Woman Builds £1000 Tiny Earthen Home To Live Close To Nature In Welsh Woods

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2020
- This weeks episode takes us to the wild woods of Wales, where a remarkable woman has chosen to live close to nature in a £1000 tiny earthen home, with no running water, electricity, or internet.
To many of us, this may seem like an extreme lifestyle choice, but for Emma, this way of life is all about building a closer relationship to nature while also creating a lifestyle where she is free of the pressures of the modern world. Her simple home is beautiful, cosy and warm. Water is collected from a spring fed stream which runs by her house, and at night, candles and a fire light her home.
Emma’s story is a wonderful reminder of just how little we actually need in life, and perhaps also a reminder of how much of ourselves that we need to sacrifice in order to obtain the things we do have. I hope you enjoy her story and the video tour of her very special, very simple home.

For sure!!! (what Hannah said)
my dream of living a simple life and world/home😍 Thank YoÜ Emma for sharing Ür beautiful faerie home and to Bryce & Rasa, once again, quite inspiring❣ xx
Wow Bryce, I've no idea how you found Emma to show us her home but thank you for doing so
How did you even find her? Thanks for sharing a small part of her life story with us.
It's so sad that this lady would be seen as 'whacky' or 'crazy' when actually she is the most sane out of all of us! This is how humans survived for thousands of years. I truly admire and respect this lady - she is wonderful.
Hello, how are you. I hope you are staying safe and also having a nice weather today. I'm Thomas. I live in Virginia, USA. Nice to meet you.
God bless you 🙏
Agree 100%!
The most sane? This automatic assumption seems to be a popular one. I think a more balanced approach to the the situation could have a spot.
I am not so sure showing this video will be beneficial to this woman.
She's like this character in a story that the village kids were warned not to approach because she's crazy, and then she turns out to be absolutely real and wonderful. :D
Exactly.. remember Road to Avonlea?
parthesky yes
that's just her human form
Alina Ionescu 🧡🧡🧡
...in a crazy kinda way....
This is the sanest lady in the whole entire world. We need more of her.
she's also a practicing witch.
So? Also, define a witch. @@genieboots4269
Most indigenous communities of the Earth lives like this though 😂
When I was suffering from depression, watching her video helped me. I long for the days when I can start living like her.
Ive just quit my business got 2 weeks left doing work for my clients I'm selling or giving away everything and praying that I manage to get by and get to where I want to be living which is in this way. I have struggled with insomnia for a year now and feel I've reached bottom so pushing on to get through the next few weeks relying on friends to give me shelter until I make the transition. I live in an already beautiful place in England Kingsbridge which I love but I need to change and stop with the fake ness of being a businessman...
@@SpaceHopper777 May you get through the difficult time and I hope after the transition period you can start sleeping well.
@@dr.monikakeisham8304 thank you I have some new meds, not the path I wanted to take but I’m gonna give it a shot and hopefully I will see some improvements 🙏
@@SpaceHopper777 I wish you all the best!
@@SpaceHopper777 google online how to get better sleep and then follow that guide. Medication is not the answer, especially with the side effects.
She really got me when explaining that, to make her tea the "easy way" requires spending a lot of time at a job to pay for gas so which way is truly more time consuming in the end? She is very wise.
I try to live like her..🙈🙈
shes literally talking about kindness to the nature.. what about burning woods daily.. how many tree she would have burn so far..
Alicia omie : She burns branches that fall down
@@aliciaomie2686 Even if she does occasionally get a tree down for fire, do you have any idea what her carbon footprint is compared to an average city dweller? Probably at least 25 times less if not a hundred.
@@aliciaomie2686 We have burned wood for heat for 45 years and seldom have taken down a live tree. There is always a renewable supply.
We clean up dead wood, fallen branches, and in our younger days people would call us to clean up a fallen tree in exchange for the wood.
I love how she says thank you to everything he comments on, most people don’t do that and I think it is proof of how she really listens to him - such a soft spoken and considerate person.
thank you
Well mannered too
What’s sad is that no one appreciates ppl like this Nd so they change into assholes who never say thank you.
Lucy Phillips she is full of gratitude 🙏
Not enough people use the words thank you.
you can tell she’s really a bright woman, sane and happy with what she has. her life sounds so clear and serene, i admire her!
Emma is clear headed, true to her self and humble to the elements of nature. She trusts in nature and she is willing to let mother earth show her how to be a part of the eco system and not diveded from it. Emma shows us how you get to know yourself in the rain,sunshine,wind and in moon and starlight. She gives me hope and inspiration!
Beautifully put! Emma really is an inspiration.
whats the name of her youtube channel please?
She does not have a You Tube channel. She lives without internet and electricity. You can just find reports from her via different journalists and people that has visited her where she lives.@@SilrInspire
The fact that pushing 4 million people have watched this video in a little over 18 months, must mean that I am one of many who are just fed up with the rat race, we now call everyday life. I so admire this woman who had the nerve to go out and follow her heart and find a better way!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I think many of us are sick of showing loyalties to corporations who will replace us in seconds during a pandemic or financial crisis. Lost of us don’t even want to work a 9-5 job. We demand more work and life balance more than ever. What kind of hours is 9-5 anyways or 8-5. No wants to work 40 hours a week anymore and if there’s over time, we are taxed even more, then our social security is taxed, our land is taxed, buying a house is taxed, selling a house is taxed. Everything is taxed, honestly we never really own anything besides our time. Time is more valuable than anything.
O_o The job market is crazy too. All these temp to perm positions or contract positions. Even the companies these days want to cancel or freeze job opening or the ones in place of the hiring process can’t even provide follow through or feedback.
