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!

Enjoyed the video Ariel and CLAY. tHANK YOU
Clay & Ariel = The Best Couple : ) : )
Aaahw that little kiss was so cute 🥰
I liked the music. Great berry picking music!
I’m from Saskatoon LOL. those are a very common tree/bush here. they prefer well drained sandy soil which is usually why one would find them near the river beds. They make wonderful pies, jams, syrups, tinctures. The indigenous people use them for medicines. Everyone and their dog picks this berry here. Can’t wait to see what yummy recipes you come up with.
Hi there! I’m from Saskatoon as well! Very cool
I hadn’t heard of the other terms for this fruit. I grew up picking berries and eating Saskatoon pie (in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada). It’s blackberry picking time in the Vancouver, BC area right now.
Thank you for letting us know what kind of soil they like. I am in the UK and have never seen them growing here but my plant and seed catalogue arrived today and saw some listed as Saskatoon Berries. I had thought of getting a couple of plants to plant in a container but these bushes are huge and I have heavy clay soil too. The catalogue described the flavour as a cross between a blueberry and an almond.
I just went shopping in Walmart the other day and couldn’t resist buying a jar of Saskatoon berry jam I saw there! Nostalgia!
Just got the Safeway ad... Blueberries on sale at 5$ for 18 ounces. Blackberries 3.49 for 6 oz! You just had a pleasant afternoon getting over a hundred dollars worth of organic free range berries!
Darn mosquitoes!!!! I guess you should have worn long sleeves like Clay did…When my grandma and me went raspberry picking…she a kerosene rag sound both ankles to keep chiggers off too..But we always wore long sleeves…
You two are a cute couple. Bet you thank God you found each other.
Enjoyed seeing you and Clay working together. ❤️ I like his bucket, I made similar one with gallon milk jug for picking blueberries. 2 hands free pick more! Enjoy your bounty.
A fun day of togetherness and berries...happy day...look forward to seeing what you do with them
It reminds me so much of my mother, sister, and myself picking chokecherries Up North! Thank you for bringing that memory back to me.
Blessings ❤️
now I'm itching
Thank you! Your foraging videos are amongst my favorite 😁
Berry bushes always have bugs of some sort. : ) They look like a great resource. Will be nice to have the jars of juice over the winter.
Juneberries are my favorite.
Wonderful! The berries look delicious ❗️
Thank you 😊. Such a fun and relaxing video.
My dad took me to his parents home, on his motorcycle, to pick blackberries. We picked about 3 gallons of wild berries. In a 5 gallon bucket, they had settled to about a gallon and a half, by the time we got back home, to our mountain, about 45 minutes ride. Mom made jam. She could can anything. You’re very fortunate to have such beautiful and prolific berries. Good to see you and Clay. Love what you’re doing. Kentucky
Ah back to nature.The best for you and Clay.
PS I love when Clay can join you on video!
I love picking berries. It's the best therapy in the world!
I have seen many of those berry names in novels over the years, really nice to see them "in person!"
What a fun thing to do together! Thank you for the video.
Love saskatoon berries!! Made 2 pies a couple weeks ago and man was it good! Also a compote for crepes! 😋
We call those chokecherries. We just picked 3 gallons of them. I made jelly and juice. After driving 2 hours to my daughter's to pick them along the road only to come home and find them growing in our own yard. They are prolific everywhere this year. We live in northern MN.
Chokecherries aren’t that blue. They are more maroon/black
There are so many overlapping local names. One way to tell is looking at the inside seeds or pit. If one “bigger” pit, it’s a “”cherry”. Many smaller seeds probably in the berry family. Either way a fun productive way to be outside getting free, organic, super healthy food! Plus great exercise in the fresh air and sunshine. Hard work, but win, win, win. And often can use berry leaves as a tea! (But check first!)
I love the music that played while watching the berry picking. Berries look great.
Thank you for the foraging vids.
Ariel, watch out for the foraging grizzly bears!
Mmmm.......saskatoons. Saskatoon pie....... I haven't had any for a few years. Our last home they produced prolificly but our present home they are still getting established and the birds always beat me to the handful that have been there. Enjoy!
they are soooo good there was a bush in our back yard when i was a kid
Great job. They look good. I found goose berries and planted 2 plants this year. Also honey berries. Well see how they are.
I love this video! I just discovered serviceberries this year. Apparently the Rutger’s extension service planted 3 shrubs at the park I go to. I saw, I did an ID, & the mockingbirds and I shared them. They remind me of an apple/blueberry blend. I’m so jealous you have those huge shrubs. Mine are only 4’ tall right now. Totally looking forward to seeing what you make with them. Hugs and love to everyone at Fy Nyth ❤️❤️
I don’t nearly appreciate and take advantage of the beautiful berries available to our family. I was pretty disheartened last year to make some beautiful black currant syrup to bottle for the winter months, only to find mould on the top when I opened the bottles, despite carefully sterilising the bottles and an air tight seal. Maybe I left too much gap? It was very sad. A lot of work for 4 precious bottles….with mould on the top :( I did pour the mould off and used it anyway but felt quite demoralised. I love watching you and Clay work together. I love you living as much as you can off your own land and produce. We are in town now, sadly, but I’ve realised, we can work with what we have got, which is 3 glass houses and a very small vegetable garden. Any is better than none. We can do this on a small scale, which is better than pining about not being able to do it at all. Ariel, I just wanted to say, I appreciate your videos so much. P. S aren’t chooks fabulous…do you have any problems with bullying? We have had to rehome the occasional chicken after her sisters being REALLY nasty. Life threateningly so. Currently we have four red shavers. Very good layers, but we can’t tell them apart.
hi this jay do you have deers there
Fantastic! Im also in Canada but not a fan of Service or Saskatoon berries. They grow tart around here.
