Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, bees, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

You two look wonderful. I look forward to seeing how the trees you planted are doing this spring. I am also excited to see your home someday, the new one that you plan with passive solar green house. I enjoy your videos & thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

I LOVE your new metal tarp! The tool rack is AWESOME! I love the idea of the short pallet for the tools! Thank you!

[@cekfraun]

This building is a great addition to your homestead. It was enjoyable watching it go up in super fast time lapse!

[@trudyschaffer8016]

I love your honest, comprehensive reviews of projects. It’s realistic and holds companies to what one would except when you invest in a building such as this. 👍

[@annalinekennedy1027]

Very tidy and organized.

[@velvetreynolds5458]

So happy for you 💓 💗 ❤️ 💛 💖 💕

[@dorisharrison9885]

Great job!! 😊💜

[@user-gq7bi1lq9u]

Love the racks for all the tools - so tidy and well-organized! And even the side of the metal tarp that you said was the most disorganized looked pretty neat to me. It’s clear how thoughtful you and Clay are about keeping your gear working well and safe from the elements. Bravo!

[@istepheniadeluca8531]

❤nice 👌 bldg - time to fill it up 😉 💪 🇺🇸 great organizer

[@sgrvtl7183]

[@falusitablet8747]

Love seeing your property develop.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

the clean up crew...lol

[@lscostello4995]

What a great idea…a Metal Tarp! Terrific storage by a company you could work well with! So well thought out for the equipment and many other things that need storage with protection and convenient to use. Was neat to see the build! Thank you Clay and Ariel😊

[@libbysmith8141]

I always enjoy watching your videos and I'm so happy for you both. 🌿🙏☺️

[@alladreamwedreamed]

I love how carefully you share all the important details of every project.

[@MomCat6000]

This was so much fun to watch come together! I look forward to more of these “catch-up” videos of what you and Clay have been doing over the past few months. Congratulations of the quack grass removal strategy with the black tarp and summer sun!

[@Legend0222]

This is super cool, thanks for sharing this with us!

[@lindajames4122]

You and Clay have great skills. Everything looks so nicely organized. Thanks for sharing this build. I found it very interesting. I am looking forward to your new home build,

[@sophieb8666]

Amazing how quick it got filled up

[@winniekortemeier5341]

in the south, we call this a shed.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

I was going to leave you a comment to see how you were and wish you Happy New Year! But Ifigured you were probably just busy.

[@GINZO4849]

I haven't watched much in years and am so impressed with your efforts and happy for you and your man!

[@GraceGrantedBeliever]

Great video, love seeing your progress. Can't wait to see when you start building your house when it happens. So glad to see Burley is doing so well considering how badly he was hurt.❤🙏💖 God bless you!

[@ginnysulya9805]

Thanks Ariel, your last comment about the tiny house put the whole thing into perspective! 😉 great build!

[@littlehomeinthevalley]

So exciting! We're finally heading to our 10 acres in Bear Lake Valley and gonna set up camp in our Fifth Wheel off grid. This project you showed us is one of our plans for this spring/ summer, so I REALLY appreciate this review, Ariel!

[@NWforager]

Clay is super skilled . looks like he had an eye on the whole erecting of the building this time .

[@phyllisbrostrom7348]

That's a great addition to the homestead. Know you will be getting great usage out of it. Great job on 5he tool racks Clay. Always so much better to be organized makes life much easier 😊

[@skytechbits]

Super nice building. Enjoy all the benefits.

[@carolluther1625]

Nice metal tarp Ariel! That is a great addition to your property!

[@aldredske6197]

Hi guys!!😀😀 Pretty nice setup!! I'm sure you will enjoy it for pretty much ever. It was definitely needed. Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

[@sylviajones4907]

Great addition to your property.

[@klazyy641]

Now that is a practical and efficient equipment shed! Well constructed, braced (those huge metal 'land screws' really get used a lot up in Canada in the outback from what I've seen), and quite obviously fulfill a need on your place. Good placement---I am assuming the back wall is facing West (???) and the cats have got to love patrolling all the nooks and crannies for wayward meeces.

[@ericstoever9577]

So glad to see both of you working well together. Clay may even get used to being in a video at some point! Be well, stay safe, and god bless!

[@MsRybak1]

That’s a really nice useful building. It will be beneficial to you for years.

[@JuliaRus460]

Really a good video. I enjoyed it and hello from Knoxville Tennessee, Tennessee. We’re going down to 6° tonight.

[@jewelssylva3738]

❤

[@lindaleal809]

Love to see your projects and imagine the house build will be the most interesting. I can imagine the conversations my parents had when they moved onto their homestead and the planning and pride of ownership they felt as they improved their property. Always wanting the best for you, Ariel and Clay.

[@sunline24]

The two of you 'res property is really taking shape.

[@dawncierelli1510]

beautiful just beautiful goodforyou guys

[@mobile_noble4026]

Looks awesome. Great to see a homestead coming to life.

[@hebs22]

A very interesting video. How well you have planned your property. Look forward to the next one.

[@JEMCochran49]

Very nice. Glad you put this out while you got it.

[@Diligent-dp7gi]

Love your Videos & admire your 'CAN DO & GET IT DONE' spirit & practical approach. : )

[@dragonflyneb8212]

That will be so nice. Beautiful

[@serenagomez3864]

What a good idea!!

[@suepeterson5675]

Very nice tarp !👍👍

[@margaretpollard2179]

Very nice! Enjoy!

[@baykittygirls9520]

Looking good!

[@michaelhorton6166]

I wonder if one of those metal quonset hut kits would be better in the long run?

[@elizabethsolomon2864]

Did I spot a Subaru Outback in your new tent? How do you like it?

[@monikacarless_wordwitch]

Do you think you'll plant any trees between the house and the shop to add some green?

[@chrismcpherson1204]

My parents has 1 of these here in Pennsylvania They yet to have any problems the one side of their's is for 2 horse's to get shelter from rain and snow. Of course they also have a barn.❤

[@lindaleal809]

Just a question as an afterthought, my Dad saved used motor oil to use on tools to prevent rust. A light coating of this very dark oil covered all his tools! Was that a good practice? The oil was grimy. Also, do you have a grinder to sharpen blades and things? Again, Dad, from a different generation had a pedal grinder with a seat and a second grinder that was larger and seemed more substantial in my child's eyes. Many times I would sit on the pedal grinder and "polish" rocks! Doubt if I was successful but still entertained. Thanks for your great videos that really make me smile and encourage me to embrace my rural past. Hugs to Burley, just the best.

[@mrparlanejxtra]

Barn.

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Love the metal tarp! could you tell me how big your chicken and duck runs are??
