Bonjourning: Snowboarding behind a Horse

Snowboarding behind a horse, yup, thats Canadian eh? It's like Skijoring except with a snowboard and a horse.

[@edbarber1755]

Gotta be best Mom & Dad ever!! Girls are always having a blast and all kinda fun

[@margaritagonzalez8625]

I almost spit on my phone! “ Anyone need a man!” We thought that nuts came only from trees! Nice going Dad! Love Rose’s answers! Lol! You guys are a breath of fresh air! Which is so sorely needed! Thanks for the vids !!!

[@naeemhazrat7556]

Its lockdown here in Dubai due to Covid 19 and i am enjoying your videos ... Thanks

[@bloomingtonian7529]

Thinking of all those poor deprived city kids which get their entertainment from video games (or youtube videos).

[@chelseyledoux5366]

You mentioned on another video that you dont want to be monetized. I gladly sit through commercials to watch content I actually enjoy. Half the time my 5 year old makes me watch the commercials and the way I see it, you guys deserve some money to continue entertaining us! Please monetize your channel and make money from what you are already doing. When I have the time, I just let the commercials play so that it contributes to the efforts out into the channel.

[@Gridlessness]

Hey Chelsey, we have started to monetize a few of our newer videos. We don't love commercials, but it seems to be the only way....thanks for your support.

[@EmptyHammock]

Your tow vehicle had one horse power. BWAAAHAAHAA!!!!

[@Gridlessness]

I guess your right, it seems like it should be more when it takes up so much space!

[@jobaer9037]

Your Facebook page name please

[@4philipp]

That looked like a lot of fun and good healthy exercise for all involved. Nothing better then to fall flat on your face a few times. Anyone who says country life is boring is gifted with an excessive amount of lacking imagination. Make sure the boys have proper supervision when around the girls. Or are those Dave’s boys?

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

I've watched every single episode... I, am curious to see what this family is upto.. :D

[@许海生]

that's the way of life！your guys are living in a Paradise

[@mikebateman8021]

You have done a amazing job with your girls You're and your wife You should be proud

[@aliladavies]

this video had me smiling the whole time. keep up the vids! your life is 👍

[@phillipstoltzfus3014]

Dad made a toboggan for a our horse when we were younger and then we would have a blast. but the Pennsylvania winters are often too mild to do a whole lot. That looks like a ton of fun I just went snowboarding first time this year but the resorts closed early due to coronavirus. Great music in this video btw I just discovered your channel and am loving it. Subscribed

[@Yesica1993]

I had no idea this was a sport/activity! How crazy fun! See, I wouldn't mind our long Midwest winters if they were like this!

[@4philipp]

Yesica1993 no place is boring with a little creativity

[@madamelicorne581]

Your videos always make me very happy. It's amazing to see how you live and what a lovely family you guys have. Have lots of fun :)

[@denisescott7245]

looks like a blast was had by all...my cousins used to do this on skis on their ranch(Big Lake b.c..) enroute to Likely b.c. I was so envious as a kid, 'cause I grew up in the lower mainland/greater vancouver area....my cousins all wanted to move to city when they were young...me I became a country girl when I grew up :) Gorgeous area, gorgeous lifestyle(we homesteaded in northern b.c. off grid/remote with our kids when they were small/young. It's a great way to live!

[@Gridlessness]

Sounds like we're on the same path you took. I hope the kids are better off for the experience.

[@Robbobshiskabob]

Awesome video!...keep up the great family content! hope your channel gets enormous😀

[@Gridlessness]

Thanks, glad you like it. We have a blast making them.

[@stillrandy]

It shows. You are living the life that so many dream of. Love your channel.

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

Rule #1 I would say when bonjourning is making sure the dishtowels are always tight . lol . great video, I've never seen this sport before. cool

[@krishnamohan6260]

You people are living the dream. This is how the life is supposed to be. #GoodLiving#TruePurposeOfLife

[@MandyPatinkinChannel]

Thanks this was really helpful

[@troy4219]

Unbelievable family. When are the reality show's producers going to grab you guys up?

[@raincoast9010]

The horse got a good workout!

[@HitchHiker4Freedom]

Reminds me of my sister towing me behind her pony on a tabaggon back in the 70s. Few incidents of road rash but it was to much fun to stop.

[@zorrorides1]

I like it! FROZEN FUN Nice photography great job.

[@AutoCrete]

I use to tow my sister on ice behind a motorcycle. Did you know it's possible to do 60MPH (100 KPH) on figure skates? She never found out cause I would always tell her it was 1/2 of the actual speed.

[@michaelbagley9116]

We all know who is responsible for the 5 girls ...Dad......

[@Blessings.429]

Listening to you is like listening to my 44yr old son, use to the the useless conversation 😟😂😂😂🇦🇺💖

[@ronwalton6576]

I think that some of your music should be “ wipe out”. If you don’t have a mountain, use what you have. Great video, I love your family you all are living life to the fullest.

