- Welcome To Rivers Inlet in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
Good hope cannery is our home and work place for the spring and summer months. It's started as a cannery in 1895 and is one of few authentic 19th century canneries still in existence. Once ice was readily available, the need for canning the salmon became obsolete as the salmon could now be shipped to Vancouver where it was far less expensive to process the fish. Later on this cannery became a sport fishing lodge, and is now a private home/wilderness lodge.

This episode of Lodge Lie you will be join Christian and I as we give you a tour of our water and power system.
We pull our water from the river next to us that flows down from Sandell Lake. It's pumped up to the sand filter and holding tanks which hold over 3000 gallons between the two. It goes through multiple filtration systems before filling our glasses.
Our power comes from 1 of 3 Cummins generators that get switched over depending on how many people are at the lodge or if oil changes or maintenance need to be done.
And so many other little things happening in in around the kitchen all the time.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing and reaching out to let me know what you thought of the video. If you have any questions, please throw them into the comments below and answer them all!
Take care until next time!

OMG. Thx, Thx,. A video I've been dying to see! I love Quality equipment that is maintained. You guys are doing an amazing job Of maintaining And upgrading the equipment and the lodge. It takes really special people to appreciate the quality equipment and ability to take care of it so well. I've seen many generator sheds, they're never like yours. Yours looks like a hospital operating room Congrats to all involved.
Thank you Charlie!! Christian is a very organized man who appreciates a clean work space. He takes very good care of all the spaces he is works in and tools. He is very much appreciated here. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your support and I’m excited to share the next one with you!!
What a great walk through. The systems employed are surprisingly high quality. I didn't know what to expect. The money to set up must have been substantial. I always find it fascinating how much supply chain is needed to run remote operations. Very cool. Again, great video.
Thank you so much!! It is quite the system we have up here
The infrastructure needed to run the Cannery, plus all the maintenance and staff must be a substantial investment. When you walk through the Cannery, it’s size is impressive. I am always looking for TH-cam channels that are Canadian, and yours popped up a few weeks ago. I am not disappointed. Thanks again for sharing, once I start watching I can’t stop 👍
It is very impressing how much time and money goes into this place. We love it so much. I’m so happy you found my channel. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I volunteer at the Young Life camp at Malibu Rapids. We replaced the diesel generators with a hydro generator. It's paid for itself many times over.
Oh miss that place. Its been 22 years since I have worked there. Jenn the vids are so good that I can still smell and feel the workshop and kitchen. The kitchen looks amazing by the way. Oh I miss that place.
It’s such a magical place. I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. They are a lot of fun to make! The kitchen is so great. Best one I’ve ever worked in
What an amazing operation and everything so well maintained and well organized.Thanks for sharing your awesome videos Jenny.
Thank you so much! Christian does an amazing job keeping everything neat and tidy! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos!
Jenny, I lost my breath and 'oomph' on the first set of steps to the water tanks, and Christian and you were like climbing machines, and he does this at least every other day!!?? . Wow. Lovely tour of a well kept beautiful place. Thanks.👍
Thank you so much! It was a lot of walking up-hill for sure. Christian is definitely fit! I’m happy that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your support
it hurts my soul to watch you feed the dogs those precious precious salmonberries haha
But they love them!! Haha.
Keep up the great work, Jenny! Love your videos. Watching from southern oregon.
Thank you so much for that kind comment! Truly appreciated ♥️
Hi Jenny, thanks for the tour behind the scenes....really appreciated it, as a hunter and outdoors man, I wonder if you could let me know the type of rifle, and calibre of bullet carried in Grizzly Country, ie 30-06 or heavier, and what your Policy is, shoot on sight, depends etc. We deal with Black Bear alot but can scare them off with alot of yelling and banging...but they get more desperate for food in mid summer, and you have to be careful...but a big difference between Black Bear and Grizzlies. Thank you
Thank you for asking, although I don’t know everything about the guns that we use. I do know that the shotgun is loaded with two rubber bullets before an actual shell. We do not want to kill these beautiful grizzly bears. We just need to protect ourselves.
