Sometimes I Forget How Much I love Living in the Bush

- After three years of living in the bush, I do sometimes forget how awesome it is to be able to do what I am doing. Living in the wilderness was once a dream for me and Its good to remember that I am still living that dream. I am grateful to be able to do what I do.
Welcome to Traplines and Inlines, this channel focuses on my dog and I on our remote Off the Grid Homestead in Northern Canada. I make videos on off grid homesteading and building, trapping, chickens, mechanical projects, and hunting and fishing.
I went offgrid and started building my cabin over two years ago, while I was still in highschool. Since then I have built many things at the homestead and have had the priviledge of learning many things along the way.
The homestead is designed to be relatively low maintenance and with extremely minimal expenses. All of my electricity comes from solar power, heat from woodstoves, and I haul all my water so I dont have any monthly costs associated with my homestead.
I love the lifestyle, especially because it gives me the absolute freedom to do whatever I please. I plan on continuing to tackle awesome projects and work at building and fixing many more things, and I cant wait to share them with you on the channel.
Thanks for watching!
Pause everything, it's a Traplines video!
The bear photo when you were a kid was awesome! You're a go getter:))
you must be living the perfect life tbh. I am a top uni grad but god damn...sometimes I wish I was just living out there, close to nature, no internet bullshit, using my hands and my tools, providing for myself and enjoying those quiet moments full of reflection. No rat race. I gotta give it to you, bud. You may have just worked that life shit out. All the best from across the word.
Hey - are you a top uni grad?
@@gichigaming5844 lol, the highest..
Same as myself, actually just achieved my Bacholers degree in Computer Networking this year. Kinda wishing I would have went into Forest management at a Rural college/University instead but hey ho I'll make it work. Even if I take a career in IT for a good few years, even in remote networking down the line, so i am still able to work in remote locations week to week and hopefully create enough wealth where I can buy a small farm cottage or something similar, somewhere rural later in life

Ahhh. Just in time sweetheart ❤️. Just had one bad hurricane here. I'm sitting in my office at my house in Fort Myers Florida and had quite the past few days. Just got my power turned back on and finally able to use the internet. Many, are still without power, water, and millions lost their homes. So, seeing you at this moment fills my heart and puts a huge smile on my face and takes my mind off of the horrible tragedy around me. Thank you my dear friend.❤️💗
You should head for the "bush". Sweetheart is lonely, can't you tell?
Bradenton, Tampa Bay area. I'm happy you made it
I'm so sorry dear, it was originally supposed to hit us. It's always bittersweet, knowing it missed you but horrified it hit someone else. But yes, he is a sweetheart and seeing his videos in queue always puts a smile on my face.
@@deernutOO Is that why he's squirming off his chair? 😆
I'm excited to see your next project!
Definitely a beautiful spot you have 🤘🏽
I don't live quite as remote ad you, but my time at my cabin is so precious...quiet, I work on my projects, cut firewood, revel in the seclusion, so I have a good feeling about how you feel regarding that. I'm 68 and still learning all the time, so you have your whole lifetime to learn! Love your videos.
Truth
64 and still living the dream in the Bush. Came here after serving my country and never looked back. Good life. No wants. No worries
@@jackofalltrapping6181 thank you for your service. My grandfather served in ww2 . And was a trapper and fur buyer. I learned many things from him im 45 and this is in muskegon and Newaygo County western lower peninsula of the great state of Michigan. Tight chains and tight lines .
I live back in the smokey MTS of North Carolina off grid. I love your remarks. You've got a heart ❤️ like mine...
"Sometimes I forget how much I love the bush" , Never forget how much we love you!
I certainly enjoy listening to your musings about your life in the bush. You are way ahead of other young folks your age when it comes to what you want in life. Have a nice day and enjoy.
I'm excited also about your new cabin build, going to be awesome, can hardly wait
Got another thing to say you know if you love what you do and you do it good then it's never work
Good to see you man. Never sell the camp that is all I can say. Unless you have something similar you are going for, you will regret it. Love that outdoors!
