Living Off Grid w/ Jake & Nicole Probably. I think it would be fun to do it for a year or two but my hair is so unmanageable that I could not handle the outside shower easily
Nicole like the way you are so respectful and reverent with nature, like the roses and vegetables from your garden and when you are preparing food. ... Jake you too !
Some times your videos make me cry, only because i long to find my sole mate to share this life with..an seeing you both doing it is so inspiring and so beautiful to see. That is the priceless thing to find that no amount of money can buy. is a loving partner to share life with. love you guys both
Maybe we can fix your problem cuz i to feel the way u do & it sucks big time. Lets start with ,female right? Age? Ect? What r u looking for? Lol its a start right? plus u never know & having same hopes & dreams is definitely a start & we both have same taste in vids thats more than some people right there.
I knew a guy in Fairbanks Alaska that lived in a yurt in for quite a few years he was an artist type and a good one.I was his neighbor living in a 24 ft diameterTeepee.Lived in it for two winters.That was 1982-83.Now I live in a very super insulated 24x24 framed cabin.Love it.
In regards to the last video using the boards to fill that dip. If you need to fill it more or have other lowspots, fill it with the brush, branches, and saplings you cleared out. Especially any muddy areas.
Looks like the rounds are pretty seasoned and dry? Very nice of your neighbors to offer up that wood for you! That’s what I love about a small little community your neighbors all kinda look out for each other. I was wondering if there are any other vegans around you to share that life style with? Wow!! How sweet is that that Nicole has started her little Yoga group on the island!, she rocks and is so sweet
I just started watching your off-grid videos and they are great. When I first saw Jake and heard him talk I thought "this guy looks and sounds so familiar, he reminds of some guy that does martial arts videos". So I checked the channels I'm subscribed to and there you were, Martial Arts and Kung Foo by Jake Mace. I watched a lot of your videos. Your new videos on living off-grid are amazing, you guys are great. And Nicole, who I saw in your video about 5 dangerous moves to stop an attacker "or something like that", has such a contagious smile it's unreal. Everytime she is on camera and smiling about how great it is to be where your at I find myself smiling 😊. You two are incredible and I pray that you keep doing what you love to do. Much love to both of you.
Hi Nicole and Jake, I'm in the Ottawa Gatineau area of Canada. I began following you about a year ago I think, and the first video I saw was when Jake was just giving up his garden that he created to teach people. You were both on your way to move in together and travel to different places on our beautiful planet. I feel like you both fell in love and so much on the same wave of life that you wanted to explore your dreams together. I forget the place but you were on a trip and doing work together to make the money for your expenses, some jobs gave you a place to stay and wonderful people to interchange with, and lots of wonderful food to share by their sharing with you both. I think it was two or three months ago that I noticed your Yurt Building and planting roots into one of Canada's lovely forests. Wow, do I ever love what you're doing, and I am so so inspired by you both. Jake, you're just doing everything I love but never had the chance yet. From your martial arts to gardening and completely insightful vegan knowledge, to your lovely relationship with Nichole. Bud, you're absolutely rocking it. Thank you from one guy to another, it's a wonderful gift you share, and I'm very grateful to you. Nichole, you're a lovely woman, and it's so nice to see you and Jake in love doing all of this together, huge congratulations to you two. I love your Yoga and I need to get back into it... I was doing ok but then stopped, so I truly love your motivation and examples. Love your cooking and vegan explanations also. Cooking together is like making love in a different way. Actually just doing the things together as you both are is all love. Thank you from the heart, I am so happy that I found you both, and thanks a million for these video documentaries of your adventures, you are truly inspirational and spiritually lifting. Big hugs and my best wishes always. Jeffrey Stephen Rafuse, Canadian sculptor & art director
