Love to watch your adventure! If you miss your veggies for their crunch, I suggest making wedges of your cabbages you brought they are delicious! As homesteaders we also like rutabaga sticks and carrots those should keep until spring. I would love a pantry/freezers tour if you can😊
We love your videos! Keep them coming. The way you window is open to run a power extension cord in, must let cold air in. If there is something like soft rubber around, like a pool noodle, notch it for the cord. Place the cord in the notch and then place the noodle in the window opening. Close the window. Reduce the cold air. The paintings were great. So was the laughter.
Another great video. The paintings made us laugh with you. I love the big eyebrows Matt gave you lol. The wind outside is what is causing no one to hear you. Not sure if you should put in sub titles at that point . ❤
Great visually. Had to use close caption. I spent the summer working on the Yukon border. Daylight 21hrs, then dusk, then SUN! That will mess with you as well.
It's good to see you have got into a good routine. The lack of sun is very much a problem. We live in Sunshine Bay, but that doesn't mean we get sunshine everyday. I like you, have to be outside a good chunk of the day, whatever the weather. It's also good to have a release from the everyday. A good hobby, or we have a movie night a couple of nights a week and take it in turn to choose....make it a date night....it does wonders for the mindset. ❤
Enjoy your videos. They certainly capture the remoteness and beauty of the BC wilderness. You may want to turn up the volume when editing your videos. Had to crank up the volume my end to hear you guys.
Showing the paintings was such a cute and funny moment in the video. We can tell you guys are best friends and cherish each other 😊 Thanks for the tour!
As a retired water operator maybe a future topic is about your potable water , where does it come from , how is it treated , where does it go ? Good one for Matt to look into ?
I would guess that you are into the time period of getting up around 7 am or 8 am, but find out it does not get light outside until 9 am and then in the afternoon the lights go out around 3 pm and on goes the generator so you can lights to read or watch TV or youtube until you go to bed around 10 pm or 11 pm. Long nites and short days, that's what I remember from my days of living up in that area. Oh, and don't forget the long days of steady rain, which at least runs away back to the ocean which is better than snow that you have to go out and shovel. Keep up your spirits, spring is just around the corner when the days get longer and the weather gives you more sun. Merry Christmas!
Really enjoy the tour. You guys are doing awesome. Thanks for taking us along. Guys I don’t think you should apply for forensic artist jobs when this gig is done lol
WOW! I live in Seattle, Washington and I thought our winters were dark and gloomy! Thank you for sharing that you feel tired. I never equated that to the lack of sunshine! I really feel drained this year- my light bill will reflect this I’m sure. Enjoyed the video!
Hello from South Florida, Matt and Emilie! You two are a blessing. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to sharing this adventure with the world. I must say, I've felt some concern for you two, though since you've not posted for a few weeks now and preciously you were posting weekly. Can you please send a quick message so that we know you're okay? Thanks, guys, I'm looking forward to your next post.
We’re doing great and appreciate your concern ❤. We took a short break from creating videos over the holidays and we hope to have new video coming out in this week!
@Claysanas Happy New Year! I'm relieved to hear all is well. Thank you for taking the time to provide that peace. I'm also happy to hear that you guys set time aside for taking a break from the social media demands. We're looking forward to your next content post. Be blessed! Scoti
I agree with the person who said hearing you is difficult, even inside the lodge. I applaud you guys for doing this winter caretaking job. I personally could not be alone with my spouse on an island for months. So I have a practical question: if you get seriously ill or injured, do you have a plan for evacuation? I do t recall you mentioning that at the start of the series. Also, isn’t it awfully cold and damp leaving the bedroom window open for the cord to pass through?
We appreciate the comments we will work on the volumes level for the next video! We have not addressed that issues of evacuation yet. We will try and speak about that soon!
I started binge watching yesterday and I'm all caught up now! I'm really enjoying seeing that part of our country - you are so fortunate to be there, vitamin D notwithstanding! I have a couple of questions: 1. Did the mouse traps work? 2. Are you really out of vegetables or just the fresh ones? You must have frozen a lot of them, but it has been three months... I couldn't believe how much you had to do at the beginning! Thanks so much... see ya next week:)
