play00:00

for this week's video I'm visiting a few

play00:01

of the world's tiniest houses why

play00:03

because I'm pretty tiny myself and it

play00:04

makes me feel better when other things

play00:05

are tiny too so I patched my bags and

play00:08

drove 3 hours to my first tiny house and

play00:10

you probably think this tiny house is

play00:11

going to be really nice think again no

play00:14

I'm just kidding this place is actually

play00:15

really cute so the listing says not to

play00:17

overpack and I did the exact opposite of

play00:20

that so they call this tiny house The

play00:22

Hobbit house I think I know why and they

play00:24

say it's a fun adventure for a couple

play00:26

looking to relax and enjoy nature well

play00:28

I'm here by myself so I hope I still

play00:29

have to a regularized person yeah this

play00:31

would be a hobbit house but for me it's

play00:33

pretty homey I'm here by myself I'm

play00:35

alone make noise if you want to be my

play00:37

friend make another noise if you want to

play00:39

be my friend all right let's go look

play00:41

inside our first tiny

play00:43

[Music]

play00:47

house you know I see now why she said

play00:50

not to overpack oh my God you guys okay

play00:52

I knew that this was going to be a small

play00:54

house but holy crap this is miniature

play00:58

play01:00

here we have our kitchen the dining room

play01:02

table and the bathroom you know the

play01:04

bathroom is awfully close to the kitchen

play01:06

that's a little gross so the owner of

play01:07

this tiny home actually said not to use

play01:09

the toilet inside the house but to use

play01:10

the one that's outside so we're going to

play01:13

find that at some point this house is so

play01:14

tiny that they didn't even have room for

play01:15

a bed so they built it into the wall

play01:17

let's try to get in this

play01:20

thing we got

play01:22

it I deserve a nap after that climb the

play01:25

shower is outside I don't think I'm

play01:27

going to be using this cuz it's pretty

play01:28

cold out here and that's the the only

play01:30

reason why I'm not showering not because

play01:32

I don't normally shower I'm just kidding

play01:34

I'm going to use the shower obviously

play01:36

for

play01:37

sure the toilet now a fun fact about

play01:40

this toilet it's actually a compost

play01:41

toilet meaning it gets rid of the waste

play01:44

for you all you have to do is do your

play01:46

business which which I don't do but once

play01:49

that's done you put some of this inside

play01:52

the toilet mix it around a little bit

play01:53

and then it's gone now where exactly

play01:56

does it go

play01:58

I

play02:01

we're good with that I think so we've

play02:03

seen pretty much everything the house

play02:04

has to offer but on the listing it says

play02:05

that there's some horses on property so

play02:07

you know the tiny house is actually on

play02:09

over an acre of land so it might be kind

play02:10

of hard to find the horses hopefully we

play02:12

can find them I found the

play02:14

horses that's what I thought I think

play02:16

this is where the horses are supposed to

play02:19

be we we found the horses you're just a

play02:22

tiny little horsey you're just a cute

play02:24

play02:43

inside is something pretty

play02:44

play02:47

play02:48

bigger than the actual house but

play02:49

nonetheless what do you say we take a

play02:51

dip Let's test the water

play02:54

out not a Jacuzzi so I just got word

play02:57

from the listing that the jacuzzi is not

play02:58

a Jacuzzi um it's actually something

play03:00

called a cowboy pool and it's used for

play03:02

cold plunges so the sun's coming down

play03:04

play04:34

weird obsession with glass houses

play04:36

I'm seeing is dirt perfect location to

play04:45

be off the grid without being off the

play04:48

grid well I I don't have any cell

play04:49

play04:51

20 minutes away if anyone wants to kill

play04:53

play05:27

we were going to tiny houses but I

play05:28

didn't think they were going to be this

play05:30

tiny now I know how everyone feels when

play05:32

they see me for the first time cuz I

play05:34

like to lie about my height you know I

play05:35

say I'm a solid you know 53 to 55 I'm

play05:38

going to be completely honest right here

play05:40

right now I'm 5 foot I tell everyone I'm

play05:42

5'1 pretty sure if you look up my height

play05:45

it says 5'1 and it's a lie but they

play05:47

didn't lie about how tiny these houses

play05:49

were one thing about this tiny home is

play05:51

the view actually is endless a lot of

play05:53

dirt all of these homes are in very

play05:55

remote places and I have no cell service

play05:57

play06:01

prepared let me show you what we have in

play06:03

here we have a cook set propane a

play06:05

Lantern mini spoons mini Forks Top Ramen

play06:08

my PJs and a lighter so basically I have

play06:11

everything I

play06:12

[Music]

