Great video. I'm here at your channel through your brother. Sanctuary is beautiful. I'm glad you are sharing it with us. Bless your family and stay warm and safe this winter.
I love your channel. I heard on Matthew’s last video you just need some watch hours so even tho i subbed a few weeks back, it reminded me to come actually watch them. 🤦♀️ So here I am, watching them all at once. Love it. Awesome farm and family. You are blessed.
Wow Byron, you really know how to pack your...logs 🤦♀ Nice score on the Maple but that stuff is hard to split for sure! I love all your dogs but I have one German Shedder - I can't fathom the amount of hair y'all must see! But they make it up in unconditional love 🐶
This is a wonderful day after a birthday treat. I love how filming is a family affair. You Allens have a special family vibe that we need more of in this day and age. And thank you for sharing it with us.
I have 60 acres in Northern Arizona, I'm a widow. Seems like I'm always a season behind 😞 love and light and positive vibes to you and yours from me and mine 😁
Lisa, 60 acres is a lot to handle - and by yourself seems very challenging. That would be very difficult - but God doesn’t give us anything we can’t bear! ..at least that’s what I’ve heard said. I’m always a season (or two) behind as well!
You could open EVERY vlog like this one, yes please! Let me know if you need me to send you some bandaids. I've been sending them to your brother for years. 😅
Love the new channel, ❤sure can sure see that you and Matthew are brothers. You both have have great parents, and I love how you and Matthew spend time with your folks and each other. Your little homestead will be amazing and worth it in the long run. People like you keep BC rocking. ❤
The firewood!! My late husband really appreciated well stacked firewood. I now find myself noticing & appreciating them on my travels - it's the small things 😀 Am really enjoying your channel.
Sometimes everyday life and time gets away from us so a temporary solution or band-aid is needed. I'm sure everything will be alright.. at least it's stacked nicely lol. Another enjoyable video and always love seeing you and Noah together. You're an amazing dad and Noah is a lucky little boy. Much love to the whole Allen family.
Hellooooo SANCTUARY!👋 Wood chores today, eh ...getting your winter supply ready maybe!?🤔🤨. It's sooooo ADORABLE hearing lil Noah laughing ...such a BEAUTIFUL wide open country for him to grow up in. Thank you again for sharing and for working with a smile ...continue to take care, stay safe and GOD bless!👍🤗💖☺️
Good evening Byron. Enjoying the views of your farm life, especially the wood chopping😜 your son is adorable, it's great you get to spend time with him throughout your day.
Well done Byron, another great vlog! 👍 Home steading is indeed very hard work but it'll be way more rewarding than many things in life. Also allowing you to align with your ancient hunter gatherer dna. Noah is so freaking cute, you and Steph are very fortunate to have such a beautiful child!🥰 As for the doggies, well they're all gorgeous but I have a special place in my heart for Penny!💖 Finally bro say hi to Steph please and I'm sending her some relaxing vibes for her pregnancy which I'm sure at this point is driving her crazy!🤰🪄✨✨✨✨
I will pass that along, Leopard 🐆. She is getting QUITE uncomfortable, to say the least.. T Minus: moments until lift off! As for Penny, that is understandable.. she is a beautiful little gem of a shadow. Thank you for your kindness.
Working with firewood is a very hard job, my husband has to work with it too, as it is our only heat source. I would get him to go shirtless, only instead of a six pack, I get the middle age spread to drool over.... LOL.. Bless his heart, he works hard for an almost 70 year old man... and I do love the old fart...LOL... I wish we had a farm like you have, it is soo beautiful, and your children will have many happy memories I'm sure... Noah is sure a cutie... God Bless. 😺
