Family Of 7 Moves Off Grid Into The Canadian Wilderness

- Welcome back, everyone! We're so excited to share our latest adventures as we settle into our off-grid homestead in the middle of the beautiful Canadian wilderness. This week, we’ve been busy with some essential projects and made some wonderful memories along the way.
We started by building a sturdy entry staircase to our cabin, making it feel even more like home. Then, we tackled constructing a thunder box - a simple composting toilet that’s both practical and essential for our off-grid life. We also enclosed our bathroom with drywall, adding much-needed privacy and comfort to our living space.
But it’s not all work! We took a break and enjoyed a lovely trip to the beach, soaking up the sun and appreciating the serene nature around us. Of course, we made some delicious food and shared lots of laughs, creating moments we’ll cherish forever.
Join us on this incredible journey of homesteading and family bonding. Your support means the world to us, so please like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on all our adventures. See you in the next video!

Your courageous decision for your family of 7 to move off-grid into the Canadian wilderness is truly commendable. Your commitment to embracing a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle speaks volumes about your dedication to each other and the environment. Wishing you all continued strength, unity, and fulfillment in this new chapter of your lives. And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.
Thank you so much!
I have just watched all your house build videos, absolutely loved them it’s going to be a lovely cabin when you have finished. I hope people subscribe, it’s great seeing your journey, watching from 🇬🇧.
That’s awesome so glad you liked the videos. So much work, every video we’re trying to do better.
Enjoyed your video. I live in the Blue Ridge Mtns of North Carolina Foothills. Growing up we had outhouses till I was 6 or 7 yrs old. But for night time there was a pee pot...lol Yours is so much better looking than ours. I'm 64 yrs old now and watching your videos call to memories of long ago for me. GOD richly bless you and family. Waiting for the next video.
God bless you, I grew up in northern Ontario. We had an outhouse outside and when I was 3 would have to walk out in -30c to do my business. I loved your story thanks so much for sharing!
Great video, love what you and your family is doing. I'm 75 and was raised on a cattle ranch and always wanted to live off grid. Oh and hello from Michigan. God Bless.
Hello, that must have been great growing up in Michigan on a ranch like that. Welcome to the channel and God bless.
How exciting, you guys will be able to get more done being there full time. Looking forward to you're journey.
Thanks so much, so much ahead of us.
Glad to see your family moving out to your project.
It was super stressful first day wondering if we made a mistake or not, but although crazy busy it has been so peaceful.

Interesting build of compost toilet. No hinge? Do what we oldtimers used. An odd bit of leather from a broken belt or shoe nailed in place. Garden looks great.
I’ll keep that hack in my back pocket, thanks.

Thanks so much, excited to have you with us Nancy! God bless.
Too Be young again,it'd sure be this granny's choice,nice homelife,and abeautiful garden to boot,GB
Thanks so much, yes we’re having a go at the simple life that’s not so simple, but we’re loving it so far.
Consider closing off under you house to keep the pigs and critters out. My sister had them do damage to her insulation and pipes by letting them get under there. They seek it when it’s hot out.
You’re not wrong! I’m 100% framing under the house and running siding all the way to the ground.
You have a beautiful place
Thanks so much, it’s been a lot of work but it’s coming together.
You have a nice homestead
Thank you! We think it’s turning out okay.
I built my compost toilet much like yours. I found that it helped to put some foam window insulation under the bottom seat to prevent flies from getting into the honey pot. It wasn’t perfect but it helped. Also a urine diverted was very helpful as that moisture in part is what draws the flies to the toilet. I am in a hot humid climate so I don’t know if it will work differently for you.
That’s a good idea, I’ll keep that in my back pocket. Haven’t seen any flies yet, but if I do I’ll at least have a solution on hand, thanks.
Awesome property for the family. Very exciting journey ahead for you all. The house will be amazing once completed. Look forward to the next adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, yes we love this land. So much more work, but the fun is in the adventure.
Great video , looking forward to the next one.
Coming soon! Thanks!
Great job 😊

Just takes time and patience.
Ain’t that the truth!
Well well well…I have just accidentally found your channel. Can’t wait to tell the gang from work so that they can tune in. Looking forward to following you and your family on this journey.
lol no way! Haha you’re the first person I know personally that has found the channel. How’d you find it all the way over there?
@@Withthewildyes way. Found it by total accident. I watch a lot of off grid videos from Canada and Alaska and I was flicking through TH-cam tonight looking for one when yours popped up. I had no idea it was you. I was thinking “ you’re brave going off grid with 5 kids” whoever you are and I clicked on it and up you popped. I sat here for 2 minutes going is that who think it is?? 😂😂😂
🤣 haha that’s so funny, well welcome to the channel. What a small world.
@@Withthewildyes it certainly is. Looking forward to your future videos. 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much that’s so generous!!
Very enjoyable
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for showing up!
Good toilet. It will sure beat going outside in the winter months. When you put down that plastic when you’re working the plainer. Do it also when you’re sawing. Saw dust is great for a compost toilet. I made mine with just three side and the top. To change the bucket I just tip it forward and take the bucket out the back. I thought it might be a little weak. But that was four years ago and it is as good as the day I made it. Good luck. Later
That’s awesome advice, I actually spent the day today laying out the tools in the deck under plastic to achieve this end. I love to have get get great advice like this.
Love love this new channel. Looking forward to your next video ❤
Thanks so much!
Lots of jam ❤❤❤xxx
Great idea!
New here..will be watching 👀 😊
Welcome to the channel!
Your video was recommended to me through TH-cam, so I subscribed and I will probably go back to when you got the property. I don't know your name or anyone in the family's name, but hopefully I'll learn soon.
I’ll be have a background video coming up this week to help out with that.
New sub much respect 🤝💪🍁. I'm off grid, boat, float plane and sled access only in northern BC Can'tada.
Holy that’s extreme, that would be so cool!
Are you a former Aussie?? You threw out a few Aussiei-sms Cheers from an Aussie Grandma, living in Tasmania...always wanted to go to Canada, but left my run too late.🙃
I’m Canadian but my wife is Australian, we lived in Australia for a long while and had our sons over there in nsw. Tasmania seems like the ideal place, I’ve never been but would to go there. Welcome to channel!!

Please scrape your food off the chopping block with the back of your knife. Not the blade. It dulls it in no time. This will ensure years of great use for your knives.
✝️✨️💕👌
That checks out!
Need to make a better trail to the creek. Or at least. Clean it up a bit makes it easier
Ain’t that the truth.
First visit to your channel and enjoyed the visit. Can you tell me what Province you are located in?

🌸🇩🇰🌸
Ty
What is move off grind?🤔
How did I and no one else notice that lol, thanks.
Seems if you put a trash bag on the bucket for the toilet will be easier to change pull it up and bury it and put in a new bag
That might be worth an investigation!
Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness…
God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name
Okay thank you!
Yahusha is the most accurate transliteration of the name given to Christ the Messiah, as he was given the same name as Husha/Yahusha son of Nun (Numbers 13:8), whom the English world has always called Joshua. The name Yahusha means I AM HE who avenges, defends, delivers, helps, preserves, rescues, saves, brings salvation, your Savior, who brings you to victory. Further, I believe Yeshua is feminine.
