Living Off-Grid on a Tiny House Homestead for 6 Years
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- Ariel has been homesteading and living off-grid in a 24'x8' tiny house for 6 years! She grows, forages and preserves as much of her own food as possible, she cuts her own fire wood, carries her own water, generates electricity with solar, and cooks with propane. She is a passionate backpacker and wildlife photographer who works part-time on a ranch in exchange for a place to park her small home, and she also works a variety of jobs to earn money, although her expenses are very low since she isn't paying rent, and since she managed to pay off the tiny house several years ago.
You can follow Ariel and her self-sufficient off-grid homesteading adventures on the Fy Nyth blog and TH-cam channel here:

yep but you still have to get everything up to permit - not cheap! You have a septic system? Can't permit a composting toilet easily. When I went to the most traditional Berber village in Morocco - they lived off humanure compost for thousands of years - to grow their wheat and veggies in the desert.
Ariel has the pioneer spirit! She is great peeps 👍
Arial is intelligent & bright with much to share with us all. 💞👵
I'm sure she's a nice lady. I just don't see the point in watching the vid for the 40% of the population making $15 an hour or less. We can't afford fancy building permits for septic systems, etc. A real off grid living? I lived in a cabin just south of Denali Alaska - with bear tracks all over outside - and moose - we had to knock down the frozen mountain of crap in the outhouse (that was freezing of course). I'm just saying - ... you can't build like that even now in Alaska! You need permits - too expensive! The Old Timers just threw up cabins with no insulation, etc. I'm talking 1980 by "old time" - not that long ago.
I have one question what happens if you encounter intruder like wild animal and maybe stranger
This girl is an absolute legend.. Can't believe how amazing her life is, it would be hard work but I bet she feels so satisfied
Bet she feels so free
She is earning a lot from TH-cam as well.
Well not really self sufficient if you have to get propane and the neighbours water ? A modern pioneer women 🤗
Andrea Wood She has to carry the water a good distance; it ain’t easy.
Sammy Mitac She does a lot of odd jobs; until recently had a good income from YT but they changed some rules & she’s not been vlogging as much. See link to her channel & watch FMI.
My favorite thing is how chill her dog is. Gives zero Fs about everything except curling up in front of the fire. Respect.
Actually, not so much respect but freedom. If you raise a dog without leashes, constraints from a young age, his natural inclination is to follow his pack. He gets as much exercise as he needs and wants throughout the day so no need to be excitable and hyper - unlike most dogs that are confined in a house. Her breed needs exercise to be as calm as it is, and she gives it all the freedom to walk when it wants, sleep when it wants. Hard to do when you have a full time job - which she does not have - or unlimited area for a dog to roam and explore - which most of us do not have. I know there are exceptions to this - some breeds are naturally super laid back - but I'm talking 'in general'. But I do know that country dogs without restrictions are the best you can have in terms of quiet demeanor and loyalty.
He's an English Shepherd ❤️ The majority of them have a great 'off' switch.
We could learn a thing or two from dogs.
@@brianwade8649 We know all of this. But we play by other rules set by the rulers of the game named "modern civilized country" and thus we give away power.
@@egria see... a dog would never think about that. ; )
“I kept everything I cared about.”
Amazing how good life can be living with so much less stuff. And spending significantly more time outside brings a richness to life money simply cannot buy.
“You will own nothing and you’ll be happy”
It's easy, if like her, you have a massive cash injection to do it.... This video although a cool way to live, is simply impossible for most people who don't earn enough to even TRY to build this. It is basically humble-bragging.
@@DimensionDevices Earning and saving money to achieve such a thing requires disciplined commitment, bragging rights well earned.
@@fluxfaze lol sureeeee.... Ssuuuuurrreeeeee.... But it is STILL bragging, using your own words.
@@DimensionDevices Aw, too bad some people aren’t productive enough to earn enough money to do it. So unfair. Wah! Wah! Wah!
