    Our Journey! How did we get here?
    In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

    WE MISSED YOU PACK! How are you doing???? We will be reading ALL the comments on this video and catching up with y’all- leave some of your thoughts after watching the first episode of the year. There’s been A LOT going on behind the scenes and we hope this video answers some of your questions like where we have been, what to expect for this year and our 2024 posting schedule. If we worried you, we’re so sorry- we typically take a few weeks off at this time of year. We’re so happy to be back!! See you next Sunday 💛

      omg, I've missed your videos! I haven't even watched it yet, but need to comment. I'm at a really weird spot with depression in my life, but seeing the two of you tackle life and maintaining a positive outlook really gives me hope that I can make the life of my dreams as well. I'm taking slow steps to get there, instead of just wishing "one day." You both are a beacon of hope and optimism, and I wish you all the best.

    A small thought I wanted to share: I never click on a video expecting a fully finished project from start to finish. I don't even need a good story! I just like compelling and REAL people (which you guys are). I know the algorithm is something you will always have to fight with, but I think if you posted regularly even if it's just a run on the beach and a little chat, your subscribers would watch. 😉Happy New Year!

      Agree. You actually are more detrimental with the algorithm too when you don't post regularly. I think that has almost been the only thing that hasn't changed with the algorithm since its inception, regular posting = higher algo engagement regardless of any other factor.

      @GuyWithTheDogs 3 месяца назад +4

      @@MattWeber Regular posting is only a tiny part of the algorithm. RUclips is watching dozens of metrics. Sometimes I look behind the scenes at what RUclips knows about the people who watch my videos...and I'm amazed. My videos aren't monetized, but for those that are, all of those things are important to RUclips when they are selling advertising.

    Balance - so important. My dad retired at 57. Full retirement (Europe) but everyone questioned it because benefits were reduced. He and my mom (who didn't work because of Fibromyalgia) got to spend many years together, riding their bikes to cafés and even traveling to the US to come see me. It turned out to be the right choice: my mom passed away of a stroke at 59 and my dad at 69 of Alzheimer's. Balance means you don't wait to enjoy life until you're retired...and it might be too late. Glad to see you back. Have a great week!

He said, “This is what I love about this type of reality TV. It’s just both of you, speaking about your honest feelings. Nothing is scripted, edited but not scripted.” He and I talk about balance in our lives all the time so we were glad to hear you talk about that as well. While we, your pack, appreciate how hard you both work to upload these wonderful videos, we understand taking the much needed time for yourselves.

    After watching this video, I have one thing that I want to share. As an older woman (considerably older), I can say that success has so many definitions, and the one that is often lost when we're younger is successful connections with family and friends. It's great that you have such a successful YT channel...I'm thankful for you. Being successful in your chosen career is a wonderful thing. Finding balance is even more wonderful.
    It would make me sad to know that you were spending time entertaining me when you'd rather be spending time with your family. I'm 62, and lost my Mom a few years ago. I was not as good at maintaining relationships as I could have been. I regret it, and it's unchangeable. So you have to do what feels right in your heart. You have to do that.

      Each day is a day for growth or a day for relaxation.
      My struggle for 2024 is do I retire or not. Up to this point I wasn't worried but the upcoming election for the USA has me very concerned. The outcome of it will impact a lot of things in our lives. Not going any further into politics and I ASK that others not turn this in to politics. No matter who wins there are concerns and issues and that plays into do we retire now or later.

    Hi Jaz and Crystal 😂 it's so nice to see you back. I've been watching you since you first started clearing around the cabin and building your road. Having lived in Northern Ontario for 20 yrs or so I could really relate to the blackflies and mosquitos you were dealing with lol. Right away I was impressed by your spirit(s), your love of dogs, and your "go get it" approach to so many challenges (and an awful lot of hard work and long hours).
    I'm a 73 yr old retiree and have very much enjoyed living vicariously through your great passion for life. I'm a great believer in the "yin & yang" of life and that events in our lives simultaneously contain both good and bad ... the victory over the last set of problems and the challenge of the new problems that will replace them. The winds of change are energizng, as we see in your latest video, and they can also be troublesome.
    I'm very happy to see you moving forward in your lives, sorting out where you want to be and who you want to be. I'm also aware of feeling uncomfortable about the change. I've become very comfortable with our vicarious relationship. You've done a fantastic job of reassuring us that you're not abandoning us 😘 You are already dealing with the yin & yang. You are such wonderful people!

We have used our similar tractor since 2007 to keep our community road in good shape, clear ground, and build drainage projects, rock walls and more. Weve built a few rooms, a deck, retaining walls and a mountainside parking deck. Thats over 18 years. What you do has been amazing in such a short time. If we dis videos, we'd still be on the first project. 😅
    We've done the tent thing, the sailboat thing, the van-camper thing, the doggie thing plus kids and grandchildren. At 75 & 76, its a thrill to back the pack. Can't wait to appreciate and unexpect. Happy New Year from the Land of the Sky, Asheville, NC USA

    Crystal & Jazzy, the most important thing is you, you two, your loved ones and those close to you. We love seeing how you’re growing, building and developing your dream (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually). But so glad to hear that you’re reflecting on the core - your dream. You just happen to be open and gracious enough to share it with us. The sharing of it is what we love, not how frequently you do it, just the fact you’re open enough to do it is enough. It’s inspirational, it’s instructive, it’s motivational and it’s great fun. Even with challenges you face there’s always positivity and love and a way forward, you two really are amazing! It’s lovely to see you both fit, happy and healthy, bless you both and hugs to you, Bella & Izzy and all your loved ones. I don’t know what to expect but I know it’ll be awesome, here’s to 2024!🥳

    Beautiful update. I love that you are thinking of the bigger picture. Life goes by to quickly having lost my dad then my mom 8 months after, fallowed by more then a douzen more friends and family member, and a few other life impacting changes. I can't stress enough to everyone hold the people you love tell them you love them and take time to spend time with them. Tomorrow isn't promised.
    Every day I fight the fight to stay positive to be stronger then my multiple mental health illnesses and other disabilities.
    Having this community has been my saving grace, my safe place, where I see I'm not alone and I receive so much inspiration. I love you all, The Pack for life 💞

    You are like having friends for coffee. And thank you, thank you so much for sharing your hearts, your minds and thoughts and feelings. And keeping it all real. RUclipsrs and their (your) lives are so a part of each of our lives (as viewers) when we get to have a peak into your adventures and explorations. And you are not machines. Seeing and experiencing your insights each time we tune in and see you, whether it is weekly or bi-weekly, or whenever, is SO special. I'm so glad that you've chosen to self-care, self-regulate, and take care you and your families through moving into this next year. What is all of your hard work worth if you can't put down your cameras and have a human and soul connection to what you have been creating?! I can only speak for myself, but as a fellow human who takes care of dogs and the land for friends on the west coast of Canada, the times that I get to "doless" in and be present, allow me to be uber-present with those that I need to be with the public view and my work life. Seriously... seeing you when I see you, is like having a coffee and catching-up and really feeling the feels of what you've been going through in YOUR creation and exploration of your lives. And Bella and Izzy. ... your hearts and souls extended. I look forward to your next adventures. Love you and your Pack! ;) - Tim
