Greetings from us in Ireland. It's really good to hear and see from you again, Ryan and Melodi. We started being a bit worried about your absence. But we understand the why of it. We can see you have a lot to learn, and so would we. We look forward to hearing/seeing more of what you have been up to. 'Til then.
Hey there!! We have a lot to share with you over the coming weeks! Thank you so much for your support - I don't think we imagined how much time this would all take... It's so much more work (and way more fun) than either of us thought 😊 possible.
Living the life on Bird Island. You are two very lucky people. It is so great how each day brings forth new experiences, different wildlife, new challenges. It is really amazing to see how things are turning out well, but alas, a very long time to go. All your fans will be following your journey with interest. Take care. From Newcastle, England, UK
Hello new friend from Newcastle, England, UK 🇬🇧 ♥ We welcome you to our channel! We have come a bit of a ways and yes, much to go... But it's all in the journey for us. We've learned so much and each day brings a new lesson. Thank you for your support 💚 we love that you are watching and sharing this all with us!
Thank you so much!! We have hundreds of hours of editing to do and soon you will see lots and lots of the island!! It is spectacular! Until then, we are on a journey to pick up materials. We will be posting allot of new content soon!
You are in for the adventure of a LIFETIME, but it will be the most rewarding time of your life, finding skills, and strengths you Never knew you had, and the ability to accomplish things you never knew you could
I am loving your journey. Enjoy your journey. I believe that there are no mistakes. They are teaching moments and we learn as we go. Thank you for sharing. I am so glad that you have excellent mics. I can hear you clearly. Blessings on your journey.
Maybe online, you can invite, a wilderness experience, work party, work exchange, people can come camp out with you, on your island go fishing help chop down some of the brush, or help make trails, with mulch, from your mulcher. I useed to camp up on some wild land in Upper Pennisula Michigan,
That sounds like it would work great in terms of many hands making light work and all that... but we are committed to doing this all on our own -- pioneer style! Thanks again for the comments! -Ryan
😁Thank you so much!! We were really excited to see something on that island... everything is a new day for us - - a new adventure. It's so great to have you with us!
You don't need a string, for fire, just get pine needles, or pine gum, or grass straw, or use a plastic bag with water, and the sun, use it like a magnifying glass to burn the grass, to start a fire, or make an old fashion drill, or get 2 pieces of wood flat together, use the friction back n forth rubbing them together, with a little rolled up piece of cotton between the 2 flat pieces of wood, just rub them back n forth fast, until it starts smoking
Hey there This is great fire side chat for you with A BEAVER !!! WOW that is something!!! Beaver's are great to eat !!! Told some other channels about you !!! It will help you grow then !!!
Oh my Linda... It was so funny! I was pretty surprised to see him pop up looking at me 😳 so cute though! Thank you for sharing our story with your friends - we are grateful...
Oh thank you so much!! Canada has a few islands on lakes in the east but not many in the west... Any islands would typically be on the ocean so we feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity to have fresh water all around us (amazing views too). Thank so much for watching! 💜
Just started watching, you guys are really starting to worry me ;-) That first eyelet on the rod right above the reel is not used guide your line, its used to hook your lure to, the first eyelet is approximately 18 inches down the rod.
😆 🤣 We can't blame you for being worried. We finally figured that out, based on the comments of a subscriber (such as yourself). Yes, we had much to learn and we do get better with each experience... Don't be worried 😆 We welcome you to join our journey as we progress and build this island out with our own hands. Much more to come too 💚
Do Not filla or remove skin from a trout to cook .Cook with skin on to avoid scorching trying out and meat falling apart.After cooking the meat will slide out of the skin easily. I like to it the skin with it. They don't have ugly scales. All other fish that you catch there , you need to filla ,remove skin. The bones will pull right out of a trout after cooking as the only have fine bones that are all attached to the back bone. I don't fool with any other fish than trout. Although I have eaten other fish but to much prep.😅
Los textos que ponen en color blanco con fondo verde puedo lleer muy dificil por el poco contraste. Texto blanco con fondo negro seria mejor. Excelente canal!
She was in the cozy cabin - it really was quite cold and after the previous day, I decided to leave her for a couple of hours while we checked some more things out. Thank you for asking! 💚
She stayed back in the fishing lodge we were renting for the day. It was a bit chilly for her to begin with... she's acclimated now though so she does much better in the Canadian weather. She is a rescue from Mexico (4 1/2 years old).
The line does not go through the tiny hole nearest the reel… that is for attaching the hook when you are through fishing… please take it out of that hole… you are hurting my brain! 🤪😂🤣
@@mywildholm … yeah! Your series just came across my TH-cam feed this morning! I just finished S1 E4 … starting S1 E5… Nice content… the serenity of the island is awe inspiring! Looking forward to watching them all! Are you still creating content about this adventure?
We really appreciate you watching! Oh yes!! We create content every single day and will be, for years to come... 😆 Because we have to film constantly, we don't get to post for a few months, so there's a delay but we still have lots coming in Season 2 (we are now filming Season 3). It's a privilege to share it with you all 💚 We also keep connected with our subscribers every Thursday by having our regular Livestreams for 1 hour at 7pm CST. Come check us out!
@@mywildholm Do you know what breed Opal is? We have a male dog, Jack, who is nearly identical to her. We got him from the humane society so nobody is really sure what he is but we think he is likely American Staffordshire…any thoughts? BTW: Jack is the best dog ever! Looks like Opal is as well!
@erikeaston2783 awww... Opal is a rescue from Mexico. We got her a few years ago and she is a very anxious, nervous dog who is unpredictable and has bad mood swings with Ryan. From the moment they handed her to us, she was my friend but not so much Ryan's... it's sad because he adores her and there are days it appears as though she likes him and then... she has a bad day! Eeekk... Over the past year on the island she seems to be thriving. She is afraid of everything, bags, suitcases, you name it... even the floor she walks on. She would pace and pace for hours so we had to put her on a leash so she could settle and sleep... she's doing better and I love her. She is so so fiercely protective of me. Just a darling little doggy really.

