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, 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!

I am there now. Had a big garden and my knee is screaming at me. I have had to ask for help today with my peppers and tomatoes. I’m thankful for family.
Good to hear you are feeling better 😍💕🤗
Don't overdo too soon Ariel!
Feel better
It's a looong time from winter in my part of the country.
Sorry you were sick, better days ahead
Love your honesty
Sorry to hear about your dental adventures. Glad you're getting back into the swing of things. The hummingbirds can always put a smile on our faces🙂
So glad that you are better. Was wondering if you were OK. Sanding you healing and strength. 🙏
I had a grandfather that died from a tooth infection. I go to get cleaned etc every 4 months.
Glad you’re doing better.
I'm glad you're feeling better. Tooth pain is no fun. Plus it's outrageously expensive to get it fixed.

Ariel so sorry for root canal issues, have had similar issues. They can kick your butt. Praying for speedy recovery, and thankful you are respecting your healing process.
Hope you make a good recovery and that your husband and friends rally round and help out.sometimes rest is the best.best wishes and prayers.
I didn't see your hummers, but I heard them! Glad you are recovering, tooth issues are horrible.
Get well....
I am pleased you posted this video - I have been concerned about you. Hope your health is back to 'normal' very soon.
Take care of you first
Timely for me, Ariel. Fell on stairs when cat raced down them into me and broke my ankle. 3 gardens all bursting with produce needing something done and of course all the daily chores and I'm sitting with leg elevated and ice packs. I also suffer from ME/CFS and am already very reduced in strength so even walking boot few steps around the house is leaving me gasping. May we both see improvement soon :)
Kat B
I also have ME/CFS plus fibromyalgia. Try doing without sugar or anything unnatural like sugar substitutes and soy. You may be sensitive to something you don't even know about! I use monk fruit for sweetener. That's what helps me.
Feel better!
Me too...slipped on wet stirs in my wellie boots. Went down like a sack of spuds! Damaged my hand bracing my self for the fall...so nothing got done for weeks & weeks! My worst nightmare! I had to quickly learn patience...😅 not easy for someone who’s name means “Hebrew of the bee” like busy as!! 😂
12 weeks has passed & Im luckily on deck again. That time resting gave me time to think & plan new projects at least, oh & watching plenty of my favourite tubers! Glad you are up & about again tho 👨🌾👍🏻
Kat, may God bless you & help your bones mend well. 🙏🏼
@@gigiw.7650 Thanks for the kind reply! I've had ME/CFS for 41 years and have found what is most important for maintaining a workable level of symptoms is to most importantly eat only organic anything. Some supplements are also essential and I've gotten most help by using only organic A2 cow's milk that I use to make kefir. Kefir has completely healed all of the gut issues I had for so many years of ME/CFS, I'm not 'cured' of course but a major difference in symptoms after taking kefir every day.
I prayed for your ankle and the Lord spoke to me and said to say, “I am healing your ankle now, get up and walk!” He also said don’t be a doubting Thomas 🙂
Bless you, ma’am.
So sorry you’ve had such a tooth ordeal! I had the same several years ago, and finally it had to be taken out. It is VERY hard to be sick if you are single, I’ve faced it many times. Glad you have Clay to help you, and you are not alone. Prayers that you feel totally better soon.💓
I'm so glad you are fine now, I was wondering why I wasn't seeing your videos
Having tooth pain & infection is horrible! Been there! I had problems with every root canal I had! Hope you feel better & that you'll be 100% very soon!👍🤗
You have been missed- hopefully, you are on the mend and will regain your strength- these bodies take a lot of work - 😔💝
Timely for me too. On Friday I fell and broke my humorous bone. Will likely need surgery. Of course there are things here also that will no get done. Thank God my three daughters in law as great. Hope you heal quickly! God bless.
Preaching to the choir. Been there done that & it suxs. Glad you're feeling better.
Every root canal I've had has ended in heartache and empty pockets. I won't ever get another one. I had chronic fatigue for a few years and I believe having the root canal teeth all extracted has improved my health greatly
I’m so glad you’re ok, I was getting so worried. I’m really sorry about the dental issues, that must have really kicked your butt to take you out of commission like that. Will pray for a rapid healing!
