Yurt Life and Permaculture In High Sierra 

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.

That’s the nicest Yurt I’ve seen! And the property..”paradise”

Yes, "The home should be a place that facilitates living out our dreams"....spot on Bryce!!!

Simply one of my favorite episodes! Bryce, thank you for finding such wonderful people and featuring their homes. Role models are truly what we need to ensure a better future generation.

What a lucky child, to grow up in a place like this, paradise on earth 😀🌈💚🍄

Wow we really like the Yurt and the fact that they have so much land.we wish them many years of happiness there .thanks Bryce for sharing

"Yurt" is a Turkish word and meaning "homeland" . Nomadic Turks where live Central Asia (Turkistan) and Mongolian people generally use it .

Really impressed with how immaculate everything is! Glad to see solid walls, seems much safer against intruders, 2- and 4_footed kinds, insulated, can run pipes and wiring through, etc. Beautiful inside and outdoors. 😃👏🌲🌲🏔️

Back to the land! Yurts are a great low cost solution for sustainable living. Awesome video as always.

Wonderful episode. Lovely people and a very inspiring mindset.

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 RU-vid 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!

"What would we want him to know growing up we wanted him to know the land the animals and how to grow his own food" && "The gift of understanding the natural world and where health and where food comes from" I appreciate the way they grow their child super indeed that child is a lucky one. Most of us need to think in this way and make it a reality...... Awesome

Bro you are going to hit 1M ..congratulation bro..keep it up

What a lovely family! I love what their mindsets/ perspectives and how they are living life the way they want to. They look genuine happy and proud of their lifestyle! They truly inspire me to do something similar. :)

Phenomenal! That precious baby's face soiled with berry juice!🍓 Priceless!

Good for them. Getting out and living their dream, for them and their child.

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.

This is crazy Bryce! I used to watch your vids 4 years ago and you would respond to my question almost every time. You are about to hit 1M subs?!?! So many congrats. You deserve it man.

This is awesome! I believe Bryce and this man can talk for hours - lots of knowledge, wisdom and good, purposeful information.

Just superb way of living... I am from India, and here our ancestors followed organic lifestyle including building techniques and food, everything... And I liked both of them for their outlook... you must have the courage of your conviction... Congratulations to Bryce for bringing us another gem of an episode...❗🙏☺️

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

Circular shape with such dome with natural light coming is just great. BTW, that kitchen is bigger than most people have.

This home is absolutely gorgeous! The couple was so talented, wise, and artistic. The husband knows so much about living off the land, I could listen to him all day. It’s so refreshing to see people like this who have chosen their path wisely and unplugged from city life and all its traps. I hope to see more videos from this lovely couple.

I so enjoyed this one! It's inspiring and I'm very envious! Loved seeing the little one with red stained face from berries and him making his way through the garden with his hand open with anticipation of what he was going to pick next! Happy people living in happy places makes me happy!

Oh man! Homesteading & with kids 😱 💯 Side note: Every episode is amazing. I do really appreciate when you interview ppl that have been living tiny for a while.

I loooooove Thursdays!! I hope everyday is Thursday. Thanks, Bryce. Amazing, as always 😊

I love this channel and watching the way they are interviewed. It's really cool to see how people live and why they live the way they do. But holy crap the toxicity in the comments sections, on every video it so disgusting.

I love inside of their Yurt. They manage to make it very beautiful, spaciest and comfortable.

This isn’t exactly ‘tiny’ living. It’s awesome though 👍

This is legitimately a dream 💖

Inspiring. Most of us dream but few do. I feel so disconnected from the outside living in a small 4 wall apartment. And what a gift they have given their child, to be able to learn about growing food and living with animals and nature. God Bless then.

They talk sooo much about the little one getting his hands dirty and how important the connection to nature is. You can tell they were raised in a city.😂 Good for them.

Special and beautiful 😍 Thank you Rasa and Bryce for your tremendous efforts

I love it very beautiful wood art work u guys did I love the open space kitchen and your beautiful garden thanks for sharing the house tour of your home looks very cozy !

*From all the Yurts I've seen this the best and that kitchen I felt in Love with it* !!!

This is absolutely beautiful. From the lifestyle, family life and philosophy. Then what the wife did with the interior! WOW her home crafts knocked me out! Gosh the pottery and lamps tables! Loved it all!

What a cool family and wonderful home! It's so good to see so much thought and energy going into a home and a way of life.

That is a BEAUTIFUL yurt.......they did AWESOME!

Another beautiful design, so homey and cozy, yet spacious. Great family. They did an amazing job there.

Love this Yurt! Beautiful Life. Thanks for sharing and filming!

What a wonderful episode! This is probably my favorite build so far, and for only 35k!

Love your videos, keep up the good work. Great editing and story telling.

Thanks for sharing your home, lifestyle, and journey. You are a wonderful couple!

i cannot tell you ( in words ) how happy i was to watch this video. TY !!!

There is HOPE! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

This is truly Living On Purpose! Wonderful lifestyle...

I love this Yurt - so much room and well designed

Been there done that, old now. Brings a tear to my eye. So glad you eat real food, brings hope to me. You are on a path!

Yup, yup, yup, agree with so much that he says, beautiful place.

Amazing home and a great start for your son.

LOVELY, LOVELY!! What an incredible place... and LOVE all the creative touches... stained glass window, hanging lights, 'mullions' on windows, all the live edge woods, fireplace 'hearth', etc., etc. and I love Beth's rust colored jacket! Definitely creative minds. Best of luck!

What an inspiration! Truly lovely. There baby boy is such a smart, adorable little guy. Thanks for sharing!