Then there jobs where a supervisor who is so out of tune with their whole team gets a say when an employee becomes test level and if a supervisor doesn’t know you than you never become recommended to take the test to make more money and then these plants/warehouses want to put their own workers in a point system.. again no life balance. I’d rather work 10-2:30, skip all the breaks and lunches and not eat on a companies time especially when they are just going to not pay you to take the lunch. Lol! And it’s not even rewarding when you don’t have the time to go eat a restaurant to enjoy an actual lunch. All lunches come in a bag or plastic wrapper . .. it’s disappointing to say the least bc the. The lunch you get is only 30 mins long. So now we are working for a company who neither can provide a convenient lunch area where many of us spend 10 mins walking and using the restroom or just to go outside before lunch and then force feed food down our throats for 12 minutes just to spend the remainder time getting back to the workstation within the plant. I know I’m over it. I’m over learning new jobs just to be fired at will or replaced when I reach top out pay or replaced with a temporary hire. Why work for the USA when the USA CANT IMPLEMENT something to help workers safe to work? Everyday check is save saved just incase we are fired next month. That’s no way to live. Too much anxiety and fear.
I agree, Sandra....🙂🌻🙂
@@amandawhitis8788 Smart Lady, may you be Happy and Content....🌿💜☮️💜🌿
😫😫😫😫😫
You spoke my mind. Thx.
Literally everything she says makes sense to me. Too many people chase this blueprint of success and don't even question it. No wonder so many people are unhappy and stressed. It's a shame. We really don't need it all to have it all.
True!
Yes, many people don't realise that there is no need to take all that and that it's actually us who have the power to change it!
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾
I think more people than you think would love simplicity in living. The lady in the clip owns her own land and built the home on that.
Not everyone has the money to purchase land and so they're faced with either renting or getting a mortgage - so they not only tie themselves to the evil of interest attached to a loan but also that of a loan for a big chunk of their lives.
Our leaders have in effect made our lives difficult with the housing situation.
It is either rent for life or save up and go abroad somewhere cheap where your savings can buy you a home. That is better in terms of not adding to ones stress.
But I do agree with you on the 'success' blueprint people follow, many not even realising it is not needed. University (huge debt), home (huge debt), car (huge debt), gadgets (more debt). Most people think they are independent but are unwittingly trapped in credit and enslaved to others.
Me to
Love hearing that Wales started an initiative for low impact, natural housing. That's very encouraging, especially knowing that Wales is a country rich in fairytales and magical folks dwelling in quaint cottages. Clearly we're all reaching back to our past when life was, not necessarily simpler in terms of housing ( palaces and castles and all that have existed throughout known history), but when people built for themselves in ways that were more suitable for their needs and the environment. This is what the world needs in order to heal.
Wondering about taxes there?? Taxation on land means you'll NEVER own it.
Instead of stressful environment in the town, she lives relaxed and peaceful life. No money can buy it, it is something we must do ourselves, for ourselves. So glad I have watched this video! Congrats to Emma!
everyone’s commenting on how sweet and gentle Emma is (which i absolutely agree with) but can i just say that Bryce is literally my favourite interviewer of all time. In every single video I’ve watched, he’s also SO nice and polite, and he always finds very meaningful and genuine words to compliment the home owners and asks the best questions. Thank you for the work you do! 💗
He is excellent for sure!
I 100% agree with you.
Just came to this channel but already watched all of the videos here.
I can say that Bryce makes it perfect.
Great job.
@@chaimjames2936 yeah I'm binge watching these in quarantine
True. He’s always been pleasant with the home owners.
I agree. He was amazing. Couldn't have been a better interviewer. Infact he made it but even feel it was one. Wonderful man
“Moonlight is important for us as well as sunlight.” I’d never thought about that before but I believe she’s right. We’re robbed of it in these streetlit towns and cities.
so true, light pollution sucks so much 😣
I agree that light pollution sucks, but the light from the moon, is just light from the sun reflecting off the moon, so its just sunlight either way
Moonlight IS sunlight. The moon is a rock. It just reflects the suns rays
But sun and the moon gives good energy.
@@SomewhataMystery Yeah, the energy is called light...literally powers EVERYTHING.
This Reminds me of growing up in the country in Jamaica with my great grand parents. They choose not to have electricity and use kerosene lamps instead. It was so peaceful; we use to listen to AM radio, Jazz and classical music was my favorite when it would rain outside. Carrying water from the spring, feeding the animals and farming with them is one of my favorite memories. Ik this lady loves her life as simple as it is its the best.❤❤
Like my grandparents too, they lived in the hills in Jamaica, they had a long drop toilet. They only got electricity when my grandad got ill and my aunt insisted they get it as the work was getting too much for them. Alas they are dead now and are buried on their land.
I have a very hard time wrapping my mind around the idea of living like this full time, maybe for a weekend, a week or even a month but for years! Especially if it's cold and wet in the winter. I very much admire that she has reached that place in her life. I also admire the fact that she let you in her life reality so graciously and the reverence that you expressed through your remarks. I will never forget this woman. Her comments made so much sense. Excellent video 🙏
I agree. Perhaps for a month or so, but I think after that I would go insane. And I am someone who basically thinks of myself as an introvert. Well maybe a social introvert. I’m sure she finds ways to amuse herself during the day but I think too much time alone like that isn’t really normal . I would at least have to have a pet so I wouldn’t feel like I was exactly alone.
@@sunnydaze2359 she has goats
You don't have to go to the extremes she has to get in the same space she's in...
they mention a village a few times, i think she lives with others. plus it sounds like she often has visitors too
@@lipotrimloser what do we type to search for her? And also can you tell me how does she support herself financially?
