I love the wood frame. 6 years ago 5k, today after COVID, most likely double, esp here in Hawaii. I like this a LOT❤ I'm in a canvas tent and need to do this for Hurricane esp.

[@stevilynntom]

I have never thought about doing a house like this. So amazing. It's super dreamy.

[@matthill1294]

I think a good idea would be to have multiple tents. One for sleeping, for for kitchen/laundry, and one for the restroom

[@LivingEmpoweredToday]

That's what I do here in Hawaii. Sleeping tent, kitchen/hang out, bathroom. Makes life cleaner in the tent.

[@TC-yx1qt]

You didn't mention the land? How big is your lot and how much was it? Permits and restrictions you had to deal with?

I love this so much ive lived in my bell tent for over a year and couldn't be happier best thing ive ever done in my life

[@celinelindberg3641]

I really love this idea! I am considering moving to a tent home, i just have a few questions. What exactly did you use to build the house and what kind of tent material did you use? I don’t think im the only one who’s wondering, maybe if you could make a video about it, it would help a lot of us! thank you for sharing your tiny house tour with us!

[@CoCo-yv3hl]

Did you ever do it ? I’m considering now planning for 2024 ❤

[@reyk2736]

My husband and I just watched this together and think it’s awesome! Hope you post more content.

[@rewildbody5261]

I really loved this video. So natural and so easily delivered. I’m in the middle of a PhD on the subject of ‘human rewilding’ … a philosophical story about human movement in nature. Your story inspired me because one of the things I would like to do is live through the seasons during the writing process. Your set up is way more than I would need but I wondered if you would be open to having a conversation with me?

[@shannonaguilar920]

You are such a cool dude! Plus, you remind me of Thor...😊 Thanks so much for sharing--you guys, and your way of life are highly inspirational!!!

[@sct3339]

Great job!!

Gorgeous set up

[@patriciawalker7190]

Absolutely beautiful! You have good taste and a beautiful family too. Love, love the decorating, did I say I love the interior decorating?!! Hope everything is going well, with all the recent fires I pray you are safe.

[@SkylerBeau]

Love it!! I would live there in a heart beat! Love hearing that you were homeschooled, my husband was homeschooled too and I currently homeschool our two girls! We wanted to do what you did after we sold our house this last summer, but we were having a hard time finding a piece of land up here in Fort Collins, CO. Not giving up on the idea yet, just really need the land! Love watching you guys, always SO inspiring!

[@denforourcubs2019]

Stephanie Sorensen you guys will find something in good time! Excited to see what happens!

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

I'm in the same boat in TN. I just need land!

​@@denforourcubs2019by the way, I also am homeschooled, and I'm curious about how things are going now?

Found you and your family throught the Farm + Lands book, Back To The Land! Love to see this

[@jorgen5501]

So awesome! Where did you guys get your canvas?

[@haruruben]

1:54 cool, except for the two inverted crosses above the front entrance. That’s bad juju

[@sct3339]

Yep, that’s the first thing. I noticed it was upside down crosses just wow I guess you’re looking for bad things to happen

[@Sara-kb4lb]

Hey! Nice to see your video, we're doing a similar setup on the east coast. Preparing for winter at the moment. Glad to finally have a tour! Very inspiring.

[@denforourcubs2019]

[@addisonduhaime9361]

this is great! How did you seal the front of the tent at the top and sides?

[@sjr7822]

I really would have liked to have followed the steps in setting this up

[@themythicmom]

We have five kids, but we want this life sooo bad. I grew up on a farm and spent all spring and summer planting and harvesting for our stand. My husband grew up in rural Philippines. But our kids don't have any out door space. I'm thinking this would work if we joined two of them... you guys are awesome! It's beautiful!

[@broganpilkington115]

Hey @denforourcubs! Many of us here are incredibly moved by what you and your family have created and would love to do something similar. I noticed you’ve replied to a few people here but have not mentioned the brand of tent you used. I scrolled through all the comments, and yikes, a couple were not very supportive/ positive. But most of us love what you envisioned and created for your family. Would you please share with us the tent company you used? I’m starting to look into a custom tent, but am worried I’ll get in over my head with the quotes. Pleased we would love your advice. Best wishes from Nashville.

[@jessicagallant8303]

I'd love to know the tent too

[@jessicagallant8303]

I'd love to know the tent too

[@LBSC10]

Me too! We are building a frame for a tent but trying to decide what brand of canvas tent to go with!

[@rebeccaa7019]

What company did you purchase the tent from? You've created a beautiful home!

[@lizcedillo4602]

Question When taking used wood (ex: the barn wood), does it still need to be treated to avoid bugs, rottening, termites? I love what yall have done with the wood. It's beautiful. The home and location is so dreamy. I want to do something similar when I got my property. I know how to make it last. Thanks for your video! and jokes. Haha Also, any specifics on the brand of the tent. It appears you just attached a second layer as a rain fly but in a larger scale. Thanks again!😁🏕

[@justsaying2]

Love your home, just a quick question, how hard is it to install composting toilet and shower, and what do you need (tools, supplies) to do it? Thanks so much. Really do love it.

[@juliadreads]

Your home is wonderful

Do you have a video on how you built those French doors into the front ?

[@BlueGrassBound.]

Thanks for the tour! It's fun seeing how others do the small space living thing. It's crazy I just searched you in KZbin earlier this week. So happy to start watching from the beginning! 💙

[@denforourcubs2019]

BlueGrassBound awesome! well welcome aboard the party train! Thanks for the support

[@BlueGrassBound.]

