Husk knife. Based on such advertising, I bought a Husk knife. In fact, I bought three. I don’t use mine. I tried it and went back to my old cheap knives. I gave one away as a gift. It’s not being used. One knife is still in its box after maybe four years? My son gave me a Japanese knife for Christmas three years ago. That’s all I use now. Tell me what I’m going wrong…

Do not buy husk knives! They are garbage.

[@marinmorin]

I am a Japanese living in Japan. There is an image image that looks like it is made in Japan, but this knife is not made in Japan. As a Japanese person, I felt a sense of incongruity when I saw this knife with a design and texture that Japan does not have in the past or the future. It looks like a traditional Chinese knife, and if you search for it, it seems to be made in China. It's a pity that it's sold as if it were a traditional Japanese knife. It's sad because I like this channel...

[@amen8765]

Glad I have something to share with my family & friends. Such an interesting video to watch. Nice work! Thanks for the knife link too! I’m getting one, boy I’m excited!

[@Sajirah]

I’m insanely impressed that he planned and built this place almost entirely by himself. Especially so far from civilization. And the build itself has so much character and natural beauty. I really love it.

[@HeroAntagonist]

Total respect for that build. Gotta be transcendental at night

[@gracec3418]

Er .. hopefully 'transcendent' ✨

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

Ok, as if both builds weren’t spectacular enough, he just up and says “and here is the bathtub 🛀 “ 😱 This guy built a spectacular oasis in the middle of nowhere on top of a giant granite slab of rock!!! He is a true artist and I absolutely love this build! Cheers

[@gracec3418]

Yea - my mind was already pretty blown by the materials - the mammoth's tooth or whatever that was, and the amethyst rock crystal in the wall, the beautiful black walnut bench / sofa, the soapstone, the rinky dink little ol' stoves. "oh - and here is the Bath Tub" - - jaw just drops. This guy is huge, I absolutely love those glass sections overlooking the mountains, and what he did with the entry door was beautiful. There's just SO much. And then, "And here is the Bath Tub" - lifting a floor panel 😀🤩 . And here's the shower-head - and yep, there it is. Unreal, in the best possible way. Kudos, Mike. You're very gifted, and obviously a real grafter. Shout out to your Mother also - what a wonderful lady, to be there to see you through it all. I hope blessings abound in her life 🙏🌺

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

@@gracec3418 IKR? This guy is an artistic genius! Everything he created here was beyond beautiful! And he has such a wonderful personality! I have never seen anything like this build before and I am Tiny Home, Van Life, Alternative Home addict! I’ve seen thousands of builds and this one is hands down, no question, the best I’ve seen!!! Cheers

The shoulder of a mountain is not the middle of nowhere. It's the center of 'there".

My only question is where’s the toilet? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 everything else is just gorgeous. What a work of love.

[@alisonmassina3868]

Yes I always think that!

[@ercieberwick1513]

My only question is where's the hospital? People erect these odd ball structures giving nary a thought to the need for possible emergency medical attention!

2:59 You can see a door with a crescent moon. Those are usually on outhouse doors.

[@jamesv5343]

What an amazing and build. I'm so inspired by both tiny homes and just the overall philosophy this guy has. Absolute goals!

[@julierichens4218]

I really thought I'd seen it all when it came to Tiny homes, but this one just blew my socks off, Jenna! This isn't really a tiny home, it's just what he called it: a rock cabin! I love that it is on such a large piece of acreage, so far from population, and so absolutely natural. I grew up in a rock home, and this has solidified my desire to have one again. Thanks so much for sharing this! It was wonderful!

[@eljaysmiley]

By far the most original, natural and beautiful tiny home design and build I've seen! Absolutely love it.🤩

[@mmerriman4995]

These are remarkable structures! Mike thinks way outside the box and then changes the shape of the box. Beautiful clean lines in all of his projects. You found an extra good one, Jenna. Thanks!

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

Love how the water descends the rocks near the hot tub. So incredibly beautiful and in sync with Mother Nature. Good luck on your next project. I'm sure it'll be awesome.

[@edzeppelin]

Fricking unreal- my favorite vid from your exc channel. This guy is an incredible person- He learned all of this and took his skills to create a truly organic SENSIBLE living situation. 84 acres? NOYCE! By the time he wrapped it up by showing us his SKI LIFT! I was blown away. Very few people have what it takes to put something like this together. Truly inspiring. Kudos to you sir.

[@valerieann2751]

Wow, it’s a masterpiece! Incredible house. I can imagine it in the winter with lots of cozy pillows, blankets, the fire, etc. Heaven . Even the shower design is awesome

[@natsomething0]

Some people can accomplish so much with their time. And some of us just struggle to keep up with the day-to-day. It's amazing how varied our life experiences can be.

[@NicNac081909]

This is by far my favorite tiny home build. This is absolutely breathtaking. The home, the property and the hard work that was put in to everything.

I swear the whole time I watched this video I thought of the Flinstones. Nicely done, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

[@noemisolano4748]

He said "I feel very rich, I have clean water, no one is bothering me and I feel safe. Now that's a stress feel life!! The life I am now looking for as I get older, no one bothering me, feeling safe and no more toxic work environment. Nice home he built. What an oasis he built, he will live a long happy life!

[@chezmoi42]

What a magical house he's created, with such an amazing mix of beauty, ingenuity, whimsy, and practicality. I hope we'll be visiting his family home in seven years or so?

Fascinating. I bet the stars are mind blowing. I’d lose my mind with no place comfortable and soft to lounge.

[@bevtrue6937]

You could easily bring in a cushion(s).

[@bevtrue6937]

I have seen this place at Tahoe several times now and each time it changes sooo much. It is fantastic. Is the tiny house mobile? Neither the tiny house nor the ski lift were there last time, nor the gf and kids. Sooo amazing.

[@annwithaplan9766]

He said he chases the snow with the tiny home, but at the moment is/was for air/bnb. Don't know why people call them that because in a b&b you're provided with the bed AND the breakfast by the establishment.

[@bevtrue6937]

@@annwithaplan9766 They call it B & B because you get bed and breakfast...both. Makes total sense. They usually leave food for you to eat while you are there. Pastries or etc.

How long ago were you there? I think that lift has been there for about 10 years
