2fi1e]

If you cut it about 1m from the ground and then knock it down, you can easily take roots ... I think every time.

[@harolddomangue9206]

I like the scenery of the lake what area are you two at I would like to see the lake and all its surroundings. I like to see the beauty of lake fronts and I do enjoy fishing different lakes as a pastime

OMG! I thought you might have twisted your ankle when you tripped over tree! Be careful! I slipped the other day getting out of our van on some freaking leaves 😕 Ok my fault for not wearing proper foot gear, but my Uggs are comfy 😜

[@AlexLemberg]

Yeah, cool. But hey, just as someone mentioned, notch cut the tree first, and maybe get some professional to help you get started taking down bigger trees. That could have ended really badly :( I know, that tree wasn't the biggest one, but hey, the forces unleashed when something goes wrong in that process can create some serious injury in a fraction of a second. Please take this advice from a Finn that has been surrounded by trees and woods all his life (and also have been a long time follower, and I wanna keep on doing that!).

what about fruit trees and stuff? how extensive will your garden here be? do you plan to garden the whole forest property essentially? or just that section with the spaced apart raised beds?

[@kenrickgoddard4177]

you guys are going great guns on your project and I enjoy watching every moment of it. A bit of caution when felling large trees there is a safer technique to it...google the felling.