DITTO!!! 🙏🏿
I'm so sorry for your trouble!! Glad to hear you are getting better. Be good to yourself as you fully recover and we'll see you when you are ready🕊
So grateful you’re feeling better. You’ve been missed. 👍🌻🌴
I’m so glad you’re doing better now. The underlying stress alone is exhausting & add that to the tooth issue. You’re thankfully a strong person Ariel. Hugs & love to you, Clay, & all your critters ❤️
So sorry to hear about root canal issues! I had a bad experience with one tooth with four root canals on same tooth. For some people it is difficult to get out all the material and it gets reinfected. I will opt for removal from now on. Wishing you blessings and speedy recovery 🙏
We’re you given an antibiotic when you got your root canal?
I had same issue. Loads of antibiotics. Long road to recovery!
@@mircat28 yes
Dental pain is the worst. My body rejected all root canals. Infection and dry sockets. Been wiped out for two weeks. I am sorry. Expensive too!
Take care of your self
Tooth pain always have garlic in jar with honey two teaspoons no pain . Feel better .
Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. I had a root canal done and they are not fun.
Yes, its not cool being under the weather, root canals are pretty rough too. Glad you're coming out of it👍🏼😀
Throat like glass very sore I use warm honey and cinnamon one tsp every few hours . It works
Glad to hear you're feeling a little better. I hope your husband helps you out when you're not feeling well. Take care of yourself and rest as much as you can. 🤗💕😊
Was thinking the same thing. Hope he was able to help him as she helped with his job in harvesting.

@@jessicacurtis4199 Gee are we a little bitter? Not that it matters but I have a HUSBAND and we're in the marriage happily TOGETHER...imagine that in 2022...
My husband and I had @ 4 acres with sheep, chickens, and geese out in the willywags of Vermont. In mid winter one year he came home from work and wasn't feeling well so I drove him to the doctor's for treatment. By the time we got into the car to come home I knew I was coming down with it too. It was a robust case of the flu and both of us headed for bed. We shared a puke bucket during the night since our only bathroom in our 1846 farmhouse was downstairs. It snowed all night and by morning one of us had to water and feed the critters. I drew the short straw so I hauled myself out of bed, suited up, and waded out into thigh high snow towards the barns out in the yard. All my joints were killing me, I had a fever, and even my skin and hair hurt. I hauled water and feed to the appropriate recipients, and made sure everyone was alright. I made it back to the house, kicked off my boots, and crawled back into bed. It was nip and tuck there for a while but somehow you rise to the task at hand particularly if you have animals depending on you. That was 35 years ago, but when I think about it I smile that I was able to get it done. I hear what you say about having a plan B for the just in cases and I admire your grit and fortitude when it comes to the work you do.
Glad to see your recovered. Being healthy as you are may be why your better. Those that are in poor health and get slammed with something like you did have a much harder time.
Glad you ar feeling better again and yes having animals and stuff to do SUCKS when you are sick, quite a few winters ago I was also sick in bed... twice a day I went out to check the critters, feed em and then back in under my blanket... but the 3 days in bed wasn't so bad... it's the 2 weeks of "weakness" afterwards... everything was such a chore and I was huffing and puffing at the smallest chores and they took much longer than usual
I’m so sorry about your pain and being so uncomfortable. I’ve dealt with that.. more than I can count on two hands!
I actually switched toothpaste (hello toothpaste) and the breaking down of my teeth stopped. They aren’t all the way healed but they don’t hurt and aren’t showing any signs of infection.
I’m going to pray for complete healing so I need you to believe for it ♥️
I wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy! I’m glad you’re back!
♥️Kari
So glad you are back…..I was getting concerned…. So sorry to hear about your dental issue…I’m not sure the dentist was a military dentist…I have had issues too about when I had a dental surgery with a dentist that was a military…He was rough and it gave me problems also.. So glad you are recovering…. Take care… You are in my prayers…
I knew something was up with you...dental probs can really sap your health and energy. Hope you continue to heal and regain your strength. Napping is a wonderful thing!
I’m glad you are starting to feel better. I’m on day 5 of the 🦠 and am hoping the worst is behind me. I managed to keep my animals alive but that’s about it so I feel ya!