Ive heated my home with wood for years ..so I can relate to the drain of stacking…I did 4 cords of wood so far this year…with probably 2 more to go…. I start in the Spring and do a cord about every other month..weather permitting….I stack what doesn’t fit in the woodshed on pallets and cover with tarps. Although must be a bigger challenge taking care of baby 😌…btw nice job! Happy stacking! 😊
Love the video! I know all about that stacking of wood thing. I have 2 wood stacks out back that I need to rearrange. Think I'll wait until spring to do that! Keep up the great content you've been putting out!
Noah is so cute! The best sound is the sound of a giggle, especially a baby giggle. And when you fell Byron, I was so glad you do your own stunts! Thank you for the glimpse into your happy homestead. So, do we get a reaction from Steph?
@@TalesFromSanctuaryDon't encourage them Byron, trust me that's a can of worms you don't want to open, especially if you don't want to be sleeping in the barn with the goats!😂🤣😂
Love you home out in B. C it not easy to run place like yours but it great to see what you do on your place thanks for your Vlogs keep making then Bryon and family I hope you have a great Christmas and best wishes in 2025 Bryon and family
I hate chopping and stacking wood. Its goto be done but its backbreaking. My hubby has bought me a log splitter as he says im really dangerous with an axe 😂. When im sitting in my lounge with a open fire roaring away its all worth it. X
I absolutely love splitting and stacking wood 🪵 🪓 I find it very relaxing. So dangerous with an axe that he had to purchase an industrial grade machine for your own safety!!
Always enjoy your videos, noticed different seasons, now in December Im sure not as much lush foliage..Great wood chopping, your a pro...Your dogs are so special and the cat as well. Noah on the swing fun to watch...Happy Holidays...🐕🐔☀🪓🙏
👋 Byron Another great video. Forgive me; I liked your last video but forgot to comment. You maybe said already. But I was wondering 🤔 what you do with so many 🐐 goats. I know you said Noah drinks the 🥛 milk. But are you raising them for show? Hope you don't mind my questions. As far as firewood, I know what a job that can be. One day at a time. Well, until your next adventure, I will say 👋 BTW I always smash the like button 🛑 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Carolyn! Well, we haven’t really thought about raising them for show, it’s been more of a practical thing for our own sustainment.. but that’s a very interesting idea!
Hey Byron, enjoying the vids. Do you have enough wood collected for winter? Looks like a lot. Do you get the trees off the property? Did you use a chain saw to cut it to the right length? Also, does it have to dry out before using? I'm picturing the warms cozy fires.
Hello! The two cords in this video were delivered to us by an outstanding local out here.. delivered because I was way behind! I’ve got some videos upcoming that will answer all of your questions 😉 stay tuned!!
Mice for sure, but Kaino handles that. I have yet to run into a rat. And snakes are everywhere but they’re just little duffers I pick them up and they hang out with you no problem!
Great video. I'm here at your channel through your brother. Sanctuary is beautiful. I'm glad you are sharing it with us. Bless your family and stay warm and safe this winter.
Well thank you for coming on over! Appreciate you being here 🤙
Awesome video again😊
Love the video!
Another great vlog Byron. You'll never run out of content lol. You're a busy fella.
I’ll only be stymied by my own imagination!
I love your channel. I heard on Matthew’s last video you just need some watch hours so even tho i subbed a few weeks back, it reminded me to come actually watch them. 🤦♀️ So here I am, watching them all at once. Love it. Awesome farm and family. You are blessed.