Agree, every man, his family too, needs a getaway place that belongs to them & nobody else.
Glad to see your spirits back up, old cat. Vids are fun to watch
This has become my favorite RUclips channel, of all the millions of channels on this site.
This man is living the life! So excited for the next cabin build. Going to be deadly!
My career has been all office based. Retired 20 yrs ago and done a lot of DIY, shooting, gardening. At 71 with a bad back I still needed something different….so I’m learning to fly….passed all the exams and been solo for a few months. I’ll just keep going till I drop. You’re an inspiration…have fun for as long as you can.🏴
I've lived in the woods 50 miles from Canada ( Saskatchewan) for the last 20 years, I can't even stand going to town anymore let alone the thought of even living there again.
Love your videos 😊
Beauty! Next time you feel bored make one of these videos. Hearing what’s on your mind keeps us up to date with Trapline and Inlines plans. - Be safe my friend.
OMG... You're awesome. You make me laugh and put a big smile on my face. I love you being you. You remind me of old sourdoughs from Alaska, where I'm from. But you're so young. I just can't believe it. Is that an Irish-Canadian accent I hear in your voice? Keep on doing what you love and making videos for us!
I simply like to just sit and listen to you talk.....it's deadly...lol....see ya in the next one..take care my friend...
i have been an aircraft mechanic living in the city for 10 years and im going to leave it all behind to live with my brothers and start my dream of farming. your videos have really gotten me interested into my own milling and building my own cabin
Self awareness is the key. And your all over it. That's what the wilderness does for ya. I'm an old man and every time I get in the woods it makes me feel young. Keep at it youngster your doing it & doing it well.
My dad had the spirit of the bush in him. We would go deep into the mountains in Alberta with a Moto-ski and chase around after elk. Dad wouldn't shoot deer. He said they were too beautiful. He shot moose. We often were tasked as little kids with running the cutline and making noise to chase the game out onto his parallel cut line. It worked well. He knew his way around in the bush naturally. He never got lost. I too love the bush but life and decisions took other turns for me. My girls used to go deep into the nature preserve in Connecticut that backed our property. They would see deer herds and would also see coyote groups chasing the herd through the swamps. I am glad you have that camp. Never ever let it go. It is indeed sanity! Thanks for the video.
I'm a sucker for straight talkers. I really enjoy your vids 🤠.
The scenery is sooooo BEAUTIFUL!
(I notice Cougar's throne is gone. 😭 Miss seeing that handsome pup in your videos. I hope you are doing ok, a loss like that will always hurt. My own side-kick Lucy is almost 11 and showing her age. ❤)
I can definitely relate where you're coming from about being in the bush. I spent 16 years working with the forest service working in the Lincoln Woods Wilderness Area and patrolling all the way from Hanover to Franconia in New Hampshire on the Appalachian Trail and would stay out for 2 weeks at a time normally. a little over 2 years back I bought a 20 acre piece of forest land surrounded by Timber company land and State Forest where I can walk or take the four-wheeler for damn near 20 miles on the mountain without even hitting a road. there's only four houses on this road before the power stop and the road shuts down for the winter just after my neighbor's house 1200 ft away, then the next neighbor after that is 6 Mi away. I may not be in the bush but it's damn near as close to Heaven as you can get for Vermont. I call it the high Mountain Home Stead since I sit in a saddle a couple hundred feet below the highest mountain in the area. I still fuss around in the woods all the time but I'm 72 and putting up a 26x30 ft garage at the moment by myself so I ain't out hunting as much as I want to be. and damn it, bow season open today but I got to get my garage closed in yet so no time for for fooling around , winter is coming real soon Mister and I better get cracking if I'm going to get shit done before snow flies.
When I was 3 my brother started taking me out to the bush an we made bushcraft stuff lean ons an spent nights in the woods when I was 5.
Fellow Bush Boy! Your videos never disappoint. Take care and stay safe!