“I don’t want people to mortgage away their lives, I want them to be free” never were there truer words spoken!
Grey Line I wish that can be reality. It is very difficult choice.
Bit different when you already own the land you want to do this on.. they had the money.. lucky them..
So wise so nice. She reminds me a witch (in a good way) she is just beautiful and gifted in many things thanks for sharing
Being free is our birthright
Lol here in philipines many people live like that way no hav any but they happy
Imagine growing up having a grandmother like her.
Incredibly cool.
Im a grandma living very similar to her. My grandkids think im crazy. Oh well.
@@moniquedelatour as they get smarter you will seem wiser. 😏 This is an amazing way to be.
My grandmother used a treadle sewing machine to make clothing, sheets & pillow cases- just about everything. She would pick her cotton & cord it by hand & make quilt after quilt. Patchwork quilts from worn out items. She made soap in a big iron pot on an open fire outside.This soap was used for all needs. Toothbrushes were made out of twigs & baking soda was toothpaste. She cooked everything from scratch & OMG she could cook! And of course she canned. She was 70 yrs older than me, I was the last child to live with her. I was with her for 2 years. Those times & her ways. I have drawn on those days all my life. We are so spoiled these days.
@@moniquedelatour Bless you
@@moniquedelatourYes. One person's crazy is another's sanity.
This lady is right on target for how we humans need to live. She gives inspiration and hope to many who are looking for a way to live a better, simpler life.
I AM LIKE A HOMING PIGEON TO THIS VIDEO. I RETURN VERY REGULARLY TO LISTEN TO EMMA ORBACH AND TO WATCH THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE CLIP TO REMIND MYSELF OF THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSTANTLY SYNCHRONIZING OR RESETTING WITH THE NATURAL WORLD. I AM, LIKE MOST, CAUGHT IN THE CONSTANT STRUGGLE OF SCALING A LIFE I DID NOT WANT OR ASK FOR BUT SOMEHOW GOT CAUGHT IN. THIS VIDEO SENDS ME BACK HOME TO MY ORIGINAL NATURE. 🙏
Me, too. Thanks.
I had a really rough upbringing, but some relatives had a small hut in the desolate woods, without running water and outdoors toilet, and I managed to be there quite a lot. Was like medicine, probably saved my life. Found meaning where there was none at the time. This video resonated with me.
So glad you were able to have a safe haven, a sanctuary of sorts! Hope your life today is :" spinning in greased grooves." (Steinbeck) You " hold fast" now, OK....... ( 1Thessalonians 5:21) And may you have peace within yourself...
Same here
It sounds as if you found peace in nature, the kind of healing that you needed; wishing you health and happiness.🙂🌹🎄🕊
Why didn't you go to the happy woods instead? If I were unhappy already, I wouldn't like to go somewhere desolate and make it worse.
¿ Me creerías si te cuento que viví mi infancia en una casita sin electricidad y sin agua potable?
I love that she said "there was a time when I was very poor" because even though she doesn't work a 9-5 job and probably has very little to no money, she is rich because she lives a life which is on her own terms and makes her happy and fulfilled.
Yes
Excellent observation.
You're right
Amen to that. That has to be fulfilling.
She has help
A beautiful woman of the forest.... living breathing Hedge Witch! Love her ...her amazing house! Thank you for sharing Emma and her wisdom with the world!
Beautiful. It’s so generous of her to share her life with us like this. What an inspirational and beautiful human being she is ❤️
It’s really significant to me that there is an emphasis on the hut being functionally camouflaged so as not to detract from the real crowning glory; which is the surrounding natural environment itself. No pretentious “look at me” factor here. She doesn’t care what other people think, yet she is gracious and polite in receiving compliments. I think she is modest, honest and unafraid of trials. I admire her. Thank you for this video!
You see.
Drazic Milosovic, wholeheartedly agree. (And you said it more succinctly than I!)
I agree, and you said it so well.
Gabrielle E thank you 😊
Donna Miller thank you 😊
"I think we just want to be happy. And the earth wants us to be happy."
Such wise and true words, they brought me to tears.
No its not the earth...but the creator of this earth, the God in the bible...wants us to be happy,..bcoz...in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...and the earth was paradise. (GEN 1:1) The porpose we are here is to unite with God....and thats the real happiness. (Rev. 21:3-4)
@@cocofamily1786 the sun is the only thing worth praising. Without the sun nothing would survive, but without a "man" in the sky... i couldnt say the same
yes, but too bad there are bad seeds out there.. imagine you living in the woods and some certain trash people are also coming who ruins the place with their negativity
@@cameron4994 no, it's not true...bcoz, the reason you are alive is worth praising...and give credit to the creator who give you life....and the sun is one his creation.
@@cocofamily1786 okay I think I'll politely agree to disagree and leave you to it 👍
That’s the original tiny house living . U r ready for what’s coming lady ! Bravo!
She is an amazing, wild and earth based witch. Everything about she and her home are amazing. ❤️
"the madness we call it. We don't call it reality, cuz it isn't real." Most people will never know just how much truth there is in this statement.
🙏
I had to quote her when she said that, perfectly said
👍👍👍👍
Yes! And people think these 'hippy' type characters are lost. If only they knew or should I say cared to know.
a comic i am reading is called shade the changing man where there is a madness vest which brings chaos to earth lol
"In terms of time and motion, who's to say which takes longer?" (gathering twigs to make a fire or working to pay for you electric bill?) Wise woman.
I love her energy. There are so many quotables in this video! What a beautiful soul.