I have a paraplegic friend who worked hard and long enough to do it.
Wah! Wah! Wah! So unfair!
Finally someone used cork flooring. My personal favorite, because when I lived in Florida I learned cork doesn’t mildew or rot like wood when it gets wet. Helpful to know after hurricanes and flooding.
TY 4that tidbit! 👍💞💞
Yep. Plus it's extremely resistant to fire too.
Cork flooring is wonderful. Agreed.
I have cork in my kitchen so that’s good to know.
Aye. Cork
I love that she's been living in her tiny house for SO long! Most tiny house tours are from people who have just moved in. She's got a great system going.
Mathilde Bergeron yes! You should check out her TH-cam channel. It’s my favourite one.
Mathilde Bergeron Very valid point. My only thought is that being isolated and requiring physical strength, like sawing or chopping and carrying logs, may be a problem if you get ill, or frail, but great to enjoy for as long as possible.
She🥰 has Perfected!!! .🤗.."tiny...HOME LIVING👏👏👏🤗
@@g-r-a-e-m-e- when you live this lifestyle you have longevity
@@g-r-a-e-m-e- those things aren't necessarily much more difficult than carrying groceries or doing yardwork. Like most things, you can do it the hard way or the smart way. Young whipper-snappers full of energy, short on time, who think they're invincible are likely to power through things the hard way. When you're older you can take your time and do it smarter. ;]
6 Years people!!! This amazing woman is proof that "tiny homes" are so much more than a FAD. And please, can we talk about the "pupper" so cute!
PUPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Karma-qt4ji the dog is the most self suffiecient of all dogs!
i mean pupper
She's "proof" that unless you have neighbors who have dug a well for $20,000 and maintain a pump and filter setup for $x amount, you won't have any water. ;)
@@user-jh6kx1fw9h It depends on where you live. Some rural areas still have free public standpipes where you can fill your containers or trailer. Others capture rain water (but not where it is as cold as she is). There are fancy houses in Austin, TX that only have rain water capture as there is no city water and well drilling is forbidden. There are communities in New Mexico that haul water forever as drilling a well is unlikely to work.
I love the raised garden beds, it’s makes the garden so organized
I’m wondering how the birds and other animals aren’t getting into it if it’s not covered. But it looks pretty
They're so pretty
This is a beautiful tiny house inside and out. The flower gardens are lovely, and the veggie garden well thought out.
The thing that impresses me the most is her focus on surrounding herself with what she truly enjoys and being intentional. A lesson that transcends tiny house living that facilitates the connection to well being and deep contentment. WELL DONE!
Beautifully said!!!! 😀
Agreed
Well said!!
Yes, I try to do the same (work from home, spend a lot of time in the garden each day or lying in the sun outside, getitng lots of sleep, no alarm clocks etc)
More power to her! I love this. No gym needed. That whole lifestyle is a workout. Her dog looks like the happiest canine on the planet.
I really like her tiny house. Simple, somewhat rustic, not elaborate--just right. She's pretty active too. I'd be scared of bears and other wild life there, but if she can do it, good for her. Very strong abilities!
I would also be afraid of 8 months of snow. It amazes me people don't move to the south
🐻
Tips like the Ignition System differences on the Stove is really the most important Info to share about tiny houses and such at this point.
Thank you for that.
One might want that glow bar in the event the flame accidently goes out and the gas is still on. I imagine it was designed like that for a reason.
There's a lot of people living like this up here in interior Alaska, myself included! Hauling water, splitting wood, outhouses and clean livin! Glad I found this channel
Why don’t you get a water tank?
@@VeganGreekGirl I have a water tank in my house but still have to haul water to fill that tank...
@@jake10373 that's so awesome, I'm up here doing this as well!
Is it safe in terms of intruders on the land or anything of that sort?
@jacob yule
I've been convincing my gf that we need to move out there. I just need to find the best way financially to do it and then im out. I am finally thinking that an earthship is a good option.
