That is such a heartwarming video, getting out of the city and starting a self-sufficient way of life, is a great way to truly bond as a young family! way of life
Never would have thought living in a tent in the middle of winter could be that comfortable! Stayed in a bell tent in Northland during March (!) a couple years ago and it was FREEZING overnight.
Beautiful video!! Great story. I have a question for Morgan and Jessica - what material is their yurt made from? Is it canvas or plastic based? It looks wonderfully clean and free from mould -we have really struggled with our canvas yurt in Otaki Gorge. I would also be interested to know if their yurt is insulated - thanks
Hey! From the inside out, it's canvas, wool insulation, builders wrap, PVC. Having the woodburner or some other sort of heating I think is key to preventing mould, we did encounter some after a run of warm, humid days when we had our laundry indoors, so now we'll start a fire even if it's not cold, if we think it's too moist out.
Yes, though I try not to work full days if I can avoid it! Having a laptop as my main computer helps, because you can scale your power usage if you need to.
Would you live in a yurt?
Yep
Just spent 3 days in one during the worst weather ever in Northland. Dry, and with a fire going it turned into a sweat lodge LOL!
@@barrythomson8770 Ha Ha, that is something to consider.
Thanks GridFree - great video. Good people, their happiness and ease with themselves and their lives shines.

It's definitely brought them closer together! So good for the soul too.
What a neat story, I loved it when she said everything takes time be patient ❤
Good advice aye! Off-grid life really is a journey, just chipping away a bit each day.
It is a theme in all of the videos in this series
❤great couple full of love for each other.
Such an inspiring family ❤️
Beautiful story! This has convinced me to buy a yurt ❤
Go for it!

It was so nice and warm inside! The insulation definitely helped keep the warmth of the fire in.

@@GridFreeStore I definitely will !!really enjoyed that video brilliant interview thank you.🙂
I wonder if I could convince my partner to go for something like this! Is Morgan able to work a full day purely off-grid?
It's worth a shot! Yes, Morgan can work full days off-grid 🙌
Good luck 😉