The howling. The shedding. The late night pee breaks. It’s all worth it. Man, can I stash a log or what?
I love Mr. Man in the background derecting you on wood stacking! Tell us the truth he is the forman of the homestead! (Dextor looking wood stack lol)
Mr Man the homestead director!
I’m absolutely loving your channel!
The trees in the background starting around 10:07 look like they are from a painting. What beautiful colors
Living out here is quite literally living in a fairy tale.
This is a wonderful day after a birthday treat. I love how filming is a family affair. You Allens have a special family vibe that we need more of in this day and age. And thank you for sharing it with us.
That’s very kind of you to say
🐐🌼🐐🌼🐐
Playing catch-up....so much fun.!!
Perpetually!

Why does my brother need so many bandaids 🤣
Out here it’s usually more severe. Only professional grade tourniquets will suffice!
Love the new channel, ❤sure can sure see that you and Matthew are brothers. You both have have great parents, and I love how you and Matthew spend time with your folks and each other. Your little homestead will be amazing and worth it in the long run. People like you keep BC rocking. ❤
Thank you for that, that was very kind of you
Great wood stacking. Noah is adorable.
He sure is!
Hard working young man you are!! Lots of wood. Watch your back….
Always 👀
Lovely vlog
People stacking wood usually turn the wood the opposite way every other tier on the ends so there's no pressure on the end posts.
I’ve seen many different methods!
The firewood!! My late husband really appreciated well stacked firewood. I now find myself noticing & appreciating them on my travels - it's the small things 😀 Am really enjoying your channel.
Wherever I go, I too admire stacks of wood!
Time to shirt up, son; to quote a family favorite movie. I couldn’t resist. Luther seemed to be enjoying being freed from the backyard! Good video.
Splitting wood is 1 thing I don't miss from my younger years.
Really? Alan, I love processing the wood. Maybe I’ll come to dislike it but for now - it’s a joy!
Improvise…Adapt…OverCome. Ya’ll starting to sound like the
Homesteader -Marines up there ❤Hoorah!👍🏻🙋🏼♀️
Sometimes I imagine the goats yelling at me are all individual drill sergeants.
..but screaming for hay. Not more pushups.
Sometimes everyday life and time gets away from us so a temporary solution or band-aid is needed. I'm sure everything will be alright.. at least it's stacked nicely lol. Another enjoyable video and always love seeing you and Noah together. You're an amazing dad and Noah is a lucky little boy. Much love to the whole Allen family.
Your words are always so kind and a boost to our morale! Thank you so much, God bless you and have a blessed day. Thank you for being here.
That's why wood heat warms you twice, Byron! 😂
I’ve never heard that before 😂
Great video love all the animal sounds in the background
Ask Matthew, he knows a thing or two about band-aides lol
😂😂
Ahhhh just rub some dirt innit.
Fall chores, getting the wood gathered….know all about it, even the part of finishing in the rain. Good on ya Byron 😊
You and Wilf absolutely have me beat in the experience sector!
@ ….are you saying we’re old 😂
You have a beautiful acreage. Maybe one day you could give us a drone drive-bye. Shirtless wood chopping was appreciated.
😂
LOL... My sentiments exactly.... 🤣
Calm down girls, he's a married man!🤣

You’re right! Getting the winter supply ready and feeling very behind! Hence the next few videos…!
Hi Byron! Great job on the log splitting! Very satisfying chore!
It’s very satisfying!
Good evening Byron. Enjoying the views of your farm life, especially the wood chopping😜 your son is adorable, it's great you get to spend time with him throughout your day.
It’s great having him as my little sidekick, it’s as if I get to learn everything all over again!
I think you have a harder job than your big brother Matthew. Glad to see your first video. Hope to see more.
Haha, oh I would say we’ve both had our fair share of “dirty jobs”.

But there is nothing like wood heat, is there? Your husband sounds like a stand up fellow. Thank you!
Love the daddy and Noah time, so sweet 🥰 Dang that was a lot of wood chopping, hard work for sure! Great opening 💪💪😉😉

A fellow wood-enthusiast! Wonderful! Six cords is quite a lot, my hat is off to you! Outstanding!
I enjoy your channel. I look forward to your next one 🦋🦋🤗
What a beautiful family! Can't wait to watch more of your videos
So good to see you again
And you!
Love the video! I know all about that stacking of wood thing. I have 2 wood stacks out back that I need to rearrange. Think I'll wait until spring to do that! Keep up the great content you've been putting out!
There’s never an end to the wood stacking, is there!? It’s glorious! Definitely wait until it warms up for your re organizing!

