- Welcome back to Lodge Life!
This week I am starting some deep cleaning in the kitchen and slowly bring things out of storage and the guys are starting work on replacing some of the boat lift.
There is so much to be done and we are happy to do it because we are living in one of the most beautiful places in Canada. Rivers Inlet, BC.
The weather is still cold and rainy but we've been lucky to get a few sunny days.

Thanks for watching and take care until next time!

I live on the north end of Haida Gwaii, lot of lodges around here and some of my friends and neighbours work at them. I spent my life working at other kinds of camps around the coast, resource extraction, you know what I mean.
One very cold winter at a camp on Douglas Channel we were invaded by martens. The camp was on a barge with the floor raised up from the barge deck to provide room for the furnaces and heat ducting to the rooms. The martens found their way into the crawl space and then into the ducting when the furnaces were off. They liked those heat ducts until the furnace and blowers came on then they'd scamper down the ducts away from the furnace and pop up into individual rooms. Sitting on your bunk reading and a marten or two would jump out of the heat register and start runnning around the room. It was hilarious, for a while, then just annoying. We had half a dozen live traps flown in and in two days trapped fifteen of them and dropped them off across the bay. They didn't come back
Wow, sounds like you had quite the family of martens to deal with!! I’ve always wanted to visit the Haida Gwaii.
Thanks for sharing your story and for watching my video!
So happy to have found your site,your videos are the best!!..i am happily going thru your videos and enjoying every one..thanks for sharing and stay safe 🙂
Thank you John! I’m so happy you found me too!!
Oh my goodness Jenny - incredible edits! Thank you so much for posting this vlog. Spent a couple seasons at Good Hope and holy smokes is this ever nostalgic
Thank you so much, Jenny! When did you work here? Was Ted here at the time? Is there any part of the cannery you’d like to see?
I am amazed how much you covered in this video. I just didn't want it to end. It was so good. Wonderful, seeing you cook. It always makes me hungry. Great respect to the owner for Maintaining the lodge to such a high standard. Loved seeing the boat lift in operation.
Thank you Charlie. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. There was a lot happening this week and I tried to film as much as I could. Tony is an amazing man and has put a lot of money into fixing this place up. Thanks for everything!!
I really enjoyed that.
I’m so glad you did! Thank you!!
You are a credit to your team, especially the owners. Head Chef is only part of your contribution. The vibe of your professional quality videos will entice new guests to the Good Hope resort. Well done indeed Jenny.
Thank you so much, John. I appreciate that comment very much!! The lodge is private and the only guest we have are invited up and paid for by the owner.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. See you in the next one.
I’m so glad Marty got a humane discharge!! 🎉🍎
I also came to say that your figurine was from the Red Rose Tea Collection. I think they are called Wade Whimseys and the one you found is from their nursery rhyme series - it’s the Pied Piper. There was even a Pine Marten figurine!! 😂
Hope you feel better!!! Thanks for another lovely video Jenny. ♥️
Thank you so much for your comment. I do feel a lot better already.
That figuring was so cool. I really hope to find the pine Martin one. Haha
Thanks again
@@jenny_adrift Glad you’re feeling better Jenny ♥️
Unreal to stumble across your channel!! I spent 3 memorable seasons there, my first being in the dish pit for Bob and Judie under Salmon King Lodge, my second season I progressed to the dock and endured the change of ownership 😅, my third season I became the fish cutter and began guiding under the knowledge of some of the most amazing fisherman I have ever met... Tyler, Ted, Dwayne, Sneer, Salty Dog to name a few. Forever greatful for Tony's generosity and compassion....Gage you beauty!! great to see you on here too!! Have been cracking up at some of the memories that keep popping up 😂😂 so good!
Thanks heaps for posting the videos.. You've done a great job.
Tight lines,
Kiwi (residing in Northland, New Zealand now days
Wow! I’m so happy that my video reached you! That’s so cool that you experienced life at the lodge when it was commercial. I’ve wondered what it might be like.
Thank you for sharing your story! Ted and Dwayne are such great co -workers and I actually met Salty dog at a different job in Merritt. All great guys.