We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying it! We love gazing out the windows at the water here-it’s truly mesmerizing. Yes, they do work, and quite well! We’re out of fresh vegetables now, relying on frozen and canned ones instead. It was a lot of work to prepare everything in the beginning, but being well-prepared always pays off!
The highlight for me was looking at it yours portraits it reminded me of a story that was apparently true. My wife grandfather always said he was scared of no man and very few women which was true. According to my father-in-law Have a close look at the portraits. Matt 😂😂
Loving these videos. What a great adventure. Emilie can you share with me about your use of Castor Oil? I’ve used Castor Oil packs so was wondering benefits for face or that routine. Thanks Penny
You all are doing great! Resting in winter is fine! It is time to rest & recharge! ❄️ 🌧️ 🔥 have you solved your meat 🍖 or lack thereof issue? No more veggies….oh dear, vitamins? ❤💚
You're absolutely right! We have done some digging in the freezer and were able to find some more meat! but we mainly have frozen veggies now, No more fresh ones for a while!
I love your series of weekly videos❤️. I am wondering if you are planning on a polar bear swim on a Jan 1st? Secondly would you ever try such a venture in the future? What is one of your high lights from this venture? Once again I am loving your series❤️❤️
Thank you! We’re so happy to hear you’re enjoying them! Matt will most likely do the polar bear swim-he jumped off the dock yesterday for his cold plunge! We’d love to consider another venture like this; we just need to keep ourselves open to the possibility. One of the highlights of this journey so far has been walking through the ancient forest-it’s so quiet you can almost hear the forest speak!
Yes, I agree…please fix the audio🙏. I just cranked up my tv volume. Thank you for the video…won’t give up tuning in! Take care you guys and hang in there. 🙏
Hey guys..Just wondering how much $ you spent on food when you went there ?? Love the vids..stay safe.. tell matt to put a piece of tape over the gun barrel muzzle to keep the moisture out.
not really its more of a damp climate than a cold climate bears slow down and sleep a lot but there is still fish to eat and mussels to eat at lower tides , need to be more north or east and higher elevations for bears to hibernate , I live on Vancouver Island and I see bears all year around .
Matt too bad you lost your drone, as it was a big part of your productions. Your on line, so it would be no problem buying a new one.? Is there any way you could get it dropped off. IE; Commercial fisherman, DFO patrol boat, CCG manned light station, Sail Boat? There must be something you can intercept going up the coast. Parts get delivered in NL like that. Also Emilie, your art work reminds me of a Maude Lewis. You should build drift wood bird feeders and paint them, you would make a fortune when you get back. Lol. Cheer's H
We’re really missing our drone lately. There have been so many sunsets we wish we could share with everyone. It was also super handy for scoping out spots before heading out on our day trips. We’ve thought about posting on the Masset Facebook page to see if any fishermen come out this way, but we’re still on the fence about it. Ems has even been toying with the idea of making birdhouses. She used to paint all the time for work, but it’s been ages since she last picked up a brush 😆
Where they are living now is very remote only helicopter access and in the best conditions , I know this area so well , they are off off grid , if it wasn't for having star link they would never have contact with the outside world and that is remote .
We have lots of frozen vegetables, I was able to can a small portion of fresh vegetables but we didn’t have enough jars. We are making do, mainly the fresh fruits or citrus ones we miss during this time.
@@mishelle6823 if they go back to the other side of the island they could try to swim to Russia or China , but who in their right mind would want to try that LOL.
Let’s all help these two save up for a new drone so they can continue to share amazing content . It’s the price of a Starbucks coffee people.
Thank you so much 🥹 honestly we are so grateful for your support and kindness!
@@Claysanas You’re very welcome guys . Keep up the great work .
@@outlawcountry6069Darren I’m doing the same🙏🦅🇺🇸
Nice to see the place indoors. Thanks for the view into the mundane routines as well as the adventures! Stay strong together.
Love the paintings.
Alone has to be one of the best shows of survival.
Your location is on my bucket list but at 76 probably not going to make so thanks for sharing. 🤠