I never heard of how the pores of the wood get primed with sun energy and become more explosive and hotter, but I'll bet a dollar that it will dry a lot faster!
Split it so you can handle it easy big at first an so it can dri some...split it more as you need it...if it's to dry it burn s way to fast n hot an can burn your fort down...js
@@badcat4707 Yep, sounds like way too much pot. Leaving the wood in the sun dries the wood, which tightens the wood pores as it dries...... but as for priming the wood with sun energy... yeah... NOT!
It seemed like he actually believed that. Jack,s in for some surprised. For one, his back is going to be done by 40. And ya gotta love, Hey, Jack - go get some natural stone. "Yes honey.". Jack, go get some blocks. I gotta practice my yoga. I need some girl energy. blah, blah, blah. "Yes, honey.". Jesus Christ, I'm glad I'm not married. Run, Jack, run!!
I love the creativity in this video! The rocks are a natural and beautiful touch and the Rose tutorial was nice! Such an interesting life you guys are living! Love!
I must say, going thru so far, this is very inspiring. I am impressed with the work you both are doing and your skills in learning the construction methods needed to do this work. You have actually given me ideas for the summer of 2023 in building my own Yurt. Nice job, good editing, and congratulations on all your progress. Scott Alan - ZW Construction, Colorado.
Glad to see you using a lot of thinset. Most don't use enough when tiling. Would've liked to see you back butter the tiles too, but with the amount of thinset you used that should still fill the cavities on the back completely. The whole goal of tiling is to make a tile surface that is impossible to remove except in splinters. Keep up the good work.
One thing I do when trying to get a heavy object into back of truck is slide it up a 2x6. You can also screw a pvc pipe to the board and that reduces the friction while sliding it up.. Also. if you want to create a nice fence, stack those up
Looks good hope your tiles don't crack and break as easily as mine did. Even logs settling in the stove gave enough pressure to turn the ones under the stove into dust. Heat and tiles, unless designed to withstand heat, just dont mix. If and when you decide to update this i suggest using red fire brick, its also super cheap and holds heat well. Plus you can paint em or cover them in cob and decorate to cover them up.
Loved the local rock boarder under the tile beneath the woodstove. Very impressive! When we put in our stove, I used some beautiful hard wood boards I had on hand, but yours is nicer. I also liked what you are doing with the Nicole rose petals. My wife would like that. Nice video.
To encourage more blooms cut back your spent rose back to a leaf that has 5 leaves. If the lead leaf of 5 is pointing inward do not cut otherwise the stem will grow inwards so cut further down. You may find a dark spot on the main stem at the joining point of the 5 leaf set this is called the bud eye cut just above it as this will be the the point in which a new stem will grow into a rose. You can cut bak to a leaf which has 3 leaves this will not produce a new flower this year but will produce what is called blind wood and may produce new flowers next year .Good Luck John in sunny Spain.
I was just going to say the same thing pinkyt67. My late husband and I have done a lot of tiling, stonework etc., and he taught me to to "butter " the tiles and the surface they were going to be "glued" to. Always worked beautifully and we never had a fail. Take care everyone and stay safe. Sandie from Ontario Canada.
The wood stove is looking great in the Yurt. The Nicole Rose is so gorgeous. You both look so natural in the Yurt and it looks so comfortable. Jake worked super hard with the big wood chunks. Glad you can teach some yoga again, Nic. Your lives are falling into place. 🐱💞
I am so happy for you having your first yoga class there. I can feel your enthusiasm and passion about it. Awesome. I am only just starting out myself, but just at home by myself. :D
Just to let y'all know, click baits really work. Surfing channels and someone caught my eye and I had to click play. Now I am hooked on your lifestyle and what y'all are building. Greetings from Mississippi Gulf Coast, USA.
Man im moving to where ya all live no seat belts required and definatly no building codes or inspections like the lower 48 has. Reminds me of the good ol days .
