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!

Burley and his ice chunk….he’s so adorable!
I have followed you for many years now. I must say, you are one of the hardest working women that I know beside my mom...nothing seems to slow you down!! Js great video and a lot of snow!!!! We don't ever get snow in TN hardly...
Great video. But the grandma in me says "where's your hat, girl?" 😉
She hates hats. Doesn’t wear them. 🤷🏼♀️
That wet cold hair in my face would’ve driven me crazy.
Exactly!!!! Lol
Shame you don't listen to her talking in her videos. And please stop implying that as older people we are all as fickle as you about the reason propls get sick. Cold weather when you're healthy and strong is no more likely to attract sickness. Old wives tails are such a pain. I'm so glad I've lived a positive life of faith so I have no time for harbouring nonsense.
Or at least a woven headband to keep the hair back and ears warm 🙂
I wear that and I live in Virginia 🤣
LOL...Burley is have such a great time. My face hurts from smiling.
My son once txtd me and asked how I was doing. I said I'd just shoveled three inches of partly cloudy off my sidewalks and steps!
It takes a very special kind of person to love living in such a difficult climate! And you are certainly worthy of that description, Ariel.
You do realise there a heaps of women and men living in these areas and environments all over the world, don't you ???? They aren't any more special than everyone else in their chosen areas of living.
These people are special to live in such harsh climate.
You are an inspiration. I think of you whenever I am shoveling snow. Like you, I like to shovel snow!
Holy cow! Even for Wyoming that's a massive snow storm! Your work ethic is phenomenal for sure. Thanks for sharing
Ariel has such a positive attitude. I wish more people did. Thanks for sharing lady.
Here in our area of the California Sierra our 7-day total to 109.3". And it's still coming down with more to come. Thankfully we can get out and upstair window to clear sewer/propane exhaust pipes and clear the solar panels as needed for clear days.
What we have is headed your way. Stay safe!
It's been awhile since I checked in on you. Look how far you've come!! We're doing the exact same thing, sold everything 4 years ago and moved into our tiny camp (336 Sq ft) so we could retire, grow our own food, and have more fun...partially based on inspiration from watching you. So thank you for helping us see the way. I need to catch up now...I didn't know you got married! Congrats on that by the way!
Wow that's a lot of white stuff! Looks pretty. And I admire Ariel's strong work ethic, as well as her ability to handle the cold. But, truly, I was happy sitting in the sunshine in my backyard in south Mississippi this afternoon. It was 84 F, and I was still wearing a sweat jacket. Thank goodness I can bloom where I've been planted.
Love to watch your snow videos but there is a reason I left Minnesota for Texas. 🤣
Im 64 & from Iowa...we got a 12" snow storm once that I recall and stymied everyone...I can't even imagine what you deal with as the norm.
Surely it is beautiful, when you get enuf of a break to truly enjoy it.
Don't pass out or get immobilized somehow you would not be found til spring thaw ~ Love your videos ~ Thank you!
I remember watching you shovel snow up in the mountains. Glad you have a blower now 😮😅. Love your channel.
Girl you need a hat. The mom in me wants to put a ski mask on you right now. You are such a hard worker!
He mother and grmother in me says "You go girl". I never wore a hat in the snow or in the sun in the tropics. Such a wise woman, right after my own heart. You'll do fine, stay away from fear mongerers, I'm nearly 70 and still no hats. It's all a fallacy!!!!
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 - Perhaps R Farmstead was addressing that a hat would keep Ariel's hair from becoming soaking wet? Perhaps the "fear mongerers" you fear are a nothing-burger, except to you? Yes, the stupidity of the 'when you don't wear a hat 90% of your body heat is lost via your head' is obvious to most - but not all - people. But what's with the "fear mongerers"? If you must address that fallacy, why not just state it?
@@wendyweaver8749 OK Karen!
You are a very resilient young woman. And yes I thought about a hat too. 🤗
Only Ariel would call snowblowing for hours, lazy. 🤣
I feel your determination - we're at 6600 ft in the Ruby Mtns of Nevada and haven't seen the ground since the beginning of November. Keep getting the tractor stuck trying to stay plowed - now looking into a snow blower for the tractor. I think I want a walk behind like yours for around the house where the tractor can't fit. That's an impressive little machine. Stay warm - where's your hat? 🙂
She doesn't have one doesn't ever wear one, and doesn't need one. Try keeping your insecurities to yourself please. I've made it to nearly 70 without wearing a hat in winter snow or in the summer sun. Can't stand the stupid things. So freeing to see another like -minded soul out there getting the jobs done without all the constraints of fear-mongering !!!!
