  • just dropped off our luggage it is really toasty  like it's actually nice and warm in there such  

  • a huge difference well there's a there's a wood  burning stove so yes so they lit the stove about  

  • a half an hour before we arrived and yeah let's  just take you inside so you can yeah i wish you  

  • could feel the water we kind of had to muster  our courage to come back out here to be honest  

  • we did so watch your head on the way in if you're  oh my god i just hit it watch out if you're tall  

  • watch out if you don't listen to instructions oh  my gosh of course that would happen to sam right  

  • after he's been warned so shoes off i brought  slippers so put them on i'm gonna put these on  

  • oh this is nice nice oh are those the ones you  got in chile or peru no these are from argentina  

  • and i got these before i even traveled  there with you i've had these for a while  

  • okay yeah these are special see the  secrets that we have secrets slippers  

  • okay so let's begin the tour basically what you  see is what you get open concept but basically  

  • the first thing you see as soon as you come into  the yurt tour aside from our luggage and scattered  

  • boots is firewood so this will keep you toasty  in the yurt no matter the weather outside then  

  • we have this little stand with a wash basin  kind of the old-fashioned way for a little  

  • bird bath base maybe armpits are yougood are you are you a good bird bather  

  • we'll find out are you a good bird bather you  bathe like a bird wall then we have a double  

  • bed yeah lots of blankets duvets i think we're  gonna be really warm we've got lots of layers  

  • plus the stove right if we keep going around  here they've left us filtered water for drinking  

  • and also a little tea pot yeah some teas  some matcha black tea we will make some tea  

  • yes on the wood burning stove the kettle  is already on the stove so we're good to go  

  • our little dining table two chairs we've gotnice candle some flowers and then information  

  • about the farm and how to operate the wood stove  here we have a dresser we have some matches  

  • in case we need them to start up the fire again  but i think we'll be okay yeah we really ought to  

  • tend to that well yeah we're not it's gonna it's  gonna determine our the comfort of our sleep yeah  

  • another bed this one's a single this one yours so  no you need to keep me warm tonight we're gonna  

  • use the double okay um yeah you could have up to  three people here then we have a lovely sofa couch  

  • yeah which is really close to the stove yeah we  can actually maybe even roast marshmallows from  

  • the couch wouldn't that be fun yeah we still have  them we'll roast the marshmallows you can even  

  • grab one a piece of kindling or something on the  stove yeah and that is the tour if you look up yes

  • and there's the view it's another cloudy day so  probably no stars tonight but if you got lucky  

  • yeah with clear with a clear sky maybe yeah and  something that's really cool for us on a personal  

  • level is that we've spent quite a bit of time  in yurts in the past we have yeah we traveled  

  • to kyrgyzstan twice we got to stay in yurts uh  actually many nights and so to be back in a yurt  

  • certainly reminds me of that trip we did a few  years ago central asia we have a lot more to  

  • see there in central asia i'd love to do that  okay so now that we are all settled into the  

  • yurt i wanted to take a moment to talk about this  week's video sponsor which is soundcore by anchor  

  • you may recognize the name because we have worked  with them before but today i wanted to tell you  

  • about their new product which is called the life  a2nc earbuds that i've been testing out and the  

  • cool thing about these earbuds is that they have  different settings you can select whether you're  

  • outdoors indoors or using public transportation as  you commute to work and based on that setting you  

  • can just watch as ambient sounds disappear these  earbuds also offer super clear calls because they  

  • have six microphones so that means you can even  use them in really crowded spaces where you have  

  • a lot of background noise and also their sound  provides 50 more bass so you can really get that  

  • thumping sound when you're listening to your music  without really sacrificing the clarity or treble  

  • and lastly they offer 35 hours of play time but  even if you only charge them for 10 minutes you'll  

  • get an hour and a half so that's pretty cool so if  you want to check them out we're gonna have a link  

  • in the description box below for you so we're now  going to visit the farm because apparently today  

  • is market day and they have lots of nice goodies  baked goods maybe we'll get a little sweet treat  

  • something to snack on with the tea yes and alsowant to visit watch your stuff huh the chickens i  

  • nearly stepped on a giant puddle yeah there's farm  animals to visit we can check out the barn and um

  • fire hasn't gone out we've still got flame in the  back we've got some calls going and i'll show you  

  • how to open it up in a minute but first i'm going  to throw this in here so this keeps it open up top  

  • the flute the flute and when you go to bed at  night when you don't want it to be burning as much  

  • you just twist it like that yeah about 90 90 we  don't want to close it completely or the fire will  

  • go out that's right we need to close it a bit  so it's a slow burn it's a slow burn and it's