play06:13

need I found the amenities let's see

play06:16

what this house has to offer so here we

play06:18

have the shower literally out in the

play06:21

open Naked and Afraid am I right oh wait

play06:23

does water come out of here as well okay

play06:25

I spoke too soon I think the shower

play06:26

might be pretty

play06:28

cool

play06:30

it's broken but hey it's not so bad we

play06:32

have a Jacuzzi that has no water in it

play06:34

but it does come with this cute little

play06:35

bonfire situation and three extra chairs

play06:38

if anyone wants to join me anyone

play06:42

literally anyone as I made a treacherous

play06:44

journey into the unknown land of the

play06:46

desert my only worry is that I would get

play06:47

lost on my way back yep I'm definitely

play06:49

lost I am getting a little bit worried I

play06:51

don't really know which way to go and

play06:53

obviously I don't have a lot of food or

play06:55

water out here

play06:58

so never been in these kinds of

play07:00

conditions before there's about 2 hours

play07:02

before the sun goes down so that's how

play07:03

much time I have to find my tiny house

play07:05

before something out here finds

play07:07

me I really hope there's nothing out

play07:10

here

play07:15

oh okay you guys it is getting dark and

play07:18

I'm just now getting back to my Dome I

play07:20

think it's time to go inside make some

play07:22

dinner and then go to sleep and I forgot

play07:24

there are no lights in

play07:26

here I told you this Lantern would come

play07:28

in handy like I said you guys there are

play07:30

no lights in here so it's pitch black

play07:32

without this on and it's also freezing

play07:33

so I'm going to make some soup to warm

play07:35

myself up along with my tiny home I have

play07:36

a tiny stove and we're going to make

play07:38

some Ramen hopefully this will warm me

play07:40

up for the night drop it in here think

play07:42

it's time to use my mini Forks look at

play07:44

how cute these little Forks are are you

play07:46

kidding now we're going to add some

play07:47

seasoning probably wasn't the smartest

play07:49

idea for me to buy mini Forks I'm like

play07:52

burning my hand every time I try to stir

play07:54

this I didn't bring any bowls or plates

play07:57

or anything so this we'll have to do

play08:00

I'm not going to lie to you this is

play08:02

really really good like this is Gourmet

play08:04

all right I'm going to finish my dinner

play08:05

and then we're going to go to bed you

play08:07

guys it's literally so cold in here and

play08:09

honestly I'm just trying to make it

play08:10

through the night so as I began to

play08:11

settle in for the night I couldn't help

play08:13

but feel isolated from the rest of the

play08:14

world and I could barely sleep you guys

play08:16

it is literally 3:00 a.m. and I cannot

play08:18

sleep because I'm so cold I have three

play08:20

blankets on me and it's just not enough

play08:22

I'm going to try to get some sleep all

play08:23

that I have to do is make it through

play08:24

tonight so hopefully the next time I see

play08:26

you guys it will be in

play08:27

the well we did it I'm probably going to

play08:30

get sick after the night I just had but

play08:31

we still have another tiny house to go

play08:33

see so I think we have to head out and

play08:34

play11:24

cheers mhm this is my first real meal in

play11:27

3 days I think it's safe to say that we

play11:29

saved the best tiny house for last

play11:31

luckily for me this place comes with a

play11:32

sauna cuz it's literally 50° outside and

play11:35

it says reserved on the door who do you

play11:36

think that's reserved for I'll give you

play11:38

a hint there's nobody else here all

play11:40

right you guys I just got into the sauna

play11:42

and it literally feels so nice in here

play11:44

technically this is a wood burning sauna

play11:46

so let me show you how it works so you

play11:48

take some of this water and then you

play11:50

pour it over these rocks and it ignites

play11:52

the fire making it even hotter in here

play11:56

okay let's see what else they have this

play11:58

place also comes with a mini pool which

play12:00

I will not be using because it's a

play12:02

little dirty all of these tiny homes

play12:04

have outdoor showers and I'm not

play12:05

complaining and neither are my neighbors

play12:08

I'm just kidding I I'm sure if they saw

play12:10

that they'd be like my eyes now the last

play12:12

shower didn't work so let's see if this

play12:14

one

play12:16

does yep works since we're at a tiny

play12:19

house I also have a tiny fire that's why

play12:21

it's such a small fire not because I

play12:23

don't know how to start one so you can

play12:25

get marshmallow kits for two but uh

play12:27

there's only one of me so I'm going to

play12:28

be eating for two and as I was enjoying

play12:30

my sores the owner of the Airbnb sent me

play12:32

a chilling message the owner sent me a

play12:34

list of house rules so she says be sure

play12:37

to not put the thermostat over 76° make

play12:39

sure you put the fire out before going

play12:41

inside be sure to close all doors and

play12:43

windows because we have coyotes

play12:48

Scorpions No I'm not the biggest fan of

play12:51