I absolutely LOVE this woman's outlook, her place she has created and her whole earthy witchy vibe❤❤❤
She is so inspiring and intelligent ❤❤❤
I feel like this woman is an archetype that we are desperately missing and craving, in our society and even in our stories - the closest thing we have is the word 'crone' and yet that word (sadly and mistakenly) comes with negative connotations. But this woman is incredibly strong - her power is not derived from men or money or society but flows from her knowledge and will and connection to the earth, she is who I aspire to become. She has risen above so much that holds us down to find her own true and genuine joy, and she is beholden to no one. What an inspiration. She is a warrior of peace, and I think this deserves so much more glory than what we are currently ascribing value towards as a world.
Beautifully said
Agree. I don't think I could do what she does, but she is amazing and her house is so warm and cozy and feels loving inside.
Crone means crowned one. So yes, sad it comes with negative connotations.
In my circles, a Crone is quite a compliment!
Respect! The house is 20 years old but shows no sign of age..it simply blooms and radiates pure life. May she live happily in her magnificient home for years an years to come.
I'm pretty sure she said she's been living there meaning in the woods, for twenty years. She did say her first house fell apart eventually and built a few before finding out what works best.
Excuse me,,miss Úrsula,but that lady is an old person,'cause of that,she won't
live many years.
@@pedrocuervobarrera7985 bet you're fun at parties
It’s very hard ! I can’t imagine how smelly we are in the wild without water, soaps and who will guarantee her security??
Pedro Cuervo, it’s not necessarily age it’s fitness, if she wants to do that it’s up to her, 60 isn’t old these days, there’s people climbing fells and backpacking round the world and running marathons at that age. It’s positive mental attitude, and genetics, (agreed some people do age earlier than others)my friend is 68 and is still working and looking after other people and there lives and welfare’s. I’m only 3 years off, I better get playing bingo, wearing crymplene and having a 9 o’clock curfew at night, lights out - life’s over!
I so admire this woman, it looks enchanting but I can only imagine the physical work and everything that she lives with. It's incredible, she is truly amazing.
So beautiful, lowered my blood pressure too just watching. Then I thought about the cost of even a tiny piece of land where I live, that would not include water access. I will just be happy for her:)
What an incredibly wise woman.
She has so much to teach us all.
Lovely home and lifestyle. 🌿🕊️💕
I hope she writes about her lovely life in close touch with nature.
hiii
I think its very important that these people still exist, its like the last honest connection humanity has to mother earth
Honestly this place is one of my favourite places to visit. As soon as the pandemic's over, I'm gonna head back.
"these people"..who land owners who inherited their wealth? They exist all over the world unfortunately...
lol calm down it's a small bit of relatively poor quality land in Pembrokeshire and it wasn't inherited either. Plus, the land supports a really lovely commune too, which is nice.
I mean indigenous people have literally been living in deep connection with nature and still would if it weren't for colonialism but go off I guess.
@@nomadempire2048 exactly. I laughed when I read the original comment.....what do westerners think indigenous people have been doing since TMH created them
This woman is amazing, a true earth witch,,,,I would love to visit her home someday ❤
Witch?
@@julien.4617 yes . N no not bad one like people grow up to believe…. She’s an earthly witch surrounded by nature . Why the witch Reaction for?
Yes, she's a very grounded old soul.
@@julien.4617 in this context, it's a huge compliment.😊🌻
Her way of living looks so healthy. I feel like her way of living would cure a lot of mental health conditions.
I have the most respect for these type of people, removing themselves from the modern yet harmful society because it makes them happy living on their own terms
What I am planning on doing this year. Can not wait!!
@@namastewoke5197 Great! Gave you thought about where do do that? I think about creating a simple community in Amazonas, but the project is going to happen in 2 years. If you still thinking about the place - let me know ;-)
@@inneswiaty583 actually, I did do it. In 2013 my fiance and I purchased 16 acres and built a small proto type hybrid home of strawbale and cob. We are doing a larger home this year and making it round with an added office. It's my dream home really. However, I would love to know more about your project. It sounds so extremely exciting!!
If more people could see the stars and moon on a nightly basis I think there would be less conflict. People forget how small we really are in the grand scheme of things.
Yes Indeed
Our lives are supposed to be on our terms & not the sickening rat race 👍
Emma has a truly amazing home and is completely living in tune with Mother Nature. I feel incredibly privileged to have seen inside her home and way of life. Humbling and inspiring, I actually feel quite tearful! Beautiful and I'm so happy too that such another incredibly special home is in the UK 😊❤❤
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this tour. The UK us such a special place and we will have lots more to explore there in the future. We can't wait to visit again!
YES! I am so impressed with her connections with the earth and the way she obviously honors that!
That whole area of Pembrokeshire in Wales has lots of amazing and innovative people who have built similar homes. Other places like Somerset, Dorset and Devon do too, but are generally a lot more hidden. The spirit of the Druids and the old hags of the heath never left.
@@StreetBoi69uk I am so glad to see that the Druids and old hags are flourishing!
Fox Run Environmental Education Center Amen!
There are no words for the flood of emotion this video gives me! She is the perfect little hobbity witch that so man of us long to be! You can FEEL the magic in her little grass covered cottage! Beautiful!
I like that she naturally HELD your hand instead of shaking.
shes definitely a witch in the best way, and i love her so much. shes such a beautiful soul
"A witch! A witch!" "She has go' a wart." or two
@@barbarawinsor5306 you forgot the grey hair, round hut, piercing eyes, crystals, and WARTS lol jk, she's sweet as a pea.
Yes the pattern of the roof says it all
And a true Human Being 👍👍👍
Everybody opposing the system is a "witch" in a way I guess. And yes she is a true human being with intellectual depth and consideration.
