Hi Ariel! Good point about having stuff in the van for "just in case" circumstances. I tell my family to pack extra items in their vehicles for just such an occasion. It is Wyoming and you never know what you are going to get weather-wise. Its nice to be prepared!
It is so awesome to see someone living my dream. I hope to have a homestead in the mountains of West Virginia where I can hunt and gather a chunk of my food stores!
At first I thought - "Winter Clothing," I live in Minnesota, that sounds boring. But I found it very informative. We do need many different kinds of jackets depending on the weather. We had a really cold spell this winter, below zero, for weeks. I wore my Columbia heavy, silver reflective material inside, coat everyday. I was never cold. We get tons of wind here. It gets brutal.
Very informative. I like that you can speak from work and play experience and product knowledge. My son just got a wool blanket for his birthday. He is very excited about it. Set up the tent in the back yard to try it out. My grandad was a cattle farmer...had Nubian goats too...he used an old towel for a scarf. Would wrap it around and zip it up under his coat. He layered a lot too. There were some very cold and windy days out spreading hay for cattle and looking for momma cows and newborn babies in the woods in the middle of the night.
Hi Ariel, your demonstration of your warm clothes and jackets to ware was so cute,😆 I couldnt stop smiling 😃😁 hehe, great video as always and very interesting topics... 😄👍👋👋 Those fur boots 👢 were real nice, I liked them, feet warm for sure. 😂 lol. 👌
We get a lot of snow most winters. I live near Boston in Massachusetts. I have fallen in love with your boots. I will visit that woman's site. Thanks for providing it. I like your winter wardrobe!
3rd. Shucks. I can give you a like even before viewing because of your consistency. Plus I'm not into clothes. Winters in Minnesota have warmed up so much that we don't wear the greatcoats anymore. Blessings.
Hi Ariel ! I wear my scarves the same way, looped around my neck or around my head and neck- gotta keep those ears warm ! And yes- layers are key ! My winters are nothing like yours , but still , so important to be dressed properly! Great video, good information! Thanks :-)
@@FyNyth don't you find, it's often the people who say they don't like winter who are dressed most inappropriately? I think they would like it better if they wore the right clothes! Love your content! Hello from Canada
Thank you, I love all of your layers and how you got them all so inexpensively. I'm also happy to know others have what appears to be doggie teeth marks on their door jam. :)
You are welcome! I can't say I'm happy about that, it was a new one. Her teeth, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently....
When I lived in Colorado my favorite accessory was a scarf. I found that if my neck was cold the rest of me was cold. A scarf made all the difference. Thanks for the video.
Wool wool wool LOVE the wool. Impressed to see you wearing Muks/winter mocs....absolute the best winter cold foot wear EVER...I live in my winter mocs with wool felt liners. Look into Thermohair wool socks...awesome socks. Too bad you like cotton against your skin and not a good merino wool....and your right about the amazing wicking ability of wool's and couple that with a cotton canvas outer shell it is amazing how little clothing one needs in deep cold Fully baffled down puffies are the ultimate in warmth. Down like wool is awesome stuff that no man made fiber can come close too touching. Well Done Ariel and awesome to see someone who knows HOW to dress for the cold..well almost...got to toss that cotton base layer..haha
Hi Ariel; My only suggestion or addition to your list would be to wear a pair of poly propylene socks as my base layer, then Smartwool socks. Also, if you are out in the wet snow and your gloves will get wet, add a pair of surgical gloves inside my gloves (usually smart wool) to keep your hands warm. I work in the snow at our local ski area in Big Bear. Happy Trails! Skip
Different things work for different people for sure. I generally try avoid anything poly against my skin.Thankfully where I live it's very rarely wet enough in the winter to need the glove trick, usually too cold. :)
I am so glad I found this video! We moved to the Smoky Mountains a few years ago after living in a hot coastal climate for 45+ years. Clothing has changed since I lived in cold weather climates when I was growing up. The grey pants at the end I've seen you wear in videos & was most curious about! Thanks!!