How do you like living up there?
That was interesting, I like seeing stories about people living small in northern climates.
This is awesome to see you leaving comments and I follow you. I also agree with ur comment.
- said Shawn, from inside his comfy cabin.
Where is this at?
My Self Reliance - Ariel lives in the state of Wyoming. The year-round freezing is due to the elevation at which she leaves, about 10,000 feet, in the mountains.
Seeing your little tiny home in the dark, with oil lights on, in the winter just made my chest feel peaceful 😊
Very cool. Good for her! She's leading a life that keeps her busy working, mostly independent and deeply connected to the earth.
Quite rewarding.
I admire her independence and ability, not to mention her knowledge on surviving
Her lifestyle is actually kinda dream come true. She don't need to have everything to be happy, just be satisfied and get the best out it. She is living a life that most people don't, and I like that. Actually, I wish I could live in a quiet place like that, enjoying the mother nature, and be able to see how other animals live on their own.
you actually need a lot of money to live this kind of life.
But I'm sure it has its downsides as well. Cold freezing winters, isolation for long periods isn't healthy. Surrounded by wild animals can be a very scary experience.
I think it's all about balance. I would love a place like that to escape too for 1 month, two or 3 times a year, but I wouldn't want to live like this on a permanent basis, alone.
@@John-co6mo I don't think she's totally alone. She has many neighbors for whom she works to trade for things. She mentioned having friends over for dinner and to stay. This is life on one's own terms. Living with others is constant accommodation and compromise; as a result, often one loses self-reliance, self-sufficiency, self-confidence. Ultimately, everyone faces the abyss alone and needs strength and a strong will. More young women should be like her.
She does not need everything to be happy.
@@John-co6mo Would rather do it in the south, be much easier as far as growing stuff and not needing so much firewood. Too cold where she is.
I'm buying a property in rural Canada to do something like she does, hope it all works out! 🤞
You will be living the dream good for you I hope one day I can do it too in the states
It will more than work out. May God bless you.
Plan well. The better you plan things out the better it will go.
🤞Best wishes!!! 🏘️
All the best. Its my wish too
This entire pandemic, I have been watching TH-cam videos about these people living in a tiny house into the woods. It makes me happy and help me not think about when this pandemic would come to an end. The only thing I've learned during this pandemic is that people like her living away off grid are the luckiest of all - pandemic hit the cities with many people but never heard of isolated places get infected with whatsoever. The fact that they have live there years prior to the pandemic its normal for them not to see much people around and enjoy their normal life without mask on. I'm currently working abroad for the purpose of me being able to experience how people in the city live compare to where I used to spend my entire younger life in the province and it really is very different. After this pandemic I would surely head off from the city and go back to living in a peaceful, liveable and worthy life in the province/mountain. Oh, I'm 26 btw but I love how she's spending her life.
The more I watch people living in tiny homes the more I am convinced that "witches" were just people who wanted to live alone. Loners, the ones with austerity and independence in their veins. I absolutely adore this life style and hope to be living it soon with my family.
This is more true than you realize. Many witches in the US were independent women who owned land, were unmarried (spinsters or widows) who were executed in order to legally steal their property.
@@lavinder11 Spinster is a derogatory term.
@@trees915 I'm sure lavinder11 did not intend for his use of the word "spinster" to be derogatory. When put into context of the era of the Witches of Salem in the 17th century, that was the standard word used for unmarried women over the usual (for that era) age. I myself was a sworn spinster before getting married at the age of 36 many years ago, and it did not faze me at all to be called as such. On the contrary, I was rather offended when someone tried too hard at being PC, by calling me a bachelor instead! Too much fuss over such trivia.
@@kina7128 I am well aware of the historical context and the term needs to stay in the past. I don't care much for political correctness in many contexts, however, it does have its place in some, especially if civilization is going to continue to evolve.