Thanks again and enjoy the beauty of NZ!
Another great production and glimpse into the daily routines at an old cannery / fishing lodge. Excellent editing, camera work and audio selections! 11 out of 10! ❤
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. I’m so happy that I get to share these experiences with you. You’re having a great time in the states 😘
The Hilton is 1000 times better than when I was there. I can smell the place through your videos. Good job on the editing, keep them coming. love it!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment. Yes you are so right about the Hilton. Ive heard stories of how it used to be. When the current owner bought it that was one of the first things he changed.
You got my heart and my attention !!! The most beautiful spot ever !!! Well for me !!!
You do a wonderful job !!! Bravo mi ladie !!! 👏🤘👌👍🫶✌️🐸
De Gatineau Québec Canada !!!
Thank you frog man!! I appreciate this comment so much! I love it up here so much and the staff I work with are like my family. It’s so great to love your job. Thank you so much for watching. Take care.
The cooks work is never done. Great staff. Everyone is smiling.
Wear a mask while you clean the mold. It may help. Stunning video series. Thanks for putting all the work into it. 👍👍👍😄
Thank you so much. I appreciate that!!!
I will definitely bring a mask up with me next year for when I open the cannery/ kitchen.
Thanks for another look at the beauty of this coast and the saved history that is Good Hope.
Thank you so much. It truly is like a museum up here.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a comment
Awww. I love that you left apples with the marten. I would not have done well with drowning it. I almost cried when I trapped and relocated a squirrel last year. lol.
Awww Vanessa! It is really tough dealing with wild animals. I’m sure the squirrel appreciated being relocated instead of killed though. Thanks for watching 💕
My step grandfather who is Songhees fished around Rivers Inlet during WW 2. His boat was Swan Point, a vessel ceased by the Canadian Gov’t from a Japanese Canadian family and then given to my grandfather for the war effort. I sometimes think of that family and their loses. There were loses for my grandfather too as he went to Residential School. None the less he must have had a remarkable time in Rivers Inlet visiting all the canaries along the way. Thank you for your videos. I look forward for more. Some day I hope to visit Rivers Inlet. Cheers Michael
Hi Michael. Thank you so much for sharing your story. What a life your grandfather must have lived. I really hope you get an opportunity to visit Rivera Inlet also. It’s one of the most beautiful places I ever been to and definitely the most majestic.
Thanks again! Take care
Thank you so much for the video. Beautiful rainy B.C. day. There is a certain calmness to this day. You are definitely getting settled in and i know you will do an awesome season.
Thanks Robin! I’m all nestled in now and it’s been so rainy. I love hanging in the kitchen making yummy smelling food and keeping warm listening to chill vibe music and watching the guys work outside in the rain.
Love the content. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. The facilities are pretty impressive.
I’m so glad you did too!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great video. Enjoy watching the repair of the boat lift. Always interesting to see skilled people using traditional equipment and ingenuity to complete heavy difficult tasks. Wow, so much work to do before the season even begins. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you so much, Norm! it is really cool. Watching the guys work on this project and you’re right it is a lot of work to do before the season even begins. We will have to have a few days of rest at some point. See you on the next video. Take care.
I want the winter watchman job!
It’s quite the job to be up here by yourself all winter! It takes a really special person to do that. Thank you for your comment. Take care.
This video showed up in my recommended list , well if this is indication you just got yourself a new subscriber, you were super busy , cleaning to get ready, shelving all the groceries to meal prep
And found time to search the beaches that looked like a character found in t bags years ago , i remember them from my childhood lol. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos
Thank you so much it really is a lot of work not only keeping up on my full-time job but to film everything and edit videos in the evenings. But I truly enjoy editing and I know that my job here is something really special. I love sharing with other people. Thank you so much for your subscription. Welcome to my channel. I hope you enjoy more videos to come.
