Never seen a yurt, didn’t realise it’s a thing of beauty! That’s going to be an amazing space for your family to love while you get your home to where you want it. I’m old enough to know that life isn’t all sunshine and flowers, but you make me forget this for a little while. Wishing you much joy in your yurt x
I was wondering who that artist was at the end. Then when I realised it was you it genuinely made me cry. I used to be in a band years ago and am on a similar journey to you. You're a massive inspiration Bruce. You should be very proud of yourself. Keep doing what you're doing
@@OffGridBruce I hear you mate. I always criticise myself too much when I play. I need to learn to just be me and enjoy it. Hoping to get to that head space one day.
Thanks, Bruce. Your song has me both balling with tears but also raging with optimism and has helped to give me the energy I need to make that step.. #movingouttonthewild #notlettinggooftherope
Well done Bruce and friends. You did a great job of decking and yurt. It was good to see Annie helping out too 🙏🏡🌞 loved the song at the end, beautifully sung 🎸🎶
Thank you Bruce for this beautiful video, for the wonderful voice and song. It’s been 19 years since I put my first yurt up. It was a magical experience and changed the direction of my life. That yurt was the inspiration for starting the Yurt Workshop. Watching your video brought back those wonderful memories. Thank you.
No worries Rob. It’s an absolute beauty of a space and we love it. Looking forward to moving into it. I have a feeling we may never want to move out of it
Ah the yurt looks fantastic Bruce. Great job putting it up with everyone. The song is beautiful and sung from the soul. Keep living your best life man, you all deserve it ❤️
This was just a wonderful video! I love that you show your accomplishments and are honest about your struggles. Gotta love when community comes in and helps also with the motivation. Really loved the song in the end! Grew up with lots of original music around and it reminded me about the mood it sets you in when someone sings a song quietly for themselves that is heartfelt. Thank you for sharing this! Such a lovely place you two are creating there! Looks absolutely gorgeous!
It is a thing of BEAUTY. All of it. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. Your talent is incredible Bruce - I mean - how you even edit all these videos is genius, never mind all the building skills, the comedy (!), the drama and of COURSE, you playing and singing. Beautiful family - hi to Annie. Much, much love to you all and huge congratulations on your yurt ❤️❤️❤️
I know I've seen Annie several times but today, it hit me how much she reminds me of my late sister.😥 Wishes for Happy Life in your new shelter!! (Gotta get furniture in.)
Love it! Well done, Bruce - and everyone else who helped - you should be very proud 😊👏👏 Beautiful song too, was a nice surprise to see it was you singing it! I welled up up a bit thinking about how you and your family have achieved so much and are making such lovely memories 🥰
From the foundations up to the final song this is a thing of beauty. A magical place for your family to live out a wonderful life. Well done Bruce and family
Hi Bruce 😊, we’ve just binged your channel for the last 2 weeks, Awe Bruce what a surprise at the end ,I was just thinking what a lovely song and it zoomed in to you!, bloomin’ luv that song 🎶, what a beautiful singer you are! honestly is there anything you can’t do? 😁 Yurt looks fantastic well done, me and the hubby love your channel it’s fab seeing your lovely family and all the cute animals, thanks for sharing your journey ,take care Tam and Belle 😊
Wow I don't know what to say except BRILLIANT. Such a beautiful episode. Never seen you both so excited. And no wonder. Loved the song too. The girls are going to enjoy it so much. Congrats.
What beautiful song you sang at the end! A surprising bonus after following how the yurt was completed by hard work and wonderful friendly helpers. Thank you for this lovely and heartfelt video!
literally brought tears to my eyes walking in there yesterday with Annie! It feels like a warm hug (be quiet, olaf)! Seriously, well done!!! Can't wait for all the beautiful moments to be had there xx
The leaping was hilarious through the grass 😂😂. Proud of you and Annie all your achievements and living your dreams together. Can't wait to come over again. So much done in such a short time. Missing a good thunderstorm. Keep on living that best life! ❤️
Wonderful aspect for your yurt. So idyllic among the flowers and under that blue sky … and how amazing to get a thunderstorm! Great work all and thanks for singing for us, Bruce … that was beautiful 👏
Awesome video, thank you Bruce and Annie. Your home and land have not only inspired us all so much but it looks like it’s allowing your freedom to be creative and rekindle your inner passion. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely Fab👌👏👏👏. I am not long back to Co.Clare as I have been Volunteering with the Red Crescent/ Red Cross on the Turkey/Syrian Border. Delighted to have found your Channel. New Subscriber. ☘✌.
