The area that your property is just wow love your land wish I could live out my days on such a place . So happy that you have found such a place and life ❤
There is no better way to learn your property than by living on and working the land. The small projects you're accomplishing over the winter will pay dividends for your spring/summer plans. That really is a million dollar view and I bet the stars on a clear night are mesmerizing.
Unbelievable! 🌌
That Tree by the outhouse is very Valuable. Do not cut it up for firewood. Can make various things out of the burls.
I'm totally enchanted with your videos and your breathtaking homestead! You and Dobby recharge my humanity. Thanks!
Take care, and drink in all the blessings you are receiving. Priceless!!!
Enjoying your energy. You seem to have accomplished a lot this winter. I also like that you show us the scenery while you are pointing to the areas you are talking about. We really get to see where you are. So many others will show a view but they are still in the middle of it blocking the view! Will they ever learn?
You should do a timelapse of all your Sittin Tree footage.
Love watching what you're doing! Very inspirational. Wishing you and Dobby all the best from the UK.
One thing for sure is, you'll never have to join a gym! You get more exercise in an hour than any of us spending a few hours in a gym!! I absolutely love the creek. I love the 'song' listening to it travel. So relaxing. Stay safe, give Dobby a hug from all of us and never forget you are remarkable, inspiring, and a wonderful dad to Dobby.
😊🙏❤️🐾
Wonderful video and enjoyed seeing you…makes me so happy! You dun good ! Good to have you back doing videos. You’re going to be so strong after this winter after all the log moving etc… you will have to be careful when you close the door on the van….lol 😂😂
Tyler----you are truly an inspiration. The plans you have for your property are what will
drive you to succeed. Your work ethic is admirable and your little piece of heaven is coming
along so well. Congratulations!
As I was watching you lug all those stones I was thinking “I hope he gets himself a pizza after all that” so I was so happy at the end 😂
Simply wishing you and Dobby all the best…. Praying for your peace, comfort, healing, endurance and good health. Stay safe and please keep sharing your videos with us. You and Dobby are PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!
I LOVED READING COMMENTS, SO MANY GOOD TIPS, LOADED W ENCOURAGEMENT!! WHAT A GIFT FOR ALLNOUR LIVES TO SEE FOLKS LIKE YOU ENJOYING YOUR CABIN & SURROUNDING NATURE SUPPLYING YOUR NEEDS. LOTS OF WORK, BUT SATISFYING!!❤😂
Straw bales make outstanding insulation under the house. When kept dry, they basically last forever! They're lightweight too, if you have a proper all terrain cart or sled. Once placed under the house you can add salvaged metal roofing to finish the breezeway and protect the straw from wind, snow and rain.
Always great to hear the enthusiasm in your voice Tyler. You've got this!
But straw bales can also be attractive to rodents.
@@derekread8220+ highly flammable
Can the bales be sealed with plaster or ??? to prevent rodent infestation and still keep their insulation value?
Fire hazard not good idea
Keep the garden beds close to the house and put a deer fence around them. Once the deer discover your veggies, all will be there’s. We have 2 acres behind deer fence to save the garden and small fruit and young fruit trees, 100 trees under 5 years old, and the fence has made all the difference.
A cheap alternative for fencing around the garden is a woven willow or other type of flexible wood branches. It worked for early colonists.
dude you and dobby got the perfect spot dude. if its your property you can put in concrete slabs and a gate so no more people come through
So happy to see you and Dobby again!!
Thanks for having way more talking and live background sounds and almost no elevator music this time, so much better.
You will have to build a high fence around the garden to keep the wild life out you sure have lots of work looks like beautiful property
Hoping you two are ok…looking forward to your next video ✌️🇦🇺🤗
Great place for a garden as long as you have good water access. You will probably need a dear fence around the whole area. Even in suburban Calgary, deer are an issue.
Spring is in your step,in the air and lifting you into a world of new possibilities ...soon to be realities. All the best.
I’m a seventy six YO female that gets all my heating firewood during the cooler months for the following year. During the warmer months there is the garden and lots of canning….maybe have two years of food on hand.
would be nice if you had an ATV with a small trailer for many things getting around property as you clear paths and for hauling supplies and an access road to get your vehicle as close to property as you can.
If you want the snow to melt faster just take your shovel and chop slices into the snow layer. If you just wait for it to melt the top layer forms a crust of protection which blocks the sunlight/rain from reaching the more vulnerable lower layers. Slicing down into the snow allows rain and sunlight to penetrate down to the lower layers and melt it faster. My parents taught me that one, it's how they got the snow banks to melt faster around their property when I was growing up. Great to see you back making videos again. ~Kevin
Amazing scenery from your front porch! Perfect place for a morning coffee!
Rice (not white rice) and lentils used together make a protein that would further stretch your dollars and both keep well as long as you use mouse-proof containers.