"What's the practicality of that, if every single day you've got to light a Fire before you can have a cup of tea in the morning?"
"Yeah, you're right (...) BUT I don't have to go out to work to earn money to pay for the gas or electricity... who's to say what takes longer".
And she actually enjoys the work unlike Many who hate the jobs they work to essentially, survive.
Word
Derval75 , A warm fire ,Waiting for the coffee to boil and the aroma fills the air as well ! A walk in the early morning to get the water, the smell of life growing all around in the form of flowers 🌺 vines ,trees and bushes and grass underfoot ! The chatter of birds as the prepare for the day’s adventures ,telling eachother where the sweetest berries are and squirrel ‘s adding in their” 2 cents “ ! Putting a bucket or ? to fill with clear cold sparkling water ! And that cup of coffee steaming in your cup ! The first sip hot and oh soooo good ! That is when you know life is sweeter than a hot apple pie cooling on a window sill ! It’s the little things that make life worth living and life IS worth livening ! Life is a Gift find the goodness and the beauty it all starts with YOU ! Blessing to all !
I believe we were created to live closer to nature without all these modern distractions. Our ancestors studied the seasons, the stars, the moon, the animals etc. That's how they knew when to plant, when to save food for the winter, and a whole bunch of other knowledge that is disappearing. God provided things we need to live and many are now feeling the calling to go back to basics. God never meant for us to have to pay bills etc...but to live off the land and all he provides in nature. Food, shelter, even medicines... but we have lost all that knowledge. I watched a documentary where 6 indigenous women in Washington went into the forest and harvested plants and different things and made a feast for the camera crew and film maker with only what they found in the forest it was amazing and wonderful. This brave woman living alone in the mountains has a close connection with nature and she is so inspiring. I pray she lives a long and healthy life.
@@noramascarenas9990 Why did you have to spoil it all by bringing your imaginary friend into it ?
Yaaaaaaassssss
such a beautiful visit with a beautiful soul. such true messages about the world we live in today, and relevant concerns for an ever greedy, materialistic society. truly an inspirational home and person
Such a lovely and wise woman. Wishing her many more years of health and strength to be able to continue the life she’s created.
She’s the most interesting person I’ve seen on this channel, she’s in tune with real life and that resonates with me. So brave and cool, I take my hat off to her, my neighbour also from 🇬🇧
I'd love to see more of her tbh
True 💙
. . . and no bankers sending her snail mail or changing interests on her mortgage. I love the freedom.
Ben Hurley agree
Bryce couldn't think of a negative thing to say even if his life depended on it. The dude is the most positive person I've ever seen.
I know right! There's another video of a 17 year old who builds his own home worth 6 Grand, and the door to his shower space is very tiny. Bryce was so surprised and asked him, "why is that so small though?" and I could tell he was shocked, but he was so good-natured and humorous about it; they just ended up joking about staying fit to be able to fit through that. Bryce is genuinely curious and ever so polite.
I Know, but he ain't going to visit her House, and make a video about it, and then Say negative things, that's a NO NO.
Yes! I love that about him, & that he truly honors the home & owners by always finding a complimentary way of presententing these homes to us. I would have a hard time with the bugs coming into the home; but almost everything else. I can see myself doing ... Scary, but somewhat do~able! 🤗👏🏻🤗
Bryce is a smart man!
well yeah his job is to interview his guests and not to give a critique on their houses
I love the structure. It’s intriguing and amazing how sustainable she has made her surroundings. I appreciate the freedom of being able to choose how and where a person wants to live within their means and preferred lifestyle.
I enjoyed watching this very much. Thank you for your time and production. It was very soul soothing. 💖
Going through and looking at all these posts, everyone seems to agree how awesome this lady really is. She just seems to have more courage than most of us, doing what we all should be doing. Way to go Emma!
Ho god.. She has more depth then she seems guys, i lived this life when i was young with my grandparents and now that i think of it,, It was the most happiest time of my life... She has built her roof according to the 13 moons we have in a year .. can u imagine the calculations of her way of life? There is a sanity in her we would only imagine. i m very happy for her.

I did too, no electricity, lots of fruits around, i still can see in my mind my grandparents land, everyday we roamed around to see what fruit we can forage, my grandparents had all kinds of animals, not pets but for food consumption, chicken, cows, at night my uncle would tell us stories, no tv, no gas, cooking with wood, they dig up a small well for water, everything was done in menial labor but those are the happiest days of my life, they're dead now, the house was abandoned and im here in the city, can only look back and reminisce
Honestly, how many of us can genuinely say "I live in luxury"!? The way she looks at things is something extraordinary... or maybe just sane.
This is life goals... A wild witch in the woods living the way in which we were intended to, thank you for sharing.
Me too sister.. 🌻
So glad I found this channel and especially this video. Emma is spot on with how she sees things in life, so many people living like lemmings in today's society I take my hat off to her for following her own heart and doing what she wants to do, her house and surroundings are magical, I want to create an outside haven for myself just like it, well done her!
she's a cosmic intellect, being in tune with nature to establish a deeper connection with all the elements life at its truest form has to offer, she gives such a warm, earthly, motherly aura
In simple...she's a witch 🧹
@@ILoveESincerely Yea,and she has the witchy,warty growths on her chin.
kirtae - Peace, Well said and totally agree, she is on a level most can't comprehend or care to be at etc I love it and admire her connection to the earth and herself🙂 I'm sure she sleeps at peace and id love to share a smoke and good energy ✌🏻💨 Stay Free
@@ILoveESincerely Why does being in tune with nature and disconnected from the parasitic system, make her a witch? To me it makes her a very humble, beautiful, strong and intelligent woman who thinks for herself.
