How a Family Has Lived Off-Grid In The Wilderness For 32 Years

- This might be the most informative video on off-grid homesteader wilderness living that you have seen -- from the people who have lived about half their lives in the wilderness. See what they've built, how they live. You won't believe what the flooring is! What do they do for water? What about a bathroom? Food? Laundry? Bathing? How much do they spend? How do they make money? Is bartering common? What you might think of as the simplest things could be something that has to be well thought out and planned. This is survival in the Canadian bush.

When I lived off the grid in the NWT in the 1960's I washed clothes in one of those large, metal milk containers, shaved off pieces of sunlight bar soap and churned the clothes with a toilet plunger. Worked like a damn. Also scrounged an old Eaton's Acme wood stove for cooking and purchased a Grandfather Fisher stove for heat. Now 90 years old, retired in rural Saskatchewan and really envying you folks. Best wishes to you all. Makes me proud to be Canadian.
Thanks Bill, I'm proud to be Canadian too, we are so blessed, we have it all right here in our own backyard, we simply need to step outside and enjoy it. Travelling abroad makes us Canadians realize how fortunate we really are.
god bless you folks ,living a peaceful healthy life ,avoid all the stress of the crappy society we have today 😊😊😊

I've been living OFF-THE-GRID 4 years now, i'm boat, float plane and sled access only in northern BC CAN'TADA. Much respect 🤝🍁💪
I followed with little pain in my hart...such great life in the life....
I live in Holland am very Lucky to have a pièce of land at the edge of an industry park and no more chance of building...i live in my gipsy wagon, half of grid...and envy you....an 75 now and pleased with good health...
Take good care of my land fit vers and butterflies and hedgehoaks..
Would like to do more so i host slow travellers with tent.
Love to meet people but am a hermit...
Tkx for sharing your life. Stay safe God vlees.
Love jane
Very good documentary one of the best I've seen.I live similar to this myself and picked a few god ideas while watching for me and here is no bette way to live but a lot of people would never live like this and call us poor and dirty.The truth is we are the healthiest and richest people by far.I dreamed of living like this from a young age but the cities and small towns had me chasing the the Dollar and paying continuously in the vicious circle many get trapped in.I saved and sold everything 4years ago and made this my life and I will never turn back.I truly am blessed and deeply in love with nature and mother earth and she can really provide for me with a little elbow grease.
Thank you and thanks for sharing your story!
How you write you should be american or canadian...
You are lucky to grow in a country where this is possible.
Where i live, it is not.
No such thing as mother earth. God made it all. Gove him the praise He deserves. Nothing else.❤
Except bathing once a week is not acceptable for a female. Washing daily is a must exspecially during that time of the month. I know being a man at the end of a summer day I gotta take a shower cuase I can smell myself, so I he to imagine the smell of a vigina 3 days on her period along with sweating from the heat
@@fa7842 British Columbia is a province in western Canada. They couldn't be Americans. They look too content.
Every person should experience harvesting your sustenance. I really felt that pain of being truly thankful. ❤
After 10 or so years of CZcams watching , this video is very likely at the top of the list of the videos I've watched! You guys sipping the water from your hands would have been allowed in Gideon's army. 😎
Glad you liked it Anthony.
Was impressed with the doc and these men….thank you, i yearn for this lifestyle, dial humanity back a few notches is what we may truly all need.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
He has a lot of love for those bunnies. JESUS Bless you.
Yup, I love my bunnies. Jesus taught us how to love, we simply need follow his example.