I am still catching up on videos and maybe you already know by now! Hah But Darn Tough (Merino Wool) yes, pricey, but they have a lifetime guarantee. They "dare" you to wear a hole in them and if you do, they replace them for free. I replaced them 3 times while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and only ever had issues replacing them at REI. Farm to feet is a great brand too! 😀
You said you made your hats. Could you possibly do a video on that? I've been watching beginner videos for knitting and crocheting but have yet to make the first piece. Love your videos! :-)
I love all of your videos! And I think I love your tiny house? I lived in a 750 square foot apartment for 30 years, and I always thought it was way too much space for only me. I could live happily in a tiny house, but I don't know about living in Wyoming? Winter in northern Ohio is long enough for me. Grizzly would be more energetic if she had another dog's butt to sniff. lol. Did your generator's carburetor have to be re tuned to operate at your higher elevation? I was reading my Honda generator manual and it said that it would need a special carburetor to run at elevations higher than 5,000 feet, and that running that version at lower elevation would eventually ruin the engine.
I am really enjoying each one of your videos that I come across. You have got to be one of a kind and the mold was broke when they made you. The Energizer Bunny would have burnt out, long before you ever did. I know that people want more information from you and would like for you to walk them thru a lot of things that you have already done, many times over. HEAR ME OUT, I would like to know what we the people who view your videos and enjoy them, and have NO real idea how hard life really is for you. I would like to Know on the UP and UP, what viewers like me can do for YOU. You have put yourself and your life in videos, that I can watch and then turn off and be thankful for what you have just taught me but your life still goes on. Please tell me that you will accept Donations to your efforts or at least Let us help Sponsor your ongoing efforts, as we hungrily wait for your next videos. That is how I would like to show my appreciation for all that you are going thru and doing for us. Tell me or start one, an Address, that WE who care about you, can send you some money to Donate or Sponsor your efforts. I hope that you will not take NO for an answer. You do your videos Freely but I would like to Donate to your Unselfish and Giving cause. Don't want to hear NO for a answer. Give us ALL an Address please. Thanks; Bruce; Chattanooga, TN.
Why thank you! You are very kind and I'm glad you enjoy the videos. People do often ask the same questions over and over, so if anyone cares to share with other's how easy it is to use the little search bar on a channel's home page to find any videos they've done on a particular topic. (ua-cam.com/users/fynyth and then click on the little eyeglass toward the right hand side which lets you search that channel for any word you are interested in.) That would save me the time of looking up and sharing the link to each video that answers the question that person is asking. :) As far as donations, there is this info linked at the bottom of the "show more" description under every video. "Many thanks to all of you amazing people! If you really value the info you find on my channel, are very comfortable yourself, and want to help out with things here, there are two ways to do so that are a huge help to me! My Paypal account address is Ariel.C.McGlothin@gmail.com And I keep a running wish list of things I could use around here at a.co/aSEscEa ."
Loved this video! I just moved this year from the AZ desert to New Hampshire. We live around a lot of water and it's very windy so I'm learning really quick to layer up! I don't wear pants so I've had to invest in lots of fleece lined leggings for under them! The first big winter storm definitely taught me a lot about the need for wool! :D
I'm a fairly new subscriber and love your channel. I especially like the no-nonsense take you have. You don't hide the nitty gritty and don't handle topics with kid gloves. Just what I need as I go tiny. Thanks and keep up the good work. 😊
I need to go thrifting for myself more. I'm always cold and I know it doesn't have to be that way. I used to love to hike and had good layers back then. Was always super comfortable.
Loved this vid, your delivery is exceptional, . I understood every word and it was very informative. I noticed that you have single cylinder locks on your door . You may want to consider double cylinder locks for better protection. Thanks, Bob.