@@trees915 There's nothing derogatory in the word spinster. Quite the opposite as it's used for strong, independent women who did not need husbands to take care of them. If you are one, be proud! Shout it from the hilltop!
Seeing your little tiny home in the dark, with oil lights on, in the winter just made my chest feel peaceful 😊
warms my heart that she'd be willing to change the layout of the house to make the dog more comfortable
Such a simple life. And she genuinely is happily content with what is. I strive to be her. 💕
That’s hard work
Chopping wood and growing your own vegetables is 10x harder than sitting around watching TH-cam in an apartment.
@@emusaurus true, but then you spend 10x more to have TV and 10x to buy your foods.
Oh and also add that your $ for an apartment goes to the rich man, while you have 0 equity.
She's winning.
@@emusaurus But it's great exercise and healthier than sitting all day in front of a TV or monitor filling one's head with garbage. She has books for knowledge.
Why not just be yourself?
I have been dreaming about this for years, about self-sustainability and a free life, and I have been working on it for some time. It is much easier for me when I see how successful other people have been, and I am glad that a lot of young people are also turning to this movement. Thank you for the video! 🤗🤗💚💚
Best of luck 👍 Now that you're young, reach for your dreams. I wanted a life like this when I was young.
Go for it💞💓👍🏻
Now, this is one self-sufficient, resourceful young lady.
she has a desperate hungry look to her eyes... I think she needs some companionship
Cajun Rabbit get out of here, troll
She's depends on everyone, not off grid, she doesn't own the land that she is in, she depends on the neighbor for water. The minute the owner and the neighbor move or change their mind she's screwed. She's living off everyone else.
who didnt build her house she paid someone WOW HOW IMPRESSIVE!
So I can go park my mobile home in someone else's property which is what she did and use someone else water, not pay rent, mortgage, taxes or insurance which is what the owner of the property is doing and call myself self-sufficient and off the grid? Is like someone saying I moved out of my parents house a d have my homestead off-grid but still lives in their land and has use of the property while not paying nothing
Ariel is my favorite person who lives in a Tiny House. I’ve been missing her updates since she stopped doing TH-cam. Everything from her recipes to her outlook on life are greatly missed in the crazy times we are living,
Laura MiPe totally agree!!
Laura MiPe She’s back. Check the links above.
Sadly, she’s not back on TH-cam. She just did do an update, which was great. But, emphasized that we could follow her blog or find her on MeWe (which I have had a difficult time with😢). I continue to miss her and her knowledge & wisdom....
Agree!
Me too!
Beautiful Home, beautiful lifestyle, beautiful Human being, and of course, a beautiful doggie. Tiny living however is forbidden in many areas of the U.S. If you go off grid, the local monopolies cannot make money off of you. A real choice of living is real freedom. Congrats to Ariel.
I love her garden and how well she explained why and how this works for her.
An independent woman living mostly off the land and with nature in such a harmonious way IN a beautiful, rustic tiny house. A bountiful garden. A sweet pup. Well done, Ariel🙌
Word "independent woman" is a myth created by social engineers of certain type to push women away from men so that they are not available to procreate, that results in population reduction.
Question is why did they choose only certain women not men to be victim of this PsyOps.
@Scott Sloop haha
@@ilicdjo were you born yesterday?
@@whispersofveracity63 Exactly. She is living in a community of good people and old people who have land, wealth etc. There are other good men helping her out with logistical issues, maintenance etc. That is why the fact that she doesn't have a man doesn't come to the surface. Otherwise, she absolutely needs a man to do the harder tasks on a consistent basis and for love, affection, companionship, emotional connection etc. no matter how much she or other old/young women deny it. That is the biological truth.
@@whispersofveracity63 good point. Well thought our. All I could think of was how does she do laundry???? Haha
This is my dream, my goal in my life. Ive been dreaming of living in a tiny home on my own piece of land growing as much of my own food as i can as sustainably as i can for years now. This woman is my inspiration. Thank you so much.
