Living in a REAL Hobbit House in Canada!
Exploring a real life hobbit house in the middle of nature in Quebec was such a lucky find! I have been to Hobbiton in New Zealand, and although the grounds are spectacular, it feels like it's missing not being able to stay inside a hobbit home. Well this place in Quebec, Canada sure solves this problem. This place is a dream come true for Lord of The Rings fans!

Bunny chow is Durban food
One of the most wonderfully outwordly beaches ,if no the onely of its kind on the Earth !!! You should swim more time there !
Thank you for sharing this video,hope you upload more videos from the Philippines especially during Christmas and New Year
Guinea pig so delicious
I love granadilla
Uhm...which part was South African???. Bunny chow...best in Durban. We dont eat lintels and samp...maybe samp and beans. Even the beer is only had at traditional African events ans are supposed to be made from sorghum and more pinkish of colour. Chakalaka spot on..but only as a side dish with pap. We eat braai vleis/siza nama(bbq) and pap...always pap. And in Cape Town you eat the Gatsby. So a very poor touristy crap food tour
A bunny chow was a dish created by the Indian indentured labourers that the British brought to South Africa to work in the sugar cane fields in KwaZulu Natal. Back in the day when plastic bags wasn’t a thing, the labourers carried lunch into the field so the loaf of bread was hollowed out and filled with curry. And plugged with the bread that was removed. Bunny Chow in Cape Town is very watered down but if you have it in Durban you will get the best version of the dish.
That bunny chow is not the real deal wrong colour come to durban and have a proper bunny chow
I can't believe she never had a bunny chow we South Africans love bunny shows. I cant eat them often because ill get fat but its very delicious. It's an Indian South African dish.
Do we know what the best equipment is.... like might help on the support if someone sorta found out what would be the best of the best to help them with the least resources - and sorting out they get the right thing that they will actually wanna use.
If you want a proper bunny chow you come to Kwa Zulu Natal it was invented here not in India
If it was a proper Hobbit house, the earth berthing on the roof and the three sides (earth makes for great insulation), plus the thickness of the front wall, should be able to keep the interior at 50F or higher without the woodstove being fired up, no matter how cold it is outside. The windows would then be the only place for heat loss in the house. Therefore, in a modern, 21st century Hobbit house, you need to use double- or even triple-pane glass in the windows to minimize heat loss. You'd also want to make the windows smaller than this house has. That would cut down in heat loss, too. I plan on building a Human scale Hobbit house, but I'm going to include electricity. That way, besides the woodstove and fireplace, I can incorporate a geothermal-based radiant floor heating and cooling system. This system is in my plans because I read an article about a man who built an earthship in the mountains and was going to go without a heating system, but the county home inspection office wouldn't let him do it ; they insisted he put a heat source in his house. I imagine a lot of county offices would make such a demand. BTW my electricity will come from a microhydro power plant (the right system can provide enough electricity for about 30 average American houses). Backup will be provided by a solar/wind power "orchard," a combination of solar power arrays and wind turbines (the kind that look kind of like plastic 50 gallon drums). Water will be come from a well and a rainwater catchment system. Gray water will go to a tank for use in my raised bed garden and orchard of dwarf fruit trees. Other wastewater will go through a series of septic tanks. I want my place to be completely offgrid.
Sorry I'm from Cape Town and you do need a better tour Guide.
MQomboti traditional beer, you're right is like a porridge is like a porridge it is made from a porridge grain called Sogum.
They have air conditioning?
Missed out on poitjie kos.
Isn't Coco Maggio Argentinian?
Hi! I represent a RUclips channel, and my team would like to get permission to use one of your videos. I'll be more than happy if you could contact me
I have some experience in doing such so I'm certain that wood heating stove didn't work very well for cooking on (takes a special kind made for cooking). That's why you had Ramen, could only get a kettle of water barely warm enough to make a Cup of Noodles.
