Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! 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, bees, 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/arielcelestepho... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

    I wish all people cared about their animals like you do. I know the birds will appreciate it.

    Excellent work. You will be enjoying having Clay to have the time now, with his marvellous abilities, helping you Arial. You are particularly handy but male strength is such a bonus and his knowledge, skills AND equipment must make your life somewhat easier I’d guess. Plus you are a fast learner my dear Arial. Now with your brother living close by, two men helping with chores must indeed be an absolute bonus. Spring is definitely here in New Zealand though this year we have had lots of gales but summer is ahead and I’ve been getting my veggies planted and annuals around my several new roses. You will enjoy your coming winter I am sure, especially the snow. We had no snow in Christchurch this year, but my old home at the foot of the mountains running down the back bone of the South Island here in NZ, has had plenty I’d say. I miss the snow myself though this city just shuts down if it’s too heavy simply not being prepared to cope. I miss having my own chickens with their eggs quite dreadfully. Pale yolks and not the same flavour although I try to always buy free range eggs, but I do wonder WHERE they are ranging if they don’t have beautiful orange yolks especially in the summer when the grass is plentiful.

    @Ariel if you have a look at what Etic & Arielle from Simple Livjng Alaska just did on their new property ti winterise the chicken run. Much the same as you've done but with some clear plastic corrogated sheets to keep out the blowing snow/rain and snow from snowdrifts. Just a suggestion I thought may help as they live in a very similar cold climate and maintain a very warm dry healthy environment for their birds also. Great to see you having Clay to help you with that heavy silage tarp, but what a blessing it will def be. Thankyou for sharing & til next time. May peace love and joy abound in your hearts as you serve the risen King of Glory. From Australia 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👌👍✌️👏👊🇺🇸

    Ariel on thing I must say I take away from your channel is that you constantly prove that it doesn't matter where you live Climate, Temps, Altitude wise you can raise have chickens/ducks & a Garden... You do so much research on what works where you live. For ex the Icelandic Chickens/Ducks for colder places like Wyoming.... Thanks to you & Clay for the content