Fanatic became control freak. Then minimalist. Beats the city.
I'm literally going to go insane if I don't get a lifestyle and gorgeous tiny house like this one😭 Kudos to her for liberating herself. Enjoy the stunning nature!🥰💙💚
She's a strong lady! I love that she has ultimate financial freedom and able to do what she loves! I also love her garden and the inside of her home. It feels very homey and well loved!
Probably watched a hundred tiny home videos. This is my favorite design so far - attractive roofline, nice balance of walls and windows, simple interior, very functional space. Love everything about this build!
You mentioned a guest bed, and room at the table for friends...what time shall I come over? Lol You are inspiring!!
Lol 😂
Dawww... felt sorry for the pup about the stairs but the bit about lifting him up and down made me smile 😘
How can one person be this awesome. What a great life she is living
You should convert those upstairs closet doors to sliding, barn-style doors. No need to flip up the mattress!
clever....
But then you need room on left and right. And not much room up there.
@@rosylemons it wouldn't need to come out beyond where it is already, you only need space for two tracks inside. It would essentially be as much or slightly more space inward as the doors are now. You roll the door to the left or right, and because you have two tracks, you don't take up outward space.
Or even just switching the doors to curtains would make for easier access.
This looks fabulous, lovely home and lady. And let's not forget that cute dog. I like the filming. All focus on the owner and lifestyle.
tineke joldersma I’m pretty sure all footage is by Ariel herself. Looks like Ariel herself recorded the interview and sent it over to them along with archive footage from her channel. Her channel has a lot of interesting information from bird feeder setup to gardening to cooking.
The dog 's name is Burley.
Have watched a lot of homestead tours and this one is probably my favorite so far. What a great set up and a wonderful way to arrange your life. I hope more people move in this direction. Thanks for the great video.
What an amazing person you are..thank you for sharing your lovely friend and life!
I've really missed Ariel's channel. Glad to see she is doing well.
Same here
Snap!
I have learned so much from Ariel’s Channel, absolutely miss her!!!
Me too
I have been following Ariel for nearly the entire time she has had her TH-cam channel and highly recommend her blog and her channel when she returns to TH-cam. Every video she has posted is chock full of great information as well as being very entertaining. Ariel has a gift for teaching and explaining things. Over the years, i have particularly enjoyed her gardening and cooking videos. If people want to see what real off grid, tiny house life is like, they should follow Ariel. She does not sugar coat things and offers practical solutions to questions about tiny house living. Thank you for highlighting Ariel and her tiny home.
Amen. I miss her TH-cam channel so much. I learned so much from her.
What's here yt account?
@@blace1200 in description
i love explorring all the different tiny home builds, thanx for sharing. beautiful!
Ariel does have a nice life. I've been following her story for awhile now. Although it's not something I can currently do, her lifestyle is an inspiration.
This is the way we all should be living.
In yet 20 s it's ok. Never again!♡
Living like this I enjoy so much but not any more get to old do that
the live is not for "all". But its amazing ... i live 5 jears this way, i never go back.
Yes indeed!!
No, no it's not. It's ok for some but I certainly wouldn't want that life. Besides, wilderness doesn't need billions taking it over. We do enough of that!
Wonderful share! I’m off-grid too and just learned how to split wood - it’s so rewarding!! As are most things I’ve learned while living this way ❤️
Do you have your channel ?
@@saketdeshmukh6881 it seems she has click on her pictures it would direct you there
I love your bed of flowers surrounding your home. It truly makes your tiny house feel like a home. Also, your pup is so adorable!
what a gorgeous tiny house! the fact that it`s self sufficient just makes it even better!
Ariel has a very beautiful life and I truly appreciate her sharing it with all of us and for you guys to help share it too. She is a great inspiration to live a meaningful life and trying other ways of living that may be better suited to each of our unique lives.