I’m glad you’re feeling better Ariel. Good topic as yes, even with good health and best intentions unexpected things can happen. When we don’t live close enough to town for food delivery etc you need some good back up. Like you, I’ve had similar tooth troubles and it is soooo frustrating. All you can do is keep doing what you do as it sounds perfect to me. Rest up a little for a while. I’ll try the other platform again, last time it was a bit slow I think. Take care!! 🤗
Blessings. Had similar tooth issues. Finally put a pin in for an implant which my body rejected after eight months and monthly antibiotics. Was so rotten oral surgeon pulled it out with his fingers. Yup. Pretty bad. Then he put a bone graft in there and that helped bone grow. NOW oral surgeon said he would do another implant free. But my dr said” why would you do that??? “. I said your correct. So I am toothless in that spot but my health has improved!!
i hope things are getting better for you. i know how you feel and can sympathize with you. sometimes you just can't help it if things pile up. but have faith, hang in there you will get caught up and things will get better.
So happy to hear your feeling better. I found out the hard way, in the last few months, how tooth infections make you very sick. As a result, I have had a lot of dental work in the last few months. Both the infections and the medication kicked my butt! Funny thing, I pratice preventive medicine e.g., teeth cleaned 3 times a year, and periodic dental visits. Take care. Love your videos.
Glad you both feel better ❤️🩹
Sorry you were sick and are feeling better now.
I went thru a 5 day sickness recently and as you said what gets done is nothing. Some weeds are getting cut off instead of pulled. Luckily I had plenty of food ready to just grab. I slept and slept. My cat Smokey would give me a poke every few hours and I would rouse enough to get food and meds. I am behind in outside work too.
Hope you all recover well!
Sorry that you had root canal problems and were sick ... they can definitely be problematic ... so I'm glad you're back on track and I look forward to seeing you more soon! Be well 😊
I know what you mean. When you are sick everything else stands still that needs to be done. Last year I had an arthritis attack in my spine and couldn't do anything for three weeks except lay in bed and try to heal. I;d only drag myself out of bed to feed myself and the cats. I'm so glad I didn't have any other animals or they might have died. I use to have animals, but not anymore since I'm older. Take care and keep up the healing process.
Being as prepared as you can (fire wood, water animals) is wise. I’m still very fatigued after being hit hard with COVID 25 days ago. I am NEVER ill so not very patient. I have a supportive husband and family and friends/neighbors. Always good to have neighbors even far away neighbors checking in. So good to see you up and doing OK. Dental issues are serious…I hope you get that worked out soon. I am so grateful for mostly good health!❤️
Glad you're on the path to recovery. I've only had two fillings in my life... and lost both teeth so I'm not having any more. One led to a root canal and now I'm feeling grateful the tooth shattered before it could be filled! Not a fan of the messing around (or the bills) as they try to save it. Had another tooth pulled under lockdown rather than risk the complications / expense but I have to say that infection & recovery was HARD. I'm at a point where falsies aren't so scary; especially as I'm caring for my mum and can't be out of action more than is unavoidable.
I am glad you are on the upswing. I make a soup of cabbage, can tomatoes, onions, green pepper, carrot and celery some Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper for winter. Maybe add fresh cilantro a supposed metal detox in case of things stewing in there desolving metals and spreading throughout you. The soup seems to cut down invaders in the first half and not on the upswing but you may want to try a little to see since you are still sleeping every day. 1/4-1/2 cup watered down. Dandelion or liver detox. Research and check with your physician first.
Praying you regain your strength. I absolutely know how a infected root canal feels. It's awful. Sorry I didn't know, with gardening and canning/ preserving, I haven't been on You Tube much. Feel better 💕
I have been following you for so many years and it's so nice to see your journey. I'm sure that every day is different with all the projects that go into trying to live as independently as possible. Even though there probably isn't a "typical" day in the life for you, I would still live to see a day in the life for you. I love your cooking videos and I know you have said before you only eat breakfast a few times a year. I'd love to see a day of what you eat and do at Fy Nyth. I'm a 28 year old female and I've been following you religiously since I was 23 or so and have always felt that you were such a strong female inspiration, I would love to see a full day in your life. Thank you for sharing your journey with us
I’m surprised you got a root canal. Those are very bad and would recommend you having that pulled out. The reason being is that it will always harbor bacteria and can also be a source of cancer but they won’t tell you that at the dentist office. You should do some research on this and see what you think. There is information on UA-cam.
