  • Exploring a real life hobbit house in the middle of nature in Quebec was such a lucky find! I have been to Hobbiton in New Zealand, and although the grounds are spectacular, it feels like it's missing not being able to stay inside a hobbit home. Well this place in Quebec, Canada sure solves this problem. This place is a dream come true for Lord of The Rings fans!

    Hobbit House. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

    I love the idea but i would put in floor isolation, gapped wooden floor so its nice to walk on barefeet.
    Also have your walls isolated and use double windows to retain heat, this way you burn less and keep more heat.
    Candles are nice but in the long run cause soot to build up in your home and can be unhealthy (because of the soot)
    Either build in some led candles and a solar system to have some form of electricity.
    If you are living off-grid in such cold temperatures you can build a storage tank system that gets heat from the chimney to melt snow to water and use a filtration based system to have drinkable water and for showering and dishes using an electrical water pump from a camper.

    If it was a proper Hobbit house, the earth berthing on the roof and the three sides (earth makes for great insulation), plus the thickness of the front wall, should be able to keep the interior at 50F or higher without the woodstove being fired up, no matter how cold it is outside.
    The windows would then be the only place for heat loss in the house. Therefore, in a modern, 21st century Hobbit house, you need to use double- or even triple-pane glass in the windows to minimize heat loss. You'd also want to make the windows smaller than this house has. That would cut down in heat loss, too.
    I plan on building a Human scale Hobbit house, but I'm going to include electricity. That way, besides the woodstove and fireplace, I can incorporate a geothermal-based radiant floor heating and cooling system. This system is in my plans because I read an article about a man who built an earthship in the mountains and was going to go without a heating system, but the county home inspection office wouldn't let him do it ; they insisted he put a heat source in his house. I imagine a lot of county offices would make such a demand.
    BTW my electricity will come from a microhydro power plant (the right system can provide enough electricity for about 30 average American houses). Backup will be provided by a solar/wind power "orchard," a combination of solar power arrays and wind turbines (the kind that look kind of like plastic 50 gallon drums).
    Water will be come from a well and a rainwater catchment system. Gray water will go to a tank for use in my raised bed garden and orchard of dwarf fruit trees. Other wastewater will go through a series of septic tanks.
    I want my place to be completely offgrid.

    I have some experience in doing such so I'm certain that wood heating stove didn't work very well for cooking on (takes a special kind made for cooking). That's why you had Ramen, could only get a kettle of water barely warm enough to make a Cup of Noodles.

It would not have to be boring since we could build wooden adventure parks. But high tech is here not present while I think it should but without breaking the style.

    Why is this a Hobbit House? If you read the BOOKS, it states very clearly that they extend into the hill, and they have many passages, and tunnels. There are many storerooms to keep the food, beer and wine in. There are always, at least, two kitchens, and many bedrooms for the guests. There are libraries, many fireplaces, (not stoves), and always a bread oven. I've never seen a proper Hobbit House, even the ones in the films are studio mock-ups. It would be great to build more than 8 rooms, with connecting tunnels and passages, so why has it not been done?

    • @AffinityAdventure

      mate these are normal people with normal jobs using extra money to build a beautiful hobbit inspired home.
      While agree a more realistic hobbit house would be very cool, its not really that feasible.
      Hollywood budgets very different.

      In summer you can cook on an open fire outside. But I've been there and in fact since the house is underground it stays pretty fresh. There is also possibility to stick to cold meals like cheese/bread/delicatessen. they give you a huge bottle of water with a manual pump. Toilet is ecological toilet, there is a seat and then it's like a hole going underground and you have to put some woodchips to cut smell off and help decomposition.

    I hope you take this the way I mean it, honestly and constructively. I enjoyed your video, but your production quality genuinely needs to be better. You used a different microphone for a segway bit that was lower quality and easily noticeable, and it took away from the coolness of the topic you're going on about, which I actually find cool. If this was done just a bit better, I bet this would have gotten somewhere around 500k views, or even millions who knows.
    Look at any vid with over 5m views and see how well it's edited, they're usually done by professionals. You don't have to replicate them, take notes from them. Care about your quality and your performance will improve, Brother.

    • @AffinityAdventure
      @AffinityAdventure  10 месяцев назад

      hey thanks for the constructive feedback.
      I did use the same microphone, it was just indoor vs open outdoor forest.
      Comparing to a professional youtuber I could see that, but given that this was just a holiday that I paid for w my gf and i happened to decide to make a video, im happy with the way it turned out. And for a channel this small im definitely happy with 80k views. Some of my videos only get 300.
      Of course there are areas to improve, like more consistent audio (so find a similar forest to record vo's after the fact) and for other videos I could plan and script more. But this one was meant as a fun holiday and excited to share the cool hobbit house I found.
      Thanks for watching.