Just found your channel. Looking forward to more videos. FYI... the little statue you found looking for bottles in the bank is a "Red Rose Tea Figurine". Red Rose tea used to include a collectable figurine in each big box of tea. As a kid, I collected many of them. And that troublemaking (but cute!) marten has a serious sweet tooth! The same one can be live trapped over and over again with pastries (proven in a Glacier National Park study). I know that is not your goal... prefer once and done! But a little bit of info for future reference. Thanks again for posting the videos and sharing your unique lifestyle with all of us.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I’ll definitely put a pastry in the trap next time. But yes, we don’t want the same one coming back over and over again. That little figuring that comes in the Tea box is so cute. Apparently there’s a pine Marten figuring which I would love to find. Thanks again and take care.
This vid popped up in my recommended about a couple of weeks ago. Instantly hooked on your channel - so good! As I watched more of your Good Hope vids, the hook was set deeper and deeper!
Edmontonian here since the early 80's (recognized the Allard name right away!), though have lived many years in the BC interior & the Island - and miss it much. You're living & working in the areas of BC I haven't been to - yet wish I had.
Have to admit I spent a fair bit of time Googling much more about the lodge, the Inlet, Ted, and the hatcheries. And the story of Good Hope Cannery & Tony's involvement with salmon conservation & hatcheries is just incredible. Jenny, you're doing a fantastic job of showing off this epic former Cannery now private lodge - the Inlet, and the beautiful BC coast. You have such a massive and beautiful palate to draw from to create stories of lodge life and the surrounding environs. Huge kudos! Now looking forward to every new vid. You might even want to consider starting a Patreon account - or even a Buy Me a Coffee. Trevor
Wow! What a sweet comment! Thank you so much!!!
I am also a former Edmontonian. I went to culinary school at NAIT and have always loved BC. My friends and partner have brought me to so many amazing places that I wouldn’t have seen on my own so I’m very grateful to them.
I hope you get the chance to see more of BC but if not then I’ll just keep sharing my adventures with you!!
It makes me so happy to hear you are enjoying my videos, honestly it makes me feel so good. Life and the people up here is pretty unreal so I needed to start sharing it with people.
Thanks again for your support and I’ll look into a patreon account.
Thanks again!!
@@jenny_adrift Am very, very familiar with Kamloops, Chase, and environs. While I've been through 100 & 108, I didn't venture over to see Sheridan Lake. (I think I've caught up on your vids!) And while I know the east coast of Vancouver Island very well, to mid-island, I never ventured over to the BC coast, north of Van. Thus, your vids are truly eye-opening on what I've been missing! All the best!
I worked at a log camp just one inlet down from you at Boswell Inlet, Security Bay, we had a bunch of martins make a mess under the bunk houses , they were all trapped and taken way out to the back end of the claim to never return.
Very good coverage of what's going on, got me hooked now to see more.
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s such a beautiful area though I havnt been in Boswell inlet yet. The martens definitely leave a big mess. I’m happy to hear so many people relocate instead of killing. This is their home too.
That old sea plane ✈️ wow
Right?! isn’t it so cool?
Flown inone many times
Great videos, thanks for making them! I used to fly the Goose into Good Hope 20 years ago so it was nice to see “IOL” at the end of the video. A very challenging place to land and take off with a strong southeast wind. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers.
That’s interesting to know that it’s a difficult place to land. It makes sense now. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you so much for watching!! See you on the next video!!
Your channel was recommended to me today and I am so glad it was. Looking forward to spending the summer with you! Good to see channels from our beautiful BC
That’s so awesome welcome aboard. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I’ll be sharing videos all summer.
Thanks again, take care !!
That little figurine that you found behind the cannery is from red rose tea. I used to give out ceramic figurines with a box of red Rose Tea
Very cool! Thanks for the info!!
Thanks Jenny for the update. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the season. Would be a wonderful place to visit and do some serious fishing. Take care
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! It is a wonderful area to visit and to fish. This lodge is private however but there are a few in the inlet that you could visit if you wanted.
Ah, the historical cannery awakens for another season. Another fine video - great editing, thanks for posting. Good to see a few familiar faces there. (I can see John's house from my living room) Shared this with a friend who spent much of her childhood in Rivers Inlet. Looking forward to more "Lodge Life" content.
What a beautiful area you live in!! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Thank you so much for your comment!