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and at the end, I honest to god thought it was a Ben Howard song playing. You sound amazing! I loved watching your family’s journey with the yurt!
That's a really well crafted song, excellently performed sir! Like everything you put your hand to, it's impressive! Great voice too! Ok, my compliments jar is now empty!!
From alaska yurt lover … lived worked built yurts for 25 years. Your yurt builder made a beautiful structure. I have questions about the inner liners and cover materials. I do very much love the design , it’s quite like ours but better for warm climates I think. We are working on a tropics design! Anyway I love it . … blessings from Nomad Shelter Alaskan yurts … I wish you many happy years living lightly in the round!
How nice it is to see a Kazakh yurt! our ancestors lived in them when there was the Kazakh Khanate a thousand years ago😍😍 Also, love the song at the end!!👏🏻💗
Hello Bruce, new subscriber here from the Philippines. Really was amazed at what you guys are doing. Thank you for showing us a glimpse of your homesteading.
Thank you for the video. Great job putting up the yurt. Just subscribed to your channel. My dream is to live in a tiny house or yurt someday on a beautiful piece of land. You inspire many to follow a dream. Beautiful song as well. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous, what a view, what a nightmare to put up. Time to move in and move on with your stone house. Well done guys and neighbour and friends 👏
Song took me by surprise..I really enjoyed the video as always, was drifting a little listening to the song, had not realised that it was you. Is it yours or a cover, either way it was class. Love the yurt, looks at home in that landscape. Happy family!
I am blown away. This is the most gorgeous one I’ve ever seen. The doors the glass wooden doors have a panoramic view. Do you have a model number or anything because I would really like to look into this. I live in Florida right now and I’m getting ready to give up all of us and buy a piece of property off grid and this is absolutely amazing. And how large is yours?
I've noticed that most yurts are designed without eave overhangs. Roof water simply runs down the exterior walls where it can penetrate around openings, disrupt foundations and freeze on side walls in during cold seasons. It's not a good idea for a permanent dwelling. Also it appears that R-values often are 100% dependent on foil bubble wrap of varying thickness; insulation performance claims and values of these products are generally unsupported and highly disputed by reputable construction thermal testing. No one seems to make allowance for the impermeability of PVC tarp exterior coverings. Interior trapped moisture vapor can be controlled, but it should be designed into the project.
Hi Terry. This yurt has definitely been put through it’s paces this last month. Non stop rain and wind. We don’t often get frosty round these parts and our yurt is insulated with sheep’s wool and I have built the platform with 50mm PIR insulation. We had a big cold snap recently and so far no cracks in the footings. I spent a lot of time vibrating them getting all the air out so hopefully they should stay strong. The canvas on ours is a breathable material not pvc although that being said our friends not far from us when replacing the canvas had one made from pvc as it’s so wet here and they say it works much better for them. Time will tell I guess. We are living in the yurt while I renovate the cottage and so far we love it :)
lovely video and great work on the yurt build! I think I'd've given up after the first instruction lol, looks very complicated 😂😂 And lovely song at the end! Maybe I've missed a video somewhere but are you moving into the yurt while you work on the house or is it for visitors?
I was thinking I needed to look up that song at the end. I was shocked almost to tears to realize it was you singing it.
Thanks very much 😊
Same here!
I thought the same thing but realised that it probably was you singing it, really beautiful song. And some lovely film making too...
@@OffGridBruce Absolutely. Please make it available for download.
That song was so beautiful ❤

Thanks Shane I’m looking forward to getting to work on the house
I know I've seen Annie several times but today, it hit me how much she reminds me of my late sister.😥 Wishes for Happy Life in your new shelter!! (Gotta get furniture in.)
