I have to say this: my aunt moved from the city to a fully off grid cabin in the mountains, with rough winters etc. She was kinda blindsided by how hard it turned out to be, and is now just trying to make it as comfortable as possible with modern conveniences. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to want that middle ground, a cabin with already running water, heat, enough power, etc. I think that those things actually DO make a huuuuge difference in how much you enjoy the day to day. Yes her cabin is fun every once in a while, but basically everyone (including her) got sick of all the daily chores and inconveniences that off grid lifestyle requires. Also, you are allowed to change goals!!!! Let’s face it, if the tiny house just isn’t for you anymore, that’s ok!!! Take it from someone who spent a year and a half saving up and preparing for van life, only to find out I actually freaking hate living in a van😝
Thx for sharing!! I had the opposite experience. I moved to the country in 2020 and hated it. Literally had a psychotic breakdown but after that I slowly began to love it. It just took me awhile to get used to the quiet and the aloneness and eventually those things are what healed me. The daily chores ground me. I want to be totally off-grid one day with no WiFi especially. We’re all different that’s for sure!!
Totally agree with that, doing off grid is an experience to have for a while, but your time gets used doing one chore after another which have been made irrelevant by modern tech. A happy medium is definitely a good thing to aim for!
Absolutely right. I'll be 67 this month, and am forever thankful to have enjoyed those years. That I took risks, had adventures, even when thing's didn't go as planned.
The two of you together....it's beyond words! So special to be Blessed with a friendship like this! So intelligent, so full of life and inner happiness, so creative, so incredibly wonderful !!!! WOW!
Isabel! I don’t know how I never put it together before … but in this video your wide eyes and big smile about going into the freezing cold water … I was like this gal is a pisces. There is a special warmth yet chill to fall - active yet slowing down. a deeper celebration for life - more quiet. Sending some love from a fellow Pisces on the coast of Florida. That innate joy is a gift, keep sharing.
You and Hitomi made me tear up with your hello. It reminds me of how special it is when you put two wonderful souls in the same place you can really feel the energy roll off and it gave me a big smile seeing that 🤍
Your visit with your friend brought back so many memories...good ones. I'm "74" now and so many of my friends have died. However, I do have a few besties and we love each other very much. Thank you, for sharing. Sending love your way.
I'm 65 years old right now... and you have just taught me so much as to how to appreciate life, what is happiness and where it comes from !!!!.... you are captivating and I am really drawn to you and your well made videos, your voice is soothing.... you got plenty of sense regarding life for such a young person..... I truly admire that !!!... you have got a fan for life !!! - I don't even know how I reached your video but I'm glad that I did.... amazing young woman !!!
Does anyone else feel sad when her videos are over? haha I love when a new video comes out, I make myself a hot cup of tea, get all snuggled on the couch and just let the video take me away, its a nice little escape from my normal and makes me grateful for what I have, reminds me that you dont need all these things in life to make you feel full or fulfilled, its the little things in life that keep us happy and grounded, Thank you Isabel!
Yes, I used to watch Sunday on CBS, every Sunday morning as a peaceful ritual (I loved the animal features at the end of each show) until it became political & woke like every thing else in the media. I have replaced that Sunday morning ritual with a cup of coffee and the latest Isabel Paige vlog. A new ritual and definitely more peaceful and positive.
I get terrible gas. Maybe because I snuggle with a big steaming bowl of homemade sauerkraut, black beans and garbanzo beans. It is terrifying for those around me. Let's have tea together. I'll buy.
I had to comment that you made me have the BIGGEST SMILE on my face watching this video and cried tears of joy throughout sharing your sweet, tender, authentic moments of friendship and sisterhood together. Pure, real love. Makes me miss my friends that have moved away. Thank you filling up my cup! Grateful for your perspective and peace in these difficult times.
It’s so nice to see strong women being kind to each other! Women used to live and work together to raise children, care for their elders and to support each other… I wonder how society would be if we practiced that kind of community ❤️
Soon. Very soon now. The world will be split into two factions. The technocrats and the savages. Technocrats will have every convenience but no privacy or freedom. The savages will be free but will have no convenience. Hopefully we will at least have resources.
Society used to be like that not so long ago...until a social disease called feminism attacked the west. Now you can't dream about raising a children because our society is expensive and you need to be a cog like any other man.
Beautiful. I was so in love with the fabric colours. Each one a subtle and complimentary hue. I am also so amazed at how self sustaining you are with your garden now.
It's so reassuring to hear other people had similar struggles with and thoughts about yoga. I've watched Isabel do yoga and I wonder how it feels to do the poses in her body, because she looks so at ease. I tend to think, "Why is this so much harder for me then them?" This is a good reminder that growing usually invovles discomfort.
Thank you so much for another beautiful video Isabel! ❤️❤️❤️ You and Hitomi are the two main CZcamsrs I’ve watched for years, so it’s so wild seeing the two of you together!! 😂😂 So beautiful to see you two enjoying precious moments together! Your laughter together is so sweet! ☺️☺️
I enjoy watching your fabric dying so much. The muted colours of the earth are so soothing to look at. Your washing line is like a prayer flag to your surroundings ❤
Seeing you both together made me cry of pure joy and longing to have something similar. Thank you for sharing these sweet moments. It's so hard to forget what really matters sometimes, but when I enter one of your or Hitomi's videos I remember. p.d. the beetroot dye was so beautiful!
