Good evening Lloyd,
I hope this message finds you warm and well! I’m sitting here on the North Shore of Lake Superior, where temperatures are dipping to forty below this week!
My wife and I purchased some land this past summer here in Minnesota, and we’re giving it a go. Learning from all of those who’ve inspired the movement for so many years. We put up our yurt right away, and are strategizing the gardens and cabin to come.
We put out a video on our winter setup at the yurt, and your “Small Homes” gets a cameo, as Sam prints a linocut on top. Thanks for all of the inspiration you’ve published and made available for the average folks like our selves. We’re still out there finding our way on the land!
Peace & health

We subscribed to your YouTube channel and really love what you’re doing. Love the yurt set up, the stories and linocut art. Very talented! God bless! 🙂