Mike Woods Well said. I wish you you luck on your lifes journey and may you find meaning in all that you do. Namaste 🙏
@@Just-Nikki Thank you! I hope you do the same!
She has her own fabulous YT channel.
To pay for her of grid expenses yes
@@thugbob2timestwice What do you mean?
@@joshreece9796 Under her video the last few lines tells you where you can send money, contribute to her channel
Nothing wrong with that.
Thank you for being so truthful and honest about your build and what you are doing. This is what I'm looking for
I'm so happy this channel exists, it provides a ton of inspiration.
We have been living in our self-built homestead for ten years now. Raised our daughter here. Our best advice for someone wishing to homestead in a cold climate (I guess anywhere) would be to super insulate. Everything thereafter will be easier if you have a tight homestead 😊 Best wishes from SW Wisconsin!
Aww thanks for putting together this lovely little glimpse into life here at Fy Nyth!
Hi Ariel. We've all missed you! 😘
You are amazing - thank you for sharing your life with us!
I love this video. What an inspiration! The flower beds around the tiny house are amazing!! I love them!!
The flow of your videos is so smooth that I never stop in the middle, I always watch them in one run!
That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback and for watching :)
Thank-you for bringing Ariel back to TH-cam, if only for this one time. I have missed her content for the past 7 months. This was very well put together.
So wonderful for you...I'm older now, not sure I could do it, but you are blessed to have accomplished this at your age. ♥️
Watched this several times & amazed more each time. Great job
She is living my dream except, I own a beautiful piece of property to do it. Working on doing it myself by next spring.
Good luck with your property. I hope it goes well and you end up with something you love. X
All the very best, you can do it :)
Good Luck! I also own a property. About a half acre. I am in the process of building a tiny home too. I am also starting a small garden. Not much yet, but I am getting there little by little.
good luck!! :)
Yes do it!! You got this!!!😊
I feel like Ariel is the OG tiny houser! She deserves madd respect. I hope she gets more followers from this. She has a wonderful catalog of videos that are useful for anyone, whether you live tiny or not!
This is the goal ❤️ thank you for showing me the vision. Your home is lovely.
Keep coming back to see your beautiful house ❤️❤️❤️. It’s my absolute favourite
THIS LADY IS SUPERWOMAN! I live on a bush homestead in Alaska (no road, back-pack or fly-in supplies) and after hauling water from the spring, splitting wood, etc find it too easy to RELAX. But Ariel does 10 times as much and isn't tired!!
I've been watching Ariel at Fy Nyth for many years. She's a lovely, smart and practical young woman. She made a quick video the other day but am hoping she's coming back for good. Thank you for the video.
Paradise! God bless you!thank you😊💓from Japan
You're so blessed to be young enough to be able to do the labor to make your life happy and healthy. God bless you dear. Thank you for the enjoyable tour and to visit with such a gracious hostess
Ariel has the perfect aesthetic and layout of any tiny house! She's a great example of hard work and how much you put into it is what you get out. Great practical attitude and work ethic.
Having watched Ariel for a number of years, I love to see her on this channel. I'm a city person love it and am not inclined to this type of lifestyle but I totally admire her. I hope its ok that I say this but she has a wish list on Amazon and if you can, check it out and send a little support to her. Watch her you tube and go to her blogs and see her share not only her strength but her talent. She is good at about everything. Her photography is wonderful.
This is very awesome! Congratulations! I love how beautiful you made everything. It's great to see a woman do all of this herself, and you do it so well. God Bless You!
Very cozy..nice, compact and comfortable. Truly independent.. thanks for sharing 😊🙏🏽
Loving this layout. Its nice to see a workable kitchen in a tiny house.
“The freedom of not having to spend my time earning income , gives me the freedom to spend my time doing other things I love doing more.” 💖💖💖 🌱🌱🌱
I've always wanted that 😔
Amen!