@@carnivoresarefreaks7868 , take a look at the name you choose to use!
'I created a parallel reality; one I wanted to live in'. This has completely blown me away. She's done it. A visionary. This was brilliant. Thanks Bryce.
Absolutely love this and wish I could build my own sweet home in the woods. Thank you for sharing your space with us Emma!
Only your own mind (and possibly health) prevents you. It's priorities.
She is amazing, how she built the roof, windows, the cooking area. God bless her.
She's such a wise woman. I didn't expect this to be so touching.
Sitting on the floor to do things, collecting feathers, interesting shells and stones, these are things we do as children but we stop doing. It’s like she’s living as humans naturally would. I’m glad we appreciate her. Decades ago people would have regarded her as a hermit and strange, but now she’s on RUclips and people are starting to want this way of life again.
Adrianne Avenicci I’m glad you pointed this out! I was actually very curious about how people are reacting and so pleased to see how this community responded positively.
I think life has gotten so outrageously complex, things have to come back around to simplicity. When all else fails, and it will, nature is the one standby.
Love to do that! And have fantastic strolls on the beach... ^^
It is lovely, cozy and soothing ❤️
Sure beats our way of life...
This lady is amazing. I am truly inspired by everything she says and does. Bless you!
It's so beautiful. Cozy. Something I dreamed about having as a kid. Like a fairy house.
She lives a life right out of a children's storybook. Such an interesting person. I would not be surprised to see forest critters gathering there for conversation & tea. Just lovely!
Edit: I think I've watched this more than 2x now. It just feels like something I want to remind myself of; happiness is typically inversely proportional to complexity in one's life. Perhaps leaning toward introversion helps.:-)
Right now I'm living in a suburb of DFW in TX, and can't imagine a more extreme departure from true happiness than that. A reminder that it's about time for me to go back to nomad mode.
I really would love to live like this 😍
I would Be Content to live like this ,with nature and my Creator! Keeping it simple makes so much more sense.
„Happines is typically inversely proportional to complexity in one´s life.“ So much truth in that, brought to the point in a simple and understandable sentence. I ´ll remember this one - thank you for the clarity 🤗
I'll bet the flies gather where she goes too.
After she called for the goats and they CAME, I was DONE.
That's too funny, but yeah I noticed as well.
I do have goats and yeah there are ones of the most curious animals I know. If you walk toward them, look at them, move like you want to catch their attention, they will just run after you so quick : the reason is FOOD lol
When I was a late teen and we had 4 dogs, I used to howl when they ran off to the Forest. And they returned. I used to have great connection with them...good times. All dead and gone now...
Well their quite intelligent creatures & they like dinner time.
Editing. It was two different shots. The shot of the goats coming could have been an hour later.
When I saw the inside I literally gasped. To me, it is luxurious! What a beautiful home and incredible woman. Thank you for sharing with us.
I had the same reaction - luxurious. I thought, now here is a place I could sleep and eat and read.
cried when i saw the beauty of her design inside, the roof, this was truly inspirational... wow
I love "I am in rebellion against really everything in modern society." Me, too, Emma, but I don't think I have done it as well as you. Absolutely beautiful. You and your home.
Mary Kay Ryan.. I guess I missed that part. "Everything?" That takes 24/7 work and an early death, high infant mortality, plagues, too hot, too cold, famines. Herbs, yes, but don't get Really sick. Exposure, wild animals, lack of hygiene. Maybe most, but not all. Most modern people are too vain and/or soft, her included. She owns land (how long could she hold it without law?) Internet. Enough money to buy clothes, etc. The best most of us can do now is be self sufficient and fairly isolated with minimal interference.
@@julien.4617 Real freedom is a state of mind, not living like cavemen to show the world (partially successful by recording and show her lifestyle for a channel with over 4 million viewers) ur "great rebellion". ;] She fights against the spirit of time and development as if it were something bad in itself.
@@AvangardaVVV You miss the whole point. First of all, this isn't her channel. Second, she doesn't live "like a caveman," cavemen didn't have a computer or a phone. Third, she isn't "fighting" time or people. She chooses to live simply. She's happy and not bothering anything or anyone. Her land. What problem do you have with that? A journalist interviews her. What's the problem.
@@julien.4617 No, u have a problem because you don't even understand what I wrote to u, probably in your native language. I don't have any problem, so you draw terrible conclusions from your head, but that's not my problem too. ;) Where did I write it was her channel or that she fights with people? I also don't know how you watch the material because he clearly said that she doesn't even use a phone and there is no electricity. At this point, I give it a rest. ;] No reception.
@@AvangardaVVV Since you walk away, you quit the debate, so you surrender.
"I've come to realize that I'm a conscientious objector to almost everything in our so-called 'culture'. I don't want to get involved. I don't like it. So I have to create a parallel reality that I can be happy in."
I think a lot of people feel this way about our culture, but so many don't believe they can really do anything about it. People like this woman show us we can. As more of us take steps to create this beautiful parallel reality collectively, I believe it can rival the mainstream reality. More and more people will switch over as they see there really is another option. People like her are pioneers and way showers, they refuse to accept an unacceptable reality and substitute their own reality. Let's do the same in whatever way we can
Beautifully said.x
Love light and rainbows.x 🌈 💖
I had this video in my Watch Later list for almost all of 2020, but I didn't watch it until today. I think 2021 will finally bring us the energy and courage to plan our own parallel reality. It will not only rival the mainstream one, it will outshine it. Happy planning!
@@sontrajamfemininegaze145 If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.
I agree with you and they way things are going in the world I think we’re going to be pushed to think differently 😊
She got it right!