Just found your channel and have enjoyed the last few vids. What a neat profession and incredible work life balance. Life sure is different up there very cool to see. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! The reason I started filming and creating these videos last year was exactly for that reason. What an incredibly cool place I work at. Great people and beautiful surroundings.
Thanks for leaving a comment!! Take care!
@@jenny_adrift thanks for the reply. I shared some of your vids from last summer with my wife who's a sales rep for a food broker. She was blowing up about your new fancy oven (the one that beeped a lot). We're absolutely hooked am glad to hit the sub button! I personally enjoy the team aspect of the vids and how supportive you are of each other. I can feel the love and trust among the staff, well played. Hope ya have a great summer season and thanks for being our new favorite YT channel!
Wow thats a nice kitchen, good job!
I rode in that seaplane to a small floating scuba resort in the area, a GREAT time. Really enjoyed the vid.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is really cool to fly on those planes. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much!
So glad I stumbled by your channel. It will be interesting to follow along.
Worked up there many years, mainly down in Chemahat.
Great to see John out there doing his thing. Cheers from Sointula.
Thank you so much, Clayton. I appreciate you sharing your story! Jon is such a great guy to work with. He is such a kind man.
Thanks again and take care !
Thank you Honest, heartfelt and relaxing videos.
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you!!!!
Catching up on your videos while planting
Aw that’s so nice! I hope you enjoy the videos and good luck on your planting!
Once again, a great video!! Thanks Jenny! I love seeing where you guys spend so much time. Also, that little figurine… when I was little they used to put little figurines like that inside boxes of tea… I remember my Grannie having a bunch… so maybe that’s where it came from! 🤷♀️
Hi Lois! Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I’m so happy to share this all with you any way I can. I’m excited to be seeing Chelsey soon!
You’re right about the tea box. Other people have commented saying it used to come in boxes of red rose tea. There’s a pine marten figuring that I’d love to find here haha
Take care!
You are doing a remarkable job telling a story of a place that 99.9% of the people on this planet will never experience.
Given enough time your channel will do just fine!
Well done.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I’ve been working really hard to share the stories that go on up here. I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying it. Take care.
I agree 💯%
☺️Thank you @@Adam-yp1cc
@@jenny_adrift your most welcome miss
PS, you could never harm such a cute and beautiful animal, here in Ontario, some take them as Pets but you must receive them young as kits....at our Lodge, they come around and beg for scraps just like the Chipmunks...last year I seen a Chipmunk catch, kill, and cut a garter snake in two and eat it...never knew chipmunks were omnivores...Pine Marten''s are deep in Native Lore, it was their home before the Lodge, take him across to the island, if he comes back, take him to an island further away...just look at those cute little eyes..,you will do the right thing...they are powerful animals...once I was dragging a deer out of the bush with my Dad and we had a tug of war with this Pine Marten who was convinced he was bringing the deer home for dinner...powerful little bugger, nervy and cute as hell...be kind and release away from the Lodge and I doubt you will see him again...Namaste
Hello again, you are so right about the Marten. It is not only cute but a very powerful animal. I’m just trying to imagine it thinking it could drag a whole deer back to its den ha ha. we release the Martin and it still has not returned, so I’m sure it’s made a home on the island. Thank you for such a lovely comment.
A stunning area. We visit Vancouver every few years and never knew of this area. Will be in the next trip. Thankyou so much for the videos.
Thanks! Excellent videos.
Wow, thank you so much for leaving a super thanks I truly appreciate you!!!!
Wow, the old Goose, C-FIOL, flew for MacMillan Bloedel for many years. It was called “Dryad”.
Such a cool old plane!
Great job love the videos please keep them coming!
Thanks Craig! I plan on sharing many videos with you this summer. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Nice editing. Thank you for your video.
Thank you so much for watching!!
This is the second vid I've watched since randomly finding your channel only this morning. Gotta say, you're really good at this and I'm enjoying the edits and music. Nice work.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate this comment. It’s really nice to know that people are enjoying the work that I do up here both in the kitchen and editing in my room at night more videos to come soon. Thanks again. Take care.