We are always very careful with not attracting bears to us and so far we have never had a problem . The dogs also let us know when a bear is nearby. The cannery and we keep all the cannery doors closed so that it’s not wandering around inside. We are very bare aware up here.
Thanks again I’m glad to see you’re enjoying the videos.
That transformer is humming!
Wow! What a system of power and water.
It is a cool system!! Thanks for watching!
Living the life of luxury in a remote place. Thank you for keeping us with you as you go about your dailies. Who needs City life when you have this. :)
Great question!!! Who needs city life? Haha as long as the barge is running we are ok.
Absolutely winded just watching you hike to the river. Very informative tour Jen & Christian ❤️
Hehe oh man. We got our steps in that day
Quite the impressive off grid systems you have, I can tell the equipment is extremely well maintained. The new cummins genset looks complex but very nifty. I like how you ducked the volume as you put the earmuffs on, nice editing touch.
Thanks Adam!! I love editing!
So good, so good. Christian is such a pleasant man. Most valuable help. Great find to have him . Almost as valuable as " Head Chef" ha ha Your doing so fine.
Thank you Robin! It’s so true! Christian is highly valued up here and keeps the place running. It would not be the same without him. Thanks for the comment! Haha
Super clean gen shack! What a cool place. If my airplane experience trouble close by, I will for sure land there!! Thanks
Haha this is definitely a nice and safe place to land your plane! Christian does an amazing job, keeping the gen shed clean and organized! Thanks again for your comment
very cool to see the inner workings of your power n water
Thank you Clinton! I truly appreciate that!!
Thanks, Christian..Jenny
Thank you for watching!! Hope you enjoyed the tour!
Totally saying it again like others!! But wow what a clean looking set up! Great Video thanks for posting 😊
Thank you for watching! Christian works hard to make sure everything is organized so well!!
Thanks! What an amazing video! Thank You for all the hard work!
I am so happy to know that you enjoyed this video! It was a pleasure working on it with Christian. Thank you for your support and your generosity. I am truly grateful!
Love your posts! Having boated the coast for years, the memories come back every time I see your post.
Most memorable was a open fire salmon cook out just outside Fury Cove on a sand beach, green water, just like Hawaii. Wish our salmon was as professionally prepared as one of you previous videos.
Maybe give us insight into the garbage disposal process in one of your videos. Have a great summer!!
What area along the coast is Fury cove? That sounds lovely! Thanks for the comment. I will work on the garbage disposal video soon. I have plans for a boat tour soon and we just took a heli to Calvert island and I’ll be sharing that with you soon.
Thanks again!
Just a short distance from you. Fury Island, just off Fitz Hugh sound ,opposite south tip of Calvert island. Probably 20 minutes from you. Look at a google satellite image and you’ll see just outside the sheltered bay, a little cutback with white sand and green water on the outside of Fury Island.
Guarantee if yo do a quick trip over there and start up the GoPro, you’ll have the best forever memory, provided it is sunny and sun is setting. Take a bathing suit, a friend,a salmon , the dogs, you’ll never regret the moment!!

Found your video's the other day Loving your content👍👍😎.Raised a VI Island gIrl.I'm always looking for new adventures. I prefer remote.This remote shangri-la is so charming.You've got me inspired to perhaps look into a trip out this way..Guided fishing & cabin stay???Great video Christian & Jenny👍👍👍
Thank you so much for that lovely comment! I’m so happy you are enjoying my videos!
I love Vancouver island also.
This lodge is privately owned so the only guests we have are invited up by the owner. Mostly his friends and family. But there are other lodges in the inlet nearby that you could check out if you’re interested. One is called Duncanby lodge.
Thanks again!!!
So interesting! Thanks Jenny and Christian!