Enjoy watching this beautiful place and your adventure from halfway around the globe

It is so important to have routines and things to look forward to when you live out here. 😊

Thank you so much for the feedback! We will definitely pay more attention to the audio levels moving forward!
You both know the power of daylight on the human mind,live those hours outside, no matter what the weather.
Thanks!

Love your videos, the paintings were funny. I live the animal trail cams and views. Such beautiful walks!
Oh my gosh! You guys are in the know. I saw Darren on your screen. 🙏🦅🇺🇸
14 more days then the days start getting longer again.

Luv the show guys!!! So much beautiful nature pics, I liked the art work , looked south park characters ❤😂😂😂😂
Really enjoy the tour. You guys are doing awesome. Thanks for taking us along. Guys I don’t think you should apply for forensic artist jobs when this gig is done lol
Laughed out loud with you re the paintings. how fun. Yet another enjoyable video. Thanks

Thanks for sharing

You would think this is backwards but by leaving the window open it will draw the warm air from the wood stove upstairs to the bedroom better .
We appreciate the comments we will work on the volumes level for the next video!
We have not addressed that issues of evacuation yet. We will try and speak about that soon!
Haha. Those paintings were awesome.keep up the great work. Were you able to get the drone going?
Thanks haha 😄
No not yet, We are trying to clean it a little more but we are not that hopefully.

Yes, I agree…please fix the audio🙏. I just cranked up my tv volume. Thank you for the video…won’t give up tuning in! Take care you guys and hang in there. 🙏
Great job Emile am watching from Hay River NWT
Thanks for all of the feedback! We will be sure to check the audio levels before we post the next video! We appreciate you following along!

Thanks for the tip! I will do that! We didn't buy any of the food. The company provided it for us.
Do the bears ever hibernate there?
not really its more of a damp climate than a cold climate bears slow down and sleep a lot but there is still fish to eat and mussels to eat at lower tides , need to be more north or east and higher elevations for bears to hibernate , I live on Vancouver Island and I see bears all year around .

It would be so nice if one of those boats could drop off some fresh fruits and vegetables!!
Hold in there and keep hopeful always
We all need to pitch in and get y’all a plane full of ground beef, fruit and veggies sent up so y’all can restock and people for a bit

@ oh I bet. My comment was not meant to be literal but rather to show them support. I bet it is harsh rough and unforgiving
I really like your videos but...I can't hear you very well & I have the speakers on my computer turned all the way up, can you speak up?
Thanks for the feedback we will work on this for our next video!
I was wondering about your drone. Did you try unplugging the circuit board and clean all pins and receptacles with alcohol?
We haven't yet, We will have to give that a try because we have no other options 😝
You have no veggies?
Didn’t you bring frozen or canned veggies?
We have lots of frozen vegetables, I was able to can a small portion of fresh vegetables but we didn’t have enough jars. We are making do, mainly the fresh fruits or citrus ones we miss during this time.
Check your audio level guys.

What Country are you in.... general location?
Western most point of British Columbia in Canada
@@mishelle6823 if they go back to the other side of the island they could try to swim to Russia or China , but who in their right mind would want to try that LOL.
Please Fix your low Mic volume if you want people to watch your videos.
Turn up your own sound. I did. It’s perfect.
Volume is terrible this episode
You might want to check to see if gluten intolerant that may be why your falling
I can't hear you. 2nd week in a row of this.

Turn the volume up. I could hear it fine
