For the past 4 years (2019-2023), tiny house life has been front and centre in our world. Before that, we were on a path to something tiny house and minimalism related for several years. It is exciting now that it has fused into a vision where we are living in the house and want to share more of this life and opportunity with others. Enter: Heidi and Mike’s Big Tiny Adventure on YouTube!

Up until recently, the ongoing videos I did for my tiny house building series entitled the.semitrailer.project were an amalgamation of clips that I shot while simultaneously putting together the house (a journey, I might add, that was the first of its kind for me, so definitely busy learning on the job!). These videos gradually increased in production quality as I saw that the material resonated with viewers, plus my background in video production enticed me to be more creative. That, and I’m a goof with a weird sense of humour, something I hope gives folks a chuckle while they watch. 😛 These videos all just resided on my video production YouTube channel the Cunning Crow (my production company is Cunning Crow Productions).

With the desire to expand this video series and giving them a standalone place to live, we wanted to use the opportunity to showcase all things related to tiny houses in our locality (South Australia, to start) with particular focus on: other semi-trailer conversations, things we learned on our journey, the lifestyle perks and challenges to tiny house living, helpful tips to people starting on this journey and minimalism conversations through interviews and personal perspectives. Being well-connected to our Adelaide tiny house community, we want to talk about what is going on here, particularly with the housing crisis, changes to council legislation to do with THOWs (tiny houses on wheels) and just the exciting things going on in this area which aren’t often focused on in other tiny house pages or channels.

Heidi has been keen to dive deeper into this way of life as she has a lot to say with regards to ethical, sustainable and minimal living. We hope to see her periodically on the channel or when she has the chance to blog her thoughts here. Given my daily involvement with the build and being relaxed on camera meant that it has been me on video more often than not. It will great to get Heidi’s voice into the mix as she has been an equal part to this journey to date!

The new channel is live and we’d love for you to follow or subscribe to our journey. The hope is to truly provide a useful resource to our audience for a variety of reasons, whether you are just tiny house curious, thinking about or starting your own journey, wanting to do your part to help progress the tiny house movement or just looking for something authentic and different to watch. Whatever it is, welcome on board via this site or through our video channel ☺️🏠💚