This was an amazing experience viewing Emma's home. Brave lady. Thanks Bryce n Rasa
We could all learn something from this wonderful lady ❤
I love the way she holds Bryce's hand at the end, not in a business handshake kinda way, but naturally resembling as when we hold hands together in a circle, side-by-side.
Oh yes, I saw that!
Yes. I'm about to move house and change lifestyle completely, in a completely new culture, and that response to an offer of handshake made me determine to only respond in that way in future. Being autistic a handshake is always a puzzle for me, this way will be meaningful for me and "shake up the status quo".
I noticed that too! It was really touching in a way - the icing on the cake to this lovely woman. I want to be like that
@@victoriabaker4400 best to you!
@@maroulio2067 And to you!
i LOVE that when he asked about having to light a fire before she can make a cup of tea, she said she doesn't have to work to earn money to pay for the gas or electricity... "in terms of time and motion, who's to say what takes longer?"
8888zod me too! she is a very intelligent woman who lives her dreams. I am full of respect for her!
@@anaphirirussell Agreed! Very few people actually take the time to understand someone else's rationality behind some life choices they might make, and she very simply was able to lay it out in a way that anyone familiar with paying a gas or electric bill could understand. xDDD
in a 3rd world country that is called poverty. people walk down the mountain to get a bucket of fresh water and another to gather food for 5 children. its a good idea to live within your needs and what nature can give to you and byrce ask questions about it and emma respond honestly its not an easy life too. but that was her choice and shes happy about it and guess thats what is important however its not applicable to all people.
@@jamgaela thanks for pointing this out. in light of what you're saying, i really appreciated that she demonstrated that in pursuit of gaining technology and convenient access to necessities, we have become beholden to a way of life that now can cause us harm in different ways. i respect her decision to step away from the culture to do what was best for her. but i think your point is really important. we can't ignore that it is certainly a huge privilege to be able to choose that lifestyle. that is not the case for many many people.
@Albeit Einschtien i understand your frustration, since a lot of us live in a society that says we work for money and benefits and no one should get "handouts." however... it seems that the underlying message you're communicating is that someone should earn their right to life. she chose the lifestyle, yes, but does that mean we should stand back if there was a scenario where life saving surgery was needed for her? --- nevertheless, we don't know the details of her situation or that of her children, so i dont think its fair either to assume the details of her finances and judge her for them.
Bryce seems so deeply touched by this woman's beauty and beautiful home. You can hear it in his voice. Best video ever! Thank you ❤
This is truly beautiful and inspiring. Unfortunately not everyone is as lucky as her to have access to this kind of land.

omg hawklords!!!
my dad's been a fan for years
gets to most gigs even still....
played their music, and video footage through out my childhood & well even now I'm 28 haha.. much to mum's dismay 🤣
now my 3 sprogs have got a mum who is no stranger to sticking on some space ritual!
preparing the next generation haha👽
this comment caught my eye 🥰
Levitation levitation levitation !
@@indirix541 Long live the music of the mighty Hawkwind. 🎼
That's the Spirit of the Age. 🌞
😂😂😂😂
I clicked on this with the thought in my head that 'this woman is some sort of nutter' now the thought in my head is that she's some sort of prophet who's sussed out that we live in a modern nightmare world, and she wants nothing to do with it whatsoever! Emma, you've got my sincerest respect, thank you for showing us reality at it's best!
I don't think she's going to see your comment
@@musicalmarion Doesn't matter, at least the thought is there, and you never know do you?
@@snerper Well, all the signs are there that she is a witch, and such people out of touch with the modern world might have mystical ways of reading internet messages : )
Yeeesssssss!!!!! Well said💁🏻♀️
Thought the same also definitely bit witchy , but very clever !!! Must be cold in winter
Love this! I just moved off grid on a small ranch and built my first home. We have to haul water and use a generator for electricity, but we have horses, other animals and plants and it makes you realize how little you really need to be happy.
I just LOVE HER! She is such an ADVANCED OLD SOUL! VERY EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT! BEST OF EVERYTHING TO HER! ❤♥💜✨💖💙❤
I love how Emma took your hand, instead of shook your hand. She is a lovely Spirit. Thanks for introducing us to her.
Gabi Jones I noticed that, so nice!
I thought it was just an awkward handshake? 🤔
Gabi Jones Indeed she is!
Nice detail!
This woman is living my dream. If only I had the courage to do this. Be healthy and happy Emma!
For me, the only restriction to living like this is finding the land to build on.
Amen! ^^
@@fablemay1846 try other countries if you cant on your own. might be cheaper too
Search Hunza Valley. Many are living there like this but with minimum facilities like water.
I would love to live in the country side. I don't like the cities. I love nature. I love the simple life.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Wise Woman!!! Many Blessings to Her for sharing Her Wisdom xxx Great Interview too!! from New Zealand xxx
Wow! What an inspiring lady. I love her house and her philosophy! Bravo! Thank you for spotlighting this tiny house.
I actually rewatch this episode everytime I feel like I feel unfortunate. I just want to listen to her all day. Her wisdom always bring me back to reality of life. Of how I should be contented in my life. To strive and to give back. I just love that Bryce found her and able to share her story to us. ✨❤️
I thought she was crazy at the beginning of the video, buta after i watched it till end.. gosh, i realize she is more sane than almost everyone i meet in the city.
People like this carry a whole different frequency that totally boggles people so often they get called crazy 😭
Yes absolutely
I get her and why I'm labeled as I am and I truly stopped caring and wow what a freeing feeling. I will be her in a year.
she seems also vey spiritual with a clean energy
Bingo. I've been taught to think this kind of behavior is totally divorced from reality, but that message is coming from a culture that's totally divorced from reality, where anxiety and depression run rampant and people are constantly angry.
