- Welcome to Good Hope Cannery in Rivers Inlet, BC.
In this episode of Lodge Life we are moving back into the kitchen, finally the floors are finished! It's been a challenge working out of the guest dining room with the oven and dish washing area in the laundry room. We also got a fancy new oven installed.
We celebrated Christian and Jeffs birthdays with a birthday dip and special dinner and dessert.
Join me and the lodge crew as we prepare for our first few guests.
Thanks so much for watching and following along on our adventures!
Take care until next time,
Jenny Adrift
Your organizational skills are amazing what a nice group of people,thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another tour, Jen. Brings back (mostly) good memories. I freed up a couple of the old belt driven tools there when I was doing maintenance from '99 to '02 but that whole end has been taken to a new level since then! I was also on the crew putting the steel roof on, the rain was so much quieter before then lol
Wow! I’ve tried to imagine what it would have been like for the roofers on that slant. I love hearing the rain on that roof! It’s a beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing your experience up here!!
My wife and I are full time RVers since 2017 and we work camped in Western WA for 6 years of that. We visited the old Bumblebee cannery in Astoria, OR, which is now a museum. It amazes me the old school low technology production they were able to accomplish.
Such compelling storytelling. Wonderful.
Awww thank you so much! I was hoping this video wouldn’t bore anyone too much. Haha I forget how cool this place is. After awhile you get used to your surroundings I guess. Not matter how cool.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Thank you!!! 🙏
You are a very caring lady at your job
Once your guests arrive, It must be like a beehive at the Cannery. Feeding all the guests and staff, has its challenges. When I see the banquet you prepare, Im sure its appreciated by all, it looks delicious. Merci infiniment pour tes videos magnifique, cest tres apprecie!!
Thank you so much Pierre! I appreciate your comment and support! The guests arrive this Sunday and the vibe will be a lot different. I’d like to capture a full day of what it’s like feeding both staff and guests.
Got to love the dance moves.....
Haha right?! Thanks Dan. We like to have fun!
Jenny, keep the videos coming. They are so great. It is nice to see the behind the scenes comradery. Have all the fun you want. :) Looking forward to your next post!
Thanks Don!! I appreciate that so much! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and I’ll do my best to keep you posted with what’s happening up here in our little bay ❤
great video and a beautiful part of the world
It really is a special place. Have you visited Rivers Inlet?
@@jenny_adriftNo unfortunately I haven't. I live in the Cowichan Valley and have boated as far north as the Campbell River area. It just increases in beauty as you go north. I have flown over the area years ago when I was an Air Cadet and was lucky enough to do a lot of weekend flying. Flew in that area in an Aurora sub hunter aircraft out of Comox at low altitude on a demo flight once. The beauty of the area far outweighed the excitement of being on that high tech plane. I trained as a cook back in the 80's and have done my share of kitchen work lol. You have earned yourself a dream job. Well done.
@@Creativecavemanagainwow you sure have travelled around the area a lot! You’re right, the further north you travel, the more wild and beautiful it is.
Another most Excellent little video of life on the Coast. Tremendous job Jenny. thankx for the effort
Thank you so much, Robin! Im so happy to hear that you enjoyed it! I will keep them coming.
Hi Jenny!! I just received your video today and I’m hooked! Your videos are fascinating and especially so bc I live on Vancouver Island!! Thanks for all your enthusiasm and gratitude videos!, ❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I appreciate you saying that I’m glad you were enjoying the videos and there’s so many more to come. Take care and thanks again.
c'est bon!!!!! Dreaming of your food Jenny girl
Thanks Meagan!!! Love you so much!!!
Hi Jen. Once again you provide an excellent depiction of life at that most unique place. Thank you so much much for sharing your experience there. To put together such a great video amongst doing all your daily tasks is greatly appreciated.
I look forward to your uploads with great anticipation.
Much love to you and all
Thank you Kevin!! Comments like yours help me push through to get these videos out. I’m already working on the next one.
Have you been up to Rivers Inlet?
So glad you’re enjoying these videos and the unique lifestyle we have up here
The thanks go to you Jenny. All the effort you put into your job and equally to your videos. It reveals your remarkable character and the remarkable character of the unique individuals you work with. I have never been to British Columbia. I was stationed at Whidbey Island WA. In the late 70’s and it was truly a magical place and time for me. I also was fortunate enough to visit Alaska in 2009. British Columbia was always a place I wanted to see and experience. At this point in my life though it seems I will only be able to do it through your wonderful documentary’s. So again I thank you and your incredible community for all you do. And I look forward to all of your videos to come.
God Bless, all of you.
Kevin
@@kevinmurphy1420thank you for sharing your story. The west coast is so beautiful. I’m really happy to be able to share this special place with you.
Looking forward to your next post, when the guest arrive. been sharing your site with my fishing buddies, cant wait to the make my reservations.