I'm so glad you're feeling better. I always take a few drops of tea tree oil in some water and gargle and swish and spit. It's a wonderful antibacterial I get oral thrush quite often because of steroid medication I'm on and it clears the thrush up that night in one day. And it's all natural.
Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Hawaii was locked down longer than all other states. I nursed an abcess for over 1 year with cloves along the gum line. When I finally got to the dentist, root canal or extraction were my options. I was referred to this incredible endodontist. If you ever need another intervention, fly to Oahu and see my endodontist. Dr. Paulo G. Nogueira 🏝🌋🌊
Glad you're feeling better. Take care and God bless.
Oh Ariel, sorry you were down and out 😔 We pray for your full-recovery sooner than later. Hope your infection heals up. Sometimes the medicines (antibiotics) can also wipe you out. Be careful, afterwards you need to build up your microbiome again with probiotics. Also Vit. D3, K2, C, Magnesium and Zink. Oh yeah, plenty of onions (quercetin), garlic, salt, etc can boost your immune system. But you probably know all of this already.
Epsom-salt foot baths also help to detox, relax and replenish magnesium.
Godspeed
🙏
Feel better, Ariel. Take care!
Hi , Ariel
Just watching your channel and heard the ordeal you had with the tooth! Sounds awful - in the nhs in uk I had terrible tooth ache - offered root canal work over several visits - ( not an option - as live too far and work)! Had it excised but had so much pain for several weeks. I understand ! Glad you are ok now - looking forward to watching your vlogs
Glad you are feeling better. Hope you get back to 100% soon.
So glad your making a slow but steady recovery, take care of yourself.🥰
My dentist told me that he doesn't do root canals because they can cause underlying silent infections because they can never truly be cleaned. Teeth are made of many small tubes and it's impossible to clean them out completely and with root canal some infection could be constantly incubating in there. If you keep having problems I wonder if it wouldn't be more healthy to remove the tooth and look at other options.Take care and I hope you can heal this issue.
that is interesting that a dentist does not recommend them! I agree with your dentist -- while I have had them at a younger age - at this point, my position is pull it out because how many times are they done then the tooth is pulled out anyway!!
Glad to see you are okay Arial!
Good that you are OK. The health of your teeth will affect the whole body. It's too bad that the medical insurance industry treats teeth as fancy bones that comes under a whole other insurance.
I’m glad you’re on the mend! Thank you for the words of wisdom.
Ariel, I'm so sorry to hear that you've not been well. I did notice that it's been longer than usual between posts, and yes, you popped into my head. I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm sure that your lifestyle causes things to get behind because you haven't been able to do them. Hugs my good friend.
Ah girl, root canal! I've had it twice and twice ended up in hospital with severe infections, despite me following the advice given to the letter. Never again, I'd rather give birth to triplets than go through that pain ever again. If I'm told I need root canal now? I'll have them take the tooth out, get rid, job done. (saying that I've also had an infection from tooth removal, just not one that's lasted on a low level for months on end!) Tooth pain is the absolute worst, I'm glad you're feeling better now. Without being rude you do sound short of breath whilst talking, maybe get that checked too xx
Bacterial infections of any kind should not be taken lightly, they can cause blood infection and poisoning. You should have been put on antibiotics right away. simple stuff like this killed people in the old world, many were lucky to make it past their 40's. Back then a scratch that got dirty could kill you. There are ways to deal with this in the middle of nowhere, but it must be done quickly. I had an abscess in the gum below a tooth once, it was pusy and painful. I used a hypodermic needle filled it with hydrogen peroxide and pushed the needle into the abscess and flushed out the infection, pain relief was immediate. I did this several times while waiting for the day of the dentist. There are many things you can do to save yourself agony, but if your queasy, you better get over it or possible die or suffer long term heart problems brought on by infections that migrate into the blood. If your going off grid, make sure you know how to save yourself from the small ailments that can develop into serious life threatening situations.
Had a old injury flair up on me .And unfortunately sciatica hit with it.On my own it can be rough.All I can do when it flare-up is lay down.lol I do stretches and see a chiropractor and get a massage once a month.My yard is a mess plus with the heat I'm behind. I take it one day at a time.Im on my own and can call a few people but they have families.
Good advice and so glad you are recovering!
Don't you have anybody to help you when you are sick? If not, try and build a support system around yourself for the future.