I'd stick a couple of pieces of sacrificial wood over the door and frame, just to give Grizzly something to go at which wouldn't damage your lovely little house!
That was a new one. Her teeth actually, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently....
I bought some of those icebreaker wool socks this year and man are they great. Expensive for sure but man they are awesome. Since I have partial paralysis in lower extremities I needed to make sure that my feet were warm and dry. Wool is an amazing material that keeps you warm even when wet.
i live in tennessee & believe me it gets cold here, i wear a thermal hat, long johns & a shirt, pants & an insulated winter coat, plus i have steiger mukluks for if it is extremely cold outside, they are insulated so well, my feet never get cold!! ty for the video!
Ariel, Good information . I have heard that wet wool will still keep you warm. I have had a bad experience with with Smartwool socks as they develop holes very soon. I have switched to Fits brand and found that they last a long time. Check your PO Box. package waiting. David
Well I've heard that too, and I think "warm" is a bit of a stretch.... I think wet wool doesn't make you as cold as fast as most other fibers.... :) I've generally had a pretty good lifespan from my socks, but I'm sure there are plenty of other great brands as well.
This is quite helpful. I'm planning on going skiing for the first time this winter and I've never had "proper" winter clothes seeing as I've been in Texas my whole life. I'm also going to be moving to Colorado next summer so winter clothes shopping has been a pretty daunting task for me.
My son’sswear by Darn Tough wool socks. They find they wear better than Smartwool, guaranteed for life and made in Vermont. I recently bought my 4 year old grandsons wool socks, and now they won’t wear anything but their “grandma socks”. And their feet are never cold anymore.
Yeah to wearing fur! Grew up wearing it, nothing compares. Wish I could upload a pic of my rabbit and bear fur mitts, fox mucs, moccasins and seal skin boots!
I love your clothes selection.......the Alaskan Boots are awesome. So many options...how did you decide which ones to choose? Thank you for this cool video!
I am in Rhode Island so we don't have to deal with cold too long, i only have a light jacket and gloves. We did have a nasty cold snap a couple weeks ago when i had to buy a hat and scarf though but that is unusual so i don't foresee me using them anymore this season.
Hello again, that was a nice easy watch but clothes bla blah lol your voice is nice to lesion too. Maybe more window in the background , I like watching snow falling. Got to thinking about your garden mulch herb aside issues. I will tell you my family secret on this but it will cost you some food. So I tell you , you owe me something good you make (I like all meats) deal,,taps foot great good answer. So here we go, start a fire in your fire ring, large pot or can holds 2gal or more , get two big handfuls of the mulch you want to bedd with and drop it in. Next fill with spring water and let it come to a boil, while that's working you need a white stick like ash, birch some type of light colored wood. Now your ready,, step 1 smell the steam smells bad-is bad that's what your veggies are going to smell like when boiled, step 2 pull all the mulch out of the pot or as much as you can, take the can off the fire and let cool a few mins ,look on top of the water for shining (any kind of film) should be just a little not a tar pit lol. It's the colors we are looking for ;no purples no greens no pinks as you dip your stick in over and over to stain it , we only want browns yellows and blacks stains on the stick to much whites more dead the mulch. Hope this helps 🏔
try "gore-tex" material for a waterproof jacket that will breathe- I race sailboats, nice gear from Douglass Gill n affordable thru Amazon or other sites.
Eight months of winter??? You have us beat. We have four to six months of winter in Southern Ontario and the temperatures can drop to - 30 to -40 Celcius with the wind chill. We're not in the mountains but near the great lakes, so we tend to have a more damp cold and the snow can get extremely heavy. But as you say, it's all about layers! Unfortunately, I can't touch wool, I'm so allergic to it. Just hearing the word makes my skin crawl. I too love cotton!! We also experience extreme temperatures in the summer that can go to 30 to 40 degrees celius or higher. Again, it's damp here near the lakes so we often have 100% humidity. I can't even imagine frost in the summer!! I will go and check out any videos you might have about your garden. I'm not sure how you protect crops in that kind of weather...