How did mymar Malaysia influence South Africa wth?... Man Them spices we're brought By Indian Tanks and Horses South Africa is Africa! Decoded genius😂 bun,bum Says that Indians like me We're dragged too RSA. To Help industry and infrastructure and used to Make a economy 😮
Very good video, but why do Americans speak so fast? I wish to relax when viewing this kind of foody and human interaction clip, especially when it is in my beloved , beautiful and wonderful Cape Town!
We are so diverse, you can spend years here and never truly experience the food, I am literally talking as a South African who lives here... We have such a mish mash of cultures, even each major city has a favourite street food, e.g. Joburg Korta, Durban Bunny Chow and Cape Town Gatsby
Should have left the sock on fire in hahaha
Beautiful
why don't you drink the mead with horns?
Stupid house, no electricity. Cooking must be a nightmare.
2 years no videos? u alive?
Unfortunately i was excited about the video presentation lost interest right away should live in a yurt greetings from southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😮
Why is this a Hobbit House? If you read the BOOKS, it states very clearly that they extend into the hill, and they have many passages, and tunnels. There are many storerooms to keep the food, beer and wine in. There are always, at least, two kitchens, and many bedrooms for the guests. There are libraries, many fireplaces, (not stoves), and always a bread oven. I've never seen a proper Hobbit House, even the ones in the films are studio mock-ups. It would be great to build more than 8 rooms, with connecting tunnels and passages, so why has it not been done?
mate these are normal people with normal jobs using extra money to build a beautiful hobbit inspired home. While agree a more realistic hobbit house would be very cool, its not really that feasible. Hollywood budgets very different.
I hate capitalism. What a wretched, inhumane system
Sarsa of red onion, doesn't Pico de gallo🙄
their bedrooms were never when you walk in ...not a hobbit hose !!!!!!!! boring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys. You need to eat that with the your hands.
NOT GOOD AT ALL..... SORRY BUT ITS LIKE A FUNERAL HOME..... THEIRS NO AMBIANCE..... USING SOLAR ENERGY, YOU COULD HAVE MOOD LIGHTING AND ADD SOME WARM COLOURS OF YELLOW WARMTH AND GREEN. IT LOOKED JUST DRABBY.
Eating a bunny chow in Cape Town is like eating a spaghetti bolognaise in India. If you want a really good authentic bunny chow, you need to go to Durban.
Durban is a slum
@@itsyaboi2l2q That it may well be these days, but they still make the best bunny chows in the world.
@@Anglo-Saxon-Patriot fair enough..good food
@@itsyaboi2l2q I spent many years in Durban back in the 70's and 80's so I grew up on lots of Indian food and bunny chows. I eventually became a chef in London and used to make authentic lamb and chicken bunny chows for friends on weekends. They were extremely popular with my mates but I learned how to make them in Durban.
@@Anglo-Saxon-Patriot sounds great, wouldnt mind trying your food...and sorry about my initial comment, was in poor taste.
I love the idea but i would put in floor isolation, gapped wooden floor so its nice to walk on barefeet. Also have your walls isolated and use double windows to retain heat, this way you burn less and keep more heat. Candles are nice but in the long run cause soot to build up in your home and can be unhealthy (because of the soot) Either build in some led candles and a solar system to have some form of electricity. If you are living off-grid in such cold temperatures you can build a storage tank system that gets heat from the chimney to melt snow to water and use a filtration based system to have drinkable water and for showering and dishes using an electrical water pump from a camper.
insulated... not 'isolated'
Laughed too hard when he said Indian settlers
Bunny chuw and umqombothi are South African food
I'm from cape town it makes no sense that you tried a bunny cho in cape town but you didn't try a gatsby.
Yeah for sure, i was trying to focus on foods from all over SA not just capetown. I did have gatsby on the list actually but i was filming this in March 2020 over a couple days, then covid started and I had to fly out of africa ASAP as the president was closing down the border to flights. I also had planned on going to a winery and an ostrich farm
Once saw this video 😊
