VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
In this video, Cody and Jo provide a detailed tour of their off-grid homestead, where they live in a yurt with no running water or grid electricity. They share the many rewards and challenges of living in a tiny home while raising a family, focusing on self-sufficiency, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Life in a Yurt: Off-Grid Living for Families
Living off the grid has been a dream for Cody and Jo, and they have made it a reality by moving their family into a yurt. With no electricity or running water, they’ve designed a lifestyle that brings them closer to nature and each other. The video walks viewers through their unique home setup, from the cozy wood-burning stove that heats their home to their outdoor freezer and creative solutions for everyday tasks.
Functional Kitchen Design for Off-Grid Living
In the kitchen tour, Jo explains how they manage cooking and food storage without the modern conveniences most families are used to. They use a gas camp stove to prepare meals and rely on a mini fridge and cooler system to keep perishable items fresh. The kitchen is compact, but well-organized, with shelves added over the last year to maximize counter space. It’s a great example of how to make the most out of limited space in an off-grid home.
Warmth and Comfort: The Heart of the Yurt
The family’s wood stove is a crucial element in their off-grid lifestyle. It serves as their primary source of heat during the colder months and even provides running hot water. Jo explains how they utilize the abundant wood from the surrounding forest, keeping their home warm and cozy through the harsh winters. The yurt’s simple, rustic charm is on full display as they share how the fireplace adds a sense of ambiance and connection to their home.
Raising Chickens and Growing Food: Homestead Living
One of the highlights of living off the grid is having the space to raise animals and grow food. Cody and Jo's family is raising meat chickens and laying hens, which provide them with fresh eggs daily and compost for their garden. They’ve recently expanded their flock, and they talk about the joy of gathering eggs in the morning and working toward self-sufficiency on their homestead.
Creating Family Bonds in a Tiny Home
While living in a tiny space can be a challenge, Cody and Jo emphasizes how much closer it has brought the family. With children sharing a bunk room and no extra room to spread out, they’ve found a deeper sense of connection and teamwork. Jo shares how each child has their own space within the yurt and how living in a small house is a trade-off for the immense freedom they enjoy on their five-acre homestead.
Planning for the Future: Building a Permanent Home
As their family grows, so does the need for more space. Cody talks about the family’s plans to build a larger home on their property, with a 30x30 house in the works. Although the yurt has served as their temporary home, they look forward to expanding while continuing to live off the grid and maintain their connection with nature.
Homesteading with Kids: A Family Adventure
From gathering eggs to helping with chores, Cody and Jo's children are learning valuable life skills on the homestead. The family shares how much they’ve enjoyed moving to the country, where their children have the freedom to play in the woods and learn hands-on homesteading skills.
Challenges and Rewards of Off-Grid Living
The video also covers some of the challenges the family has faced, such as dealing with condensation issues in the yurt, making repairs, and the occasional inconvenience of living without modern amenities. Despite these challenges, they firmly believe that the benefits of their lifestyle far outweigh the sacrifices.
