thank you for being invited for a walk, even though I only watched the video but it was as if I immediately felt the existence of that place, always excited to create content that can increase the knowledge of others. God bless you.
Interesting couple you met in Holberg. There's a lot of eccentric characters on Vancouver Island and some of the Gulf Islands like Salt Spring Island. A lot of aging and not so aged hippies there with some very eclectic shops/restaurants, etc. You should try to get over to Salt Spring, I think you'd enjoy yourselves.
Hello Friends . . what another beautiful adventure . . glad you didn't encounter a Bigfoot (Sasquatch) in your drive certainly squatchy area for them . . have a great day ❤️ 🙋♀️🥰
My dad owned that store - The Holberg Store since 1980s and sold it to this new guy 2 years ago or so. Haven’t been back there to meet him yet! Thanks! I myself lived in Holberg as a kid (when the San Josef base was there) and then again as a late teen 18/19 and worked at the Scarlet Ibis. What a world! Now I’m in Winnipeg teaching holistic dance (Nia) and other healing work and thinking of going south for the winter…. And someone sends me this video! Thanks for the flashback.
Hi Tamarah !! Wow - this is wonderful - What a fabulous place, so glad we could bring you some smiles ... Best wishes with the work you do - Marianne 🌷
@@TREADtheglobe thanks! Yeah! It is amazing what the guy has done with the store! Loved the “zoo” and he really made it look more presentable outside. :)
Curt and Snow are a different couple from Marriane and Chris. They look somewhat similar but are poles apart in all other ways. We wish and pray for Snow's full and quick recovery. Also for God to give both Snow and Curt the strength to face and overcome the problems facing them.
So glad you got to Telegraph Cove, but you should have walked down the boardwalk & seen all the houses built over the harbor & the Whale Museum at the end!
I have followed the pair of you from the beginnings of Turkey. i think the way way you present your videos gets better all the time. as a photographer i would love to get some of those landscape shots with the mist. by the way did you wash the VW. look after yourselves🤠
I saw some comments, so a few notes on logging. Before a company is allowed to cut an area, a full survey is carried out, amongst other things, it ensures that particular flora and fauna are preserved, it also takes into account streams and rivers, which must be left intact - this is strict, especially as many of the rivers are salmon bearing. Before they can cut, companies must gather seed from the trees there - this is a huge operation and is often done by helicopters that carry special cone devices for taking cones from the tops of the trees. All the seed is catalogued for aspect and elevation, so if a tree was growing on an east facing slope at 1500ft, its seeds will be returned to that environment. Those seeds are then sold or contracted out to hundreds - if not thousands - of growers. Using temperature, lighting and watering regimes, these seed are then grown as plugs. To be accepted back, they must have a certain height and caliper, only trees that meet these standards are accepted. There is a whole industry of tree planting - many Canadians have done tree planting for a summer or two. If you work hard the money is pretty good, you also live on site, with food provided and often mixes from anywhere. These means no opportunity to spend your income, its s job loved by many students, putting aside money to go to college or university. Ten trees must be planted for each one cut. In subsequent years, teams will come back to these areas and thin the tree where needed, this prevents over crowding and means the best trees can be left to grow. There is very little "old growth" forest in the Pacific Northwest. And there was very little, before the first loggers arrived. Purely by natural phenomena, forests burn fairy regularly - area of old growth are typically in valleys or distant areas where geography and winds may have kept fires away, Vancouver Island had a massive fire a few centuries ago that burned huge amounts of the island, leaving very few pockets of old growth. In terms of "climate" effect, younger trees and forests grow very vigorously, while old trees have done their growing and are just basically "ticking over". A 25 to 100 year old tree will be taking in more CO2 than an older one. Although remote logging is done, many of the roads that exist around BC are logging roads, where roads were already established, it is easier for logs to be brought out. The result of this is that being on a road means you see a disproportionate amount of cut blocks, fly over BC and you'll see that millions of acres are untouched. I don't work in the industry, but have lived here long enough to know that it is pretty well regulated and has its own interests in preserving the forests. At the same time, there are ecology groups that are very good at mythologizing the forests or areas of the forest and protesting their use. The industry is not without flaws, but at the top are he CEOs of the companies who know the penalties for not following standards, and at the bottom are the loggers, who live in these areas. They are pretty much all "outdoorsmen". They hunt, they fish, and are far more aware of - and sensitive to - ecological impacts and preservation of their trade. Forestry in the Pacific Northwest is not the slash and burn style you see in other regions of the world, they are not clearing and for crops, cattle or housing. They are in the business of producing highly prized lumber and do everything to preserve that industry. The hot dry summers and cold winters cause the trees to grow more slowly, producing tighter grain and lumber with more strength, it is loved in the building industry as it meets or exceeds all building codes, allowing buildings to be built better and stronger. Trees like yellow cedar are also shipped to Japan - having exhausted many of their forests, the yellow cedar has a tensile strength that matches the wood they would have used, it is therefore possible to keep building to the same codes and designs that they have in the past.
Great as always 👌 👍 I hope you realise 😀 you gotta continue your travels for a real long time to keep us all entertained. It's like being with u guys I get so engrossed. How are you managing all your daily duties in a lovely but smaller J.B xxxx
Hello Ambassadors Nice videos, nice friends, great food. Great JB.😂😂I ALWAYS WANTED A JB FOR ME FOR A CAMPER. They are rare, believe or not and for my budget they were pricier at the time and still is. 😂😂😂 Love from Florida. Sending loves from everyone 💕💕💕
Huge thanks to Auntie Julia for helping Chris & Marianne stay sane while waiting for Trudy's parts! Jay Bee got to stretch her legs as well, I suppose! 😁 ❤️❤️😎👍xx

I’m often reminded of Ireland here on Vancouver Island. Especially Wicklow, my favourite place in Ireland. The rocks, the moss, the waterfalls 💕

The operators of those road graders can tilt the wheels like that to help them keep a straight line while moving material on the road.

So cool to see the area you are in. Have always wanted to go there.

I was thinking of you when I watched Where the Crawdads sing last night. Beautiful film set in the Carolina marshes with hairy trees ❤
We have a T25 with an engine in the back the other half is doing it up, it has a rare high top. Hoping to get it running next year 😁
Amazing, awesome and spectacular ❤