One of the best documentaries - no bulls...t for city dwellers. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
What a amazing video! Such a wonderful way of life. These people have a awesome relationship with there surroundings!
Incredibly informative and interesting! I never would have thought to have a floor like that. Great video!
Thank you!
One of the best videos.
❤Fantastic and very inspiring video. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much!
This was great! Thank you. OH CANADA! What a beautiful Country eh
Yes it is!
Their leftist government sucks.
Eh!
Thank you for sharing this documentary I love it and I also live off grid for like 8 years and I'm continually learning may God bless you and your family long health and peace
Absolutely love the pebble floor, never have seen this....seems quite obvious 👍👍👍
A lot of information with style 😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I've been dreaming of this way of living for the past 15 years, unfortunately my family don't think I can do it as I'm turning 70 this year and on my own now.
Your values, principles and full of heart thank you for sharing. Makes me want to paint with oils and write with vigour such a way of life is nourishing. Thank you for posting...awesome soapstone elephant seals your son and pal make. Your rabbit tips and soil is wonderful as so much love too..in Highlands on west coasts the sea is bountiful and seaweed is raked into soils , but the bacterium enzymes must be more . Wish you all continued happyness and wonder. Ben
The ground pebble is interesting, but what I would do is probably install some kind of pipe system under the pebble and have hot water going though that pipe. The rock will capture that heat and irradiate it. I'm just not fully sure how to do it easily without an electric pump. One huge advantage of this, is 4 inch of warm rock pebble still irradiate that energy after the fire is gone, and since heat rise, no insulation is really needed (I just wouldn't go too far to the border of the house, then this might cause issues maybe. You could also have the sun hit the rock floor, which the rock will store that heat (And you will want to do the reverse in the summer, protect so the sun don't enter the cabin).
Yeah that rock floor looks good for heating/cooling but I'm worried about ants getting in and losing small items in it.
Ants ans mice.
U just made it very complicated...its meant to be simple..u don't get it😊
If you eat bear from the north woods, it might be alright… but if you’re near a city, you’ll wanna check its stomach contents and make sure it hasn’t been eating garbage and carrion… if it’s filled with cereal, frosting, and bacon, then it’s been eating bait… if it’s it’s filled with corn and Berries, that’s the one you want
This was very enlightening. Thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting!
He’s right about grounding
Beautiful life.gorgeous nature.
very educational, love the sauna, greetings from finland
I've heard you have wonderful saunas in Finland. Greetings to everyone there!
Id Give My Life To Have The Opportunity To Live Like This Today. I Wish I Was There With These Two Guys. It Would Be Life Altering
The under ground stream definitely is better for you, it has many minerals.
Amazing video .Thanks for sharing your life with us .Hi from B.C. Canada
Thanks!
Very intelligent man, I admire people like him.
Excellent watch. God bless you all.
Excellent vlog, with lots of common sense information and tips to live with nature. Yes, it is hard work, but it is one's own choice in the way that this is achieved. There is no 9-5 boss looking over one's shoulder--it gives a true sense of freedom and at the same time requires a tremendous amount of self discipline. The fruits of this labor are many.
Super video on life in the wild. Very tough habitation. Takes amazing people to be able to survive, Antics of that wild rabbit were hysterical.
This is really great share, Rockhopper and Friends (David, Steve, Alyssa, Elie). I hope I got all your names correctly here. Your lifestyle is inspiring to me and I learned a great deal watching this - you shared your home, yourselves, but MOSTLY you all shared your wisdom and knowledge of living off Our Mother Earth.
The sip of water after he told it helped people with alcohol problems.
The proper or easiest way to chop or split firewood. Do not put on top of another piece as was done in this video. Put the piece you want to split, put it on the ground. When you stack it like in this video and Hollywood movies, you have to raise splitting maul higher, and you do not get to swing far, which means you do not get the advantage of gravity. Gravity of the maul as you swing. Anyone testing my advice will never go back to the Hollywood method. I split hardwood oaks in Alabama that are much harder than spruce and pine as seen here and on TV.
This comment is meant to be educational, not critical. As I will agree at least 70% of people split wood incorrectly mostly due to what we see on tv.
I hope this helps anyone that splits wood by hand. Stop stacking your wood to split, put it on the ground
Thanks Dave for sharing that advice with our viewers!
Does it help to make sure you have a sharp axe?
@@Elaine-br4lw great question Elaine. I never use an ax, I only use a splitting maul. I’ve never sharpened mine, one swing does the trick usually. It cannot hurt to keep it sharp. Most stores you’ll see a red handle splitter with huge triangle head, those are too heavy and worthless. Most common and easiest to use is yellow handle made of a composite material.
@@davesrvchannel4717 thank you answering my question, the thing he was swinging looked dull.
My soil is too soft, if I put a log on the ground directly it just won't split because the soil absorbs the force and not the log. So I use a big chopping block underneath with a tyre screwed on it. This way I can put, depending on the size, several blocks of wood in the tyre and when I split them they don't fall to the ground but stay in the tyre. I love the high chop block, don't mind if it's a Hollywood thing since it works way easier than putting logs on the ground and having to bend over all the time.