I live in Hoboken and watching you is like watching Pilgrim in his Tralfamadorian geodesic dome with me feeling like a Tralfamadorian visiting a human zoo. You are the sort of person that makes this world better. Before covid I almost decided to leave city life and start my third life (I am 63 and the first two were very interesting) off grid living in a van. I was glad I did not because covid made life in Hoboken as off the grid as you are. Anyways I find it moving how you quote Zen Monks and the like and share you experiences. I cannot abandon my city life but have indeed embarcked on a third life living as you do but still close to my own geodesic domed existence. Thanks for reminding me that your generation may be wiser than our own. I do hope you secure more comforts for yourself. As someone who set out to see the world and was lucky enough to do so at all levels of the economic starta there is nothing wrong with a washing machine an nespresso machine and an electric scooter to get ones groceries (in your case an Electric bike may do the trick). A Zen life need not be basic it only needs to be present in the here and now and also aware of both nature and human nature and opportunities to show compassion for humanity and be more of an authentic hujan being. Good luck. Sure wish I had met someone like you when I was in my twenties.
The night sky with trillions of stars is so beautiful. LOL, I got the biggest laugh out of the steps and noises that turned out to be deer. I've had that happen too. Whew, what a relief.
I sure love a fall harvest of strawberries too!! ❤🍓 There are June bearing strawberries and everbearing strawberries. The June bearing produce a larger harvest in the spring, while everbearing provides a spring harvest and then another in fall 😊
The dyed fabrics are so beautiful ! They came out amazing, excited to see what you make with them. The vibes of this video (and all your videos) is so calm and cozy. Stay blessed xo
You once said: "As long as Im doing the things that Im passionate about, life will bring me to where I need to go". I wrote it down right away, and remind myself of it every now and then. I love love love your videos ❤️ Greetings from Sweden.
This is by far my favourite video. A perfect reflection of the seasons changing and the magic you share with people who you love and inspire. Food, art, music and love. 🌙
the beetroot dye is a winner! happy to see you pull the pan drum out again. You and Hitomi are so lucky to know each other. such kindred souls. Logan joined the blundstone boot club! I frequently visualize floating in your river. Great video!
Fall/Autumn is my favourite season. The air is crisp, and you do not sweat. The leaves turn such a nice colour. It always reminds me of going back to school also.
I'm harvesting strawberries right here in Australia as I watch this. Amazing how we are worlds apart, coming into different seasons, but share a commonality :) Love your videos Isabel
Honestly, anyone that's a friend of yours is so very lucky. You are so special to so many people that have the privelage to enjoy a little part of of your life. You have so many friends you will never meet like me and at the same time I know we are all connected to one another. Your show proves that!
Oh Isabel....the beauty of this video is priceless. Loved seeing you with your friend and all the fun and laughs. Nature is the place to be for you girl. Oh my, the plentiful garden you have. Such a blessing. Love love love this video. I only wish I have a place like that to take a swim. So beautiful! Have a great week. Love you so much. Karen ❤️
That palette of natural colors you dyed those pieces of cloth with is really nice. Joyful episode, as Fall takes over your mountain landscape. My favorite time of the year. ✌🏼
Your videos truly bring me peace. I’m going through a pretty hard breakup and I cut this on just to journal. I wish things always felt this simple and aligned. Thanks for your content.
Cool, real nature, not artificial city living, that is what it is all about. No drugs, no smoke, no egos, just plain living programmed in us by Nature for millions of years.
Oh how wonderful I wish I could have a day like this with my daughter. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us it’s so genuine. I always look forward to your videos. Funny to hear you say that you’re struggling to be content when we all long to live the way you are. It’s all in prospective. When I get my degree I’ll be happy, when I get my home I’ll be happy, but as soon as you do, you’ll start to become unfulfilled again. It does start with yourself and everyone struggles with this. We love you look forward to your beautiful videos ❤
Ahwww such a beautiful video. I had to replay the part where you hugged a few times because it was too adorable. Hearing the two of you laugh together makes me so, so happy! And the ending made me feel something so nice, I can't even put it into words... Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽🧡🌻
Isabel another beautiful video and unbelievable how you have strawberries and raspberries beginning of October. Your fabric colors are amazing, the yellow so vibrant. Your garden is still beautiful and has provided you with much organic produce. The Best! The river looked lovely and cold. Brave girls. So nice to see you visit with such a lovely friend. I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for sharing your surroundings with us. Have a blessed week. ❤
Just so you know, I’ve been in a melancholy mood recently and your videos help me recalibrate my outlook on life. I dream of an independent simple life, where nobody controls my survival. I work full time nights in a noisy diesel engine factory, I don’t particularly hate my job but I’m not being used to my fullest potential which makes me feel unappreciated and suppressing my integrity, and when I’m not working I’m having lazy days and sleeping because I’m exhausted. So I don’t have any real free time to pursue personal interests, whilst trying to navigate and merge into an off grid minimalist lifestyle. Oh, it was also my step-grandads funeral on Friday, nearly every other week something goes wrong on my car and my love life is nonexistent.
You've come to the right place. But please do take care of you. Try being in nature and ask for guidance & inspiration. You are loved by all those above more than you will ever know. ✌️❤️😊
Oftentimes when we are off of our natural circadian rhythms it affects our moods. Not enough sunlight, awake while the world sleeps can be hard Our body rhythms are so important to well being. Asking for a shift change, resetting your clock. Keeping a journal of how you want to change, making a tiny step each week will move you to your goals. The best thing I ever did was do a year goal with my sons headstart director. It got me through my bachelor's. When you start to make small shifts and spend more time in these, its a form of self love. The more self love...bringing your dreams to fruition you give, the more likely I believe you will draw a counterpart. Keep a jar for dreaming...a place you start to put money or a box for resources for the changes you want to make. I have been struggling with this myself this year and list making and goal setting is helping. Also being in nature as much as possible. It resets and recharges our main frame
Condolences on the loss of a loved one. It is hard to stay positive when things start to pile up and we get sad, depressed, feel alone, and sleep because of work schedules and other things in life that happen. If you have a favorite park, or a river, stream, lake that you can go to in order to get fresh air, stretch your legs and breath deep fresh air then you will feel more relaxed and refreshed. We are at our best when we can find inner peace. I wish you well. Life will get better. I always tell my grandsons that God was my strength and Faith kept me going as I raised my son alone and had no family remotely close to me for emotional support, very few friends. Each day will get better. Take care.