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀awesome Tyler i use to live like that on the west coast in BC,Canadawhen i was in my 20s built quite a few cabins..now im in my 60th yr and i miss it so much..i dream of buying land in the wilderness and building another cabin..2-3 bdrm this time
Good to see the snow moving out and Spring moving in. Sounds like you have a solid plan...Stay safe and thank you for sharing.
Awesome to see you rocking a Bure jersey! Cabin is looking great.
I am so happy you are moving forward, life throws us some curve balls but you and Dobby are surviving ! Great views, and am looking forward to what you are doing with the place. Love all the apple trees! Keep the videos coming! Great place Tyier, I'm proud of you!
Are you burning mostly pine? Is so, you will have to clean your chimney out regularly as the pine soot will build up in the chimney.
On your next food run, buy beans, any kind you like and any other fruit or vegetable that you like, and keep the seeds, and try to get them growing in your garden. I use the word try, because gardening looks so easy, but it turns out to be much harder than it looks.
It helps to start seed beds indoors, about 3 to 4 weeks before you can transplant outdoors. It looks like you are a garden 5 or 6 Zone area. Stay warm, stay safe, take care of Dobby, I can't wait to see what you plant in your garden in the Spring. I had real good luck with butternut squash, about 60 seeds yielded me about 60 pounds of squash the first year I planted it, and it keeps without refrigeration. Thank you for sharing, have a good week!
P.s. the closer your garden is to your cabin, the more time you will spend in it! I like it being on the same level as your cabin…🙏🏼
Totally agree. Also, don’t try too much too quickly. Gardening is a lot of work, especially when you first start. Plant a small to medium area and work it first. Hugelkulture is a neat way to garden in new areas when you have lots of sticks and brush.
OMW well done on all the log hauling, wood chopping .. certainly keeps you fit. Having a wash in the creek is amazing, so good for your body. That creek is a life saver.
The old stove, as your garden is going to be near it, what about turning it into an outdoor kitchen/cooker, just a thought.
You’re doing a great job. 👏 😊
I am exhausted lol. Look into making a Ram pump to pump water up to your cabin.
You are so lucky to let nature embrace you!
🙏❤️
Lovely to see you both again. With your washing line sagging under the weight of the garments, take one of your thinner wooden poles (2-3 metres) and put a notch in the top then put it under the middle of the line and use it to lift the line. You can leave it lifting the line so your clothes get more air and they dry quicker.
You could not be any closer to God than residing in the arms of Mother Nature!!
Love seeing you both. I just put in six veggie beds bought a cox pippin apple to plant. Looking forward to seeing your plans come to life. Take care.
Damn, you are a hard worker!!
Pretty soon the apple trees will be in full bloom and your place will be even more beautiful! Spring will be amazing at your cabin! Hope you and Dobbie are doing good💗🐾💫
🙏❤️
Thanks for checking in! Glad all is ok!
Another awesome video. I love how much you are learning about your land through exploring & all your small contemplation / rest spots.
With the muddy areas, just wanted to suggest looking into native ground-cover & trees that you could plant / relocate from other areas of your property to help. They can act like nature’s sponges to take up excess water from the ground.
Your back good to see you again, have missed dobby
wow... lifting all those logs... unbelievable strength. :) well done.. home looking so great... consider building a greenhouse type structure on the level area near the house.. will be nice to sit there in cooler temps. and harvest some vegetables. Cheering you and Dobby on.. .God bless you...
Great solar spot it would be.
Glad you are back. Snow is beautiful but wishing for you lots of warm and sunny days.
SUPPLIES This is good that you just about have this winter under your belt, you can now start preparing double for next year in case it becomes far more severe
Congratulations on your accomplishments
thanks for taking us along on this journey!
🙏❤️
Fire starter Vaseline on cotton balls. Chaga tea from mushrooms on birch trees.
Pine needles are also good for tea. I think they have vit c, essential for getting through winter.
I've come to look forward to your videos. You make me slow down and enjoy the views. I especially was wowed by your drone work and how you were able to circle down to the ground. AMAZING!!! Happy to know you can take those cold dips and feel refreshed! Your summer plans sound wonderful! Where you are planning your garden beds will be perfect! All the sun you'll need! Tyler, I hope you and Dobby are doing very well and transitioning to the next season with gained confidence! It's a pleasure to share in your journey!
awesome wood processing production line idea" Spiffy Cool.
COME ALONG CABLE WINCH; If you're able to aquire a good sturdy one, try not to hook back to your cable, any wires on your cable that get bent, will significantly weaken the cable, try to use chains or tow straps to go around your trees, or whatever you're hooking to, you'll find a good quality "come along" will become a very veritable tool on the homestead
Tayler ,I look forward to your vlog it brings me peace of mind! What a wonderful life ! Your plans for the garden sound promising put it in the sunny spot!