Thank you for your comment Lois! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Very impressive …..
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate the support
Awesome information, thank you. Amazing setup! Glad I found your channel. Best wishes 😂
Thank you so much, Tom! I’m happy to share these videos with you and I’m glad you found my channel! Take care see you on the next video
Fantastic
I appreciate that thank you!! Christian does an amazing job up here!
Congrats on 1K subscribers, Keep up the good job.
Thank you so much!!! So much more awesome footage to come! I just droned around a couple eagles on Calvert island and it was AMAZING!
Very interesting tour of your water and power supply. 👍 Not many places where you have to take "the magic stick" (as you call it ) when you leave the property. The whole system looks very efficient. Would solar be an option to lessen the dependence on diseal, or is the cost of a system too much for the sun ☀️ that you receive?? Good Hope is located on that inlet that faces north west so little sun would get to any panels. I guess I just answered my own question. Keep the videos coming. Were those elephant ears you were making?? 😋
The water and power system up here are pretty amazing! I think you did answer your own question, we don’t get a lot of sunshine up here.
That was fry bread we were making in this video. It’s similar to bannock. We got the recipe from 2 First Nations ladies that worked up here years ago (mother and daughter) and I would love to share it on another video but they were reluctant to share the recipe at all so I feel I should keep it a secret.. which isn’t something I usually do. Maybe I could reach out to them and ask them if I could share it because it is very tasty!
Just a curiosity That road you see where the generator shack is is that road do anywhere or just a dead end for going back to building to building and does the fuel get pumped up from the Dock to the tanks very cool video I really love scene kind of stuff like that and how these places are self-sufficient power and heating and the water pretty cool job maybe one year I’ll find something like this to do
Yes, the fuel gets pumped up from the fuel dock to the tanks up above. The road splits one of them leads to our burn pile and the other one is a dead end where they’re used to be houses back in the cannery days. It ends at the creek.
5:14 some advice for you, don't aim your shotgun at your camera operators head (unless you intend to kill them?).
Do they offer hunting or fishing trips? Nice setup 👌
Sorry! It’s a private lodge for the owner and his family. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic videos of this place, well done , it's a full time job putting them together.
But why did this beautiful lodge close down? All that money spent? Please tell me it isn't abandoned. And you guys have all lost wonderful jobs , Why?
Thanks
Hi Nick! Thank you so much! It definitely is a full time job. This lodge is privately run now so it’s far from abandoned. The owner spends his summers here with his 3 Newfoundland dogs and has us staff running it. He invites friends and family up that we take care of in July, August and September. It is a very interesting place. I will try to make a video explaining it better because I e have other people emailing looking to spend a week here when it is no longer a commercial lodge. There are other lodges nearby that are really great, like Duncanby.
I hope that clarifies things.
Thanks for your comment and thank you so much for watching my videos!
@@jenny_adrift Thank you for responding so fast, what a great job you have there , well done .
We live on the coast, and appreciate the beauty and solitude of that area, heading up to the Charlotte's for the first time, a bit more affordable haha
Thank you again
@@nicksquire3934 have a great trip!
Where do you get the propane? It must cost a fortune to run that place.
It does cost a fortune!! We get our fuel delivered to us by the barge and it gets pumped up the hill to larger tanks.
No secondary backup pump?
No, there’s just the one pump. Thanks for your comment.
So is the owner a millionaire I take it? Lol so this cannery isn't in operation anymore just a getaway for people now? What a beautiful place
He inherited a lot of money.
What's funny is all the BS about how they would do it 😂
Man that weapons handling in general is sus. In particular 20:59 come on man, covering the barrel with your hand??? Muzzle waving around everywhere while walking and talking. Nice dude... but fff
Christian is always very careful with the shotgun. He’s not usually walking around talking to a camera while holding it. He did a great job explaining everything while I filmed him so I’m very grateful. No accidents.
