Your husband is a one in a million. I cried watch him pick you up. Now that’s love! ♥️
Yeah he's pretty awesome. One of the perks of being paralyzed is getting carried by my hubby all the time!
You’re one tough lady and Joe is a keeper. So proud of you both.💕🇦🇺
Love how Joe didn't help you right away in the kayak and let you try first. As a person just recently using a wheelchair I'm realizing how important it is to try and struggle with things sometimes.
You definitely have to let yourself struggle or else you'll never figure out what you are capable of:)
"Say something to start the vlog." "Leave me alone!" I almost fell out of my chair at that one, Joe is my spirit animal.
Yeah I've never been able to make him do anything lol.
Hi Brit & Jo, as a physically disabled person myself I can totally relate to watching Brit being determined to do things independently but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I've always appreciated people being willing to help but prefer being left alone to try it on my own first. Strangers I sometimes feel they're really pushing to help, just assuming I'm not able on my own because its physically more difficult for me. I feel as though I'm being babied and I've never liked that. Jo its lovely to see that as the able bodied partner you don't coddle Brit but are willing to provide any help when needed.
Able bodied people have a hard time watching us struggle lol. It's annoying. And yeah, Joe is good at ignoring me unless I yell for help lol.
Love the guitar playing and singing 🎶🎵🎤 making such wonderful memories. Love this entire video so much and glad you all had a wonderful time!
Thanks for watching 😉!
Thank you for wearing a life jacket! The Mom in me was freaking out when I saw you about to go without one lol ;)
Yeah that wasn't the smartest lol. Glad my sister nagged me haha.
Brittney,Joe that was amazing its so good to see you both smile, i have seen your other videos at that cabin and they were fantastic, glad you put a life jacket on in the end.
you looked horrified on the quad 😰🤣but pleased you lot had fun. speak to you at the live show,and thank you for shareing your weekend.
I was pretty scared on the quad lol. If I had been more familiar with the terrain it would have been fine but I'd never been on those trails before so I was nervous 😓
you are in safe hands with Joe, he is 100% the best.@@EmpoweredPara
@brianlowther5929 Yeah I trust that guy with my life!
I know that I am wrong and that I am going to hate myself later on for this, but it was kinda funny watching you trying to get out of that kayak. Sorry to laugh Brittney. I can’t imagine how you were ever going to get out of it by yourself (thank heavens for Joe) - the kayak is super-tippy, and your wheelchair, even with brakes on, was on lumpy ground. Kudos on a great attempt! You never give up. It is a wonderful video - we love these “days in your life” type!!
That made me laugh, great opening! And you can still hear Joe swatting for flies in the back ground LOL
Lol the flies were insane!!! I've literally never seen do many 😳.
Good day!!@@arsolblanes5058
Nice to see you 2 out and about… Joe is a great guy… hope you enjoyed your week end without kids… already snow in the mountains of Montana… and Yellowstone park…
Don't even mention snow lol! So far so good here!
Nice vlog and beautiful place. But the people you're with is always the most important part. Thanks for sharing it, Brittney.
yep the people are what make it worth it!
Love you Brittney and Joe, thanks for posting:)
Thanks for watching! Love you too!
Beautiful day, beautiful place. Wonderful vedio. Thank you.
I can never get in and out of a kayak without help.... Plus, my upper body kills after kayaking off the coast...
All the best!
My shoulders are definitely getting old!
Hey 👋
I watch you often and I like your optimistic attitude. I have primary progressive multiple sclerosis
I saw a segment where you used your wheelchair, got into your vehicle as a driver
You dismantled your wheelchair after you buckled in your driver position. I am looking for something light so I can do that. I can drive, but learning to rewalk
I think this was the show with yourself and your husband
You are quite an inspiration! Thank you.
I have a,whole video on lightweight wheelchairs and I specify the weight of each without the wheels. Check it out!

I admire you guys. ❤🎉
I love how Joe made sure Britney’s legs were in right place when getting on the quad: ❤️
He's always looking our for my me like that. Making sure my butt is on something comfortable, my legs aren't twisted or touching something hot. I definitely lucked out finding someone that cares so much!
I REALLY enjoyed watching your fail's. It's nice to see you para's not transfer easy for once.
Lol I'm fail just for you Trevis!!!
Well done in the canoe (or was it a Kayak?). Well done for trying to get out of it. I wonder if you would have been successful if you had lifted yourself onto the side of the canoe by putting both hands on the canoe. That would have maintained the balance. Then grab the chair.
Another suggestion. On the quad, maybe hold on to Joe. Probably would be more stable for you. And certainly would be more romantic!
Love the video. Thanks for taking me along. I'm just upset that I didn't get any cheesecake.
I love your videos, thank you!
You're welcome!!!
Beautiful area!