Life is good!! Great job on filming and editing.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Welcome back 👍👍
Thanks John! It’s great to be back!
Another well done video, that's a lot of hard work but a very beautiful spot. Take care
Thank you Brad! I appreciate that so much!! See you on the next video!
What a great place to work, nice vid
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the comment and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos!
That was fun,! Thanks for sharing 🚁🏄♂️💪
Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Take care!
What an absolutely beautiful place, the coast is always the best place.
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
As always a well thought out and greatly presented video. Thank you for efforts you go to for these great videos.
Thank you so much, Teresa. I appreciate you!!
Wow, what an amazing place, I’m jealous!
Thanks Peter! It is an amazing place to spend the summer!! Thanks for watching!!
Great video, I grew up in Smith Inlet just south of Rivers Inlet, great to see some of the places that I visited when I was young. Keep on making these awesome videos and I will share them.
Thank you so much, Ken. I begin making these videos last year after working here for six years. It’s such a special area that I think is important to share with people. I’m glad you’re enjoying them. Thank you so much for your support.
Love it❤ watching all the older videos! I’m hooked lol (Kansas USA 60/67)
That’s so awesome thank you so much for letting me know you’re enjoying my videos from Kansas! More to come soon! Take care
I like to fish on my boat on the Columbia River in Oregon, and Nelalem River at the Oregon coast. That is a nice place and operation you got there
I’ve been enjoying your video’s. I’ve fished Rivers Inlet for years and then was lucky enough to work at a lodge for 8 yrs. It is such a beautiful place with boundless nature. I do truly miss the inlet.
Thank you for watching and I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the video! It is truly a magical place!
Wow , really cool vid , look forward to to following the journey 👍
Thank you so much. I appreciate that and I look forward to sharing more videos with you soon.
I would love to be a cook at such a gorgeous remote place, I’m envious. Never met a person that didn’t like my Southern country cooking ❤️
Excellent videography, along with very good story telling, well done.
Thank you so much, Richard. I truly appreciate this comment. more videos to come, take care.
Great visuals… just imagine how great it will be when we get SMELLS!
Cedar, salt water and moss. It would be lovely to be able to share the smells too!
Hi Jenny
Enjoyed this first video,
Thank you Luis!! Just posted a new one! Hope you can check it out!
Thanks from Southern Ontario Jenny for sharing your life with us all...as a lifetime outdoorsman I have longed to visit the Inside Channel. and you have brought a little vision of what life would be like in your area of Paradise at GHC, you are a kind soul and I am sure every bit of your kindness is shared with every meal you prepare for your guests...Namaste!
Wow thank you! What a kind and lovely comment! I’m happy to be sharing my experiences with you and so many people that are curious about life on the West Coast. I’m originally from Alberta, so this is all very new to me as well. I hope you get the chance to visit rivers Inlet someday thank you so much for watching. Take care.
Thanks for the vid Jenny great work. Can’t wait to get back to the Central Coast this summer. 🎣
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Have fun fishing this season what area do you visit?
Start out of Kitimat fishing many areas all the way down to Hakai and at times over to Rivers if I hear the fishing is decent. 🐟
Just discovered your channel..the videos are really well done..never heard of the cannery you work at..I very much want to see it..I'm in surrey so it's a not too far commute for me..look forward to more videos..have a great day! 😁👍
Thank you so much. I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos and learning about Good Hope Cannery. At the moment it is a private lodge so the only guests that come up are invited by the owner, but there are a couple other beautiful lodges nearby that you could visit.
Thanks again for watching and take care !
I think the little figurine you found outside is from a red rose tea box from years ago. My mom collected them. I think.
That’s so cool! Thanks for the info! Companies used to send cool little things in their boxes. I’m going to put it up with the teas.
I concur
I was thinking the same thing I remember them lined up on a shelf in my grandmother's kitchen.
So cute! I wonder if I’ll find another one some day. Maybe the whole collection is under the dirt out there. Slowly getting washed up in the winter
absolutely it is. when i was a kid in the 80's we had a ton of those little figurines. they had a series of nursery rhyme figurines that i adored. it warmed my heart to see her find one!❤️
Geez, this reminds me of when I was 17. About 31 years ago, we harvested trees logged and had a dry land sort at Rivers Inlet. The fishing lodge across from our sort used to follow our log booms and catch huge salmon.