I like seeing the fall colors. Another amazing video.
Noah is so cute! The best sound is the sound of a giggle, especially a baby giggle. And when you fell Byron, I was so glad you do your own stunts! Thank you for the glimpse into your happy homestead. So, do we get a reaction from Steph?
His little laughs are hard to handle. I can definitely include a reaction from her at some point!
Nice wood Byron 🤣🤣🤣(someone had to say it). Great vid. Good to see another one.
That’s a healthy stack!
@@TalesFromSanctuaryDon't encourage them Byron, trust me that's a can of worms you don't want to open, especially if you don't want to be sleeping in the barn with the goats!😂🤣😂
A memorable line from the movie Galaxy Quest: “ I see you managed to get your shirt off.” LOL, but seriously, shirt up brother.
Nope. Won’t do it. When it’s hot out I’ll keep it real. You can keep yours on if you’d like 🤙 😉
Hi another great video.Thanks for sharing
Love you home out in B. C it not easy to run place like yours but it great to see what you do on your place thanks for your Vlogs keep making then Bryon and family I hope you have a great Christmas and best wishes in 2025 Bryon and family
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Hi Byron and family 👋🐐🐓👶🇨🇦
Hello! 🐐 🐺
I hate chopping and stacking wood. Its goto be done but its backbreaking. My hubby has bought me a log splitter as he says im really dangerous with an axe 😂. When im sitting in my lounge with a open fire roaring away its all worth it. X
I absolutely love splitting and stacking wood 🪵 🪓
I find it very relaxing.
So dangerous with an axe that he had to purchase an industrial grade machine for your own safety!!
Hard work but worth everything about it ! Homesteading is very rewording ! Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Been bindge watching Mathew sent me.
There is a lot of hard manual labor on your homestead. You definitely need those muscles for sure.
Always enjoy your videos, noticed different seasons, now in December Im sure not as much lush foliage..Great wood chopping, your a pro...Your dogs are so special and the cat as well. Noah on the swing fun to watch...Happy Holidays...🐕🐔☀🪓🙏
As the seasons change, this wonderful place turns from one painting to another. It’s absolutely stunning to watch! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
The WHEELBARROW IS WHERE 🤷🏼🤣?
Wonderful question! Full of goat poop I imagine.
The no shirt thing, was definitely a great idea, no disrespect intended to the Mrs. I’m sure that brings more views. ❤
😂
Nice one again. Take care. 🐨
👋 Byron

I love questions!
Hey Byron and Steph and Noah..........you're funny too....have you been stacking and all wood started to fall..???
I have had many piles fall over on me!
I called it she'd and weg in my day builds muscle keeps you warm😊
Wedge and 10 pound hamer
Great to see another day on the farm! How are you heating the barn this winter?
No heating source! Unless we have surprise goat kids, then we will be hanging a heat lamp or two!
Stack the wood, drape the wood. undrape the wood, cut the wood and then store it. Rinse and repeat.
Let season. And repeat!
A mans got to do what a mans gotta do.!
Hey Byron
Shirtless and chopping wood...fantastic way to start a video btw can I come and visit just to pet all the dogs ?
It’s had mixed reviews 🤣
Of course! We will open the Sanctuary Petting Zoo, with a special Husky section.
Oops, got a new phone and didnt have my notifications on :( fixed now and looking forward to the next vlog.
Great! See you there in the next one!
Love this but how do you afford to get all this acerage in Canada and afford the house and all these animals?
Timing and the willingness to suffer through terrible jobs and amazing opportunities.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Byron, enjoying the vids. Do you have enough wood collected for winter? Looks like a lot. Do you get the trees off the property? Did you use a chain saw to cut it to the right length? Also, does it have to dry out before using? I'm picturing the warms cozy fires.

Byron you do not have to do weight lifting work outs; your life is a work out. Nice that your son can be with you a lot
But we have to be even better!
🤩
Spiderwebs especially when the babies are on the web…..😱😳🤯🤬
This is something I see very often out here. I never used to see that in the city, ever.
❤😮😊
Do you not get rats/mice/snakes in ur word stack areas ?
Mice for sure, but Kaino handles that. I have yet to run into a rat. And snakes are everywhere but they’re just little duffers I pick them up and they hang out with you no problem!
Ahhhh….something about a man splittin’ wood….
😂
How old is Noah?
Noah is two.
@@TalesFromSanctuary He is such a cutie!
May recommend gloves?? 😂
But then how would I toughen up my city slicker hands?