Fantastic video & info. What brand are the mud boots? I buy a lot of my clothes at thrift stores & can keep my eye out for the good quality stuff. Every time I buy rain boots they leak. Of course, these only cost $25 to $ 40. I'm willing to pay much more but only if I know the brand will be good quality. Oregon = rain & mud!
The mud boots I have are the Muck Boots brand. For years they have been super high quality, though with some of their newer stuff it seems to be a little less so. I've had no leaks after having this pair for three years though. amzn.to/2FnAePb
I’m jealous of your boots. I love those hand crafted boots. I knew a native woman who made something similar to those for men. Wow almost 30 Year’s ago. I’m getting old very depressed now
Nope, that was a new one. Her teeth actually, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently....
That varies a lot. A couple of the lighter ones that I wear most often and closer to my skin, a couple times a year. The heavy wool or down stuff, virtually never. But no, in generally I don't get very dirty.
I'm with Grizzly on this topic! Just the facts Mam! I just got am email from Muck that they will be replacing my 8 month old Muck Boots that came appart. I wanted to believe that Muck boots were of a high enough quality that they would last year's if not tens of years but not so. The uppers and sole separated at the seam and have been very disappointing. So as of now the best part of the boots is the 1yr warranty. ... I'm NOT expecting the replacement boots to last either so if you're looking for good boots try and find a brand with more than a year on the warranty.
That's too bad. For many years Muck Boots have been great, recently though, it seems the quality has dropped significantly. My pair is still like new after more than three years....
Fy Nyth Apparently the company was taken over by Honeywell safety products. It's anyone's guess as to how he brand will fair in the future. I was really glad when I got the boots, I needed a size 16 and when I found a pair was thrilled that they fit so well, they were comfortable and looked well made....oh well!
What kind/brand of wool socks do you have? I'm sensitive to wool, can bring discomfort like being stung by ants and raising welts or itchy bumps, especially if I perspire. 😬
I have quite a few. While some wood shirts and pants do irritate me, I've never had a problem with any socks. I've had Bridgedale, Smartwood, Point 6, Ice Breaker, etc. and I hear Darn Tough is really good but I haven't had a pair yet.
That was her teeth, all in a couple hours. The first time I learned that she'd developed some separation anxiety issues. We're working through that and it dasn't happened again.
The quarter zip wool is Smartwool (something like this amzn.to/2nm4cfp but since I've had that one for years and got it out of someone's throw away pile, I don't know exactly which of their many tops it is) and the full zip one is Ibex (something like this amzn.to/2rL5OV9 but again, I've had mine for a while and it was a closeout when I bought it).
I can't say I'm happy about that, it was a new one. Her teeth, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently....
If you give them a shot, you might find that either wool or silk long underwear are very comfortable when it's cold. I don't know a man who goes without them around here!
I thought while watching that I'm glad you don't use clickbait. 😊 Could attract the wrong kind of attention and comments. 😝😱 No problem with the video, as a previous person said, "tastefully done." Thank you, very helpful for anyone in many ways! 👏👍❄️❄️
Looks like grizzly needs his nails clipped, your poor door. My wife has the same issue with her hands. Per her doctor, when winter approaches she increases her intake of turkey or chicken breast, peanuts, tuna, mushrooms and peas which are all high in Niacin.
That would be teeth actually, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently. Thanks for the tips, I do eat a lot of all those things except peanuts due to being allergic to them.
Up until the video turns into night-time, I keep looking at that side window and the snow falling gently outside. So lovely.
:)
Hi Ariel! Good point about having stuff in the van for "just in case" circumstances. I tell my family to pack extra items in their vehicles for just such an occasion. It is Wyoming and you never know what you are going to get weather-wise. Its nice to be prepared!