I hope you find your turning point soon. I Always feel like, when my life is like that, gritty, slowish and bumpy, its like Im getting ready to change something important, its like shedding skin for me - like everything is warning me that a turning point is on the way. I hope you find your new path soon and that a shining hopefull new skin surfaces within you. I hope your hardships guide you to a more peacefull and joyous path, first to a place of passion and goal towards a bright outlook, and then, to a place of sharing and love with another.
You two are my favorite souls in the world. I’m so happy you found each other in this life. I literally laugh with you when you’re laughing together❤️❤️
I had the exact same experience with downward facing dog!! The thing is, I can't remember when it started feeling good, but it did! And now I can really understand the resting side of it ❤️
All the shades of yellow in this video make me so happy; the soft skies, the died material, joy & laughter, the evening colours on the trees 💛 Love your videos!
such a perfectly cozy vlog...filled with joy watching you two, it all seems so fun, especially having company to share the scary-funny moments! I currently live in Iceland and am sometimes really scared of the strong wind and the weird "airport lighthouse" that shines a very long, creepy light when I need to go to work. would love to have someone to share it with here but so far sometimes singing helps haha. hope you're having a wonderful time, thank you for your videos
I absolutely agree with you about what it is to find happiness. I lived in the southwest always yearning to be in the middle of nowhere and I moved to a remote salmon hatchery and worked as the maintenance manager. I remember walking to my place there and I just stopped halfway to my house and looked across the bay in amusement that I was finally where I had always dreamed to be !! Then the strangest feeling came across me and I felt the need to search for something else and I couldn't convince myself to remain at neetsbay because the insanity of feeling like I wasn't fully satisfied with life even though I was where I had always wanted to be. That led me to my father that was sick and I spent the last few years taken care if him until he passed away !! Now I just have a knot in my belly wanting the freedom of being in the middle of nowhere once again.
It is so healing to live in harmony with the seasons and the phases of the moon. You learn so much about your own cycles and how we’re always in some season of our own lives: resting, emerging, fruiting, or harvesting. When we honor the seasons as part of the whole, we honor the wholeness of ourselves. Thank you for this beautiful video, Is! Long time subscriber here. 🙏🏽🌝🍂🐈⬛✨
I'm almost 70 and giving myself a hard time for not keeping a better journal of the crazy midlife crazy journey that I'm still on. You are living a life that brings joy to you and to those you share it with. Feel the love and share the love. The rest is just the reality we create.
I love this so much, I wanna ship these beautiful souls together! Their energies towards each other just makes me smile so big and gets me all warm and fuzzy. They need to make a series together!!! 💞
This is what makes the internet and CZcams wonderful. When you come across a gem of a channel. A beautiful woman/women and awesome couple. I was deeply touched. I cried a little. When you have to climb a mountain everyday (figuratively), this episode was a brief escape to happiness in a happy place. Thank you very much for what you do. I was spiritually connected to “your vibe”.
Thank you for doing this, Iasbel. From the distance (I live in Italy) and in the uncomfort of having to watch you through a computer screen (which I do not like) what arrives to me is your way, to do whatever you do. For this I thank you: for your way and how well you show it in your videos. You coluld be doing anything: it is how you do it that gives the story a... flavour, and a rythm that resonates with mine, or maybe with what I am in search for, chasing. You make me feel less alone on my path. So, for this very precious feeling I get I am really really thankful. And thought you deserve to know.
What a pretty place. Couldn’t help but make you long for nature. I’ve been day dreaming of moving to the country for 20yrs or so. Was cool to see your girlfriend visit, how women can let there guard down and be silly and have fun together. Such different creatures and energy than men. The two best things on earth love and laughter.
This is one of my favorite ones yet, but wait...I think I say that every time!! I love the time with your friend!! I love how she said you make her feel alive... That's how you make me feel everytime I watch your videos!!
Another great video. It's amazing how calming your videos are for me. Your friend Hitomi is lovely and I'm happy for all of you. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Thanks for such a good video, A wholesome contrast to 99% of the awful content on CZcams and all of the van life & tiny house videos that are always five times longer than they need to be. This one is just right, the music the audio and the editing , and tasteful photography, all really nice and pleasing to see. I’m sure I speak for many in thanking you for helping others to relight a fire of enthusiasm and to rediscover simple joy, even though it does take work, it’s also nice to see a video for a change where the people in it are not wearing a bunch of logos or loud busy fabric designs. I realize you must’ve made this video quite a while ago and you’re probably in a whole other chapter now different place different lifestyle, just embrace it all and keep in mind our lives can and should be a series of stories, a book of chapters, sometimes we go back and relive the past chapter and sometimes we move forward to completely new challenges and sources of happiness. . peace
I enjoy these glimpses of life without supermarkets... my dad's parents came from Norway. They raised 12 kids and fed them from the farm animals and garden. Strong people. Lots of laughter. Lots of drama (2 children died fairly early... farming produces a lot of injuries as well).
I could watch your videos for hours and never get bored !!! You are so inspiring !!! We plan to have a full garden next spring and we are gonna have our own farm fresh eggs when we get our chickens I long to live like this I got herbal medicinal seeds in my Amazon cart ready to buy so I can make my own remedies thank you for sharing your life with us I pray that this winter is kind to you and Logan and your family love you Isabel ❤
Amazing video as usual Paige! I just moved to the Nordic woods and I'm uploading on CZcams about my daily life after moving here from Miami and on self improvement. The season is changing here as well and the nights are getting longer. Sending you and everyone here all my best 💜 Life hit me pretty hard. I'm actually coming up with a resource that helped me become the man I am today. I used to live in Miami being around street violence, guns, death, and I even used to eat $3 a day, 25 cents noodles, expired toast and canned campbell tomato soup. I survived the Boston Marathon Bombing which was a few feet away and I saw all the blood the people screaming and I was alone at 18. I also used to live in a room with no kitchen, trash bag as a window and bugs crawling on me at night. I also took boxing to protect myself and learned how to defend against bigger threats. Now I live in a cabin in the north of Sweden where I go down to a lake to breathe and heal my past and I post on CZcams to help others who need it the most. I'm going to come up with 20 minute mini documentary of all of this soon
OOOh I knew it was Hitomi for some reason! Love it! You must go and see Hannah in her new house with modern conveniences like baths and flushing loos!!! ❤
I like Logan’s shorter hair on the sides and long on top - looks good - you two are soooo cute! Hitomi also has a smile that lights up the room, just like you do Isabel - you are a bright light! Thanks for sharing your journey.