Wov I love this, everything so natural and nice people. Greetings from someone who is from the Faroe Islands but lives in Norway. All the best 🙂
So nice to hear from a Faroe Islander! Thanks so much!
This channel was amazing to watch, i learned so much. Call me emotional, but i actually cried at the bunny part. I want to say thank you so much for sharing your way of life.
I have been watching many outdoor survival & homesteading videos over the years.
Now this one is about as real as it gets. Very good down to earth truth about this kind
of living. No romanticizing. Life as it really is... if you choose to live and be self-sufficient.
Awesome video.
Thank you!
now all u need is worms to break down ur waste an turn into compost,, u guys are living the life, how cool.
Loved this video. There was a lot of food for thought. They have a good life. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just excellent! I’m off grid myself, and a carnivore, the bear sounds good, lack of fat is the problem with game meat. I also have a Blaze King the same model, I heat water and cook on it sometimes, excellent stove.
Awsome that you give thanks I love your peaceful demeanor we would be friends for sure
Really enjoyed.
Its looking great!!! Dont forget insulation. Because vans are tin cans. When its 80 ouside Its like 90 inside the van. You may want to think about the floor. Floors get cold. Congratulations!!!!!
At 75 you are living my dream. God Bless.
Steve is a good man, living a very good life, with excellent principles. It attracts me greatly, but I was born with gifts that I need to use, and can't use them in the bush. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello never knew that life in the bush was very hard and interesting these people are so happy there thank you for your excellent video
Thanks for watching!
This is the real deal! Awesome!
Amazing video!!!!!!!! I truly appreciate what you've done. Much love. Semper Fidelis
Absolutely great video, thanks so much.
Thank you!
Facinating, we use some of these principles for our summer home.
Fantastic truly inspirational
You have to get to 3 feed down to get -4 degrees of warm earth in the winter
Great reality information!
One of the best video lots Good info its informative
Great Video Dave, I loved it and the reality of your way of life Thanks Denise C.
Super intelligent man
Awesome way to live the way we made to live.
Thank you learned very much. Rick floor love it. I am off grid living on Oklahoma mountain. Love this off grid life.
Amazing work it was just laying around in the river for you
I had a whole soliloquy to say about the other video, but got stuck on this one. Cheers to you and your family and your friends 🤘🎩
Cheers!
I'm a Naga from Nagaland, India and we eat nearly everything, including imsects. One difference between carnivore/omnivore and herbivore meat is generally, carnivore/omnivore meat is softer and herbivore meat is harder.
I've eaten elephant, bear, dog, cat, boar, leopard, monkey, stag, deer etc. But the best meat I've tasted is the barking deer.
you can also use the Ash to make a Cement like slurry ..add clay and straw..or horsehairs....not necessarily structural but great to stucco , fill in around logs..
Tent Material you have found tough,durable.Great Videos.
Hope you do more of these. I admit at first I was like, I dunno...after a bit I respected what they were doing...and by the end I was very happy for them all. Eli seems like a pure boy...no corruption of society. Makes me smile.
Thanks for sharing your lives and thanks for sharing the vid.
Thanks for your comments!
Awesome
Best wishes from London❤
Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for letting me know you enjoy my channel and the people featured in the video!
Great video and filming!
Thank you!!
Great video ! I want the warm running steam in my front yard :) You never know who you might bump into in the Canadian wilderness just living the dream, Mother earth will give you what you need , Good bear meat is awesome like he said it will keep you warm & your mussel strong :) I don't live that far in the bush but love my off grid life !
Thanks! I'm glad you're loving life!
just arrived,from Curitiba,I lived before in Toronto for 9 years,untill 1997
Man I needed this. Speaks to me
I'm glad it speaks to you. Go find your place in the wilderness. It exists, you just need to find it brother.
@@StephenBadhwar 🙏🏼
great vid! wish i could get rid of everything and live this life
Right arm. ❤❤❤
Just shows what you can do with determination... And no building codes...LOL.
Gotta say, it is a LOT of work, been living in my own off-grid project construction site for 23 years now, and still not "done" (not even sure what that word means). There is no 'done' or 'complete' to building a self reliant way of life, there is only upkeep improvements and doing the next step. Season by season, year after year, until I can't do no more I guess.
The snowshoe rabbit looks like a tiny kangaroo standing on it's hind legs like that.
the castle!
Fun show thanks for sharing with us. (Classic privvy as you stated, my styrofoam is thick as yours but pink!) ❤️👍🇨🇦

I Need To Stockpile That Water From The Native Sacred Spring. Definitely need some Natural Healing
Anyone else see the face in the trees behind the guy in the beret? 😂
Those wild rabbits, as you call them, with the long back legs, are called hares in Ireland. There's another wild species we used to eat commonly that we call rabbit. Rabbit is succulent and tasty, but hare is gamey and rubbery meat for eating. They're also less common here, even though they were rarely hunted. I think I heard that they force the rabbits out of the area they occupy and don't breed as much as 'regular' rabbits.
Note to Myself: "Don't eat to much rice and beans"
Need a minimum Husky 372xp for logs that size & length. A skip tooth chain will speed things up a little as well. good video
These guys are so practical. You can twll they werent always so. Going intonthe bush as VEGANS 😂
