This is the kind of off grid / tiny house living I’ve envisioned for myself but with just a little more modernization as I am a senior citizen and somewhat disabled. But that’s not a problem because whatever I would build would go on my son and his family’s 7 acre hobby farm - which somewhere years down the road the home would be there’s anyhow upon my death. This seems so refreshing to me! I grew up country and mostly off grid anyhow so that part would not be a surprise or shock in any way. I just needed to let you all know how you’ve inspired me to continue that dream♥️
Our yurt is from the company Pacific Yurts (based out of Cottage Grove in Oregon), but we bought ours used and set it up ourselves. Here's a link to a blog post I wrote about setting it up: feelslikehomestead.com/2023/04/26/raising-the-yurt/ We've been very happy with it, and Pacific Yurts' costumer service is absolutely fantastic! In regards to the insulation, Pacific Yurt’s insulations is a 5/16” thick, seven layer, reflective insulation. It basically looks like a really fancy bubble wrap covered in aluminum foil. We've found that it stays warm inside as long as the fire is going, but if the fire dies on a cold night, it gets pretty chilly. In all fairness, we do have several large windows that aren't insulated, and our back door is in pretty rough shape and lets quite a bit of air through a couple big gaps.
Wow, what a rude thing to say to a stranger! I hope you wouldn’t speak to someone like that if they invited you into their home in person. Is your house always spotless? I specifically didn’t tidy up before filming because I wanted to show the reality of living off-grid in a tiny house with toddlers. We don’t wash dishes after every meal because that requires boiling water and a 20 minutes process to wash everything without running water. The kids play with toys, and as anyone with kids can tell you, sometimes they want to leave a toy out to come back to later. I don’t have an office or a sewing room, and it’s not always practical to put projects away when I’m planning to come back to it later in the day. We don’t have closets to hide things in. Our entryway doubles as our bathroom for heavens sake. We’ve been working to build shelves and storage solutions for a year and a half now, but that takes money and time - both of which often have to be spent on other things. Please be more thoughtful before you leave a rude comment next time.

Aw that sounds like a wonderful adventure to pursue! Good luck with your future plans!
Would love to live in an off-grid yurt someday. What size yurt do you have?
Ours is a 24’ Pacific Yurt. We’ve been very happy with it!
Hello, I enjoyed your video. My question is what company did you use and what is the insulation? do you find your yurt stays warm with in insulation?

Punk!!
Ppl are so rude you guys rock!
Are you going to put up a small railing on the side of the decking ❤❤
We have since installed a basic safety rail around the deck! We’re currently working on putting bars on it to keep little ones from falling through.