That’s so cool thank you for sharing your story about your time in Rivers Inlet.
Good morning
I just stumbled across your channel and I am soo looking forward to following you. I grew up in Gros Morne National Park in NL, so there are many similarities.
Enjoy
Good morning thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate appreciate it. I haven’t visited Newfoundland before, but I really hope I can someday.
I appreciate the job you do.my loving wife did the same job at one of our local hospitals for 43 yrs.the figurine you found might be from red rose tea back in the day ❤😊
Wow, 43 years at one job that’s amazing! I believe you’re right about the figurine. Someone else had commented that it was from red Rose tea. Such a cool find. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
What a nice tour of the interior that I remember so well thanks to the fire alarm. Jenny I appreciate everything and would love to see more cooking content, if you feel like it. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I would love to share more cooking but when I’m cooking, I’m not filming. It’s difficult for me to do both, but I will try to get a few more cooking scenes filmed.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. Take care.
What a pleasant video to watch, I am so glad to that your video popped up on my watch list. I have binged watched so many of your recent videos, they are informative and relaxing at the same time. I love the laid back style, with nice tunes and beautiful scenery, vey chill. Don't change a thing.
Thank you so much. I appreciate this comment very very much. The more people are watching the more negative comments. I’m getting about certain things like the music, but I am keeping true to how I like to edit and I’m happy to hear people are enjoying it. I’m glad you found this. Thanks again. Take care.
Wow, that's Cool you still can find those little blue Opium vials in back of the cannery. I found some back in 1975 when I worked there. as a Guide/Sous-Chef.
Did you work at Good Hope? Too cool.
Yes we are still finding opium bottles there. It’s so interesting
On the Martin: Before releasing it, find out how it got into the building and close up the entry point! Find an island nearby to release it. And keep looking for other varmints, there might be others. I just subscribed to your channel yesterday and you responded to my comment by mentioning this post of yours. It's got a great vibe. I like how you edit, and like how you don't over-use the music (the music is all good choices as well!). Best of luck. Looking forward to exploring your archive and watching future episodes. Cheers!
We found where it got in and we should be marten free in the Hilton from now on. Thank you so much on the nice compliments on my work. I feel I’ve lived up a bit from last year. Thank you for your comment!!
I'm happy you didn't kill the little fella. I'm sure he'll have a good life on that island. Awesome video thx for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m happy the guys decided not to kill it either!!
Take care!
Whoa! This channel is to good!
Thank you so much!!!
Hello from Edmonton! Just came across your channel and watched your last three episodes, great stuff. I really appreciate the pacing of your editing, as well you give the viewer the opportunity to take in scenery and follow along with a unique look at what it’s like to be a chef at a lodge. I look forward to following your story in the coming season. All the best.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate this comment. I’m an Edmonton girl myself. Allard Way is actually named after the lodge owners father.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thank you again and take care.
Excellent video, you are a wonderful story teller and you have a keen eye for both capturing it on film and then picking it back out of the pile. Enjoy interacting with your viewers now because unless I miss my guess by the end of summer your channel will be too big to keep up with it and you will no longer be expected too. Glad i'm in the habit of watching small channel youtube, sometimes it pays off::-)
Wow thank you for this generous comment. I do enjoy hearing people story’s and comments but there are so many. If my channel keeps growing I’m afraid you’re right about not being able to keep up with them all. I’m working a full time job 7 days a week and moving clips onto my external hard drive and editing on breaks and after work. Then also going through and replying to comments. It is a lot. I am so thankful to be able to share my life up here with everyone and I hope your guess is correct. Thank you so much again!! Take care
man is that a beautiful place to work
It sure is a beautiful place to work. We say it every day. We’re so lucky to be up here. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.
If you keep these videos up I’m sure you gonna blow up doing a great job definitely love watching these don’t stop Music and everything is beautiful keep the good work up i’m definitely going to follow along on your adventure
Thank you so much, Josh. I truly appreciate that. I’m going to work hard at capturing all the moments here and sharing them with you. Thanks for watching and thanks for the lovely comment.