You can do it….just take baby steps ..i was interested in this 5 years ago and started with just hiking ..then it progressed to over landing with my rig…then thought of land …and finally bought something and have stepped up my rig with a rooftop tent and diesel heater, fridge and much more…my point is its doable. I wouldn’t think i would be where im at if somebody said back than “you will own your piece of land and have a nice over land rig in five years” … now granted im a weekend warrior but progress is being made. Don’t give up and follow your dreams… you can do it, just remember baby steps. Good luck my brother/sister. I wish you all the best !
You, are definitely the most Canadian person on the planet, and I love it!. I'm a B.C. boy, wishing to do what you're doing. I've learned a metric ton from ya! Keep it up please. Best of luck in your adventures!
I love seeing your videos keep the new ones coming
I get a real kick out of watching your life in the bush. Don't stop.
Whatever you video is what I want to watch and I bet that goes for most of the rest of your fan base. That is a nice canoe. I'm glad you found it. The pike won't be happy about it. Once you learn how to fillet a pike it is a great snack. I like to fry it in bacon fat. You are looking fine. I'm glad to see you in this frame of mind. You are indeed a bush baby. Your living area is so practical. I live in an attic so I know how things have to be thought out. Good video. Pax.
I can tell how much you love what you do. It has always been in my blood, "to be remote". However, you bring ut a good point. Unless you stay busy it can get really boring. So, for me it turned into work. I really miss it though!
Glad to see you are doing well. I don't blame you for wanting to live in the bush ! Thanks for sharing
DUDEEEEE,I used to watch your videos and one day I lost contact of your channel and I spent so much time trying to remember the name and finding you.I am so glad youtube recommended me this video.
Great video as always! Looking real nice up there in the bush. Can't wait to see you getting after the log building, but also the quick updates of life around camp are just awesome. Keep up the good work my friend!
Good to hear you enjoying life and looking forward to the next projects. I bought 2 canoes identical to the one you got 20 years ago, from Costco here in Sotland. Both canoes still in good shape, only use them a few times each summer but they have never let me down. Get a nice wooden paddle, I bought 2 Canadian paddles from an outdoor shop here, more expensive than plastic but feel much better. All the best.
I just want to let you knew how proud I am of you. I have watched your videos since day one and I often think of how well you are doing and all you have accomplished. My 12 year old son is also learning a lot about self sufficient living and I have got him into being more self sufficient because of you're videos. It's really let him see what kind of accomplishments can be made from a younger man and I appreciate all you have posted on RUclips. Your an inspiration. Safe travels
I wouldn't have missed your video, as I actually enjoy your thoughts and plans too. And being a Northerner who hates cities, you are a breath of fresh air, in other words your channel hits me in all the right places, though I still miss Cougar Big Time, Thanks.
I love your love for the Bush ❤ also please do a vid of fishing on your canoe
Love every video no mater what
Get it!!!!!!💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you Kyle, appreciate you my friend, stay safe and take care 👊 ✌️
Enjoy your videos so dam much your energy is ten fold with projects, be safe can’t wait for the log home build👍

Love this channel! Fall in the bush! Looks like you need more cut firewood you don't have enough
Cheers Brother!
It's been awhile since I've watched, man the channel has grown, that's awesome keep it up man. Stay blessed y
These videos always seem to cheer me up, even when you aren't doing anything.
Yo videos help me figure out how I wanna live life and be independent and live without bills just learning to love life and nature itself to videos really inspire to learn how to occupy myself just by keeping up with the place I live
Hello from the Shawnee National Forest in So Illinois. No Bears 🐻 but plenty Timber Rattlers stay safe
Good to see yeah old boy & hope all is well with u as well take care & god bless
It's good to see you back man I have followed you all the way through all your trapping and building your house I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next
caught my 1st polar bear at age 9. love the vids.
I would love to live there…the quiet..something about living in the bush feels just right
beautiful scenery in N. Ontario, I\m jealous living in S. Ontario, near Toronto
Thankyou for being so honest. It's a great reminder for the rest of us.