I did recently go to our friends Blueberry bushes with my younger daughter and we picked for about an hour and got about 2 gallons. We could have picked longer but the heat was unbareable. 45°C! Over 100 anyway. Love to see you being so resourceful. Good on you!
Nice to have access to these. Yum😊
Appreciate all the info so much 💝
Here in the Maritimes in Eastern Canada, we call the berries 'wild pears.'
I’m from Saskatoon, I’ve never heard them called that… That’s super cool that even in our own country they would have so many names. Thanks for that.
My first thought was " are you getting bit by no seeums"? I cant go in my yard without getting attacked so I have to garb up like a beekeeper! Thanks for this video, I have never heard of these berries
Noseeums are vicious. I do spray the back yard at the beginning of summer with bug stuff that connects to the garden hose. I never treat my pets, just the yard. Otherwise it’s ticks and noseeums galore and we can’t even go outside. That one treatment takes care of them. I don’t spray the gardens.
@@magamutts5726 Which product do you use?
@@magamutts5726 Do you spray at dusk when pollinators aren't about?
@@magamutts5726 Yes, they are viscious! I did spray the yard, the first time it seemed to help for a week. I gave up, nothing seems to work to rid them. I just cover my entire body when going out to water. Thanks for your input, some people think I am batty, they never heard of no seeums.
Hi Linda, what a great question, something I never even thought about. I usually spay after I mow and stir the little creeps up. Mid-day. I spray the sides of the house, trees, bushes, etc. I’m sure I’m making everyone cringe, but the yard is big and this year I found at least 5 ticks on my dogs in the spring - I’m sure that doesn’t sound like much but years prior there were none so I panicked a bit. I Donny spray the flowers or veggie gardens and the one treatment seems to carry us pretty well all season. No ticks or noseeums since spraying, few mosquitoes too. I am outside as much as Ariel but unlike her, I can’t take the biting bugs, I’m a wimp.
You are so fortunate to have serviceberries, they are now one of my very very favorites, next to boysenberry. I decided to grow several bushes that the first year produced a good amount. They were the sweetest (to me) most delicious berry i've tasted. Being in NC, we have lots of cedar trees that cause cedar rust on the serviceberries and they no longer produced.
But I do have Aronia bushes that do well.😀
I have a tree that I got this spring. I hope it makes it through this winter.
In uk these berries are not as common as they used to be and not so many use them. They used to be mainly used for jam or jelly. In my area one usually gathers brambles, sloes etc. this time of year but we have had a drought so the wild harvest is mainly left for the birds.
I like Clay's little berry bucket! I may try something like that next spring when it is strawberry time.
I am interested in finding an area with wild serviceberries in Oklahoma. Yes, they supposedly will grow here. To purchase one bush will cost me $75 !
❤️
Good to know. Will have to look next year. In my area we have a lot of blackberries on friend's farm we pick!
Fun job, we have them growing close to our house. But watch out for bears; they may not be pleased about finding you in their berry patch! We had a curious young bear come to our kitchen door this summer. When I went to answer the door he was more scared than I was.
Our raspberries we called bird poop berries that is how they were spread
That was sweet. Has anyone out there in Ariel land tried hot honey (jalapeno added)? Sounds good to me but expensive to buy so I would like some feedback from people who have taken a taste test. Thanks.
Serviceberries are called snowy mespilus in the UK.
I think I might have these on my new property and will have to inspect them to see what they are...very informative! Thanks Ariel!
Speaking of berries,,,my sister went 'pick your own' blueberries just today in Maine and they were $11.99 a quart. I have never heard of these berries, but will suggest to her to be on the look out for them. Thank you for the information.
If you drink some pickle juice before you go it will keep you from getting eaten alive by mosquitoes my brother in law taught me that he was a tree trimmer for yrs & ex military served over there in the jungle war
How would you propagate one of those trees? Do you just cut canes from them and root it or do you have to dig up a hole plant?
We've had the best luck by digging small trees and transplanting them. They are possibly suckers but they do have a good root system.
What’s your take on Wolfberries? They taste amazing and very healthy.
What kind of grow bags do you recommend.?
Wyoming is really serious 😳. By July 1st, every ripe Juneberry was stripped from the trees or had turned into a raisin here in NY.
hello...Is it possible to buy saskatoon seeds from you?
I tie bucket to my waist which gives me free hands. All my juneberries froze again this year. So disappointed.