Again, what a relaxing and interesting watch on life up north island. This is new to me, is this a fishing lodge? Looks beautiful! Can't wait to see more. Liked and subbed.
Thank you for your subscription. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. I’m happy to share them. Good Hope Cannery used to be a sport fishing lodge and is now a private home. It’s also part museum haha.
Thanks again more videos coming soon soon
Reminds me of my days cooking in logging camps.
How long did you cook on logging camps? Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.
@@jenny_adrift High Jenny, I ran a relief cook service for several years. If a camp had a cook that failed to return to camp they could call me to go in and cover on short notice until things got straightened out. I also am an institutional cook. Certified.
Thanks Jenny, another great one!
Cant avoid the west coast mold spores and other airborne contaminants on unoccupied building(s). It's not cold enough to stop the growth and just warm enough to keep them present. Thankfully once you open up and air starts moving through the Lodge Im sure you've noticed it diminishes pretty quick. We used to have a cabin on the Island and went through the exact same thing when opening it every year.
Im sorry but the little varmint would have been put down in my world. Dropped the trap straight into the drink and bloop bloop bloop. Having a way to get him to an island is a decent choice though. Even if you had taken him a long ways away he would find his way back. Those are nasty and vicious little creatures.
Is the boat lift to store the fleet there in the winter instead of taking the boats to Vancouver? Would be a great idea if it is.
Thanks again for the videos. I enjoy them so much. Cheers...
Thank you for your comment!! My sinuses are much better now! Where abouts was your cabin?
We’ve caught another Martin but this time I don’t think it will be as lucky as the last. They are very vicious but they’ve been able to control the mouse population in a big way. But I understand why people don’t want them around also.
The boat lift is getting redone because some of the wood was getting soft. We only store 2 boats in the cannery over the winter, the other 8 are taken both to Bella Bella and down to Vancouver so the owner can use them while he’s there.
Thanks again for the comment!! Take care
I just joined it looks interesting so far, keep it going
Thank you so much. I just posted a new video today. I hope you’re able to watch it. Thank you for leaving a comment. Take care.
That's a little figurine from red rose tea box....the still put them in red rose tea....btw red rose tea bags are the best for ice tea sun tea.... a viewer from Montana
Thank you so much for leaving this comment. Hello from British Columbia Canada. Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. Those figurines are so cool. Another viewer had mentioned they come in red rose tea boxes back in the day. Apparently there’s a pine marten figuring that I would love to find ha ha
Love love love your experience🫶🏼
Thank you!!!! I’m so happy to share it with you
Hehe good luck Marty in next life, whatever form you come back to life, don't get inside a trap or you will have a few more yummy apples for your last journey
Sounds like you might have a short somewhere causing the alarm to go off. Probably in the attic. Small animals sometimes chew on wires.
Yes I believe you’re right. It hasn’t happened since so that’s good!
Thankyou 😊
It’s my pleasure thank you so much for watching, Robert!!
You had asked for ideas of what to do about those pesky martens? Well, if you get enough of them - how 'bout turning them into a nice warm coat???!!!
(Just kidding!! Great video - excellent scenes and editing...)
Ha ha it’s not out of the question. I could definitely use a nice warm coat up here. Thanks so much for leaving in comment. I hope you’re enjoying the videos.
Let the Mighty Martin go.
Free Marty!!
I just discovered your videos and they are great!! In Pat Ardley's book Grizzlies, Gales and Giant Salmon they mention frequently the Cannery and John Salo. The Cannery looks like a great Resort and set up first class. Is the Rivers Inlet Fishing Lodge that Pat and George have still running and how is the fishing from the Cannery? They also mention a submerged jail that people dive to look at. Those Grumman Goose's are a real character plane...they would be great to have a flight in one. Take care and I look forward to viewing more of your videos!!
Thank you so much! I should find this book to add to our collection here at the cannery. I’m not sure about Rivers Inlet Lodge. I do know there was a River Inlet Resort that has been disassembled and no longer exists.
