In this weeks episode I show you a day in the life on an off grid island in the wilderness, preparing for the next month and resupplying, spending time with family and exploring the beautiful countryside.
Fun to see the boys act like kids sometimes, despite their adult lives, adventures, and responsibilities. They are truly fine young men.
Love the boys' interactions, scuffles, and all that wonderful snowmobiling etc. Dan I like all the film formats you have done so don't change anything except to grow. Best to all.
Thank you!
So nice to see a family getting together to enjoy each other and to have fun. Cherish those memories and create more. Great legacy to pass on to your own family one day.❤
I agree, family time is so important.
Really enjoyed this video so great when the family can all get together, such wonderful memories. Aren’t dogs so loyal they are always right there for you and all the love. See your vlog next week.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! We're always so happy to share our adventures with you.
Ha! Better get some practice Dan, looks like Peter got the better of ya! 😅😅 That's one heckuva trip to get the mail 😮
Haha yeah, I need to work on my skills! 😉
“But of course I had to make things more interesting and buried my mother’s snow mobile.” ☺️ just another day in the life! Excellent adventurous, exciting video. Great editing Dan. Brotherly love and family galore, what blessings! Always look forward to Sundays and your videos. ❤️🐾
Fantastic vlog Dan. Really like the day in the life content. Glad you got the snowmobile out of the water. What a fun adventure with the cousins. Be well and stay safe. Puck 🏒🙏

Haha thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi Dan, great day in your life video. It is great that Matt and Caroline could come and enjoy time in the Island and also your Uncle and cousins.
Glad that you caught Lando's reaction to you and Pete wrestling. He is such a great family dog. Your dad's reassurance that you were both ok seem to make him happy.
Looks like you had a blast on the Snowmobiles and some good Stunt riding as well. Glad that you were able to get your Snowmobile unstuck and that you weren't alone.
Looks forward to next weeks video.
Boys will be boy's glad you all got to have this time together, great time
I agree! It’s important to make time for family.
It’s a good hobby to relax and pass time
I agree!
My daughter loves digital art. She suggested a glove so that your hand does not interfere with your work.
That’s a great idea! I will keep that in mind.
Another great video Dan. Nice to see all you guys on the snow mobiles keep the videos coming, buddy. Ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
See you next week. 🤠
I absolutely love watching the boys wrestling in the snow. This brings back good memories watching my 2 sons as they growing up
Tons Fun What A Hoot😅😂
See you next week, an it was fun to watch everybody enjoying the snow , and watching two brothers figthing for fun ❤😊!
See you next week! ❄️
Nothing like family and enjoying one another. Thank you for sharing.
I agree! Family time is the best.
@ where I live in southeast Texas we rarely get snow but a week ago we actually had a “blizzard “ and 6-8 inches of snow and cold weather in the teens. Totally historic for us. Across the southern states people were having the best time playing in the snow, improvising “sleds”, skiing and on Canal Street in New Orleans some were playing hockey! You can probably find videos on TH-cam about it. I can’t imagine having your Canadian winters and doing all the things you can do whether it’s work or play.
Love seeing confident, respectful, hard working, beautiful, family oriented young men. I got snow today ❤🙏 from Duvall Wa
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
Great fun !!!!!❤
Love all the snow, I miss it from when I was a boy. You boys seem to have a lot of fun it reminds me of me and my best friend growing up, we have been friends for 54 years now. Keep the good videos coming and God bless you and your family.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it! Winter is more fun surrounded by friends!
Excellent video as always Dan. I look forward every week for your new videos. Thanks.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Such a fun video. I love how close your family is. Such a blessing.
I agree, family is everything.
I really loved this video Dan and you have become so relaxed and comfortable in your videos. The art project looks promising!
I’m glad you liked the art project, I’m excited to share more of it.
Family time is everything. Fun video.
I agree!
As an art teacher i suggest starting with simple objects you have right there... like the duck decoy on your ledge. Experiment with only a few digital tools at a time for lines and simple shading. You can also go to youtube and find a zillion videos to watch, but choose simple ones that aren't overwhelming with too many exercises or fancy tricks until you get comfortable with the tools. Drawing tbe things around you is a great way to record your life experiences, like portraits of Lando, landscapes, the trees in the snow, and your family doing chores. Quick gesture drawings can be exquisite reminders of the day to day, like taking candid photos.
Great advice.. Your cabin has such a cozy relaxing feel to it !! Loved the video..👍✌️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes, please continue n share your Art.
Thank you! Will do!
It was a lot of fun!❤
Yes it was!
love your family, you're all such lovely people! Thanks for sharing Dan. Loving your unique music on your videos, you're doing a great job!
I’m glad you like the music, thanks for watching!
Nice Job
Thanks for watching!