I have to admit you two girls are so refreshing. You put my being in a very special place. You open my eyes to see how beautiful this world can be. I envy the peace you have found. You are both very special.
ONe off the best ever… and I needed it so bad. I am in an isolated situation and have no of community or anyone close. I feared up quite a bit when you were interacting with your friend. There is just a ton of sadness and loss right now, but this video was sustaining. Like you were talking about earlier in the video and like Elkhart Tolle, who I have been hanging onto like a life preserver… the answer isn’t necessarily changing my circumstances… it is within. Your experiences with your friend and your close, lovely connection didn’t feel like something I was missing out on. I just accepted it to my heart as a reassurance from the universe transmitted by your kind nature. Namaste so much. ❤
Do you ever worry about mountain lions? They make some weird noises. Grew up in the woods I definitely came across them once in awhile. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing such fun and relaxing videos, they are nature satiating.❤
I live in ml country and have seen pictures of them in my area, but never in real life. I walk twice a day in the woods and weather permitting in the mountains. Seen bear, elk and bobcat, never ml. They know humans mean death to them. Still, running and mtn biking are not smart things to do where ml frequent.
@@PDogB I’ve been hunted by them before too… mostly they let me be, but under the right circumstances they considered me a potential meal. I was just glad I was near buildings at the time
@@cassiepatrick581 Were you running or mtn biking at the time? They have a strong prey drive to chase and that is most likely to be the cause of your problem with them. Young ones are curious and may be the most likely to be seen and easily frightened away. I carry bear spray with me at all times for anything that could possibly attack. Never had to use it though. It's always a good idea to protect yourself.
@@PDogB I used to live in the woods and grew up on a farm. Very common for ranchers and farmers to come across mountain lions. Not running or biking, just going about daily chores taking care of livestock. Dusk or dawn they tend to be out more as you feed the animals or put them away for the night when the mountain lions are looking for prey.
Years ago, I went from one extreme to another - hectic, city life to quiet, country life. Now, I'm somewhere in the middle...living in a coastal town that embraces the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. I also found that happiness is "an inside job". Yep, life is lived "inside out"...not "outside in". A journey of destination where in the end...we look back and marvel at what we created in our lifetime. Thanks for this video. Keep 'em coming!
The amazing thing Isabel is you can have the things you want and stay on the mountain. Up your Solar energy capacity and add on a bathroom to the tiny house. Then add a electric water heater and a septic tank. It will be a process but very durable.
Solar heat your water, copper tube your wood stove pipe(definitely need one), deep bury coils, the one from the seventies (Jean Paine) haystack-or with cattle, manure heat! Flush toilet? Fully vote on simple compost pile, sand, pine straw, leaves, (Compost design toilet Joseph Jenkins ‘95?). “Character Cat” will be best animal alert alarm. Summer heat buster, use a Thermal (screened roof vent using adjust with solar fan?, covered louver! Hey, this locale is heaven- but You do keep a shotgun?!
When I lived on a farm the fox would sound like crying babies and pterodactyles at the same time. Also be aware of coyotes and keep your cats away from them.
I have to say this: my aunt moved from the city to a fully off grid cabin in the mountains, with rough winters etc. She was kinda blindsided by how hard it turned out to be, and is now just trying to make it as comfortable as possible with modern conveniences. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to want that middle ground, a cabin with already running water, heat, enough power, etc. I think that those things actually DO make a huuuuge difference in how much you enjoy the day to day. Yes her cabin is fun every once in a while, but basically everyone (including her) got sick of all the daily chores and inconveniences that off grid lifestyle requires. Also, you are allowed to change goals!!!! Let’s face it, if the tiny house just isn’t for you anymore, that’s ok!!! Take it from someone who spent a year and a half saving up and preparing for van life, only to find out I actually freaking hate living in a van😝
That is the beauty and difficulty of life: you never know untill you try 💚 But who could silence the calling of a soul...
I'm anti-social & I still couldn't live in a van lol
Thx for sharing!! I had the opposite experience. I moved to the country in 2020 and hated it. Literally had a psychotic breakdown but after that I slowly began to love it.

@@soulofjo I love that…who could silence the calling of your soul. 💕
Totally agree with that, doing off grid is an experience to have for a while, but your time gets used doing one chore after another which have been made irrelevant by modern tech. A happy medium is definitely a good thing to aim for!
When you get older (like me 63), you will reflect and realize these were the very best days of your life. Enjoy every second. ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely right. I'll be 67 this month, and am forever thankful to have enjoyed those years. That I took risks, had adventures, even when thing's didn't go as planned.
Absolutely
I'm 65. I couldn't agree more.
I am 60 and it is so true! I Love watching this young woman enjoy some of life’s best moments!
74 here and I agree with you. What Isabel is experiencing and living in the moment is priceless.
The two of you together....it's beyond words! So special to be Blessed with a friendship like this! So intelligent, so full of life and inner happiness, so creative, so incredibly wonderful !!!! WOW!
