Homemade Spaceship: a handbuilt tiny American Dream house

Kyle and Jeannie wanted to own their own home, but they weren't sure where they wanted to live and they didn't want to spend a lot. So they bought a used trailer ($600) and built themselves a 60-sq-ft house on top. Kyle and Jeannie chronicle the 7 months from when they began the project through their first few months living in their Homemade Spaceship in the wilderness near Moab, Utah.

can you find out from them what type of wood stove is that i need one for my camper

[kirstendirksen]

@chamblizi It's a Tiny Tot marine stove. If you want a link to it, I put one in the original story text (see the link above).

Does anyone have the music near the end of the video? I like it :3 thanks

[kirstendirksen]

@Alavistaven2012 I used music loops from the Apple program Garageband. I alternated between these three: Upbeat Electric Piano 2; Southern Rock Organ 1; Steel String Slide 7

This channel has done nothing but put up the best most informative videos on sustainability, self sufficiency, and good natural living.

So cool. Any idea how we can see/buy their art?

[thegreatestaudiobook]

This video inspires me...I have always felt drawn to do something like what you two are doing but I've been bogged down with grad school and what-not for a while...you two are inspirational...you are traveling the world and now the country...I just want to know how you two found each other...how did each of you find someone so compatible with to yourself in that you two can pick up and go together where ever...I think you two have something very special and you should cherish each other always

l have high self control & have no psycho issues. & Bathing is important to most humans.

l was responding to Chaosmeika & various others who asked the same ? to no avail as no1 ever answered.

Moreso, it wasn't mentioned in the video where it should have been stated. Such as, "The don't bathe" or "They heat up river water & made a make shift shower using a bucket" or "They bum showers from friends," etc.

[NoService01]

This is great, thumbs up to the pair of you. It has really put a smile on my face...truly making the most of things.

@chaosmeika

& NO1 has YET replied to WHERE they BATHE!

[UmyNEPHEW]

Where do they get food, how do they pay for it?

[greenknitter]

@Set2Survive

Yes I do get it. The word has come to be used as a pejorative term by many short-sighted and close minded bigots, with the unspoken words usually attached -"dirty" or "lazy", "druggies" etc. I generally like to assume the best in people and just going by your reply my default opinion had to be you were not being disparaging, you simply labeled them as hippies (whatever that may mean to you).I meant my post in a gentle way as a plea for understanding, not admonishment of you ;-)

[Set2Survive]

@greenknitter You're right. That IS your opinion. And I'm not sure if you get this or not, but "hippie" isn't considered a negative label unless youre close minded.

[greenknitter]

@Set2Survive

The reason they're doing it is so they can travel around exploring different places cheaply and sustainably whilst doing what they love-making art and crafts. It's a great way to find out where they eventually want to settle too. Better to see them as individuals, be open and humble enough to appreciate that we could learn something meaningful from them, or at the very least see the simple beauty in what they're doing than place trite meaningless labels on them, IMO.