I do the same "bug out vehicle" preps. I can signal help, cook, keep warm, whatever I have to until help arrives or weather improves
I started wearing wool socks last winter and love them.
It is so awesome to see someone living my dream. I hope to have a homestead in the mountains of West Virginia where I can hunt and gather a chunk of my food stores!
Nice!

Very informative. I like that you can speak from work and play experience and product knowledge. My son just got a wool blanket for his birthday. He is very excited about it.

Now your ready,, step 1 smell the steam smells bad-is bad that's what your veggies are going to smell like when boiled, step 2 pull all the mulch out of the pot or as much as you can, take the can off the fire and let cool a few mins ,look on top of the water for shining (any kind of film) should be just a little not a tar pit lol. It's the colors we are looking for ;no purples no greens no pinks as you dip your stick in over and over to stain it , we only want browns yellows and blacks stains on the stick to much whites more dead the mulch. Hope this helps 🏔
Great tips
try "gore-tex" material for a waterproof jacket that will breathe- I race sailboats, nice gear from Douglass Gill n affordable thru Amazon or other sites.
I have several. Gore-tex is pretty amazing for some applications, but it will still not breath quite as well as a natural fiber like wool.
Eight months of winter??? You have us beat. We have four to six months of winter in Southern Ontario and the temperatures can drop to - 30 to -40 Celcius with the wind chill. We're not in the mountains but near the great lakes, so we tend to have a more damp cold and the snow can get extremely heavy. But as you say, it's all about layers! Unfortunately, I can't touch wool, I'm so allergic to it. Just hearing the word makes my skin crawl. I too love cotton!!
We also experience extreme temperatures in the summer that can go to 30 to 40 degrees celius or higher. Again, it's damp here near the lakes so we often have 100% humidity. I can't even imagine frost in the summer!! I will go and check out any videos you might have about your garden. I'm not sure how you protect crops in that kind of weather...
Oh man, I can't do that much humidity. But I bet the plants love it!
Fantastic video & info. What brand are the mud boots? I buy a lot of my clothes at thrift stores & can keep my eye out for the good quality stuff. Every time I buy rain boots they leak. Of course, these only cost $25 to $ 40. I'm willing to pay much more but only if I know the brand will be good quality. Oregon = rain & mud!
Lana Hallock ,,,I also buy at thrift stores as well. I get nice clothes at a decent price.

The mud boots I have are the Muck Boots brand. For years they have been super high quality, though with some of their newer stuff it seems to be a little less so. I've had no leaks after having this pair for three years though. amzn.to/2FnAePb
I’m jealous of your boots. I love those hand crafted boots. I knew a native woman who made something similar to those for men. Wow almost 30 Year’s ago. I’m getting old very depressed now
I find you so inspiring & generous, ty for your vid on the paint of Fy Nyth, I watched it! XO.....thumbs UP!
Ariel, thank you so much, I really appreciate it wanted an idea of what you would recommend for winter. Very helpful informative video thanks.
You're welcome! I know you asked for it about a dozen times! :)
Hi great video as usual
Weird question but does Grizzly scratch at your door to be let
Out?
?
+Damian Bailey Well it looks really scratched up in the video...
Nope, that was a new one. Her teeth actually, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently....
Fy Nyth
Oh I see, when your not home?
Maybe some kinda doggie stuffed animal will help?
ll bean is great stuff .there is a outlet near by me in n.h.
If you need anything at 'll bean let me know I will look for you. I will send it to you
Thanks! But I rarely buy anything new. Mine LLBean pants came second hand. :)
I'm 6'7" and like a scarf (something manly) If my neck gets cold I'll freeze. Thanks for sharing!!
I hear you, right after my feet and hands, my neck is the next thing that will make me feel really cold.
How often do you launder your jackets ? Do they get really dirty out doing daily chores ?
That varies a lot. A couple of the lighter ones that I wear most often and closer to my skin, a couple times a year. The heavy wool or down stuff, virtually never. But no, in generally I don't get very dirty.