Isabel! I don’t know how I never put it together before … but in this video your wide eyes and big smile about going into the freezing cold water … I was like this gal is a pisces. There is a special warmth yet chill to fall - active yet slowing down. a deeper celebration for life - more quiet. Sending some love from a fellow Pisces on the coast of Florida.

You and Hitomi made me tear up with your hello. It reminds me of how special it is when you put two wonderful souls in the same place you can really feel the energy roll off and it gave me a big smile seeing that 🤍
Yes I felt the same way! That part made me tear up too 🤍🤍
They are so joyful together and such kindred spirits❤
Such a beautiful comment, warms my heart 🥰🙏🏽
czcams.com/video/gsMYB0ErHTY/video.html
ditto. I liked when Hitomi said cheers and they tapped their sammiches. seems like real buddies.👍
I love when you say you are grateful to have a friend. It’s true that friendship is one of the most soul nourishing gifts of the universe.
Friendship is a gift from God.
Friend ship is the best relationnship
Are all 3 sex partners and live alone in the woods? Is this the relationship you are talking about? Never seen their videos before.
@@inflation1139 no youre funny this is her friend visiting, the brunette is a couple with the guy
@@inflation1139 ngl, I think I’ve seen this on one of those sights.
Your visit with your friend brought back so many memories...good ones. I'm "74" now and so many of my friends have died. However, I do have a few besties and we love each other very much. Thank you, for sharing. Sending love your way.

no

Yes!
I had to comment that you made me have the BIGGEST SMILE on my face watching this video and cried tears of joy throughout sharing your sweet, tender, authentic moments of friendship and sisterhood together. Pure, real love. Makes me miss my friends that have moved away. Thank you filling up my cup! Grateful for your perspective and peace in these difficult times.
It’s so nice to see strong women being kind to each other! Women used to live and work together to raise children, care for their elders and to support each other… I wonder how society would be if we practiced that kind of community ❤️
Soon. Very soon now. The world will be split into two factions. The technocrats and the savages. Technocrats will have every convenience but no privacy or freedom. The savages will be free but will have no convenience. Hopefully we will at least have resources.
Society used to be like that not so long ago...until a social disease called feminism attacked the west.
Now you can't dream about raising a children because our society is expensive and you need to be a cog like any other man.
❤️
I love it when you have your visitors..they all seem as sweet as you and you have such a connection with them
❤️ ❤️
You and Hitomi together just put this huge smile on my face every time. So sweet. :)
czcams.com/video/gsMYB0ErHTY/video.html
Beautiful. I was so in love with the fabric colours. Each one a subtle and complimentary hue. I am also so amazed at how self sustaining you are with your garden now.
Hi how are you doing?
It's so reassuring to hear other people had similar struggles with and thoughts about yoga. I've watched Isabel do yoga and I wonder how it feels to do the poses in her body, because she looks so at ease. I tend to think, "Why is this so much harder for me then them?" This is a good reminder that growing usually invovles discomfort.
Thank you so much for another beautiful video Isabel! ❤️❤️❤️ You and Hitomi are the two main CZcamsrs I’ve watched for years, so it’s so wild seeing the two of you together!! 😂😂 So beautiful to see you two enjoying precious moments together! Your laughter together is so sweet! ☺️☺️
I enjoy watching your fabric dying so much. The muted colours of the earth are so soothing to look at. Your washing line is like a prayer flag to your surroundings ❤
Seeing you both together made me cry of pure joy and longing to have something similar. Thank you for sharing these sweet moments. It's so hard to forget what really matters sometimes, but when I enter one of your or Hitomi's videos I remember.
p.d. the beetroot dye was so beautiful!
I live in Hoboken and watching you is like watching Pilgrim in his Tralfamadorian geodesic dome with me feeling like a Tralfamadorian visiting a human zoo. You are the sort of person that makes this world better. Before covid I almost decided to leave city life and start my third life (I am 63 and the first two were very interesting) off grid living in a van. I was glad I did not because covid made life in Hoboken as off the grid as you are. Anyways I find it moving how you quote Zen Monks and the like and share you experiences. I cannot abandon my city life but have indeed embarcked on a third life living as you do but still close to my own geodesic domed existence. Thanks for reminding me that your generation may be wiser than our own. I do hope you secure more comforts for yourself. As someone who set out to see the world and was lucky enough to do so at all levels of the economic starta there is nothing wrong with a washing machine an nespresso machine and an electric scooter to get ones groceries (in your case an Electric bike may do the trick). A Zen life need not be basic it only needs to be present in the here and now and also aware of both nature and human nature and opportunities to show compassion for humanity and be more of an authentic hujan being. Good luck. Sure wish I had met someone like you when I was in my twenties.
The night sky with trillions of stars is so beautiful. LOL, I got the biggest laugh out of the steps and noises that turned out to be deer. I've had that happen too. Whew, what a relief.
I sure love a fall harvest of strawberries too!! ❤🍓 There are June bearing strawberries and everbearing strawberries. The June bearing produce a larger harvest in the spring, while everbearing provides a spring harvest and then another in fall 😊
The dyed fabrics are so beautiful ! They came out amazing, excited to see what you make with them. The vibes of this video (and all your videos) is so calm and cozy. Stay blessed xo
You once said: "As long as Im doing the things that Im passionate about, life will bring me to where I need to go". I wrote it down right away, and remind myself of it every now and then.
I love love love your videos ❤️
Greetings from Sweden.
This is by far my favourite video. A perfect reflection of the seasons changing and the magic you share with people who you love and inspire. Food, art, music and love. 🌙
the beetroot dye is a winner! happy to see you pull the pan drum out again. You and Hitomi are so lucky to know each other. such kindred souls. Logan joined the blundstone boot club! I frequently visualize floating in your river. Great video!
Fall/Autumn is my favourite season. The air is crisp, and you do not sweat. The leaves turn such a nice colour. It always reminds me of going back to school also.