Another fun video Dan! I loved watching you and Pete wrestle! Reminds me of my boys when they were younger. The snowmobiling is always a great time. I miss it here in northern Wisconsin and the UP which were our favorite places to sled. I’m too old now for that. Yes, I hope you guys get out and do some videos while sledding. Would love to see it. Maybe you will see more wolves.
Great to watch u guys having fun like kids
Enjoyed this video very much.
Thanks so much for watching!
Oh that video takes me back… nostalgia overload!!❤ Word of caution.. one wrong move on a snow machine can kill you. Respect the machine. Respect the conditions. A hidden object hit at even moderate speed can be injurious or fatal. That being said… I had my own snowmobile (mis)adventures in my time. I was also the human definition of “running water” in winter time. And yes please..update us on your artistic journey
That digital drawing program is cool, but it looks complicated. It’s good that you have some time to experiment with it this winter. You certainly have some beautiful scenery to draw up there around the lake.
Thanks! I’m finding it fun to learn.
Lesson: Never kick man in backside while him holding sharp ax😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good one Dan. Really enjoy watching your creativity and humor. Would love to see more of your artistic side❤
Morning from Chicago enjoy your videos take care
Good morning ☕️ and thank you.
Enjoying all of your content!
Glad to hear it!
Que bom que vc não se machucou nesta aventura radical, obrigada pelo video até o proximo
I’m glad you enjoyed it! And thank you!
I heard if you put pine boughs in your ice hole it will stop it from freezing. Also would like to see your art with paint or pen.
How does your family repay the neighbors that gift to you and give fan boat rides and at the marina?
Great video Dan, as usually. Love the day to day stuff. Keep up the awesome work!!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool video Dan! The snowmobiles with all the guys was awesome...it's not fun unless there's a problem, great teamwork save!
Boys will be boys❤ but l hate the noise of an Arctic Cat, but boys will be boys❤
nice to go and have fun thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hi Dan !! Look at all that SNOW ! Montreal escaped the blizzard that came up from Georgian Bay last week, we only got 5 to 10 cm.
We are expecting more snow overnight tonight into tomorrow. We haven't received a major snowfall, YET !! But it is February now, and this is the worst month of winter for us.
Sure looks pretty out there.
Great views of the frozen town of Killarney in the winter. I think that the snowmobile on the lake is safer than driving on the highway.
I thought this was the Killary area. I've been up there a few times. We go up to the Frenc River area every yr
Lookup a SJCam SJ20 Action camera.. good for a backup.. Dual-Lens Uhd 4K Action Digital Camera | 8-Hour Duration or 1850mAh Battery, Stabilization, Waterproof, 8X Zoom, you can do a Vs between SJ n DJI Osmo n gopro
I will check it out thanks for the tip!
Lots of camera angles to get in the cold and snow...wow! Great job! What did mom say when she found out you put her machine in the water?
Awesome pictures of skidoos against the sky. Is it possible to get a 1000 lb + propane tank and gas tanks installed on a float that can be filled, which will last longer than a month.
You and your brother wrestling was good to see. It always amazes me how you make it look so easy getting around without getting lost. How old are you and your brother also are you in college.
We’re glad you enjoyed the video! My brother is 22 and I am 20 years old. 👍🏻
@ I admire both of you to have the courage to live your dream.
Are either one of you in college or trade school?
Lando use the bone use the bone
Hi Dan I started watching Epic Family when you were diagnosed with diabetes. How are you doing with it now? Btw great video
❤❤👍👍👍👍
Love watching! Do you have a list of your camera gear that you use listed somewhere? Or a quick list would work too! Thanks. Dan
My main vlogging camera is the DJI OSMO and for the stills / cinematic shots I use the A7R4. 👍🏻
@ osmo pocket or Osmo action camera? Thanks again.
How tall would you say that giant wolf was at the shoulders on all four? Would have loved to have seen it.
Im not exactly sure since there was little visibility but the wolves we have in this area are some of the largest in the world.
Australia.
I would like to know what moose tastes like. I imagine it might taste a bit like venison. Or does it taste more like beef. Also was that maple syrup in a can???
All that snow is hard to imagine when we are all boiling over here. Super hot summer this year. 😮
It does taste a bit like venison, but with a little more beef flavour if that makes sense! And yes, it was maple syrup in a can! It's a great way to keep it fresh and ready to go. 😄
@danvanstralen I have never seen maple syrup in a can. We need that over here.
2/2/25 0 Dan, Curious, How fast are the snow mobiles?
They can reach speeds up to 110mph depending on the snow/ice conditions!
Does the lake ever get frozen enough to drive a car on?
Yes at this point you probably could but there is always the risk. 😂
it would be crazy to have the jeep at the cabin
I prefer the surprise of using the actual pastels, charcoals, watercolors and oil paints.
I agree, there’s something special about traditional art supplies. However at least right now it’s not very ethical for me. 👍🏻
You need a haircut it's getting long.😅😅
😅 I do.