Thank you so much for sharing, Glenn. I’m sure we would enjoy having you up here but there is no way to reserve at Good Hope Cannery. It is a private home. Nearby is a really cool resort called Duncanby that you should check out! And let me know if you end up visiting.
Happy fishing to you and your friends.
Wonderful content Jen…
Thank you!! I love creating it
Jenny, thank you for a great video, and you have a wonderful group to work with. And the food you prepare and serve ??? Awesome.
Wow thank you so much!! I am so lucky to have this crew to work with. They are all amazing. Have you worked in resorts/ lodges?
@@jenny_adrift I retired in 2002 after being in the military, working in a dairy processing plant, and being a school bus driver. Never worked at, but always wanted to go to, a resort like Good Hope. Got sea sick on my first ferry ride, so don't get on the ocean much. You guys keep up the great work, and keep the vids coming.
@@dhornsbycultusthank you! I will keep working on more. Being sea sick is a tough feeling. The first time I spent a day fishing here I felt the motion of the ocean for days after. Couldn’t close my eyes in the shower haha or I’d fall over
Thanks for sharing your journey! I know how hard Chefs work as my Son cooks in remote camps, mostly on his own!!! Please keep your videos coming! xxx
Thank you, Catherine. Where is your son working now? It is a lot of work especially on your own.
Thanks for watching!
@@jenny_adrift He's in Northern Saskatchewan!
@@catherineanderson77I hope he’s enjoying it there, it’s a different kind of beauty. Big skies and fields.
Hi Jen. This place is huge. You could have a decent sized hockey tournament in there.🇨🇦
We sure could and we actually have. We’ve got hockey nets and sticks in the cannery. Also would be great for ultimate hide and seek haha
I just found your channel and sub’s. Looks like an interesting place, I like old shit like that 👍the daily dog walks.. burning gas and people power to ensure the dogs get walked 🤔.. thanks
Thank you for the sub! This old cannery is so cool to work in. There’s parts of it(like the kitchen) that have been totally updated and there are parts that look just like it did when it ran as a cannery.
The dog walks are a great way for staff to get out and enjoy nature, it does take a lot of energy physically but mentally it’s very helpful sometimes.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!
OMG You keep the kitchen so clean! I know how much work that is. I Worked in kicken when I was in school and can really appreciate the job you are doing.. The lodge is so well maintained and updated, it is amazing! I hope your viewers really understand just how remote you are. And how difficult and expensive things are to acquire.
How many guests and crew will you feed a day in HI Season?
Sometime I would love to see the generators and shed in a video. A lot of people may not realize that there's no electricity there. You have to make your own.
That’s so true! Great point about showing the generator shed. It is very remote.
And thank you for such a kind comment. I do work he’s at keeping the kitchen clean and organized. My sous chef is even more organized so we do a good job. Jeff who does the dishes (as well as many other things) also does a great job at the end of the night with the floors and hood vents and of course, the dish pit.
Definitely a team effort. Thank you for noticing and commenting.
I’ve got a few videos in the works but I will be filming the Gen shed and water intake system soon and showing how everything works.
Thank you, Charlie!! Do you not work in kitchens anymore?
Also our busy season is in august. Honestly it’s mostly a staff lodge. At most we have 10 guests and the turn overs aren’t like regular lodges. It’s a private home/ wilderness lodge. A total unicorn
👍
Thank so much for watching and commenting! Have you visited Rivers Inlet before?
Keep up the great work! Your videography is phenomenal it is a shame that it only uploads in 380k but I imagine that is due to where you are. Anyways as always looking forward to future vids! Cheers from Cowichan_Adventure_Van.
Thank you so such a kind comment! I’m sorry to hear you aren’t watching the 4K version. Sometimes it takes a little longer to upload. Try watching it again now and see if it loads differently. There may also be a settling that you change on your device.
Star Link has been super helpful with being able to upload videos faster but it’s definitely still slower then in the “real world” haha
@@jenny_adrift Thanks you were correct, it was definitely better today. That's what I get for being so eager lol.
@@glendonsmith8438thanks for checking it out again. I try to make sure the quality is good for everyone to enjoy ❤
Do you cook Vegan?
Yes I do cook vegan as well. We usually have a meat and vegan option for most meals.
So, if you can't make Reservations - who gets to come there? I don't follow, are they only Guests of the Owner?
Yes, that's right. The owner decides who comes up and when. It's a different vibe up here in our quiet little bay.
@@jenny_adrift Do they pay for their trip? So the only way to go there is by invite from the owner? So, basically only his Friends/family?
@@wineguy47the guests don’t pay to come up. The owner takes care of it all.
Wow, they’re SO lucky to have you. You make it look so easy but I know it’s anything but easy. That’s a sign of a true seasoned professional. Your videos are a true joy to watch. Thank you!