I'm harvesting strawberries right here in Australia as I watch this. Amazing how we are worlds apart, coming into different seasons, but share a commonality :) Love your videos Isabel
I remember when Isobel said she wanted to go back to Uni sometime. Variety is the spice of life, and being around people is good.
Your friendships seem so deep and intimate. That's something I look for more in my friendships. Disinhibited closeness. So special ❤️
I think they are all sex partners and are polygamist relationships. So yes it would be real deep

Honestly, anyone that's a friend of yours is so very lucky. You are so special to so many people that have the privelage to enjoy a little part of of your life. You have so many friends you will never meet like me and at the same time I know we are all connected to one another. Your show proves that!
Beautifully stated and I agree.
Oh Isabel....the beauty of this video is priceless. Loved seeing you with your friend and all the fun and laughs. Nature is the place to be for you girl. Oh my, the plentiful garden you have. Such a blessing. Love love love this video. I only wish I have a place like that to take a swim. So beautiful! Have a great week. Love you so much. Karen ❤️

This is a beautiful quote, thanks for sharing. ✌🏽❤
Wow the fabric that you coloured with natural elements 🤩 look how bright and beautiful they came out!! Gorgeous
That palette of natural colors you dyed those pieces of cloth with is really nice. Joyful episode, as Fall takes over your mountain landscape. My favorite time of the year. ✌🏼
Your videos truly bring me peace. I’m going through a pretty hard breakup and I cut this on just to journal. I wish things always felt this simple and aligned. Thanks for your content.
Cool, real nature, not artificial city living, that is what it is all about. No drugs, no smoke, no egos, just plain living programmed in us by Nature for millions of years.
Oh how wonderful I wish I could have a day like this with my daughter. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us it’s so genuine. I always look forward to your videos. Funny to hear you say that you’re struggling to be content when we all long to live the way you are. It’s all in prospective. When I get my degree I’ll be happy, when I get my home I’ll be happy, but as soon as you do, you’ll start to become unfulfilled again. It does start with yourself and everyone struggles with this. We love you look forward to your beautiful videos ❤
Ahwww such a beautiful video. I had to replay the part where you hugged a few times because it was too adorable. Hearing the two of you laugh together makes me so, so happy! And the ending made me feel something so nice, I can't even put it into words... Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽🧡🌻
Oh myyyyy I literally just a few days ago came across Hitomi's channel. You both are such beautiful souls, fun to see that you know each other!!
Isabel another beautiful video and unbelievable how you have strawberries and raspberries beginning of October.
Your fabric colors are amazing, the yellow so vibrant. Your garden is still beautiful and has provided you with much organic produce. The Best!
The river looked lovely and cold. Brave girls. So nice to see you visit with such a lovely friend.
I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for sharing your surroundings with us. Have a blessed week. ❤
Just so you know, I’ve been in a melancholy mood recently and your videos help me recalibrate my outlook on life. I dream of an independent simple life, where nobody controls my survival. I work full time nights in a noisy diesel engine factory, I don’t particularly hate my job but I’m not being used to my fullest potential which makes me feel unappreciated and suppressing my integrity, and when I’m not working I’m having lazy days and sleeping because I’m exhausted. So I don’t have any real free time to pursue personal interests, whilst trying to navigate and merge into an off grid minimalist lifestyle. Oh, it was also my step-grandads funeral on Friday, nearly every other week something goes wrong on my car and my love life is nonexistent.
You've come to the right place. But please do take care of you. Try being in nature and ask for guidance & inspiration. You are loved by all those above more than you will ever know. ✌️❤️😊
Oftentimes when we are off of our natural circadian rhythms it affects our moods. Not enough sunlight, awake while the world sleeps can be hard
Our body rhythms are so important to well being.
Asking for a shift change, resetting your clock. Keeping a journal of how you want to change, making a tiny step each week will move you to your goals.
The best thing I ever did was do a year goal with my sons headstart director. It got me through my bachelor's.
When you start to make small shifts and spend more time in these, its a form of self love.
The more self love...bringing your dreams to fruition you give, the more likely I believe you will draw a counterpart.
Keep a jar for dreaming...a place you start to put money or a box for resources for the changes you want to make.
I have been struggling with this myself this year and list making and goal setting is helping. Also being in nature as much as possible. It resets and recharges our main frame
Condolences on the loss of a loved one.
It is hard to stay positive when things start to pile up and we get sad, depressed, feel alone, and sleep because of work schedules and other things in life that happen.
If you have a favorite park, or a river, stream, lake that you can go to in order to get fresh air, stretch your legs and breath deep fresh air then you will feel more relaxed and refreshed. We are at our best when we can find inner peace.
I wish you well. Life will get better. I always tell my grandsons that God was my strength and Faith kept me going as I raised my son alone and had no family remotely close to me for emotional support, very few friends. Each day will get better. Take care.
I hope you find your turning point soon. I Always feel like, when my life is like that, gritty, slowish and bumpy, its like Im getting ready to change something important, its like shedding skin for me - like everything is warning me that a turning point is on the way. I hope you find your new path soon and that a shining hopefull new skin surfaces within you. I hope your hardships guide you to a more peacefull and joyous path, first to a place of passion and goal towards a bright outlook, and then, to a place of sharing and love with another.