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 - This is the second reply which you have made just plain nasty! Please keep yourself in check when disagreeing with others. NV posted a simple question: "Where's your hat?" and even included a gently smiling emoji to indicate the question was not a criticism. It was a quiet inquiry.
Leave off the "Try keeping your insecurities to yourself" and "constraints of fear-mongering" and your response becomes an interesting perspective.
@@wendyweaver8749 Glad to see your comment . I’m counting three from that person. Very unnecessary & sad.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Wow. This is now the 4th comment I have seen from you under this video replying to other people's perfectly reasonable comments with criticism and aggression. You seem to be projecting yourself onto Ariel and assuming she thinks exactly like you. Take a break and reflect, none of the comments you have reacted angrily to are in any way bad or wrong, they're just people supporting Ariel and sharing various thoughts which they are entitled to do without you trying to shame them for it.
@@suemcknight9051 Me too, I've seen 4 of her replies now all very similar, I'm glad it's not just me noticing this.
Weatherman Plus gives a very detailed weather forecast and is correct very much of the time. His reports help me prepare here in NW MO. He doesn't do drama , just straightforward info. Loved your video 🤗🤗
“Weather guessers” 😂. Good one!
Now that looks like snow from the old place wow it’s beautiful and deep
So right. I was always impressed with the trenches she would dig by hand ..... and with Burley's help of course.😄
Great video. Lots of work, but I’d much rather her get my workout in shoveling snow or working outside than going to a gym. Imagining all that snow melting and soaking into your garden beds. ❤️
Maybe lots of mud in a few weeks?
@@lindaleal809 - The climate at Ariel's location is dry. It is more likely the melted snow that is not absorbed will evaporate.
I lived in Omak, WA, for a couple of years. Okanogan County has snowfall and winter temperatures similar to Ariel's place and is a dry, near desert climate. As spring arrived, the snow plowed into barriers in the streets mostly evaporated rather than melt. Yes, the street surfaces were wet, but melted snow never flowed down the streets. Same on fields: most of the snow melted into the ground. There was little mud because water not immediately absorbed by the earth simply evaporated.
Yikes!
That's so crazy it's in the 60s here in va I already have spinach lettuces and potatoes growing
Thanks for sharing Ariel! WE also had quite a few snow storms here in Montreal. I love how Berley was making these Chubakah type of sounds it was so funny!
We are grateful for it - glad you got some as well
Okay, let’s all send Ariel a hat and scarf…sheesh!
Do you ever feel overwhelmed sometimes I feel overwhelmed just watching.
Nice workout! It is a joy to see you enjoying the snow so much.
On the Texas gulf coast, it has been in the 80's F in the past week. It will become cooler again but never like what you have. You are a remarkably hard worker.
Prople are hard workers by choice not by weather conditions.
Reminds of the years I lived in New Hampshire. Snow up to the roof line. Now live on the Gulf Coast. It was 82 degrees today.
♡☆• wow!! ♡◇°• with all that "pristine invisible" snow, you could make tons of homemade, "snow ice cream"!! ☆•♡ you, hubby; and "farm kids", stay hardy, safe; warm.☆○°carry on!!♡☆♡ peace out!!☆♡♡
Fun to watch!
Ariel...u guys look like u r having an even bigger party with the snow! I love it but it gets old after awhile!
Love you 2 living your best life in an area and environment of your choosing. You need to be fit & healthy physically mentally spiritually & emotionally and you are. That's what makes watching & listening to you so inspiring. I'm glad I lived my life choices as a young and middle aged woman also and know I didn't miss out on giving it all a go. Uou remind me of myself, Ariel, it's so rewarding when you know what you're doing and why. That removes any negativity from the scenario. Living , using your God-given talents and gifts is so rewarding . Be blessed you 2 and continue to bless us with sharing your robust livihoods. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞👊👏👍✌️🇺🇲
Hopefully all the snow will slowly melt and replenish the water table.
Oh my goodness! Whiteout conditions for a while, there. Grinning from ear to ear, glad I moved out of Iowa! I know how important snow is to maintain our healthy Earth. Burley had a story to tell today. Thinking of honey bees and spring flowers to warm myself after this video. All the best!
I think you got all my snow too.
Ya, pretty much the same thing here, though you have twice the snow. We're at 3500 feet. Winter in all her glory!! ❄🙃👍🇨🇦📷🐾❄❄❄❄
Most snow I’ve seen was Feb’78 at college in Maine. Almost 3 feet. I take everything forecasters say with a grain of salt. All day Saturday, “it’s going to snow at such & such a time”. We saw nothing. Thank you for sharing this with us Ariel! You & Clay live in a magical place ❤️
My goodness the Momma in me wants too say "Where is your Hat?😂 You sure got a work out !