Wonderful video. Nice to get out in nature once in awhile. I'd love to get out on a four wheeler ride sometime as I'm quite the wuss in the winter nowadays. PS that cake looked amazing. Really enjoyed your guitar playing too.
You mean the cake that I kept shoveling into my mouth and then talking!? Haha. Sorry you had to see that lol.
Glad you had a nice vacation.
Thanks!
Looks like a great place to spend some time
It's beautiful there!
Yes, I agree with the subscriber who said it is soooo romantic that Joe and you get time close together when he lifts you! A great way to get regular hugs! But why is it that he so often has to tell you to put on the brakes of your chair?
Thank you for the cheesecake recipe
You're welcome! Sorry I talked with my mouth full the whole time I was telling you the recipe!
"I'm making this look really hard!" That's because it is really hard! No able-bodied person will ever understand how difficult those low tranfers are. My shoulders are shot, so these are no longer possible for me, but I was cheering for you. Too bad my wife isn't as strong as Joe.....she would probably say too bad I am not as skinny as you :)
So you would have been stuck in the kayak until you figured out how to get out lol? I've been I those situations before and it's amazing how much stronger a little anger (or alot) can make you lol. I call it "Hulk mad motivation" 💪.
Seem like a good time, that place reminds me of this one, Asturias; also that cake looked great to me, with some nuts on top would be awesome.
The cake was yummy!
It looks like you had a good time. A vacation from your kids for a few days.
It was a nice weekend for sure!
❤️ enjoy, but I think that I saw that’s oké … beautiful, people i wish had to know you in real… grtzzz from Holland 🌹🍀
No “happy, healthy, awesome” beginning, eh. My wife and I were so glad when your sister insisted you put on a life jacket. But we were freaking out and crossing our fingers - the ones we can actually cross lol - when you didn’t wear a helmet on the quad. OMG!
We were going super slow and on relatively flat ground!
@@EmpoweredPara WHEW! Your safety and well-being is paramount. And, of course, your happiness!
I normally get up at 0545. BUT today my clock battery died & didn't get up til 0720.
Yep it's been 1 of those days.
I bet it felt kinda nice to sleep in though lol!
@@EmpoweredPara No, it totally screwed me up.
I should have just stayed in bed.
Except to eat.
i bet ole joe cops a feel every time he picks you up....lucky dog.....you make me smile with your satire
haha, not that often actually! I guess it's not a novelty anymore lol.
You guys are so cool! But maybe you should go life jacket shopping 😜 lol
I have one that fits! I just didn't think to bring it and so was forced to borrow what the owner of the cabin had!
@@EmpoweredPara Was just teasing. I know when you have a disability, there is so much to take care of just to get out the door . Really think you guys are cool
Lovely spot, i want to visit canada one day but only in the summer! 🤣could you recomend somewhere? my wife and i stay in El Salvador every year for 3 months and because its such a long trip from Australia we usually incorporate Hawaii, Mexico, or fiji in the flights for a 5 night break, il look into canada for next year your recommendation would be appreciated! have you been to latin America? its amazing
I would recommend Banff! It's beautiful and close to Calgary which has a major airport! Also close to me 😉!
thanks and sounds great, isnt that the same place a couple got eaten by a bear recently?@@EmpoweredPara
Shirley here, how did you bend your left leg up like that when you got out of the kayak and when you where in the wheele chair I notice you had your knee bent. I didn't think you could even bend your knees.
my legs still have reflexes that make my legs move on their own:)
@@EmpoweredPara oh ok I was surprised seeing that.
Lovely video, although I wonder why you guys don't wear helmets when riding on that off-road vehicle. Anything without a roof, or even a roll bar, is inherently less safe than a car.
Yeah we should have!
I know many vloggers who start their vlogs the same way every time.
13:51 Who in their right mind would eat shit?!
lol apparently I eat shit!
Yeah, I’d have trouble watching you trying to get out of the kayak. I’d want to rush over and help you, but I know that would be wrong and it would be taking your confidence away. I have trouble remembering to not help my wife and she gets really pissed off when I try to help her. I should know better that she will find a way to do it herself. If she truly needs help, she might ask me.
Ok my friend it’s time to start hitting the weights build those arms back up, and your cardio to. I understand how difficult it had to be getting out of the kayak. Good for you facing your fears about being on the quad, just look at 5be cool ride you had. I’d love to be able to do that again, just to bumpy for me after 5 spinal surgeries after my SCI.
You always impress me with your willingness to overcome.
I took a huge step this week and drove to Toronto by myself this week, I still don’t like the city lol. You and your videos and your advice has helped me climb out of my comfort zone, thank you. The camp fire looked so amazing.
I know, I know lol....gotta get back to working out!
That's amazing that you drove to Toronto! I'm gonna try and come out there next year! Got lots of people to visit there 😉! Maybe I'll come crash the aerobics class and surprise you lol!