You two are my favorite souls in the world. I’m so happy you found each other in this life. I literally laugh with you when you’re laughing together❤️❤️

🥰🥰🥰
Hello
The music and sound design are always so great. The piano while you were dying your clothes was so special. Props to Logan 🙌🏻
I had the exact same experience with downward facing dog!! The thing is, I can't remember when it started feeling good, but it did! And now I can really understand the resting side of it ❤️
Your videos make me stop and enjoy the little things in life ❤
All the shades of yellow in this video make me so happy; the soft skies, the died material, joy & laughter, the evening colours on the trees 💛 Love your videos!
such a perfectly cozy vlog...filled with joy watching you two, it all seems so fun, especially having company to share the scary-funny moments! I currently live in Iceland and am sometimes really scared of the strong wind and the weird "airport lighthouse" that shines a very long, creepy light when I need to go to work. would love to have someone to share it with here but so far sometimes singing helps haha. hope you're having a wonderful time, thank you for your videos
I absolutely agree with you about what it is to find happiness. I lived in the southwest always yearning to be in the middle of nowhere and I moved to a remote salmon hatchery and worked as the maintenance manager. I remember walking to my place there and I just stopped halfway to my house and looked across the bay in amusement that I was finally where I had always dreamed to be !! Then the strangest feeling came across me and I felt the need to search for something else and I couldn't convince myself to remain at neetsbay because the insanity of feeling like I wasn't fully satisfied with life even though I was where I had always wanted to be. That led me to my father that was sick and I spent the last few years taken care if him until he passed away !! Now I just have a knot in my belly wanting the freedom of being in the middle of nowhere once again.
It is so healing to live in harmony with the seasons and the phases of the moon. You learn so much about your own cycles and how we’re always in some season of our own lives: resting, emerging, fruiting, or harvesting. When we honor the seasons as part of the whole, we honor the wholeness of ourselves. Thank you for this beautiful video, Is! Long time subscriber here. 🙏🏽🌝🍂🐈⬛✨
Profound thoughts that made me tear up.
You always make me appreciate the seasons more 💛
czcams.com/video/gsMYB0ErHTY/video.html
Your vidoes are like a meditation for me, I just feel so enightened afterwoulds. Im so grateful for you and your art
You are so right about morning! I love to get up before light and sit outside if I can. Not the view you have, but there is magic in the morning .
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about happiness and what we sometimes believe will make us happier. Love the beetroot dye color!
The color that came from that beetroot is beautiful!
Beautiful content, Isabel! Loved to see Hitomi with you. I have been following her channel since last year. I love her videos too!
I'm almost 70 and giving myself a hard time for not keeping a better journal of the crazy midlife crazy journey that I'm still on. You are living a life that brings joy to you and to those you share it with. Feel the love and share the love. The rest is just the reality we create.
I love this so much, I wanna ship these beautiful souls together! Their energies towards each other just makes me smile so big and gets me all warm and fuzzy. They need to make a series together!!! 💞
This is what makes the internet and CZcams wonderful. When you come across a gem of a channel. A beautiful woman/women and awesome couple. I was deeply touched. I cried a little. When you have to climb a mountain everyday (figuratively), this episode was a brief escape to happiness in a happy place. Thank you very much for what you do. I was spiritually connected to “your vibe”.
thank you for all the coziest of vibes!! do what makes you happiest girl, even if it may contradict your previous selves ♥
Thank you for doing this, Iasbel. From the distance (I live in Italy) and in the uncomfort of having to watch you through a computer screen (which I do not like) what arrives to me is your way, to do whatever you do. For this I thank you: for your way and how well you show it in your videos. You coluld be doing anything: it is how you do it that gives the story a... flavour, and a rythm that resonates with mine, or maybe with what I am in search for, chasing. You make me feel less alone on my path. So, for this very precious feeling I get I am really really thankful. And thought you deserve to know.
I believe that Fall does give us “perfect” weather…. I am so thankful to live in a four season state …. However, Fall is a true blessing 😄
Hi 👋 how’re you doing?
I'm so happy seeing the two in one video, I suddenly missed my best friend and got an idea to visit her after my exams.
What a pretty place. Couldn’t help but make you long for nature. I’ve been day dreaming of moving to the country for 20yrs or so. Was cool to see your girlfriend visit, how women can let there guard down and be silly and have fun together. Such different creatures and energy than men. The two best things on earth love and laughter.
This is one of my favorite ones yet, but wait...I think I say that every time!! I love the time with your friend!! I love how she said you make her feel alive... That's how you make me feel everytime I watch your videos!!
It’s awesome to see Hitomi again 😊
how lovely to see both of my inspirations come together and enjoy their time together
What's the name of Isabel's friend? Is she on CZcams?

Another great video. It's amazing how calming your videos are for me. Your friend Hitomi is lovely and I'm happy for all of you. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Thanks for such a good video, A wholesome contrast to 99% of the awful content on CZcams and all of the van life & tiny house videos that are always five times longer than they need to be. This one is just right, the music the audio and the editing , and tasteful photography, all really nice and pleasing to see. I’m sure I speak for many in thanking you for helping others to relight a fire of enthusiasm and to rediscover simple joy, even though it does take work, it’s also nice to see a video for a change where the people in it are not wearing a bunch of logos or loud busy fabric designs.
I realize you must’ve made this video quite a while ago and you’re probably in a whole other chapter now different place different lifestyle, just embrace it all and keep in mind our lives can and should be a series of stories, a book of chapters, sometimes we go back and relive the past chapter and sometimes we move forward to completely new challenges and sources of happiness.
.
peace
I love your videos they help me come back down to earth 😊
Two water nymphs.
Please don’t call women ”nymphs”!
@@soilgrasswaterair Is that an insult?
I love your videos so much, been watching for a while it calms me down now matter how i was before i click the play.
I enjoy these glimpses of life without supermarkets... my dad's parents came from Norway. They raised 12 kids and fed them from the farm animals and garden. Strong people. Lots of laughter. Lots of drama (2 children died fairly early... farming produces a lot of injuries as well).
I’m going through such a hard time right now and I’m just doing some stretches and watching this video. I just feel so warm inside and I love you ❤️
czcams.com/video/gsMYB0ErHTY/video.html
i hope you feel better soon
So fun to see you both together!!!!!
