- Welcome back to Lodge Life!
A vlog series based in Rivers Inlet, British Columbia, Canada about my life here as the chef at Good Hope Cannery, a private Wilderness/Fishing Lodge.
These past couple weeks have been productive for everyone. More staff are arriving and some returning from days off. There's plenty to keep us busy all day but we are also finding time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We've heard some whales in the distance but I havnt spotted any yet.
Update on the marten: We finally caught our last kitchen dweller and none have been in the Hilton for weeks now. We have now started catching mice and wondering if the marten removal directly affected the sudden increase.
All my new purchases arrived in the mail and I unboxed them all with Eve and Chelsey. It's so nice having other girls up here who I have so much in common with. It's good to have a mix, my first month up here was just 6 guys and it was fine... they are all very good guys but I missed my female companionship.
Im sorry to all the Canucks fans.. that's all I have to say about that.
go oilers
Tony and another new staff member will be arriving in just a few days and these days are flying by! Soon enough I'll be taking my 3 weeks off!
Thank you all so much for watching and supporting this channel. I appreciate you all so much!
Take care until next time!

A unique local meal. Interesting, seeing the whole process from cleaning to grilling. Lots of prep time for that one. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Kelly! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and for watching my video!! The octopus was a lot more work than I expected! Take care!
I spent a summer up there in 1986 on a gillnetter ( from the lower-mainland BC ) Dawsons Landing 5 buck a pound bacon back then . Saw your lodge & our net got snagged just off Bull Island as we got the horns . The place touches you deep inside & the feeling never goes away & it is hard to explain to those who have never been there .
It’s so true it is hard to explain the feeling of being up here. Sounds like you have some great memories. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you so much for watching my video!
@@jenny_adrift You are welcome - I just watched the last one with the First Nations stuff - I went up there with a First Nations buddy from the Kwantlen Band in Fort Langley .
Ok, another great video thank you. I saw my old boat (sold it to Rob) at the far right end of the dock as you were coming in. It spent a few years between Cape Caution & Klemtu. I'm amazed at how luxurious lodges have become over the years! Love how Good Hope has incorporated so much local history within. Cheers
Oh too cool!
Yes the lodges are amazingly luxurious for being in the middle of the bush! You’re right about the history. It’s so cool!
Jenny. Thank you for another awesome video. I didn’t realize how much work goes into preparing an octopus
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos!! Those octopus took a while to clean
Very interesting preparing the octopus..great video ,thanks for sharing.
It was a lot more work than I expected, that’s for sure! But I enjoyed how it turned out!! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome video Jenny, im from B.C. and still in awe of this B.C. coast.....take care....❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much!! The coast is absolutely amazing. I’m glad you’ve experienced it!
jenny you are awsome to watch and i love your cooking all i can say is the guy your with is a lucky man to find you, thanks for all you do. always watching your vids.
Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying my videos! I’m lucky to have my man too.
Thank You for the great content from Nelson, New Zealand 😊✌️
Thank you so much for watching!!
Thank you so very much for this, can’t explain it but thank you!
You're very welcome! ☺️
Thanks for another great video Jenny.
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding content, production, quality and especially presentation, JA! Top shelf. I never miss an episode since becoming a subscriber. You tell the story of that beautiful place and the uncluttered life of those who are there in it very well. Cheers!
I love watching you cook, that octopus looked awesome ty so much for your videos 🙂💐
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. I’m glad you enjoyed the preparation of the octopus!!
So cool watching octopus be prepared! Also Duncanby lodge is incredible…the amount of detail in the woodwork is incredible! Another fantastic video Jenny, kudos!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jenny, really cool videos. I can almost feel the breeze and smell the nature through the screen. Very impressed with your editing. You are the PRO!!! If you will have some free time, could you please make a video about the boats you guys using up there? Thank you, Edmonton, AB
Hi Max! Thank you so much for your generous comment. I made a video with Kevin Conway last year about the boats. Here’s the link… ruclips.net/video/vmBXmMKKnBQ/видео.htmlsi=bAqDVxrUFVanVbb1
Hope you enjoy!!
I like this idea too - a boat tour - maybe get Ted to narrate - boat type, engines, equipment etc. Reasons why they chose those boats and so on. Lots of boat folks would love it I bet.
Thank you for another really great video. You talked about Darby Chanel, it was named in honor of a Doctor who served the coast from his boat, I believe it was in the 1930's or 1940's. I have a friend living in port hardy who is named after Dr Darby, (Darby Gildersleeve). There is a lot of history in the central coast, my friend Gayle M Goertzen wrote a book called "A Boat To Take You There" that gets into some of the history, interesting read. I really enjoy your videos, you guys are making more great history for Rivers Inlet.
Thank you for sharing this interesting info!!