I think they are an amazing family...pity about all these nasty comments from superficial know it all folk

Very nice and cozy! I was very impressed when I saw the wife pull the big pot roast of dinner.

We live in the Seqoiua National Forest In The Sierra Nevada Mountains, and it's a dream.🌲 There's no other place we could picture living. This is home, and we love it.🌿 Thanks for sharing this beautiful home it's stunning. Looking forward to more great videos in the future. 🌳

Kudos to this artistic, creative couple who repurposed a lot of things to build a super tiny home. What a wonderful life for your son. Thanks for the great video Rasa and Bryce. This one definitely is living big in a tiny home👍

I was not expecting it to be this lavish! That sitting room coffee table is absolutely gorgeous!!

This is a normal house size with permaculture, it's nice to have some alternative from time to time.

Wow. How amazing! I learned from these wonderful people.

Gorgeous! The stone under their stove is a really nice touch. They did a great job.

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.

Hermoso lugar ,hermosa casa ,idea muy creativa.felicito a esta familia .Te seguimos de Entre Rios Argentina

Bryce, thank you so much for what you're doing!!! Guys well done!!!!

I think this is beautiful. The yurt is such a pleasing home size and shape and to put drywall and insulation is brilliant. They have great taste and truly have worked at making a very light on the land home. I just visited the Kogi Indians in Colombia who have a very strong belief about being good to the earth. Their houses are similar and they garden in a similar way. No livestock or really big torn up tracts. If they were able to afford 30 acres in rural CA (which is no where near the price of the crappiest home in the SF Bay Area), then more power to them. They are protecting and being great stewards and that is likely why they had the opportunity. Bless you both!! I'd love to learn more about your life.

Everything wonderful... When I heard the son's name though it made me laugh. Not a bad name, just definitely the name you would hear from this type of life style family. Love how this whole thing feels tho. Gorgeous

This should be called' Living Big on a Big Property .

Wow this is splendid, I love this people for taking this initiative, from the kitchen to every aspect it's gorgeous and brilliant

I feel so inspired by stories like this. Thanks for posting this.

Total isolation but still with all the comforts of life.

The fact that they kept saying "yurt home" made me laugh. In my language "yurt"means "home" so he is saying "home home".

This is gorgeous! Love this. Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.

My goodness this home is absolutely gorgeous!! And it looks massive. So well designed!

I’d love to hear an update on this household, how are they dealing with all the wildfires of 2020?

Was there ever an update? Curious to know how the lil guys room will be made to suit him as he grows?

These people are wildly inspirational!

Thank you so much for inspiring me. Your show is really showing me that i can live this way, too. Keep the great work of making people realize that having less is keeping in tune with life.

I have a lot going on today, but I wanted to slow down for a minute to say what a beautiful home and great property! I'm sure the bad puns are a plenty, but here we go... Brett and Beth, *yurt* doing it right! 🤘😁🤘 🖤🦇

I would love to live there right now cause I’m 11 years young and I would love to go exploring in the forest ❤️😊

Inspiring, praying blessings over this family, thank you for sharing!

This was a pleasure looking at this beautiful family. Their yurt is beautiful clean and well organized. They are so creative and tasteful. Those ceramics are so beautiful. Beautiful garden. Awesome environment. Well done. Love from Trinidad!

Love your presentation/commentary and content. Everything is of a class apart 👌👌. Beautiful house and people. It's a life style everyone would dream of, but very few would actually go ahead and adopt one. 👏👏👌🌷

We’re off grid and eco friendly, but bought a prefab yurt, are connected to the electric grid, and have a gas hookup. Basically we couldn’t handle off grid so we fake it.

Wow! This couple is so creative and artistic. Amazing!

It’s damn spacious than i expected especially the kitchen which is my favorite for sure. How nice!

My Mongolian ancestry has been calling me to a yurt for sometime now.

That is truly s nice Yurt and something I could live in permanently, as it seems people always use it as a temporary dwelling until their real house is built

This Yurt is awesome! Beautiful interior!

Hey Bryce, you have such an infectious enthusiastic personality that permeates your videos. You really are in your element in this video sharing life you have chosen. Keep up your very inspiring work!

A great set up for raising a family and I wish them every success but I did have a chuckle when I saw the dishwasher :)

Hello~ I'm journalist from Kazakhstan. My ancestors lived in similar yurts in the past. I would like to ask you and Bret and Beth for permission to write an article about this video and their live. ^ ^

What a wonderful family. God bless you all!

What amazing, well rounded people. I could learn so much from them. Wish I were deep into the forest.

Beautiful home and decor. It is not really “roughing” it I don’ think with electricity...dishwasher...washing machines ect...but lovely...

In coming years these people will be masters in surviving in nature and people living in cities will be begging them to teach them

This episode was a great learning experience. Well done Brett and Beth.

Very courageous of you both to be take on this lifestyle. Seems so peaceful and healthy. Love the layout of your beautiful home. 👏👏👏

People live in ramshakle houses all over the US. Visit upstate NY, West Virginia, or any other rural part of the US. It's not really an unusual way to live. I wish they had forgone toxic drywall and insulation and opted for a natural hay insulation solution and clay walls. I also want to add that one can definitely live frugally and minimally in cities, towns and the countryside without having to resort to this sort of "build it from scratch and escape society" living. Sometimes working with what you already have is best. I feel like they were the kind of people who bragged about not having a TV while watching netflix on their wi-fi in their city days. :-/

Hi, I'm so in love with your Yurt. Can I sugess to use more led lights, it's more economic and more ecoligic. ;)))

I LOVE that Yurt! Thank you for sharing

It is same housing ancient Kazakhs🤗