Looking forward to your next video!!!
Property and view is amazing
Hi Tyler & Dobby! I have missed both of you. Watching your videos makes my heart smile! Your little fire area is awesome. It sounds like you have a lot of plans for your little spot of heaven. Make sure you plant some herbs for medicine and teas when you get your garden planned and planted. I'm anxious to see your dreams manifest itself. How very exciting it is! Sending you both love and blessings!
🙏❤️
You could use that steel box as a fire box to evaporate maple syrup, meat/fish smoker...😊
The broken power unit if the battery is still good you could take it apart and salvage the battery and hook it into the smaller unit this would give you a longer usage as the battery would increase run time! dig into you good unit and find the positive terminal and negative terminal and run wires out of your good unit and just hook up positive to positive and negative to negative. I would go on line and get a connecter terminal so you can separate the battery from the old unit to the working unit! When you charge your little unit when connected it will charge the extra battery!
Love all your ideas for your property. I wonder how the fishing is in your creek.
Awesome property!
you could do little hydro system on that stream free heat and electric then.
I love the old school Bure jersey!
I love the floki profile pic!
Glad you and Dobby are back!
Nice video. I think your future plans are exciting. What beautiful property!
🙏❤️
Love your method of chopping the wood, lining it up without having to bend and stop every time saves you time and effort. It's always better to use what you have in your hands as long as you can without having to stop.👍
The drone footage is really fun and I also love the music you put with all. Thanks for sharing your days and work. Blessings man.
🙏❤️
I know you were talking about cleaning up your streams so I thought I would pass this along to youth-cam.com/video/hglllrIG50U/w-d-xo.html as I thought perhaps it may be of interest to you. Sometimes tidying is not always the best way. Cheers, and much love to you man.@@tyleranddobby
You should put videos on from living in the cabin over the winter and with cooking !👍🏻
Good morning Tyler & Tobby. I just wanted to say hello & see how you're both doing. I've been thinking about Ya's so I just re-watched this episode. I know there's lot's to figure out there & many spring & summer projects ahead. I think it's an excellent idea to do your raised bed gardens on that large area atop the flat land just down from your cabin. Looks to get plenty of sunshine for growth. Just remember, your viewer's are here for you & we care about you. Just take one day at a time & you'll be surprised at all that you can accomplish. What you have done in less than a year on your land is simply incredible & you are one smart, strong & a very hard working young man! Take care & enjoy the sunshine today. (Its a beautiful sunny morning in Ontario.) ❤ /Elaine
Thank you so very much Tyler for liking my post. Means the WORLD to me. I TRULY have been thinking of you two & honestly worried bc you haven't sent out a video. Pls know we appreciate you sharing yr life with us & we genuinely CARE! Pls take care & sending much love & light to you both! Xoxo ❤😊💜 Much appreciation. Xoxo E 🙏
I'm so glad I subscribed way back when you started. I had forgotten about this channel and didn't recognise it in my sub box. You found such a beautiful property!
I can see why you like that area at the creek, it looks absolutely beautiful. I think it's great that you are exploring with the snow there as well, it gives you a much better understanding of your property in all the seasons. Going to be great getting a garden going, it looks like a really good spot that you've chosen, the sun is the biggest factor, then the level. 👍
Beautiful property
Soooo good to you and dobby glad all is well dear one we love you and enjoy all you do take xare always in our hearts and prayers ❤️❤️
Good to see you again
Yes spring coming!!!
That’s a million dollar view from your roof.
Nice to see you and Dobby again! To be young again, climbing trees to chop branches, carrying 3-4 massive logs while walking on snow shoes, a very hard worker. A cold dip in the stream, brrr! We have been using the birch bark for a few years now, instant fire starter! Thank you for another great video, may you and Dobby enjoy your day. 😊
Im not THAT young I promise 🕺
Cold dips are the best!
I appreciate the support so much 🙏❤️
Cement board is hard to beat for skirting. Also, I think most of us wish you would talk more. We love hearing what's going on and what you're thinking. I think it's likely healthy for you to not feel so alone but will also feel more and more natural the more you do it. You're doing a great job with the channel and we're all here for input or whatever you need to feel supported.
Grocery shopping on the property looks fun" 😊
Looking forward to your future endeavours. Be safe. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😊
Hi there Tyler & Dobby. New subscriber here & Thankfully found you just last wk when you posted!!! Spent the wk watching all your previous inspiring challenges at the cabin, tremendous work ethics & gratefulness to the outdoors & kind people. ❤ Thank you so very much for allowing us to follow along with you both on your journey. I must say, I am deeply grateful to you both! Tyler your video's are filmed& edited extremely well, & just beautiful to watch! They have helped me in my own daily journey, so Thank you. Please stay well & stay safe. Loved the 17:59 "Thank you" pat to the mighty birch tree for all your bark fire starters! Safe travels. ❤ Elaine
Oh wow, thank you so much! I appreciate you and I’m praying for your personal journey. Have a great day… just remember that you’re awesome 😊
🙏❤️
Wow good to see you back continue doing your thing, looking forward to many more vids
a ram pump would work in that creek to move water up to your cabin...glad your learning off grid winter cabin life...consider building a wood shed or lean to off the cabin...