Ah well if she’s like annie she must have been a lovely human. They say to put large furniture in before building it 😳 I think it should all fit
Love it! Well done, Bruce - and everyone else who helped - you should be very proud 😊👏👏
Beautiful song too, was a nice surprise to see it was you singing it! I welled up up a bit thinking about how you and your family have achieved so much and are making such lovely memories 🥰
Thanks Rob. It was a mad couple of weeks! I get such a buzz from getting things done :)
Sweet! So nice Bruce and family! The “yurt” chapter has begun! Love the song, too! Thanks for finally sharing your music! You do that well also! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks 🙏 thought I was asked by a friend if I would put some of my tunes in a vid at some point
@OffGridBruce that was an amazing song!!! Is there somewhere I can listen to it or other music of yours?
Love the yurt 🛖
And your song feels like an invite for happy home vibes ✨🥰
Wishing Many Blessings for you and your lovely family xxx🧡🕉🧡

Love the yurt, looks at home in that landscape. Happy family!
It is an original :) I had some people ask if I was going to put any of my music in the vids so thought I would sneak a bit in
Love the yurt…LOVE the song!!
Thanks Michele
I hope your family survives the winter.
Thanks russell. We have already done a winter and it’s lovely and warm with the little stove going. We even had snow last year :)
I am blown away. This is the most gorgeous one I’ve ever seen. The doors the glass wooden doors have a panoramic view. Do you have a model number or anything because I would really like to look into this. I live in Florida right now and I’m getting ready to give up all of us and buy a piece of property off grid and this is absolutely amazing. And how large is yours?
I got it from the yurt workshop and it’s 21ft
wow - i like your voice and this song. the yurt is great!
Thanks Barbara
New subscriber! Beautiful song, beautiful yurt. 👍
Thanks for subbing! :)
Absolutely fantastic work guys! Hat's off to you all!
Thanks Paula
Nice job mr & mrs off grid Bruce..
😂 thanks 🙏
I've noticed that most yurts are designed without eave overhangs. Roof water simply runs down the exterior walls where it can penetrate around openings, disrupt foundations and freeze on side walls in during cold seasons. It's not a good idea for a permanent dwelling. Also it appears that R-values often are 100% dependent on foil bubble wrap of varying thickness; insulation performance claims and values of these products are generally unsupported and highly disputed by reputable construction thermal testing. No one seems to make allowance for the impermeability of PVC tarp exterior coverings. Interior trapped moisture vapor can be controlled, but it should be designed into the project.
Hi Terry. This yurt has definitely been put through it’s paces this last month. Non stop rain and wind. We don’t often get frosty round these parts and our yurt is insulated with sheep’s wool and I have built the platform with 50mm PIR insulation. We had a big cold snap recently and so far no cracks in the footings. I spent a lot of time vibrating them getting all the air out so hopefully they should stay strong. The canvas on ours is a breathable material not pvc although that being said our friends not far from us when replacing the canvas had one made from pvc as it’s so wet here and they say it works much better for them. Time will tell I guess. We are living in the yurt while I renovate the cottage and so far we love it :)
Bloody brilliant……. You two are great.
😊 thanks
Love it, gorgeous space, 💖 and song 🙂
Thanks Caitriona :)
Yurt is fab. as they say down our way Well Wear .
Thanks Leonard :) Annie’s over the moon with it
We're drinking plenty of water. Looks like canal water or beer 😅
Beer has water in it 😂
lovely video and great work on the yurt build! I think I'd've given up after the first instruction lol, looks very complicated 😂😂 And lovely song at the end! Maybe I've missed a video somewhere but are you moving into the yurt while you work on the house or is it for visitors?
We will be living in it during the renovations then we will be holding retreats and possibly renting it out during the summer
Amazing yurt amazing video and amazing family, very real in a unreal world 🙏💪
Thanks Theo 🙏
Well done all, and looks like for once the weather was on your side :)
Thanks stein. What a summer!
