In this episode we arrive at the cabin after 2 years away and begin a one year journey off grid at the island. We make all of the necessary upgrades to the property to allow us to live there through a cold Canadian winter. We install a solar power system and build an insulated shed to house it. we will be unable to leave the island for 4 to 5 weeks during the freeze up period, so we need to have adequate firewood, propane and food on hand to get us safely through. Join us on an EPIC family Adventure.

Get the Popcorn and a drink! This is going to be EPIC👍👍
Don't be mean! You know they don't have popcorn and drinks up there. How about "grab yourself a glass of lake water and a bag full of leaves!"
@@iliketowatch. lol 😂
So interesting to see what an unlimited budget off grid life is like. Thanks for sharing the entire year in one video!
It was a treat! I'd love to see a super extended version though... I love those too🙂
You are correct. Lot of money and sponsors for this off grid life. It was beautiful but with all those modern technologies it's more like a 1 year camping in the wilderness. I was expecting to see if and how they were able to survive in the middle of nature, away of the modern life support with only what the nature is giving to you.... It was more like going to the grandpa's on vacation into the woods with your trunk filled of goodies, modern big boys toys and many other fancy things. Normal people not even heard about that.
All the originals of the entire cabin series are available on our channel. Check out the Cabin series playlist. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day.
@EFRT Your family is great! 👍🏼
Loving this movie! It's AMAZING what all you accomplished together!!! ❤️
New subscriber. 🙂🤗🙂
Also? Thank you for praying and holding faith in Jesus Christ!
The mum and dad (and the whole family) just seem like kind and pleasant people. I am so glad I came across your channel!
I thought the same thing good to see another Aussie thought the same only thing I had a laugh about was buying wood and loading it on a boat to take back to your home in a forest 🤣 but may not be like australia
Thank you so much. We are so glad you found our channel. Have a wonderful day.
Cool!!! Greetings from Manila, Philippines!
So glad that I clicked on this random recommendation. Love to see your kids learning real life skills that will serve them for a lifetime. Sitting in a classroom for 12+ years of our lives doesn't give us a lot of the skills that we need to take care of ourselves and families.
Welcome aboard! We are so glad you found our channel. Have a wonderful day.
@@EFRTCan't wait to watch more of your adventures together!💙👍🏼
I hope many people view this masterpiece. This is what I needed to see to remind me that I can do much more than I think I am capable of. I wish more individuals and families would take a chance and experience what your family has done. It’s inspiring. Thank you.
Yeah... having the money certainly makes any dream possible!
I'm not sure how comments like these are relevant. When you have an unlimited budget and frequently go into town for burgers and supplies. This is not living off grid. This is living in your vacation home for a year and staying entertained with everything money can buy to enjoy the outdoors.
Those were my toughts exactly when I watched it despite the enjoyment I had of seeing footage of my beloved Canada!@@cliffhanger20
This is the dream isn't it guys? May we all here in the comments be blessed enough to one day have the family and resources to build and live our dream.
Carol is so very beautiful when she gets the giggles and belly laughs! A joy to behold!
Thank you 😊
I would have liked to see mom & daughter making a grocery list and dad talking with boys about supplies needed for each possible scenario. Just the general conversations. And then the family going to town to get everything. Still a masterpiece though.
From WI, I'm in awe...absolutely beautiful, those drone shots, the daughter's voice during narratives, the togetherness...I'm glad CZcams brought me to y'all...will continue to be watching
The lads spirit filled vocals was a marvelous contribution to this lifelong memorable adventure.❤
Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed the video. Many more adventures ahead. Hope you have a wonderful day.
From Wisconsin also!!
Where are you in ontario
I'm from MN!
I throughly enjoyed this, but I must say that I am so envious of your family’s closeness.
Mom and Dad you must have started young like I did, you don’t look a day over 40. I’ve never had that kind of love and it’s kinda depressing. Kudos to raising those kids right!
Thank you so much!
"Off the grid"? Why was I thinking primative? You have more money and more gadgets than I will ever have. Rather then say, off the grid, say staying at our cabin in the woods with no neighbors, for the winter with all the comforts of home.
I'm not saying I'm irritated, just saying this wasn't what I thought it was going to be.
@@pinkythechihuahua3156just what I thought. Imagine doing this 60 years ago with no snow machine (walking) and manually augering ice holes.
Out there together is your family's church!!
If money is no object, this is the best way to “rough it”. Kind of more a way to live in an extreme area when taking advantage of resources available with as little effort as possible.
It's amazing how happy the dog looks! He looks so free & enjoying being under that red leafy 🌴 tree, to cute🥰
Please never sell out to big media!!!!!!!!! Your videos are amazing!!💕Amazing summary of a year! Must of taken uncountable hours of efrt/effort!🇺🇸 Thank you to all!!!