The fishing up here is great, weather we head to in head of the inlet or near the mouth.
I’m very curious about the submerged jail as Tony and his sons do take some diving trips in the area.
The goose planes are so cool and I feel very grateful to be able to experience them first hand. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to write this comment.
Take care!
@@jenny_adrift Thanks for the quick reply!! This book is one of the best I have read and well worth getting. I got mine I believe on Amazon. I| am sure if you start reading you won't be able to put the book down LOL!!
hello John Salo Terry and l fished on my seiner Mary Todd from '85 to '91 sorry to hear of his passing...
I’m sorry to hear that!
Thank you for watching the video I hope you enjoyed it!
@@jenny_adrift l did enjoy it and a couple of others as well sub'd....looking fwd to the summer vids...😘
Thank you Drew!
I just subscribed I'm loving your channel 😍, I noticed you kept getting sick your not um...in a family way are ya? Any ways it seems like you have the most awesome job ever. Can't wait to see more of your videos 😍💐
Haha thanks for asking, no family on the way!
Regarding the Martin, how bout relocating it to another area on the coast around the corner from where the cannery is. It will make a living there as it's from the wilderness. It won't be able to find it's way back. Maybe put some kind of band around it's ankle so if you see a martin again, you'll know if it's the same one. Cool?
That’s a great idea! I like the thought of the band on its leg.
The island we took this marten to is close by so I’m sure it’s doing well. Thanks for your comment!
@@jenny_adrift Oh, good work, so that is what you ended up doing, good on ya! Let the little rascal do it's thing, just somewhere else! We love your videos so keep 'em coming.
@@driver1836 thank you so much!!
@@jenny_adrift You bet, and keep up the good work Jenny, and the videos, they're awesome.
Great video! I appreciate you being real.. not everything in life is cupcakes and coffee like most YT videos; mold, varmints and sinus are real life.. btw, a couple drops of Oil of Oregano under your tounge couple times a day will do wonders for sinus infection/congestion. Mold has given me a sinus infection so its possible.
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate the advice with the oregano oil. I remember the first time I had it, I was not expecting it to be so… spicy! Haha
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!! Thanks again!
@@jenny_adrift just a drop or two UNDER the tongue were there aren't so many taste buds cause it is strong.
I will do that next time for sure!
I just caught your channel this morning and I’m impressed? I subscribed as your editing is very good and you seem to be a natural at videoing. Good on you girl!!
A question, is flying out to Rivers inlet(single otter) too expensive?
Hi Patrick! Thank you so much for this lovely comment. Welcome to my channel, it’s great to have you here! We took the boats just because they needed to come up for the season anyways. Staff will be flying in and out for the rest of the year which is paid for by the owner.
Thanks for your comment!
Aloha Jenny! Wife and I love your vlogs…creatively produced and quite entertaining! As fellow PNW’rs, we would love to visit the lodge. How does one go about doing that? Mahalo Nui…🤙
Thank you so much! I hate lovely comment. I’m so glad to hear that you and your wife enjoy my videos!! Good Hope Cannery is a private lodge so guests are invited up by the owner. There are other lodges nearby that you could visit, one being Duncanby Lodge. There’s also Legacy lodge and Black Gold Lodge. I hope that helps! Take care!
Has anyone ever told you that you bear a remarkable resemblance to singer/songwriter Jewel? Enjoyed the video. New sub from Florida. 😊
Wow, thank you! Nobody has ever mentioned that before but what a great compliment!
i bit of caution releasing critters on islands! For example, bird nesting can be destroyed by introductions to Islands.
Thank you for that bit of info. I never thought about the birds. We will have to rethink the island living. Take care and thanks for watching!
awwww I miss Good Hope!!! I would LOVE to come visit or work for a summer again, chica!!! (hugs)) This is ClaudiaLittleFawn...Ted knows lol Ekosi Creator All My Relations A'HO
Thank you! I will pass the message along to Ted!
until you get rid of the mold, def wear a high quality respirator.
Yes, good call the mould is all gone and I’m feeling much better. Thank you so much.