I think yall need a bigger snow blower!!!! Hope yall r doing great love watching yall snow is beautiful
I love hand shoveling as much as you do Ariel, did my share up in Illinois. Can see around the house using the snow blower but with your long drive to the road, and other open areas, I hope to assume right you have a snow blade on a truck. Faster and less gas. I hate hats too LOL but i used one of those 'hi-tech plastic bags on my head, makes more sense than a hat to stay dry.
Wow...that's a lot of snow...16" in a day & a half 😲
Great video good luck with all of the snow ❄️ 👍
Great Video wow alot of snow. Here in Fort Wayne Indiana been a boring winter, That Christmas weekend snow was 5 inches and a 8 inch snow last month. Mostly rain We have had three 2 inch rain days take care
About Burley. Did he win?!?
Up here in the Rockies I always make sure to put my hair in a pony tail with another elastic in the bottom of my ponytail to keep my waist long hair from being tangled and I always wear a hat since a lot of heat escapes from one's head and one can get sick from cold weather exposure... I do the same in the summer so as to not get heat exhaustion. We have an 8 ft snow level right now on our homestead, currently. I hope this well help anyone with a lot of snow to remove....
I lived in Ohio for many years and when retired left for the south and NO snow.
I remember my snowblower very similar to the one in the vlog.
Loved it!❤
Now that is a bit of snow. Not sure if I missed it, how did the chicken do with her eggs?
Wow excellent exercise shwee 🤣
That's funny. We had forecast models mess up huge here last week in the Portland oregon area and missed about the same amount!
That's some heavy duty snow . You are tough to live there
I put up a little weather station on our property as we have a microclimate in our location and it is totally different weather than the nearest town. I find we get a better forecast from our weather station than anything the local stations give us. Ambient Weather Network
I have a Honda track drive blower, smaller than yours, and it's a handful to maneuver. You are a superwoman.
Everything looks far away on video,but I guess it's not,looking beautiful
Oh I,wish I could move there! Here in No KY we are lucky to see an inch! We have snow blower ready….go figure! Love your videos!
So good to see you getting ❄️! I know you have explained before the need for moisture, and typical precipitation. Not quite norm for you, but good to see!
Grocery bag just as a little bit of interest. Surely no need to apologize for it; hopefully no one would be critical.
Fascinating! I can't stop watching!
weather forecasts don;t hone in on a small area, the forecasts for my area usually are not accurate. I lived in Durango CO-San Juan Mtns. and March & April are heavy snow months!
Re legcramps...me 2, i call 'em "shark bite cramps"...
extremely painful...
I get a product called "leg cramps", a little white pill...by Nyland...put 2 under tongue & dissolve...
You need to consider drift cutters for that snowblower.
Do you shovel out the bee hives as well?
That's an interesting question. I wonder...
If you want a job where you can be wrong more than 50% of the time, become a weather forecaster.
You're soooooo right. And yet it's climate change people who are so fervent about how absolutely correct THEY are and how we must all follow them and believe them !!!! They, along with used car sales men are the last people on earth I'd pay one iota of attention to !!!! With all the modern equipment available to weather stations , they are noore correct in their weather forecasts than they were 100yrs ago. !!!!!
We never see snow like that maybe if it drifted.
I love seeing all of the snow! We haven’t seen much over a span of the past few years 😢
Don’t get me wrong, I love Virginia weather but it’d be nice to see snow in winter ❄️
Hi Ariel - Just curious what the temp. was when you were out snow blowing in that gusty wind? Looks like it almost got to a blizzard there! :) Thx!
Is the inside of your home warm?
She has said in some other videos that she sometimes has to open her windows it can get too warm due to the wood stove
I can't help but wonder why the chicken coop and firewood are so far from the house.Or am I seeing things?
Not to put words in Ariel’s mouth, but in one video she said eventually they will build a small home closer to the shop and use the tiny house more for company or maybe rent out for income (?). Wanted to give it a bit of privacy when that happened. Although the gardens seem closer to the tiny house. I have wondered if they wished they put it closer and moved it later. Although ran underground pipes for water and new containers for plants. Moving it would have been a lot of work. Hard to say which would have been more work.
@@Pinetree282 -Thanks!I guess it's six of one,half a dozen of another.
And you are not wearing a hat because……..
Do you really take what weather forecasters say as truths. Ha ha jokes on you. & Why the surprise element? & make such a big deal about it? I mean isn’t that’s what you get when you live where you do. 🤷🏼♀️ It’s snow in the mountains of Wyoming. Wouldn’t expect any less.
Ariel...u guys look like u r having an even bigger party with the snow! I love it but it gets old after awhile!