😀 Thank you so much!!
One word for this family's living 'off grid'...RICH$$$$
Yep,
Starlink satellite internet
Building materials delivered
Contractors carrying out work
Pre cut firewood delivered by the truckload
Organic/free range food bought by the pallet load, vacuum sealed and frozen
New $200+ jackets & boots all around
Filet mignon for lunch
1,000lbs of propane
$3k of inverters
$11k of batteries
And the narrator said they are going to live a winter off grid without the commodities of of life in the main land 😮. Dang ! I wander how is their normal life
I was waiting for helipad to be put in
Off grid means not connected to electric power lines. They are off grid.
@chrisjames3204 yes!
Dear Family, thank you for this candid look into your lives. There were volumes of meaning throughout this production that connected with me. You've all touched many lives. I look forward to following you for a long time.
-Jason
You have to start and end each video session with Mom laughing. It’s an infectious laugh and most definitely had me grinning ear to ear. 🥰
Hey Family - I got the real tingles and even a bit emotional watching this condensed version of your experiences in a stunning and superbly produced docco! Capturing such magic memories, learning so much about yourselves and as a family what you’re able to do and achieve a life many people dream of. I know we’re not privy to everything that happens in a family we all have moments. You guys sure help so many to see what’s possible! This was absolutely amazing - thank you for your incredible efforts putting this together it’s no mean feat. Well done 🙏🥰
Thank you so much. We’re so glad that you enjoyed this version of our adventure at the lake. ❤️
Experiencing the out the doors the way your family has, is priceless,working together are what families do,
Oh no there was a price to it. A pretty big one from the looks of it.
Thats a million dollars worth of kit right there!
Cuddled with my kids and watched this afternoon. Living off grid is our dream. Loved watching your family build and grow throughout the year. Bless yall
That is so awesome! Glad you all enjoyed the adventure.
These people knows how to keep the family together.
What a treat to have a movie length visit with our favorite Sunday Family! ♥ We are now debating if you make American styled bacon in Canada, does that make it Canadian Bacon? Yes it does! Beautiful!
Haha. We’ll have to call it CanAm 🥓
@@EFRT”CanHam” 😊
Looks a lot like my childhood in Finland, on an island 12 km from the mainland. My father is a boatbuilder, and my mother is a fisherman's and smuggler's daughter. I went to school with a wooden boat, an icebreaker, a snowmobile or a hydrocopter.
Wow.....
Just finished this awesome video. It's amazing when you watch and feel connected... and not only are you there too but like you belong. Amazing job to all.
Thank you for bringing us along! ❤
Thanks for watching. We are so glad you enjoyed it.
What a beautiful family experience. The ice covered lake, the outdoor campfires, the sauna and ice cold dip, making maple syrup. As a Wisconsinite, I'm familiar with all of these wonderful experiences. A host of beautiful memories for your family.
How do you do it. Cha Ching!
Wow! Just amazing. The videography, story telling, and music combined with your family adventure was truly epic! Thank you for chronicling this story and for bringing the world along for it. Well done.
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the video.
I was curious... but then became 100% invested when mom got the giggles. God bless your beautiful family!!! ❤❤❤
A great trip down memory lane, much needed, especially the winter scenes! I'd pay $$ for that right now 🤠
Oh yes! Some of that snow and cold air would be nice right about now. Hope you have a wonderful day.
@@EFRT I’m from South Louisiana. It’s 11:00pm with a temp of 90. Yep a cocktail in the hot tub would be awesome.
Love your place on the lake and the hard work y’all done to get ready for the winter.
What a beautiful family you all are. This world needs more people, families like yours. What a masterpiece you’ve made, I couldn’t stop watching this video.. Thank you for sharing your story with us 😊
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
This is beautiful. From the camera work to the narration and your family. I couldn’t have dreamed anything this perfect ❤
So jealous of the life you have created with your family. Wish I was strong enough to have done this with my little family... God bless all of you!!!
me too, or rich enough.
god that woman can cook something beautiful! you guys should have a cookbook for sure!!!! My first time watching your content and I absolutely want this for my family! thank you so sincerely and humbly than you for allowing me into your home
Thank you so much
It’s amazing that the whole family are working together so well!
Excellent! Couldn’t stop watching till the end. Calming, beautiful, and a great picture of a United family!
If you use gasoline, NG or propane, you are not "off grid", you are just using someone else's grid mainly to fill those. It's a fallacy, it's like sneaking over to your neighbor's house after they go to bed and hook in your extension cord.
I saw a video of a family in Canada that live in a tent in the woods. Now those folks were truly off the grid. Wood stove, kerosene lighting. Those ppl were really roughing it off of the grid.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure on the island. Give that dog a Carabo. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you and and thanks for watching!