Den For Our Cubs Thanks. I'm also loving your Instagram. You have a beautiful family and a great eye for photos.

[@denforourcubs2019]

BlueGrassBound thank you, I’ve definitely found that I really enjoy taking photos through all this. Never really bothered picking up a camera before I had this reason to document!

[@markmcla]

Looks really nice! And it looks like you have a happy family, which is most important. Good for you! -Just out of curiosity, but why do you have a canvas roof instead of a normal roof?

[@TheWhimsicalFamilyHomestead]

where did you buy the canvas and rain cover?

Water container in Kitchen? Berkeley was what I caught as the name. Could you please tell me more about this? Thank you. Love all the barn wood??

[@amandadudley4905]

It’s a Berkey ut I believe they recently changed the company’s name to Boroux.

[@yamahchopper]

I'm thinking of doing a tiny house like this doing a 16×30 Davis tent

[@BanandaAmanda]

I am building something similar for my son and I on land in Hawaii. I also got a 16x20 tent however your tent looks taller. Did you raise it and add sheeting on the sides?

[@tamigarrett3513]

Watched you guys on the tiny house channel and you make this look like so much fun. Wish I could do this. Your family is gorgeous and those little boys are just the cutest little guys I’ve ever seen. What was the inspiration for the kids names? Very unique and seems to fit them quite well.

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Since you have water, do you plan to plumb the sinks, and shower?

[@Tiger74147]

I come from the south with long, hot and humid summers, and I wonder about these structures in the heat. Even having lived up north, heating feels much easier to manage than cooling. Anyone got tips for this? I guess you could even put in a minisplit if you wanted to and had the power, but even if so, insulation may still be an issue.

[@justfantastic444]

I love it ….. so pretty an functional!! You guys ROCK !! YESSSS u INSPIRED ME So MUCH. How did you get the LOT and was it any State codes or specifics to do this? Thank You

[@Blackgirluniverse1]

I so love this

[@winstonwhiteside9525]

Who owns the land that the tent is on? I'd love to put up a tent/tiny house, but you can't just put it up anywhere you want. Does he have to pay any kind of taxes on the land?

[@BarKrs]

Hi! was wondering where you got the tent? we are a big family living in a tiny home, a portable to be exact lol we homeschool, and are looking for extra space without braking the bank, and non traditional ways I saw your video on youtube via another channel. and was just in love =) any ways Thanks so much!!!!

[@Christopher_P321]

Very inspirational. Congrats on all the hard work. I totally understand the $1600 a month rent as CA is similar to NYC. Getting older, I’ve been leaning towards doing something similar...Cost effective, small, happy, sustainable living. Was the cost of land a huge expense? Going from CA to NM, what do you do for work and do you notice you have more time for freedom, nature, & kids since you’re not so tied down to huge rent and expenses? Thanks!

[@HotSauseCandy]

You're home is amazing. I'm glad I found your family on a Tiny Homes episode. What advice do you have for people thinking about moving into a tent?

[@raylopez5008]

Truly remarkable how can I build one for myself when where to start looking any information would be great since I do consider myself relocating to New Mexico as well

[@Keaton-Casablanca]

Looks great. Where did you buy your tent?

[@pablozote]

Man, I´ve watched the video of your house in Living Big in a Tiny House channel a dozen times.. really love the project you and your wife have put for your childrens.. I have two children too of about same age difference as yours but younger, and the idea of going to nature is growing inside me every day. I have just one question about the house if I may, do the walls are just plywood panels? or do you have some sort of exterior wall + insulation and the plywood is just the visible layer? Thanks man and take care that beautiful family you have, cheers.

[@heatherwalker4864]

Love the tour!!! What do you all do for showers and washing clothes?

[@denforourcubs2019]

Heather Walker thank you! We outsource showers for now, Katie’s mom is gone most of the day so we head over then to give the little guys baths. I(Zac) still prefer the hose method🤓

[@denforourcubs2019]

Heather Walker washing clothes at her house currently as well. We Talked about doing them in a bucket and hang drying, but why complicate things when there’s an empty washer close by!

[@heatherwalker4864]

Den For Our Cubs That makes total sense. I have been curious about a foot-powered washer I’ve seen online before. It looks interesting!

[@denforourcubs2019]

Heather Walker I know a couple people on insta that used those and really liked them!

[@bridiemacdonald9436]

Amazing!!!

[@janonthemtn]

What if a tree falls on the tent roof? Are you planning to put a wooden roof on???

[@joanstead]

Do you have a video showing how you built this?

[@marbarosi]

Love love love love love love love! so many questions. Biggest if land, how did you go about looking for land for this and is it a diffcult process or costly? How far are you from the city? How cold does it get during the colder seasons.

[@debbieassad8634]

Do you ever have condensation problems? We are wanting to move into a tent home but was wondering if condensation would be a problem, ruin our furniture?

[@robinr5337]

That's what's great about NM, very low humidity for most of the year. Things stay very dry.

What are the dimensions of the tent and the wooden frame? Looking into building a tiny home, just not sure of how big of a tent to get.

[@moe8387]

I was also wondering the size

[@HartandCol]

Great tour, and the place looks great, guessing wood stove for heat? Or did I totally miss u talking about that part

[@denforourcubs2019]

Hart & Col didn’t get to that! I’ll definitely be talking about that more during the winter months and what it’s like, but we’re running a large propane heater. Worked great last year!

[@kf6rcp]

What do you call those pipe fittings you used on the stairs to the loft and table stand

[@denforourcubs2019]