No alarm clock??? I wonder what that's like
@Cypress Warrior right!
Even better when what you love is being outside with your hands in dirt. I'm in the process of saving the money for a property so I can do this, but with sheep, chickens, and a milking goat.
She is the type of person I want to spend a week with and just soak up all the knowledge!
There’s lots of people you could learn this stuff from. But you probably call them “rednecks” and think they’re bad people for some reason.
@@charlesbrown4483 they are tho
I'm so impressed! I still want to do this once I retire for good. Thank you for the inspiration!
I remember watching her videos many years ago when she just got her wood stove. I can't believe it's been 6 years now! She's really done so well for herself and is living the dream!
The moment I saw the first picture of the tiny house, my immediat thoughts were: yeah, Ariel! 😊
Good to see that she's fine!
I hope she will come back to her YT channel...
I loved the idea of tiny houses in winter snow! It reminds me of the childhood home drawing I used to make.
Well done young lady! It brings me joy seeing life done right!
Love the fact that you're living your life on your own terms and in such a simplistic, yet creative way.
Fantastic!
i love this off grid house and the dog is adorable😍!!
This video was just incredibly awesome! Thank you so much. So inspiring, I’m going to look at your channel now. 😊 I am in Tasmania, Australia.
Love all the info you packed in very quickly, thank you! Wonderful video.
A great person living a quality life on her own terms. Much respect.
She literally went her own way
I'm planning on doing the same in 2 years. I'm so happy to see i am not crazy and living like this is really possible. Thank you for sharing 🌱
If you are wealthy, permanently not in a relationship and don't like to work a regular job, a trailer may be the life for you!
Thanks for this! I love your house so much and your way of life. All the best ❤
What an absolutely beautiful set-up you have! I love it. Thank you for sharing.
I really like your set up! Especially how you still have plants in your home. Your home has the perfect combo of cozy and airy feeling. Your raised beds are awesome too!
I love her cozy home, she's organized and tidy... It isn't just a cabin stuck in in the middle of nowhere with uncut brush, dusty dirt and with wood / trash everywhere like some that I've seen. Again, her garden is organized and neat, great job!
This! This is what I'm looking for! Been trying to move for months, hard to do with everything so expensive nowadays. This gives me hope, thank you :)
I love how Exploring Alternatives specializes in showing this level of love of life. 💕🧘🏽♀️
I’m impressed with everything she’s done!!
This is literally my dream, all of this. How refreshing 💕 Really lovely off grid living & how healing. Sustainable living is something I truly want, I love watching these videos 💕
This lady is truly an inspiration. It's something I have thought about for a long time and now my children are long grown up it's something I am considering seriously. I've been living in Turkey for over 18 years and my typical expat villa is not what I want any more. We have a lovely climate here for most of the year and many fairly remote areas. With all what has been going on these past two year and now watching this I think it may have just given me the kick I need to change my life. Thank you 🙂
Bless your precious heart...love how you are living! Be blessed beyond measure young lady!
I trully miss Ariel. I loved watching and learning from her. God bless you Ariel. You are surely missed.
what happened !
@@bklcheymaAriel has her other things like blogging, facebook I think and I do mean I think it had something to do with you tube and other issues about labeling the channels as adult only for kids etc.... so you may relax she is still here will all of her informational channel but on other stations. Glad to see your o our side. I trull wish with all my heart she would come back but I believe she is trully happy with what she has now. She's a beautiful heart & soul.
Bkl cheyma I thought if you published a video as child watchable, then you’re ok. I wonder why she can’t do this
@@citten4u Thank you
Oh wow so great to see Ariel and her beautiful place here. Ariel was my introduction to tiny house living 😉🐶. It’s amazing how much work she puts into her garden and land around. She’s a genuine off grid gal who can do it all. 👍🏼❣️ All the best Ariel!
almost 7 years now... wow.. I remember watching some of the first videos of Ariel...
well done Ariel!