Your channel is amazing. I had no idea Canada had private islands. ❤
Oh thank you so much!! Canada has a few islands on lakes in the east but not many in the west... Any islands would typically be on the ocean so we feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity to have fresh water all around us (amazing views too). Thank so much for watching! 💜
❤are you on the east or west or north in Canada 🇨🇦???❤@@mywildholm
We are in the North of Western Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you for watching!
Ontario has quite a few islands on its various lakes
Yes, that is true... we are on the other side right across Canada in British Columbia 💚
I am loving this journey!!!

Great advice! Ryan just sent me a screenshot of your comment and it really is helpful. Thank you for watching! More to come.
You didn’t have oars in the boat in case the motors didn’t work?
We had a kayak paddle in the boat, and have since added oars amd an electric trolling motor. Safety first! Thanks so much for watching. -Ryan

I totally agree with that! We've since changed to white on black... thank you for your patience with us 💚 and Thank you for watching!
Where is your loving 🐕🐶 gone.I love Animals.
She was back at the fishing lodge because I thought it was a bit too chilly for her outside. She's a good doggy 🐕
Build a bird nest to pull a flame in and blowon it.
Yes, that is the way to do it alright. Coming from the city, we have learned much and are having the time of our lives! Thanks for watching... -Ryan.
Where is Opal?
She was in the cozy cabin - it really was quite cold and after the previous day, I decided to leave her for a couple of hours while we checked some more things out. Thank you for asking! 💚

Close one eye you’ll get that rod togrther faster lol
Funny!! 😂
Where is your dog?
She stayed back in the fishing lodge we were renting for the day. It was a bit chilly for her to begin with... she's acclimated now though so she does much better in the Canadian weather. She is a rescue from Mexico (4 1/2 years old).

What is the name of your island?
It is called Bird Island after the family that originally owned it and lived here. So nice of you to drop by for a visit! -Ryan.