I love the energy you and your friend have. you can tell their is much love there.
idk why but ur reunion with hitomi made me cry
I love the energy you bring out from each other. ❤
Oh my gosh,that yellow color!☀️💛☀️
I havent found you till now, I love the story telling and composition of your shots. Thanks for the great content :)
I could watch your videos for hours and never get bored !!! You are so inspiring !!! We plan to have a full garden next spring and we are gonna have our own farm fresh eggs when we get our chickens I long to live like this I got herbal medicinal seeds in my Amazon cart ready to buy so I can make my own remedies thank you for sharing your life with us I pray that this winter is kind to you and Logan and your family love you Isabel ❤
Amazing video as usual Paige! I just moved to the Nordic woods and I'm uploading on CZcams about my daily life after moving here from Miami and on self improvement. The season is changing here as well and the nights are getting longer. Sending you and everyone here all my best 💜 Life hit me pretty hard. I'm actually coming up with a resource that helped me become the man I am today. I used to live in Miami being around street violence, guns, death, and I even used to eat $3 a day, 25 cents noodles, expired toast and canned campbell tomato soup. I survived the Boston Marathon Bombing which was a few feet away and I saw all the blood the people screaming and I was alone at 18. I also used to live in a room with no kitchen, trash bag as a window and bugs crawling on me at night. I also took boxing to protect myself and learned how to defend against bigger threats. Now I live in a cabin in the north of Sweden where I go down to a lake to breathe and heal my past and I post on CZcams to help others who need it the most. I'm going to come up with 20 minute mini documentary of all of this soon
OOOh I knew it was Hitomi for some reason! Love it! You must go and see Hannah in her new house with modern conveniences like baths and flushing loos!!! ❤
czcams.com/video/gsMYB0ErHTY/video.html
Love you both ❤ Thank you for the peaceful and joyful experiences of watching your videos ❤
I like Logan’s shorter hair on the sides and long on top - looks good - you two are soooo cute! Hitomi also has a smile that lights up the room, just like you do Isabel - you are a bright light! Thanks for sharing your journey.
love how the colors came out. giving your cookbook to my granddaughters, 13 and 15, for their birthdays and introducing them to your channel. ❤
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Always absolutely amazing to watch your lovely vlog. Love from India 🥰
I have to admit you two girls are so refreshing. You put my being in a very special place. You open my eyes to see how beautiful this world can be. I envy the peace you have found. You are both very special.
ONe off the best ever… and I needed it so bad. I am in an isolated situation and have no of community or anyone close. I feared up quite a bit when you were interacting with your friend. There is just a ton of sadness and loss right now, but this video was sustaining. Like you were talking about earlier in the video and like Elkhart Tolle, who I have been hanging onto like a life preserver… the answer isn’t necessarily changing my circumstances… it is within. Your experiences with your friend and your close, lovely connection didn’t feel like something I was missing out on. I just accepted it to my heart as a reassurance from the universe transmitted by your kind nature. Namaste so much. ❤
Do you ever worry about mountain lions? They make some weird noises. Grew up in the woods I definitely came across them once in awhile. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing such fun and relaxing videos, they are nature satiating.❤
I live in ml country and have seen pictures of them in my area, but never in real life. I walk twice a day in the woods and weather permitting in the mountains. Seen bear, elk and bobcat, never ml. They know humans mean death to them. Still, running and mtn biking are not smart things to do where ml frequent.
@@PDogB I’ve been hunted by them before too… mostly they let me be, but under the right circumstances they considered me a potential meal. I was just glad I was near buildings at the time
@@cassiepatrick581 Were you running or mtn biking at the time? They have a strong prey drive to chase and that is most likely to be the cause of your problem with them. Young ones are curious and may be the most likely to be seen and easily frightened away. I carry bear spray with me at all times for anything that could possibly attack. Never had to use it though. It's always a good idea to protect yourself.
😊❤
@@PDogB I used to live in the woods and grew up on a farm. Very common for ranchers and farmers to come across mountain lions. Not running or biking, just going about daily chores taking care of livestock. Dusk or dawn they tend to be out more as you feed the animals or put them away for the night when the mountain lions are looking for prey.
Such a beautiful way to spend time together, the area looks lovely this time of year!! ❤️
Years ago, I went from one extreme to another - hectic, city life to quiet, country life. Now, I'm somewhere in the middle...living in a coastal town that embraces the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. I also found that happiness is "an inside job". Yep, life is lived "inside out"...not "outside in". A journey of destination where in the end...we look back and marvel at what we created in our lifetime. Thanks for this video. Keep 'em coming!
The amazing thing Isabel is you can have the things you want and stay on the mountain. Up your Solar energy capacity and add on a bathroom to the tiny house. Then add a electric water heater and a septic tank. It will be a process but very durable.
i think she already has all that at the cabin
At 7:07 she said she enjoyed the convenience of a flushing toilet, this implies she does not have that now.
Solar heat your water, copper tube your wood stove pipe(definitely need one), deep bury coils, the one from the seventies (Jean Paine) haystack-or with cattle, manure heat!
Flush toilet? Fully vote on simple compost pile, sand, pine straw, leaves, (Compost design toilet Joseph Jenkins ‘95?). “Character Cat” will be best animal alert alarm. Summer heat buster, use a Thermal (screened roof vent using adjust with solar fan?, covered louver!
Hey, this locale is heaven- but You do keep a shotgun?!
Friends are a wonderful gift!
This was very refreshing and wholesome to watch this video. People just living and enjoying life in nature.
The quality of your cinematography and sound are exceptional. Great editorial pace too. You're a great filmmaker!
When I lived on a farm the fox would sound like crying babies and pterodactyles at the same time. Also be aware of coyotes and keep your cats away from them.
I am SO glad I found you Isabel! You are so unique and beautiful.
Hi 👋how are you doing?
I cried watching this video. Two beautiful girls. Wish you both the absolute best!!
omg every cut was a painting. Your best show ever. More swimming please.
It’s really warm here on the BC coast as well. It’s weird to be sunbathing in October. I LOVE the colour of the beet dye, I’m obsessed