So true. If they don't get at least 10 inches of a high R Value insulation under that floor & seal it off they will be having frozen feet & more. Mold is also an issue with hurts.
Is it pine wood you have? If so pine burns hot and leaves a residue in the flue which is from the pine rosin. Make sure you clean it every year. Or that rosin could become flammable and burn.
I agree. I have a Jotul stove. If you burn pine like that you will get tons of creosote. It catches fire and burns like a volcano. An old timer put a beer or soda can in the fire each time. It burns off the creosote. I do this every time I light my stove. It really works ! I save all pie pans and alum. containers. It saves my chimney from a bad dangerous chimney fire. I have had a few and it is not easy to put out. Once the creosote catches on fire it has to burn itself out ! Scary too. Sounds like a roaring jet engine. FYI
Regardless of the type of wood, you need to be concerned about creosote buildup in the chimney. It's true that wood high in rosin content (or 'pitchy' wood) will add to the problem, but moisture content matters at least as much. I can't overstate that point. Splitting those rounds sooner rather than later would be better than 'as you need it'. Not only will it dry faster but (with most wood species), the drier it gets, the harder it'll be to split. It took me too many years to learn to bump the dry firewood thing up that yearly priority list (we're also living on The Wet Coast of Canada). I find that after an overnight of slow burning, it's a good thing to open up the stove throttle and burn it hot enough to clean out any residue, first thing in the morning. There's no such thing as too much properly seasoned, bone dry firewood. Cheers from Texada Island!
@@offgridiot True! Pine is the worst. This is because it has a flammable sap. The concern for people that burn wood. I am a wood burner myself. I preferably prefer Oak or Poplar.
Them veggies got you strong put a samll log lift on that truck will save your back in the long-term so you can enjoy your hard work without pain great video
I was thinking that in another of video need good firewood stock and get stone collection for roads so don't get vehicle stuck....rounds stones are great for walkways too....Doing great job guys!!!
Love your channel I noticed your sweater before you said anything about it. I believe my wife would love one so will check it out. Keep up the good work on your channel thanks for the content.😀😀😀
Whats the advantages of living in a yurt? I imagine it stands up to wind well because the shape disipates forces compared to a flat surface. But theres not much wind where you are protected by the trees. In Mongolia they have heavy winds so its a good design there. Seems a little awkward to make divisions on the inside for closets and rooms.
That wood looks like pine. Only burn outside or you may end up with a chimney fire. If you’re able to, seasoned hardwood works best in the wood burner. Another potential use for the pine is to build a Hugelkultur Bed. (Yes it’s spelled correctly...just google it.) You could potentially do that down your driveway and line with the fruit trees.
If I remember an earlier episode you talked about an existing culvert that drains across your driveway causing that swampy area? I was thinking possibly digging out the wet area across the driveway and placing a culvert to tie into the existing culvert and run it off to the side of driveway. Then covering the new culvert with rock and and extend the rock out to your approach into driveway to level it out. The driveway might get pretty sloppy in the winter and to gravel all the way into the yurt might be beneficial as well.
LOL, Good one, totally clutch. Looks like your moving in the right direction. You might learn to make corn bread biscits in a fry pan and in the dutch oven. It's won't replace bread what your want a sandwich but it's still bread. kinda.
Hipster in the wild, I am sure their bodies will be found in the spring after the winter thaw. BTW, that is not enough wood for winter. We burn through that much in the Ozark region in Missouri through the winter.
Buenos días a todos en este momento me parece bien que se puedan publicar estás istorias ya q es difícil encontrar personas que comparten los trabajos por un mejor lugar y sus propios medios que hello alquiere ya que ambos trabajan por su propio bien es perfecto ése rismo para más una mejor forma de vida yá que encuentren las posibilidades para más mejorará su propio bien gracias a Dios por la vida y los bendiga siempre

