I had an 18' Tipi in my backyard. I used it to meditate and camp in. It's surprising how a round space is so comforting.

That's my bro! 🤙just visited Michael the other day, one of my best friends in Southern Oregon.

„Horses love to help but they are terrible helpers“ sent me 😂 As a horse owner I can attest to that! They loooove helping! I really admire your way of living! I have Mongolian ancestry and always felt drawn to this kind of lifestyle… might give it a try some day! Good luck to you on all of your adventures!

I'm 56 and I'm happy to say I did this for 2 years recently. My wife and I had a home made yurt.

The connection with the animals is beautiful. It's easy to see you need each other. Wishing you all peace and health on your path, Michael. Paz y luz, everyone.

Traditional with modern is how I’ve trained and taught others to survive since 1988. You realize after being a backpacker that the traditional is awesome and necessary skills to have, but you embrace the modern so you can enjoy the outdoors more. Im at a point in my life where I’m about to venture more into a nomadic type life. I’ve been this kind of thinker my whole life, but stuck in this society’s idea of normal. So I’m hoping to have some property in the next year as a base camp, then roam some.

Love his lifestyle! If i was 40 years younger i would love to live such a lifestyle!❤

Thank you so much for sharing :)) I don't do it with horses but I love being in nature as much as possible, I love my off grid life & just learning many things as life as every day goes by, always something new D.I.Y if your not afraid of stepping outside your comfort zone a little, & the more we explore our creative side the happier and freer we become,

When you mentioned Wild Carrots it took me back 60 years to my early Boy Scout days in Akron OH where I learned of Queen Anne's Lace and preparation for eating. I was taught to boil it heavily to make it more easily chewed and it tasted quite good

love the TeePee love the connection with your animals shows you have a good heart... I so relate with planting seeds where I go, I love watching things grow and encourage everyone plant plant plant ... great job

I loved that he was so passionate but not condescending or anything. an awesome and smart man

I think that the use of traditional methods and modern technology together is the next stage of of evolution. The mental and physical health benefits that come by living with the land and the ease and productivity that come with using modern technologies means we could be healthier, happier, work less, pursue more passions and relearn the lost knowledge we’ve been living with out the last few generations. I believe this is what many people are missing in their life’s is a deep connection with their work, life, community, nature and wellbeing that’s unattainable in modern fast paced society.

Amazing man! Very genuine person and motives for what he's loving doing! I loved this!

We're harvesting (and eating) mushrooms, on our property in central Canada - Pheasant Backs sprouting from 6 stumps of elm trees we've had cut due to disease, and Oysters growing on maple firewood logs. All delicious fried in butter.

I loved living in a teepee In Oregon on Onion Mountain during Winter! I really would love to do it again ! I have to live out doors!!! Even though I am 80yrs old now! I am bare foot and living in the desert now! Sure would love to live in a Teepee for my later yrs!!!

Great video! Mike seems like a really interesting individual. I admire his lifestyle :)

I'm looking for a lot of words to say...but you rock! Yes, all previous cultures have always blended the new and the old...it's called syncretism. It's an actual concept.

One thing I have observed on KZread is the amount of folks who offer info about back country living but really spend little time in the outback. Your living style is clearly authentic and it is appreciated. Thank you.

It is very good that the land can provide a nomadic lifestyle for those who seek it. Using modern tec can make it more available as resources are lower and free land rare.

Curious. Has it ever been considered to have Alpacas? I hear they carry more weight then horses, with many other favorable opinions in owning them including carding their fur. I'm still trying to educate myself on this newly learned info.

I love this dude! and I am sooo jealous too! As a Caddo Indian by birth, I always have had a yearning to live exactly like this. The ancient ways with the new luxury of tech> so progressive. I'm going to watch more episodes now and probably binge watch and plan my retirement years... seriously I'm sick with envy. peace. Alex

Fascinating,and very interesting. You can teach the world so much. Thank you from Australia

G'day, Michael! What a cool lifestyle. Good on you! I was on a commercial fishing trip in the 90's off Cape York, Queensland, when we got trapped at anchor for 2 weeks of rough weather and ran out of food. Since then, I've become rather expert in tropical native edible plants. I'll never go hungry on a tropical beach again!

What an awesome share...stay safe in all your journeys.

I like how you stated that we are a part of nature also. Most people get blinded by the whole political aspect of this lifestyle that they forget that.

I think it’s amazing how you are living. We have a bell tent so we can primitive camp. Good Job! Peace and Blessings

I love that you are doing this! Thanks for the video!

Respect this man,wow,thank you for sharing his story 🙏❤

I bought this as a gift for my friend kzread.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

This was really badass. Definitely dig it , great vid!

I've been all my life wanting this. Why not yet! Kids a wife lol. I lost my wife with the Lord now and I bought a motorhome thinking I'm ready as it sits outside not quite done. But it's still ingrained in my mind to do this. I've got many groups on line that are nomads in cars and many different ways of the nomad stile.yours is more my liking.ive always want too just work on the land and the way you have accomplished this!!! Just beautiful:)

It’s amazing how this is how everyone’s ancestors lived this way. I hope someday we can reconnect with all of our ancestors. This how all of our ancestors protected the land and our planet

You've come a long way Michael, very impressive. Your leatherwork and beading are of outstanding quality and all your skills have grown. Best wishes.

great video.. super inspiring! have a good winter this year!

That was awsome. I’d love to see more.

cool video - reminiscent of your earlier work..which is why i originally subscribed - keep it up Dylan! - thank you.

Hey my family is traditional Ojibwe we are going to construct a permanent Teepee that will be 24 to 30 ft with a second floor, this video is really helpful , we will probably get a horse luckily we have some Ojibwe horse that are made for forest where we live, and we have all the trees we need for the wood, we are going to set up trap lines and a pond for wild rice.

This is so cool. I'm so impressed. I've had dreams about this and I'm glad someone is out there doing it, because I probably never will, but that's ok. Lots of respect!

Awesome sauce! Keep it wild

Back to the basics . Superbulous !

I have a heater just like that one....I modified it by adding two parallel angle iron lengths on the inside , one on the left and one on the right, about 4 " down from the top running lengthwise ......On top of those rails I put a solid piece of heavier steel that is 6" shorter than the overall stove length and that has a handle on it that comes out in the front over the feed door so when I start the fire I build the initial fire all the way in the back and the slide pulled to the feed door front end ....Once the fire is going I slide the plate to the back closing off the easy escape up to the stove pipe thus making the flame / heat travel from the back to the front , over the plate and back to the back then out the exhaust pipe.....Makes for a lot more efficiency and heat production ......

I have that exact wood stove....pretty cool

It's not real though. The guy is almost entirely dependent upon the goodwill of others. The land he stays on for free, the truck he was given for free, the horses he was given for free, and the fan funding he gets to pay for all of his supplies. There's nothing heroic about this. He's living a literal fantasy life. Good for him and all, but there's genuinely nothing admirable about it.
