@Tc the Mandalorian he uses his girlfriends body for views. They have also lied and said they live in the rainforest when they live in British Columbia Canada

[@meanmamameanest6314]

Natasha Brauner actually the west side of British Columbia is a rainforest , I know I live in this beautiful Province. So they were not lying, now for the thumb nails they are very artistic two beautiful bodies . So don’t hate what you don’t understand, have a wonderful day 😁

[@zacharyh6757]

@@natashabrauner8309 There is a rainforest in Canada, its just not a tropical rainforest, one area is called The Great Bear Rainforest. So while it is misleading, most people who are actually from the area don't say they "live in the rainforest", they just say they live in B.C. But these people enjoy misleading people so I get why you'd think that they meant a tropical rainforest.

[@JoeSmith-wu3yz]

Where are they living ? That's so beautiful !

[@Thewalkinggamergaming]

I’m so confused at the hate. Never do they say this is their only way of living. If I even had a weekends here I’d be in heaven. Judge yourself or stop watching. You chose your own path, let them chose theirs!?!?

[@pieterschut7438]

I fully agree with you however, there are also people with genuine concern regarding the build quality of some of their projects like the the yurt and the porch. That’s not hate, that’s criticism

[@seansurfn2]

no, its hate.. people are so trapped into their society and "norms" that anyone who goes against the grain is shunned.. but if shit hits the fan and it will they will not survive and these two will.

Much love

[@maryb1686]

Jake and Nicole. I love your adventures and admire your spirit. I have said this before however. PLEASE. not everyone who shows concern for something (about your roof) or offers advice, is a troll. It's really troubling when you lump everyone under that heading. (FYI- not a troll for simply saying that)

[@ossotaylor4660]

Its an insult to subscribers Jake referring constructive criticism as trolls ... this guy is narcissistic. I hope Nicole leaves, no place for a lady.

The metal roof is facing the wrong way,snow is going to build up on and collapse it. Because it can't slide with the ribs going side ways!

you're right, I did not notice till I saw your comment. All rain and snow must be able to drain off from an angle. Not towards the yurt...

OMG...that could cause problems!!

[@anniebanana3698]

The snow is so incredibly beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for all of the outdoor shots.

[@dgnope]

Love the videos you guys are killing it out there and everything looks like so much work. Please consider this it’s not criticism but you gotta puts sides on that wood storage or all that beautiful construction is for nothing the wood will still get wet and you will struggle all winter with wet wood, also the tin roof channels are the wrong way for snow slide Jakes going to be up on a ladder pushing snow off that roof to keep it from collapsing. Just want to see you guys thrive hope everything works out well keep it up

[@lougiudice9578]

[@kennethhopson7087]

You get a big bowl of snow and compact it. Then you add a half top of vanilla extract and a cup of sugar and half top of salt. Then you add cream to thicken it. Let it freeze for ice cream.

[@beardedgardener1107]

Such good lads listening to their momma. You’ve both done a tremendous amount of work and so well.

I am so enjoying watching your dogs explore the snow! We have an Alaskan Malamute and last year was her first snow and she loved romping thru the snow. Of course she is large - 100 lbs plus, so she sounds like a horse when she runs.

[@sheilaeagy3913]

It’s beautiful there. I live in Ohio and we get quite a lot of snow too but we are not remote and don’t have your view. I moved here from TN and miss the country and mountains so bad. Your so blessed to be able to enjoy that view everyday. I know you both work so hard and have hand built every thing we get to watch on here. How inspirational. Very few people can say they have created a home in a remote area like you two have. Everything you do is manual from washing clothes to washing dishes and hand pumping water. You are both extremely hard workers. Thank you again for sharing your amazing life.

The word that keeps coming to my mind as i watch your videos is harmony. I am taken with how beautiful it is there and how respectful you both are of each other and your beautiful life. Not a hater here :) keep the vids coming!

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

All of the "slash"/trimmings from the trees you have felled should taken to the area where you plan to garden and burned. Wood ash is a good fertilizer !

[@BillNealElkWhistle]

Jack Patteeuw - absolutely agree! Was gonna say the same thing myself. Everything you do should serve as many purposes as possible.

[@couerl]

The winter is the perfect time to do it too since there's zero risk of starting a forest fire. In the spring it will be too rainy and in the summer they will be too busy gardening and doing other stuff. I said earlier they should keep that fire pit going 24/7 outside until the place is clear. It could be many years until that forest around them is responsibly managed.

For quick heating. LASKO ceramic element. Just plug it the 12 volt. It has different temperature settings. It will heat your place up super fast. Way faster than the fire. It is good to get going until the fire builds up heat. Since you have solar. This will be a great addition. It's easy to tuck away. I've had mine for 3 years and it's still going. Absolutely safe. Not a fire hazard.

[@ladyofthemasque]

Given how quickly stoves overheat and then how quickly they cool off and let things get cold, have you considered installing a rocket mass heater of some sort, with or without a cob or soapstone bench?

Knowing where yurts come from, I had no issues with it hanging the snow, my major issue is that you two yet again put the roofing on the wrong way, you could see the snow building up think on the one you put up last video

Such a good watch that was 💙👍 Loved looking out the Yurt window wen it was snowing outside looked so cosy ... X

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

Hi guys that new roof might need a grader pitch, too flat and can get really heavy with snow accumulation!

[@danomalley2473]

Agreed. Also, shouldn't ribs go up & down slope, and not across?

[@bdlsheidler]

Absolutely loved the part where you threw the snow and your genuine smile. ♥️♥️♥️

[@robertvincent3607]

If I were living there I would have a a fan up in the ceiling to push the heat down from the ceiling because that is where most of your heat is going

[@RealKungFu]

Robert Vincent For sure! We already have the support mount for a ceiling fan that Pacific yurts gave to us… We will install it as soon as we have our solar panels, inverter, and batteries hooked up

[@lucky9lives4me]

I built pole barns after high school, normally metal roofing goes teo foot on center with a purlin which means your metal goes the other way. If you ever do have a lot of snow up there the snow will not slide off when you run it horizontal. A lot of people like your show and then you call us trolls?

[@williamnolan2950]

@barhead1966 always wondered about that... how can they pay for all the equipment they need to survive, OK i mean if they had $200,000 in the bank, its plausible, but when the money runs out , they have NO income, no trade, no skills. .

[@fredcarani6764]

@barhead1966 I thought so. He says he is going to build a log cabin. Yeah right. He'll get someone to cut all the trees and then take credit for it. Same with cleaning up the property around the yurt. He's not going to do it himself but will take credit for it too.

Your roof is on the wrong way if I’m not mistaken. Snow and water will not come off with the ripples facing that way.

[@wayneh3021]

UgH... This was discussed when they put it up... All they have to do is change the pitch of the roof an it works.... 😊👍👍

[@buteos8632]

Wayne Hawley "just" change the pitch of the roof 😆 these silly millennials are full of sht!!!

[@garrycole9187]

I believe they said they changed the pitch which will work for rain but not for snow which is okay since this snow is actually an anomaly for the area. It though will make a heck of a mess if it is pitched towards the stairs, will make that area really muddy.

[@buteos8632]

Garry Cole "ripples" he said, not pitch, go read again

Loved the drone footage. Beautiful aerial video of the snow . And watching the dogs in the snow was wonderful. Firewood got wet! Need walls and doors on the shed. That roof needs more pitch and the metal roofing rotated 90 degrees.

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Is there a reason why you put the metal roofing on that way ? Rain and snow can't run off but will build up. Or is one end higher then the other ? Be safe with the chainsaw and the ladder with wet boot's. God bless
