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 https://mewe.com/join/arielcelestephotography  or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

  1. That is so smart making use of your fence that way while discouraging the quack grass.
    I wish there was some natural solution to quack grass … I wonder if a close grazer like sheep or goats could eradicate it in the rest of your property if confined to one section at a time?

  2. It is nice to see Clay getting into the videos more. Bless You both. Looking forward to seeing more videos during the colder months, when you are not so busy gardening.
    Really looking forward to your new house build!!!

  3. I feel strongly that your new fence will keep those dang chickens out of the garden. Always great to see you Ariel, and now Clay too!

  4. I've got hundreds of black raspberry bushes I can send your way! At some point they'll have to be removed since our property has literally thousands of the thorny bushes…along with blackberry bushes, which I'd gladly share…and a few others….we designed our garden with a heavy duty tarp to keep the weeds and girls from digging and it worked like a charm. Good luck with the new layout and keeping the girls from the garden…Thanks for sharing.

  5. So glad you had a plan to deter chickens when needed, and making plans for future gardening of berries. Yum!

  6. Interesting and useful thankyou Clay. 👍 Its a delight that Ariel has you as her right hand man on a permanent badis now you're retired. I'm so glad theres plenty to do on the homestead as you and Ariel move forward and develope this land. Winter is alwys perking over your shoulder when youre that hogh up on the mountains. How good it will be Ariel to get the upper hand on that terrible quack grass !!! Many blessings y'all from Australia 🇦🇺 🤗🙏💞👌👍✌️👏👊🇺🇸