You are an inspiration Tyler. Thanks for sharing your adventures mate.
Lots of plans which is good! Hope you can get out for supplies soon! Love your Vancouver Canucks jersey and hat! Go Canucks Go! From friends in BC! Keep positive - 👍great work!
Go Canucks Go!! Love it… i keep my phone on airplane mode 99 percent of the time, when I’m able to check the internet it’s to read all your comments and check Canucks news(big win last night!)
Appreciate it 🙏❤️
Grew up in Winnipeg but we’ve certainly changed our allegiance…guess we would cheer for the Jets IF the Canucks were eliminated in the playoffs 😬! So much snow on Cape Breton Island this winter…hard for you to navigate!
Life is back to normal, you are back! Fooling around with TH-cam tonight and I saw your title. I thought no way, click and there you were. Nice to see the cabin with Dobby keeping warm on his chair or is that your chair? I don't blame him wanting to be wrapped up being warm. I do the same for my dog Molly. I have Blueberry bushes in my yard. I have not had a blueberry since I planted them 6+ years ago. The birds and squirrels get them before me. I have 5 plants and I should put in 5 more if I want a pie. It takes a lot of plants to make one pie. If you fence in your garden plan on 12 ft fencing because of the deer.
If that stove is cast iron take a grinding wheel to it. Clean it up n make an outside kitchen so you don't heat your house up in the summertime. You could build a shelter over top for shade/rain proof area too.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Comments about the garden: the layout will really depend upon the site, what you want to grow and the orientation to the sun. Research the difference between an east-west orientation and a north-south orientation. Pluses and minuses to both. You need to know how the sun tracks over the site so you don’t cast shade on sun- loving plants with taller plants. Start with a manageable size this year, and plan the layout with room for expansion. Design the beds so you can reach into them from all four sides without straining your back. Also, plan an area for compost piles or bins because you have a lot of organic matter on site that you can put to good use in a garden. Pay attention to the prevailing wind patterns on the site. You may want to site it so the nearby trees act as a windbreak.
One of your biggest concerns in designing the garden will be keeping out the wildlife, especially the deer since they are attracted to the apple trees. That’s why I wouldn’t site the garden with the apple tree in the center. An open invitation. You may want to consider either an 8 foot deer fence around the garden or placing the beds inside a screen-link fenced chicken coop. You can order kits. Just one deer will wipe out a garden in one night.
I suggest poking around Facebook for local gardening groups, small farm and homestead groups. You can probably ask questions and get answers specific to your area. Also check to see if the province has any kind of department or office for agricultural services. They could be a source of information for gardening, controlling wildlife, pests, harvesting, and homestead products.
What an exciting adventure you are on!
Your root cellar should be on the north side of your property and kept out of the sun as much as possible , as you have found you need to build a large woodshed for storing your firewood and keeping it dry , you should look at building a ram pump for running water for the cabin and using to water your gardens , just google ram pumps , no power required to run , I have build many different designs myself , keep on keeping on !
Excellent ideas and great advice. He really needs both especially to get through winter.
Good morning Tyler & Dobby. Just wanted to wish you a Happy Monday & let you know we're thinking of you both & hope that you're doing well. Its a beautiful, warm, 🌞 day here in Ontario. Much ❤ and light being sent your way. 😊 /Elaine
Having your garden on the high ground next to the cabin is a good idea. I don't know your specific climate, but in northern areas air drainage is important to have the longest possible growing season between frosts. Low areas collect cold air on clear nights and can have a local frost that will damage certain frost sensitive vegetable plants like tomatoes and squash.😚🍅🥒
🙏❤️
So happy to see your long-term plans for the property. What an adventure!
great vid…..so fine to see you again. I admire your strength, and endurance….truly stellar. Also, thx for the drone tip….hugely helpful, Rob
Great to see you and Dobby... That snow is amazing.. Your doing great.. Such a amazing place the views I get lost in your videos tranquility and peace good for the soul... Keep safe hugs to Dobby 🙏
Hey Tyler and Dobby.. Hope you both are doing OK...
Ringer, washing machine
So glad you are back!!. Winter is a hard go here, u r truly inspirational Tyler!
Tyler, you’ve made my day. Great work!
🙏❤️
Living one full year on your property and learning the lay of the land is so important, it is like getting to know the foundation of your future, what can, what cannot, where to do this, do that.
You are on the right way!
I'm so happy to see you are planning and make this your own!
You boys, hang in there! 😃👊