Hello Ken. (sorry to butt in on your reply!) A boat to Take You That was a great read - more fascinating coastal history. And I knew a number of the characters in there LOL.
@@vernsampson3584 I am glad that you replied, It was a really great read.
Nice video. Quite an interesting life you lead there - From a city boy in Chicago 😎
Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed my video! I do cherish the life I’m living. And thanks for letting me know where you’re from!! It’s very interesting to me!
Hi Jenny, love the videos, they take me to places inside myself that I often forget about. It's a feeling only wilderness living evokes. Love the setting, the people, and the natural ambiance.
I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying my videos. This area is incredible!!
Awesome video Jenny! Loved every minute.
Thanks so much!!
Hi. Just started watching. Wow what a neat perspective on life. Your videos take me away dreaming. I think you are awesome Jenny.
Lots of light and love.
Damien
Thank you, Damien. I really appreciate that wishing you the same. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos!!
Love your channel!! Keep up the great work! Cheers Doug
Thank you, Doug!!
Loved your video this week. Recalling our first time visiting Duncanby lodge by boat many years ago and now what it has turned out to be! I had very mixed feelings about the octopus as one of my favorite award winning documentary is My Octopus Teacher. As you said , how intelligent they are, as many foods we eat are. Your videos bring a lot of personal memories of coastal boating.
Thanks Jenny
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your story! It was though seeing the octopus in a bag instead of living its best life in the ocean. It’s not something we do often but the prawn boats seem to catch quite a few in their traps which is very sad. Hopefully it’s not taking too many from the ocean. They are spectacular creatures!! Thank you for watching!
My ex boss worked up there at one of the lodges years ago. He still talks of it as one of the best places he ever worked. I've lived on the coast for many years and it is a wonderland. Your section is one of the best.
We are all very lucky to experience the coast. It’s truly amazing! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing Jenny!!! Showing off our beautiful West Coast! Take care!! xxx
Thank you Catherine!! A appreciate your comments
Camera work is outstanding
Thank you!!! I appreciate that!
Living your best life,thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!
I always end up starving after watching your videos thank you for sharing your journey awesome video
Mission accomplished! 😄 If my videos make you hungry, then I'm doing something right!
Thanks Cody!
I just love your night time time lapse exposures. They are way cool. And the way you handled that Cephalopod was awesome. My partner and I caught one in our commercial prawn pots. Actually, it was sitting on top of the trap as we were pulling up the string of gear. Inside the first trap there was a piece of Octopus leg on the bait hook and we were scratching our heads thinking that was weird because we did not use that as bait. Second pot came up and there he was sitting on top of the trap sulking. Then it jumped off and stuck itself to the side and bottom of the boat.
It took some effort to get it into the boat and then it started climbing the cabin wall. Cooking it was another disaster. We pounded it and fried it . All I remember was it like eating rubber! Those were the days before youtube and you could watch someone like yourself and learn how to cook it properly. Cheers.
Woah! What a story! Thanks for sharing! It was a bit chewy. I’d like to try it again though to see what I want do
@@jenny_adrift We put some thin sliced geoduck in the smoker once and we called pig nose. It was pretty good. Maybe brine the octopus for 24 hours and then put it the smoker for another 24 hours. Octopus jerky!
And you get paid to work there. Eating large and living larger. I’m jealous. Thanks Jenny
We are all so spoiled up here!
You can probly get you mail sent to CTS and we send it up with your orders, just an option. Cheers Jenny, great video Jason
Thank you Jason!
Another BCer ..and im so facinated with are province and the coast rainforests . I was lucky enough to have visited rivers and smiths inlets while commercial fishing many summers ago. Thank u and i hope to see many more of ur awesome vids😊
Thank you Robert! Such beautiful areas! Thanks so much for watching and I’m working on another video now! 😁
Amazing Job You Have ! Love the West Coast. Never been to Rivers Inlet.. have Fished Port Alberni, Bamfield areas in the past. Long drive from S Alberta though !
That is a very long drive from St.Albert! But definitely worth it!
As I take in the scenery in your vids, I remain in awe. It's such a beautiful location, remote, but yet connected. The potential topics for vids seem endless - from the cannery itself to the history of the Inlet, the others who make their home/living there, your co-workers (the visit to the water supply & gens with Christian was great!), that promised trip to the loft exercise room, the decaying canneries, and so much more. So many topics there that some restraint is needed! I did have a look online for documentaries - didn't find much, though a NFB doc from the 60's was interesting. What a beautiful place to spend part of the year at! Incredible.
There’s not a lot of info on this place but it sure is interesting!! I would definitely go watch a show about the history of Rivers Inlet. Thanks for watching!!
Love your videos and that lodge! Blessings and so much Aloha
Thank you so much!! Welcome to the Adrift Ohana!
❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you Jenny
Thank you Randy!! ♥️
awesome that octopus looked so good, i'm gonna give that recipe a try
Nice!! I’m going to try pounding it next time and seeing if it’s less chewy. I boiled that big boy for about 25 minutes but you can cook it for less time if it’s smaller. Good luck!
And yet another awesome view of this beautiful land I am fortunate to call home
We are so very fortunate!! Thank you for your comment!!
I felt the same way you felt about the Octopus. Such a beautiful creature. Not so much about the pig. lol However I do like bacon!!!. Another great vid. Keep it up.
Yeah it turns out pigs are very smart creatures! Similar to dogs.
Thanks so much for watching!
Smoked Octopus is the BEST !
Oh wow! I’ll have to try that next time
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!!
REQUEST....Hi EVE. Great vids.
Eve says HI!!!
Hi Jenny,
Another great post , I could almost smell those Cinnamon buns👌 I bet you meals keep them smiling . I will admit I'm not adventurous when it comes to trying new things like Octopus. I'll take your word for the taste 😀. But I'm always going to smile seeing the environment you get to be in up there all those places are amazing. Glade to see you make your space a place of warmth and peace. until your next post , Stay safe and smiling 😃 🇨🇦Craig
Thank you Craig! I will always be smiling! Thank you for your kind comment. Like you, not everyone was adventurous enough to like the octopus. Some liked it and some didn’t like the chewiness. But everyone enjoyed the cinnamon buns haha
I’ll keep filming and posting more videos if you keep watching them!! Thanks again!!
Jenny……..thank you soo much for what you do! I always wait longingly for every new video!
Thank you Jerry. I appreciate you so much!
Oh I do remember the excitement of mail day!
It’s the best!!
Another great video Jenny. The octopus preparation was most interesting!😊
Thank you!! It was quite a large octopus but I had fun with it.
hi Jenny i was over at Legacy lodge two years ago beautiful place
So beautiful! I’m glad you had the opportunity to visit there!
this is all so surreal that its just nice in an environment that is removed from most. My world is coastal but nothing like this, I'm seriously envious!
I love living in the middle of the forest. It’s a spectacular feeling being so far away from the “real world”
Awesome awesomeness videos of the surrounding and your great work ethic.every body knows good food =love and happiness ❤😊
Thank you! So kind of you to say that. I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos!!
Again, good work Jenny on your video making, never boring and always interesting. I especially enjoyed the octopus segment. I see there's a bit to learn before one tries cooking it them selves. How does one find your recipe regarding the preparation and the cooking of it? Keep up the good work Jenny and look forward to the next Vid.
Thank you so much! Before I cooked the octopus I looked up “preparing octopus” on RUclips and watched 3 different videos. They all seemed to be similar so that’s what I did. There are plenty of recipes online. I cook with intuition and have had a lot of practice so I rarely use a recipe.
@@jenny_adrift Ha! Of course, I should have known that chef's don't use recipe's! I should have asked "How does one find your 'technique' of preparing octopus". I'll check on You Tube, thanks for the reply. Cheers
Tremendous video Jenny. Thankx for bring me back home, again. You're doing an awesome job, up there. It's a pretty beautiful place, EH.
Thanks so much Robin. It definitely is a magnificent place!!
Great vid as usual jenny..that scrne @ 14:40..that view is awesome..have a good week!
Yes the view from the deck is absolutely stunning!! Thanks so much for watching!
Since I started scuba diving and have seen firsthand how absolutely remarkable Octopus are, I can’t imagine eating them. No judgement here, just my personal boundary.
Wow those lodges look stunning,, such a beautiful place in our little world , Kia Ora to the woman from Aotearoa (NZ) ,, Great vid as always 👍
Thank you so much!!! 🙏 the lodges are beautiful!
I passed the message on to Eve. I had to let her read it because I couldn’t pronounce it but thank you!!!
Jenny what ever Eve tells you about NZ it’s true ,, haha
Another great video Jenny, and a chance to see some of the other Lodges in the area, I have tried looking on Google maps for the area but it really only shows a couple of dots for Rivers Inlet the rest just total wilderness but it is obviously quite a popular area for people to get off grid for a while with three other large Lodges nearby. I think I could settle into life there quite happily 🤔🤫 just dreaming here and as others have said you get to live and work there for the summer.
It’s an amazing job with so many benefits. Being up in the middle of the forest with no cell service or roads is one of the perks.
GPO, great pacific octopus, are interesting in that they very smart for such a short lifespan.
What is their lifespan generally? They are such beautiful creatures even when they’re sitting in the sink. Thanks so much for watching!!
@@jenny_adrift 3-5 years max. About two years to maturity. Not long to become so intelligent.
❤️
😊🙏
YAY! Another Jenny video, what a great way to wake up.
