    Traditionally used by nomads in Central Asia, yurts are much less common in the west, however these well insulated, portable structures are certainly starting to become a popular option amongst those seeking an affordable, alternative home.

    Brett and Beth together with their son Sequoia have established a beautiful lifestyle in their yurt and on their land, where they grow food, live (almost) off the grid and are working on regenerating the land through permaculture.
    The couple also have the benefit of working from home as educators in permaculture and homesteading though their website: highsierrapermaculture.com/

    I wish more people would understand that Yurt originates from Mongolia and we call it “Ger”. We have been using it forever. Most Mongolians use it to this day. My grandma have one and I grew up in it with her. At that time I didn’t realize how special it was. I am glad people are finding our ger(yurt) super efficient.

    My wife and I chose not to have children, however, if we had done it differently, we most definitely would have wanted to do something like this for our child. I think this is so important, especially in today's throw-away society, to know what is necessary to live a fruitful life. I believe I would homeschool as long as it made my child feel fulfilled. I realize that maybe at a certain age, a child might want something else as far as friends and such, but as I've watched many TH-cam channels on different styles of living and raising families, I believe we are coming back around to what's important not only for us as humans, but for the earth and sustaining a lifestyle that is conducive to giving back to the earth and taking care of it as it takes care of us. My wife is great about buying second hand, and recycling which helps us to not only care for the earth but to save money. We love what this couple has done and as we near retirement, we will be able to sell our home and live a much smaller life with a smaller footprint. These videos inspire and excite us! We have lived tiny before, but as our parents have gotten older, they needed to be close to family which is why we have a house/duplex at this point, so they can have a place to live and still provide all of us with privacy. I'm not trying to write a book here, so I will close by wishing all the best to this amazing family and thanking them for sharing their lives with us!

    I love homes like this where everything in it has a story. That makes living there so special. And their son is growing up in a gorgeous environment. He will be able to live off the land and have an amazing life. What a beautiful family. We have an off grid property. Only 12 acres. But we are talking about possibly adding a few more acres. A man who has about 100 acres behind us has offered to sell us a little more land. I like the idea of having at least 20 acres but if we can get enough to have 25 that would be nice for my husband. He hunts. And I might try at some point. But I think the animals are so beautiful. We have a lot of deer and turkeys. hope we can have something as nice as this family one day. Thank you for making this video. Leslye

    This whole reclamation idea is the way to go. It keeps useful material out of the landfills, and it makes building a home more affordable. I am looking at that kitchen and thinking that it would have been a crime to toss it all into the dumpster. Good cabinets and counters, double sinks, an island. All useful and much needed. Think about it; all over North America people are renovating or tearing down buildings. And all that is headed into landfill. What about recycling the good stuff? A decent one room condo is going for over $250 000.00 these days. And it took less than $50 000.00 to build this house. Think about it.

    • @Amanda_in_wonderland
      @Amanda_in_wonderland 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Habitat for humanity restore does just that. It takes donations of furniture and building supplies ie: cabinets, lights, sinks, doors, countertop, toilets.... and then sells them and uses the money to help others. And they pick up all you do is call and make an appointment and they come and pick it up whatever your getting rid of. It counts as a donation to shop there so you can also write off the stuff you buy in your taxes 👍🏻 and you keep good stuff from rotting in the dump. I’ve found so really great stuff for a fraction of what I would have paid in store

    • @r.blakehole932

      Sandra Nelson I have reclaimed a lot of stuff over the years. Keep in mind that reclaimed materials and furniture can be very economical, and in some cases older stuff that is reclaimed is a lot better than newer things. But, the romance of reclaiming stuff fades for many people when faced with the time investiture need to make reclaimed materials actually work for you. There is an enormous time investment that is required.

We as a culture have become such a throw away society and its driving force is corporate greed.

    They should line the walls with tapestry rugs and make it really a beautiful showcase the way the Mongolians do! Just love yurts! They are amazing!!!! So beautiful and easy to setup with little need for much and everything is typically cosmetic so it's very simple to do especially with nomadic farming. 💚💚💚💚💚💚stay green fingered 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
    PS I would consider figuring out a way to offer heated flooring if you plan to stay put in one spot, only if that's an option. But for basic nomadic living that wouldn't work too easily unless the flooring could also be disassembled and reassembled every move. But it would be worth the luxury to have better heating especially in this cold climate.