"The wood can get primed with sun energy". You learn something new every day.
Before it was called "drying your firewood". :-)

T. Hardy Thank you! 💜
I love the creativity in this video! The rocks are a natural and beautiful touch and the Rose tutorial was nice! Such an interesting life you guys are living! Love!
Paula Greenwood Thank you!
Should be atleast 4" of masonry under that stove. That place looks awesome. You guys have it going on. Jake is a lucky man.
The yurt is starting to come together nicely😊
Love you guys! Keep up the great work & finding a balance between real life & digital life ✌️

Looking dapper in the suspenders, dude. Put a pan of water on your fireplace to add moisture in the air. Occasionally
With rose peddles.
Jake spreads that thin set like a pro team jake#1!!
Hay jake got a good deal on the load of wood
Yous guys work wonderful together
Tip for next time, always back butter your tiles/stone with cement before laying 😊

That is super cool !! Love that idea. That's going look awesome i'll watch for the next episode

Looking at him raising that wood onto the truck just made me hold my breath. I know he is young but moves like that can bring some damage to backs.
Sadly, he'll feel it when he gets older.
@@kurtbaker4078 And then it's too late, there is a saying, if your stupid the body will suffer.
He pop a nut. He will learn tje hard way
Beautiful life beautiful food healthy joyful days
The wood stove is looking great in the Yurt. The Nicole Rose is so gorgeous. You both look so natural in the Yurt and it looks so comfortable. Jake worked super hard with the big wood chunks. Glad you can teach some yoga again, Nic. Your lives are falling into place. 🐱💞
The both of you are Awesome!
Your yurt is really homely now,congrats on all the firewood.
you need to get some rain barrels to collect the rain water.
Pacific yurts offered a kit to collect it off of the roof of the yurt. Maybe they do this in later vids!
Sun energy with fire wood lol...
T Smith ya, that made me laugh akso
So inspiring
I am so happy for you having your first yoga class there. I can feel your enthusiasm and passion about it. Awesome. I am only just starting out myself, but just at home by myself. :D
Thanks for sharing another Great video.
Rich Oldschool Thank you!
Coming along so nicely.
Clip your roses down farther just before the main leaves. You will get way more roses for it. Great video.
Those Mellons look wonderful 😊😂❤️

Next you need to insulate the bottom.of your yurt!!! Or you will freeze this winter!!!
So true. If they don't get at least 10 inches of a high R Value insulation under that floor & seal it off they will be having frozen feet & more. Mold is also an issue with hurts.
Cant wait for another videos from u both on the stoves n more cooking . Want to see ur decoration the interiorsof the yurt

Класная девченка! Молодцы!
was concentrating on tile laying until a mysterious rock came out.
Jake de lucky man, take care!
8:00 this is why you always do a dry-fit first, before refitting with actual glue / cement.
Incrível....Espetacular
If you soak the rocks first they dry slower and actually stick easier with the thin set.
Tom Stack we didn’t know that. Thank you for the advice 😊
I agree Jake yes that shirt is clutch.....
Mike Nichols 😂
Lol......”The pores of the wood gonna absorb sun energy”....haha
A couple of those wood pieces might make a couple of stools if there is no resin problem. The spring rolls looked yummy. 😋
Looks great 👍 it’s really coming along how exciting
Very cool what you guys are doing, congrats on the new wood stove .

Hi from the future, People definitely still say clutch.
watching you guys from Japan Philippines
Love you and our Yurt Life Babe!
Wow looks awesome 😎
Love your channel I noticed your sweater before you said anything about it. I believe my wife would love one so will check it out. Keep up the good work on your channel thanks for the content.😀😀😀
JDL - John Thank you! This sweater is definitely my favorite. The company we got it from is piña Styles.
Living in yurt.... thats amazing ideas for you both. Have a nice day my friend...👍👍👍👍
Best regard from me in Indonesia.
making lunch and stress relief !
Really ok good luck
Nicole, Your custom pottery teapot always reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean... I don't know why😂😛😱😉
Brigitte LM I love that movie!!
Next time, why not split the logs into smaller pieces before loading... before you blow out your back? Ask me how I know this!
It's so inspiring watching you work together on projects
I love her rocks!
That tree must have been massive
Make a swamp cooler out of one of your windows.
It will keep you so happy and comfortable.
Nicole said it's very humid there, swamp cooler will only add more. A basic fan would be better, if not an AC unit
I have a Harmon Pellet Stove, it also is great.
Whats the advantages of living in a yurt? I imagine it stands up to wind well because the shape disipates forces compared to a flat surface. But theres not much wind where you are protected by the trees. In Mongolia they have heavy winds so its a good design there. Seems a little awkward to make divisions on the inside for closets and rooms.
Weathered stone from the ocean shores would have looked nice too.
dont underestimate how much wood you might need for winter
agreed...when you think you have enough...always get 4x more...just to be safe. lol
Kanzee, 4x and then some more!
Ya that's not a winter's worth there
if you let the wood dry out it will burn better, dont know about priminng with sun energy. but I do love a large wood pile.
This is stoked man.
Be careful of black mold since it rains so often
I wonder how effective a dehumidifier would be.
That wood looks like pine. Only burn outside or you may end up with a chimney fire. If you’re able to, seasoned hardwood works best in the wood burner.

Jake..any plans to place a culvert in the swamp and cover it with rock? The driveway approach could be leveled as well.
Maybe...what were you thinking Chuck?
