Living off the grid has been a dream for Cody and Jo, and they have made it a reality by moving their family into a yurt. With no electricity or running water, they’ve designed a lifestyle that brings them closer to nature and each other. The video walks viewers through their unique home setup, from the cozy wood-burning stove that heats their home to their outdoor freezer and creative solutions for everyday tasks.
In the kitchen tour, Jo explains how they manage cooking and food storage without the modern conveniences most families are used to. They use a gas camp stove to prepare meals and rely on a mini fridge and cooler system to keep perishable items fresh. The kitchen is compact, but well-organized, with shelves added over the last year to maximize counter space. It’s a great example of how to make the most out of limited space in an off-grid home.

While living in a tiny space can be a challenge, Cody and Jo emphasizes how much closer it has brought the family. With children sharing a bunk room and no extra room to spread out, they’ve found a deeper sense of connection and teamwork. Jo shares how each child has their own space within the yurt and how living in a small house is a trade-off for the immense freedom they enjoy on their five-acre homestead.