A great amount of technology
What a great family you guys have; the kids are helpful and the parents spend much quality time with the children. God bless.

Incredible life. Thank you for the wonderful video and for taking us along on your journey.
Your kids are great, they are all in for this adventure, I love it😊
How fortunate you are to have this. It makes me nostalgic for our cabin in the woods, which my GSP also loved. I can smell the fresh air just watching this!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I loved every second of this beautifully shot and narrated video.
What an absolute treat 😊
I stumbled across this by accident but I will be sure to like and subscribe for more amazing content.
Thank you ❤
Hi, I am Kenneth from Sri Lanka - frankly I enjoyed watching you Guys coping with the winter in Canada - was a pleasant experience for me.... Thank you.
This was a wonderful adventure to watch, thanks for sharing. I will look forward to your next one 😊
Loved the kitchen pumpkins' soup and bacon preparations! Mom is a good cook!... And how can any Canuck miss the Timmy's coffee can? Great aerial shots too of the winter covered landscape!
A fine example of how independant people can become if they have unlimited funds.
they said they bought the place twenty years ago..
@@Ace-ke7fq its not just the place its the supplies they buy haha. Those batteries are 2500 dollars each for example and they have six. Great family great video, but they are loaded and good for them.
Even if they do have money I'm sure it was well earned. I'm sure they have a few sponsors also..
This was such an enjoyable video! The photography was spectacular! I grew up on Lake Huron and this was such a going home experience for me. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. This is a gem ❤
AWESOME!!!! What a great story put so well together . Loved it Saving it..
Absolutely wonderful time watching this work of art!
I absolutely loved this video ❤️ Your family is amazing, God bless you all 😊✝️🙏
im from montreal and grew up going to a cabin in northern quebec. your video gave me such incredible memories!!! you have a new subscriber! also your family is a amazing. very throwback. the way it should be.
I'm new to the channel and this truly was epic and how close you all got as family can't wait to see more ...❤

Genuine heroes. Thank you. Glad you are safe.
Oh, wow! This just came up in my feed! Those kids have sure grown! Looking forward to this Epic (tm) adventure!
Beautiful, just beautiful! For the love of family & learning, is the greatest gift. I learned how to convert a van into a campervan. And boy lol, did I learn a lot. I’m looking forward to more videos from you!
That is awesome!
What a very lovely video and family experience! I'm so enchanted and in awe! 😊🎉
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a wonderful day!
Epic visualization of Canada 🇨🇦 Your family are making Canadians proud by sharing your off-grid lifestyle in your remote location and all your hard work going into your daily existence living in such beautiful/ breathtaking surroundings!!! Thanks for sharing...*** I just started watching your CZcams Channel and I look forward to going through your list for more wonderful videos 😊
Thank you so much!
Y'all are truly blessed, thanks for sharing this with me. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
What well trained children, dog and husband. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🥰
Great video 👍 I been living like this off and on since I was 9. No road access, boat or snowmobile in. Being able to make it through a winter on the lake officially makes you a laker and your no longer a weekender. 🚛🇨🇦✌️
Completely awesome. Thank you for sharing this . I am inspired and over whelmed. Your planning and execution were impeccable.
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your family with us.. What an incredibly beautiful adventure! Thx for taking us along. Susan.
I so enjoyed this compilation of your last year… how different our perspectives are because of drones ( and all other technology). Thank you.
Beautiful narration, we thank you for sharing your fantastic adventure with us. Lots of hugs to all of you!
Hugs back. Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this family’s adventures.
Wow your family has so many memories from that experience and I’m sure more memories to make love the video it was great
Wow, this was absolutely beautiful, beginning to end. I so enjoyed experiencing the different months with your amazing family, wonderful camera work and editing, too. Thank you for this.
Absolutely amazing! What a beautiful family! Your living my dream in the cabin! So cosy. You’ve worked so hard. Huge love to you all from the uk xx
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful day.
What an adventure!! Thank you for sharing. I couldn’t get over how well you were eating!! What an experience for your family and dog.
WOW!!! What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful scenery, love watching it.
The irony is 90% of people in Canada could not even afford the land that this off grid house is on let alone the building lol...
Exactly
And the funds to buy all the high end clothing and pack the freezer w/ organic fruit and grass fed, meat etc. These folks have some big bucks!
This is so special and I love it!
Thank you so much epic family for sharing your adventures through the years. May God continue to bless and keep you all safe.🙏🏻☝❤
Thank you so much!
This video is so well done. Love how the family works together.
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Sooo enjoyed this adventure...thank u for all these experiences u shared!❤
Such excellent videoing and edited thank you for the journey as well as very informative..Great family 👍😎
I'm feel so lucky to have happened upon your channel this morning. The storytelling and narration was impeccable. I almost felt like I was watching, Little Women with your storytelling.
