  • One of my brothers moved to a spot fairly close to us this summer and we helped him get a little off grid cabin built to live in. Watch from the bare ground start to him being able to move in.

    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!

    Micah has an awesome tiny house. So wonderful that you three worked on it together. Very cool to inherit a wood stove, no burn off needed. And that chair looks so comfortable! Best wishes to Micah!!!❤️

    So glad to see your brother is nearby and is following a now established family tradition of literally creating one's home, one step at a time. (Greatly with the help of family and good weather, no less!) May Micah find rest and warmth in his new home, whever it may go!

    Perfect little off grid cabin! Having the whole interior sheeted makes good sense for a tiny house. Micah seems like such a lovely human. You’re all so blessed to live close to one another and share in helping live such a good life.

    When I was a kid, My aunt had no plumbing in her house. There was a "slop pail" in the kitchen where all the peelings from veggies went, as well as the dishwater and wash basin water went. That went out to a composting area. Soap was home made, so biodegradable. This is the way people lived in those times. We have become so pampered in the way we live now. In the past people lived much rougher.

    Your brother's place looks great Ariel, i'm sorry it's been so long since I last commented on one of your videos. Last year i had a stroke and a mild heart attack in June, so i haven't really been myself, infact I lost a bit of memory as well, but thankfully, i'm still alive and slowly getting back to my old self 😊 Hope you and your family is doing well, and i'm glad I found you guys again☺

    I'm finding it hard to put words together. It is so wonderful to see people in this great country of ours relying on themselves and those close to them. I am in awe of your parents, and the wonderful job they've done raising such self reliant adults. God Bless you, Clay, Micah and the rest of your family. May you have many blessed years in enjoying everything you've built. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Wonderful project to work on together. And so nice to have your brother close by. Wishing Micah well in his new venture! Also I admit to being amused by the tiny amount of rain--we had five inches of rain the other day which is nothing unusual here. It's so interesting to see how climates are different.

    Congratulations on getting it livable even with the snow flying!

    Ariel, what a blessing you all are to each other! It was so much fun to watch the excavator chew away the hillside. Clay makes it look so simple and I know better! The setting is amazingly gorgeous, from all directions. Micah's cabin is beautiful and that wood stove is the crown jewel! Can't wait to see what else is done. Congrats to you all for a job well done and may you all continue to be blessed with good health in this new year.

    to peek in now and again cause there’s a bunch of folks wishing him well!

    I love his cabin!!!! You-all did a great job!!!! It’s perfect for one person…. What a beautiful place…. The mountain behind will help shield the wind…He looks to be surrounded by lots of wildlife… He’ll probably have to put high fence to keep the deer from eating his garden… Living in Wyoming myself having to put all bushes and trees surrounded by fence….Great video…❤

    The way he's got his bathroom set up that's a way better set up than having to go to an outhouse, I would hate to have to go to a outhouse at night, with Wildlife around! Being that he has to hall all of his water, will he have a garden? When I saw his path up to his property, I was wondering if he could potentially end up with a sloppy mud mess where his truck would get stuck! Will he eventually have to put Stone up the driveway? That's so nice that you all have each other to help, not only with big projects, but to spend time as a family! Now all he needs is a dog for companionship! 💕