Keep it up!! Your a non stop action type of guy! Best to you and your future!
YEP GREAT SPOT TO JUST RELAX FROM THE FARM WORK AND BE ONE WITH NATURE....... EH....
Another great video,man so beautiful up there and peaceful. Love you lots ,great life. hugs till next one.
Man jealous! That’s why I watch your channel, your experience and videos! Brings me there with you. I live in concrete jungle. Keep the videos going Kyle.
I love what you did here the couch upstairs and table good idea
Always enjoy your show. Next time you need to kill some time waiting for the mail man, might ought to haul and stack some of the firewood down to the cabin. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
My husband and I own a bush quarter in Northern Alberta . We have a small cabin with wood stove, a couple of sheds and also park our 5th wheel there. We had 2 quads sold one and got an Argo with tracks. Game changer it is a little work horse and so great in the snow as well plus you can go in the water without getting swamped. I would highly recommend if you are in the bush the 6 wheel Argo is the way yo go.
Keep the videos going …I wake up every morning for my 40 hr a week job thinking about what I’m going to when I get home… you living the life my friend
Updates are always nice. Keep up the great work.
That upstairs is no joke cozy af

One job you could do is weed eat around the cabin and firepit, that tall grass drives my ocd insane lol cheers brother 🍻🍻
Love your channel
Hi friend, I love listening to your stories cuss words an all, im sure you could write a book on your experiences I'm sure you could do well.
Living the dream brother
Love the bear story - what a marvelous photo! 👍😆 Looking forward to what you're up to next.
You might be able to lighten your transport work by having a local bush pilot drop smaller loads into camp from the air. Maybe look into that? It will cost you a service fee but possibly no more than you'd spend on gas & time driving in & out of camp yourself. (Try sliding the dresser drawers under your bed or sofa, to make your room look neater? And, smoked pike is delicious too - a lot of fine bones but, yes, it's good! :)
I know, it's crazy! 12 years old and he takes out a bear. To be fair, I was a lot cooler when I was twelve too. I just didn't stay that way like Kyle did. 😅
@@CleoHarperReturns Laughing... Anyone with a name like yours could never be anything but cool! 💐☺️👌
@@monkeybusiness1999 💜
The piling method and all that good stuff. lol I've followed you some time now young man. Much love, be safe. You're a hootch. I'll tell ya that for free!
Looking forward to the next projects
Love it! Keep it comin bud - never enough content.
Excellent video again . Ya gotta love working with them logs ..... I just bought a portable band saw mill and it is about as awesome as it gets . I just love butchering them logs into lumber !
I do like it buddy I like it alot
Thank you for the video. I really appreciate what you do.
Film the fishing show!
Good day I am a retired 65 year old Man and have a registered trapline in Manitoba. It's very nice to see a young man like you who has the passion of the bush like myself and it's a lifetime adventure you are going to have. Enjoy it trapping is a way of life not the killing of animals but being one with nature. A great way to be out there is pick up your chainsaw and start carving I developed to be a fairly good chainsaw carver and let me tell you there is more money in carving the fur bearing animals than trapping them which is a sad state of affairs. Enjoy the moment it goes by faster than you think.
Just remember,while that poplar may burn nice and hot, it burns up quickly, all soft woods do, while hardwoods burn a bit cooler and last much longer, so...at least you can load that stove of yours and get threw the night without sweating to death and then waking up freezing because the fire burnt out! 👍 rock 🍁 maple is a nice hard wood that burns good
That loft room is soo dope
Great video thanks for sharing your thoughts 🏳️🌈👍
Happy for you pal from Logan West Virginia
Also wondering if you will trap this year and also process some Beaver. What about a Moose or a dear? You could have a freezer solar powered and use the cold weather to keep it all frozen in the winter. Just a thought.
how can you not fall in love with that view
😆 hell yeah 12yo got a bear! Dude your the man