Thank you Daniel! I always look forward to your comment!!
@@jenny_adrift lol…not sure why. I don’t usually say much. I joined the member area, had no idea you offered it or I would have joined sooner. No need for a shout out, just glad to help one of my favorite channel owners!
@@DanielC__ I enjoy your comments because they always feel genuine and kind. There are a few people who always make me feel supported and you are one of them. So thank you.
I also truly appreciate you joining in on a membership. I will be working extra hard at delivering some members only content. Thanks again!
@@jenny_adrift Awe...how sweet. Thank you, keep on keep'n on girl. You Rock!
We
Awww thank you so much!!!
@@jenny_adrift You are always most welcome!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!!
I'm from Florida it used to be beautiful here like it's beautiful there I hope people respect and keep it that way they haven't done that here
I’m sorry to hear that! I am very grateful for the lush forest up here!
I drove through the Florida Keys, to Key West, some 48 years ago. I was very impressed how unique and beautiful it was then - hope it still remains as such!
You have the Best job I did apply for some jobs up there just like you said last time so fingers crossed love your cooking your husband must miss you I say your Mexico trip I live in Mexico LOL
Hi! I wish you all the best the luck in getting a job up here! The season is beginning already for the other lodges so hopefully you’ll get up here next year! Take care!
@@jenny_adrift Thank you and you do the same
Partially freeze octopus skin it grind it add spice make patties
It's 🌧 here Edmonton Alberta off , on may 26 2024 Good fresh air is good for you up there the best fresh air you can get money can't buy Beauty in the sky water air and the trees scenery
I think I would get fat living there. Good video
Most people gain weight but it’s not my fault haha I have many options, healthy and not so healthy. People have to choose for themselves. 😛
❤❤❤
Thanks!
Hockey games? I’d bet you’re an Oilers fan! 🏒
Another cool vid Jenny! 😊
Thanks!! Yes being from Edmonton I remain an Oilers fan
Not the finish we wanted tonight! 🤦♂️
Oh and I’m in Sherwood Park.
Video was so good this week. Brought tears to my eyes. I love seeing Duncunby and Dawsons. What was the previous name of legacy?
Thx u for making time in busy week to turn out video.
Hi Charlie! Thank you so much!! I will find out what Legacy’s previous name was. I’m still “new” to the inlet so I’m not sure.
Thanks again for watching!! Take care
Please tell your coworker who was sitting on the bed with you during the mail opening, shes got a cool shirt 🤘🤘 Lol
I will! Her name is Eve and she’s an all around cool chick.
😀👍
🙏
After I watch the octopus teacher, I wouldn’t eat it anymore. I live in Hawaii for over 20 years and I’ve eaten many octopus. Of course there we call it tako which is Japanese for octopus.
Absolutely understandable!! I loved that movie! I felt sad when I first saw the octopus but since it was already dead I wanted to give it a try. I could never kill one myself unless it was for my survival. They truly are beautiful and fascinating creatures!
Another great one Jenny Deka Mike
Thanks Mike!!
👍☮️🇨🇦
Thanks!! 🙏
Not only do you work alongside great people but now you have a Kiwi..
Yes we will soon have 2 kiwis! This is Eves second and final season with us and it’s been so wonderful having her up here!
Octopus kind of reminds me of squid, as in Calamari.I wonder if it would be good deep fried?
I think it could be good deep fried. Maybe the smaller octopus. I want to try to braise it and see if it would get softer. Thanks for watching!
I❤
Thank you!!! 😊
hello from kitamaat
Hello!! Thank you for watching!!
Such a beautiful place to live, but what a depressing room.
It is a beautiful place to live! I love my room so much! It’s not for everyone but I love the space and the bunk bed. Feeling like I’m sleeping in a little cave. We are very lucky to have such clean warm rooms. Ive been living in an RV all winter so it feels similar to that.
Does the weather get rough in the winter in the inlet ?
It can get very rough in the winter up here! I havnt been around to see it myself but I e heard some stories from the winter watchman. Last years snow was so bad that Ted had to come up to help clear it.
How do I become a member trying to figure it out watching on the phone may have to go on computer hopefully I figure it out before you message
I couldn’t figure it out
Hi! Tha is so much for watching my videos!!If you go to my RUclips page, under my profile info you’ll see videos/ pages / community… etc. if you slide over you’ll see the membership option and you can check it out there. Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@Goatguy2021 no worries!! There will be links in my video description from now on if you’re still interested. Thank you for your support!!
Figured it out I believe 🎉
Duncanby get their place built When Brad was doing a show there they were talking about getting one of their places rebuilt hotels or restaurant I can't remember what it was Rather Bryan cause he does a fishing show down Arizona popular with a king Fisher a white one No sense Is no sense high school