Very inspiring and hopeful! Thank you so much!
Wow! Incredible woman, incredible home and way of life!!!⭐️Congratulations!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Thank you to share with us your home! ❤️🙏🏽
I like her voice, it's so calming. I'm guessing it's a reflection of her lifestyle.
Peace
Exactly my observation as well
The My Two Cents Show right. Same exact thing i was thinking
People who seek noise and obnoxious activity for entertainment tend to be noisy and obnoxious themselves. Silence is golden!
Bryce, you should be thanked as well for setting a beautiful, honest and respectful stage for this story, this human being and this lifestyle. Framing is everything, and you do it so well. Big thumbs up!
Thank you, Emma, for living your truth of simplicity and being an example for we who would wish to collaborate with Mother Earth in repairing and replenishing her Beauty and Health. You are, indeed , an inspiration for me (and so many others I am sure). Gwendolyn Marie
She's right. It's beautiful. Inspirational. Ideal. Awesome simplicity, sustainability, living with nature. I'm envious..!
everything this woman stands for and lives by is a different level of peace only some people get the opportunity of experiencing in a lifetime and i think that's wonderful
The earth really does want us to be happy. She left us EVERYTHING we need to survive and hardly any of us even acknowledge her.
not only do we not acknowledge the earth, we destroy it. we humans, as a species consume and consume, but we never give anything back. I hope more people start to wake up before it's too late.
@megan the earth is our mother, not just our home, she provides and protects us and keeps us safe from harm.
@@callummason6589 Amazing. until you meet a bear or a wild cat. Even a deer can be very dangerous if the timing is wrong when you encounter one. Just because one eats a granola bar off the floor does not mean one is in tune with nature. Nature can be violent, extreme unforgiving cruel and deadly. It is not at all easy to live the way she does. Its risky too. But she seems happy. I would not be happy like this. Not at all. I really dislike the possibility of insects rodents and reptiles crawling in my bed too. Eeeep!
Say "God" to be accurate.
@@glynnisthomas9165 Are there bear in Wales? I don't think so. I just wonder what her mainstay diet is.
This is the best featured tiny house living you have so far had. This is the core of it. How i wish i could boldy do the same. It’s takes huge courage to go back to this world that she enjoys. Actually downsized to a new house lately, and who knows, i will get there. Love you channel!! Keep inspiring😍
The most inspiring beautiful video! Although at this stage of my life I would not be able to do this, just watching this incredible woman living life free and happy is wonderful. I wish her continued health and joy.
So many desire to live a simpler old timey lifestyle on the land. Difficult to comprehend how that has to be approved to be legal. Emma's chosen values might not be for everyone, but you are a true guardian of the planet. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us and Bryce & Rasa you again have found an interesting and different viewpoint on what we can call home.
What an evil money driven world we live in, where you have to be approved to live off the land you purchase. She is my new Super Hero!!😍 What a beautiful home.
This is exactly how I aim to live, and have been saving to “purchase” a small slice of land, to do this on, hopefully only a couple more years. I am worried about legalities of building something along these lines, I do not believe in total government control and regulations, and how much they think they can overstep. But one day, I will be Emma. Ultimate inspiration!
Just dont for get to pay your property taxes every year or it will be taken by big brother... I have known many people who lost their land and homes. Its heartbreaking.
Consider a Caravan [trailer] No restrictions And still off the grid
what is the modern world ? WHOLE PICTURE REALITY IN 1 MINUTE IS: Most politicians are corrupt or hold hostages in restraints for to keep the following explained system continue:...Include government rate payments and you understand that you already pay more than 100% of your income to rate payments....that force to create price bubbles....In a real democratic country, taxes are against the law, though not needed...check that up and you understand that taxes are invented just for the reason that private central bankers can put rate on there "out of thin air made loans" to governments. Present turn over in this system started 1946 in Bretton Woods agreement and should as usual only last for about 50 years or until they hide themself behind a war again.... but WH´s come in between....and now we instead have reached a monstrous dept sutaration..so that´s why we are in the middle of 3:rd WW and most people think it should be between countries....nothing can be more wrong and so will there conclusions be to..., this war is about 80% information and knowledge, 15% economy, 3% biological and 2% military actions....obviously ....it´s most about mind control so smart check up Red Bee Media and Dreamscape and then you understand why so many are sleepy domesticated and don´t see the whole picture reality. Today 1 family control natural resources, telecommunication and electric power infrastructure in 182 countries...the one who control telecommunication...not only control MSM and Silicon V. Tech´s by user contract and backdoors.... but also.... the global intelligence collective and all there interceptions and activities...and by a coincidence that single Swedish family together with Swedish administration also use the FRA law, most of politicians, Academia, the authorities, central banks, largest companies, Nasdaq and institutions ... when manage the criminality, money laundering and corruption to educate and lead the global deep state and the global elite...there family motto is operate without being seen and rule by divide. All hidden powers erodes when known...now you also know...then you are part of the resistance. Share this though It´s in all individuals interest to know the real enemy to them, there country and world.
Very nice way of living life away from different walks of pepple, no pretentions, no bills to pay, no bad news,fresh air all yr round,less worries...just living each day with natures. thanks for sharing such wonderful videos. watching frm Calamba City,Laguna,Philippined
I am always a bit angered when I hear anyone say, had to get permission from the government to build... or collect water or whatever simple life thing we want. Boggles my mind we have to have permission to live off grid or build a tiny home or have a farm... gross
Thank you for sharing this majestically created unique Home. So very harmonious with good of the Heart of Hearts! Simply Joyful!🕊❄🕊🕊❄🕊❄🕊