I'm with Grizzly on this topic! Just the facts Mam! I just got am email from Muck that they will be replacing my 8 month old Muck Boots that came appart. I wanted to believe that Muck boots were of a high enough quality that they would last year's if not tens of years but not so. The uppers and sole separated at the seam and have been very disappointing. So as of now the best part of the boots is the 1yr warranty. ... I'm NOT expecting the replacement boots to last either so if you're looking for good boots try and find a brand with more than a year on the warranty.
That's too bad. For many years Muck Boots have been great, recently though, it seems the quality has dropped significantly. My pair is still like new after more than three years....
Fy Nyth Apparently the company was taken over by Honeywell safety products. It's anyone's guess as to how he brand will fair in the future. I was really glad when I got the boots, I needed a size 16 and when I found a pair was thrilled that they fit so well, they were comfortable and looked well made....oh well!
old school union suit and bunny slippers ....lol
What kind/brand of wool socks do you have? I'm sensitive to wool, can bring discomfort like being stung by ants and raising welts or itchy bumps, especially if I perspire. 😬
I have quite a few. While some wood shirts and pants do irritate me, I've never had a problem with any socks. I've had Bridgedale, Smartwood, Point 6, Ice Breaker, etc. and I hear Darn Tough is really good but I haven't had a pair yet.
@@FyNyth Many thanks, Ariel!
Is that Grizzley’s handiwork on the back of the door I see? 😂
I have a dog who does that too,
Kari
That was her teeth, all in a couple hours. The first time I learned that she'd developed some separation anxiety issues. We're working through that and it dasn't happened again.
Just wondering - what kind of oil do you use in your lamps ? Did not hear you mention it....thank
What do you wear to the beach?
Beach? In Wyoming, beaches require dry suits, in the summer, just to prevent dying of hypothermia. ;)
Nice base wool black zipper shirt, what's the name on that, is like to get one :)
The quarter zip wool is Smartwool (something like this amzn.to/2nm4cfp but since I've had that one for years and got it out of someone's throw away pile, I don't know exactly which of their many tops it is) and the full zip one is Ibex (something like this amzn.to/2rL5OV9 but again, I've had mine for a while and it was a closeout when I bought it).
What brand are your mud boots? They are what I am looking for!
Under the "show more" tab you can see the list of all the things I mention and links to them. The Muck Boots I have amzn.to/2EkVztA
Looks like someone was trying to get out Lol
By the marks on the door at the bottom
Grizzly....
I can't say I'm happy about that, it was a new one. Her teeth, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently....
I'm sure you two will work it out😉
@fynyth where do you take showers, and how far are you from the nearest city?
Gym, about 13 miles from a town with a grocery store, 90 miles from one with a Walmart.
nice - don't think i can where leggings tho... I wonderd how you stay warm in all that snow.
If you give them a shot, you might find that either wool or silk long underwear are very comfortable when it's cold. I don't know a man who goes without them around here!
I never thought I'd see you open a video with a strip tease. Tastefully done and informative though.
I thought while watching that I'm glad you don't use clickbait. 😊 Could attract the wrong kind of attention and comments. 😝😱 No problem with the video, as a previous person said, "tastefully done." Thank you, very helpful for anyone in many ways! 👏👍❄️❄️
Looks like grizzly needs his nails clipped, your poor door. My wife has the same issue with her hands. Per her doctor, when winter approaches she increases her intake of turkey or chicken breast, peanuts, tuna, mushrooms and peas which are all high in Niacin.
That would be teeth actually, all in a couple hours. Grizzly and I are trying to work through some pretty serious separation anxiety issue here apparently. Thanks for the tips, I do eat a lot of all those things except peanuts due to being allergic to them.
Very informative strip show. 😋
:-)
Can no longer see the link for the lady that made your boots. Any chance you can reply with it? Loved the video!
1st
Yay! :)