[@mehdis.9245]

Bonjour Rose et Jeff! Quel beau moment en famille!!! I've been very inspired by your videos and I would like to ask you some questions because I am considering to go off grid with my wife and childrens, so I've tried to send you a private youtube message but it seems like your channel don't offer this option... How can I write to you guyz ? Thanks and may the Lord bless you and your daughters abundantly, in Jesus name!

[@Gridlessness]

Mehdi, Sorry that your having trouble getting a hold of us. Our channel does offer a private messaging option. We'd be happy to answer some of your questions.

[@bennym1956]

this video is a fun ! laughed and enjoyed it

[@SuperPlaned]

we call it Horseboarding or Free Joring any thing goes from no rider on the horse to running the dogs as well

[@daviddunford9183]

Do you do your own shoeing, or do you have a farrier that visits your homestead?

[@alvindueck8227]

Hey, that's a great idea

[@3Sphere]

That's some nice lookin', sturdy horses. You guys are just good at and know what you're doin' with everything you do! Y'all must've grown up on a ranch besides going gridless as adults. I am envious. I can't tell ya what a pleasure it is to watch your videos... :) Really good job punchin' your man-cards too and telling the ladies what's what. I can tell that they greatly appreciated the guidance... :)

[@Gridlessness]

Both of us were born and raised in the city and have learned what we know now, since living off grid. We've had good instructors! Thanks for the kind comment!

[@3Sphere]

That's amazing! You must've had GREAT instructors because you sure seem to come to it all natural-like. You swim like fishes in water... :) For sure those girls are going to be a bunch of Annie Oakley's. (careful, boys :) If you were to all dress in period clothing and remove the modern technology, you all could easily walk right out of the 1830s. I'm a fan of mountain man and pioneer history. Those people were sturdy and capable and they knew amazing things that most moderns have totally forgotten. I was the caretaker for a few years of a cattle ranch and we've had it with the city or even the semi-city. The city simply isn't worth livin' in anymore. I'm in the process of getting my place ready to sell in the spring and we're going to buy acreage in the deepest, darkest Midwest US for a homestead. I'm having a lot of fun reading everything I can get my hands on about homesteading technology, both old and new. There is a LOT of material out there and a LOT of exciting new technology that's been married to the old ways. It's an exciting time for an anti-social survivalist to be alive! Also watching lots of KZbins for information, enlightenment and entertainment. There's a lot of good stuff and also some pretty bad stuff and everything in between. It's a fun game to search through the wilderness of KZbin for the nice, big trees and hidden gold mines. But for sheer joy, there's no channel that tops you guys! I was also thinking of keeping the electrical and water umbilical on the new homestead. But y'all inspire me to go totally off grid! I'm also going to start a channel for my homestead right from the beginning when I buy it with all the successes and (head hung low) failures too. :) Because we can't succeed many times unless we first fail and then persevere. I also blog a log because I have the gift of fingertip gab. So don't encourage me too much unless your want reams of verbiage... :) When KZbin removed the limits to the length of posts I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Others, maybe not so much... :) Cheers!

[@sankhronlouislouis1209]

Your place is cold with lots of ice Nice and lovely

[@ryanmacf]

We did that at cold weather training in Wisconsin. Of course we did it with a snowmobile though. Would have been funner with a horse.

[@mickemike2148]

AWESOME skills displayed here!

[@brianskjaveland280]

nice had lots of fun doing in Alberta here !! who does your farrier work and shoeing ??

[@Kels0423]

You could have a MAJOR successful KZbin channel that would more than pay your bills if you would do longer videos and if Jeff didn't have such a dirty mind ;-) Seriously, you should give it a try!

[@mickemike2148]

BTW, may I ask for more Gridlessness?

[@rolandobernardo9152]

i love this family its awesome

[@TheBereangirl]

Forget the bonjourning, I'd operate the horsey end!

[@honeybadger1856]

It's my first time to hear that song and i like it.👍👍

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

I'm thinkin you must keep a GIANT and well stocked first aid kit at the homestead.

[@kdmedchill]

You are so fun to watch, Awsome!!

[@tuddsmithers7101]

When the back end of your pony falls off you know you got the saddle too tight. Big fun!

[@jimf1964]

I just don't understand people who don't like winter. When else can you do stuff like this? When else is the ground soft enough to act like a total goof? What a total gas that must have been.

[@Gridlessness]

Its so much fun! We're actually getting the horses suited up to do it again this year!

[@jimf1964]

Gridlessness it'd be too late if it was in Montreal. We actually had a larger than average precipitation this year, with some very cold temps, but we got a pretty big rain which took out most of the snow, then another couple big snow storms, then freezing rain which ruined it, and now again above average temps and rain are causing another big melt. I think it's already the end for snow sports here. Enjoy your skiing though. Do a jump for me. ))

[@SuperPlaned]

well looks very cold :) we like staying warm that why we use mountain boards in the summer :)

[@luvr381]

Could also be called 'road apple surfing'.

[@markjohnstone3411]

All natural liveing the man Jeff 💯

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

I am new to this channel-- and I have no idea how he could have possibly afforded to leave the cities-- buy land, build a house-- AND support such a large family.. Where does the money come from?

[@kriskelly5373]

Furness Prime he's living off the land which provides most food(hunting gsthering and gardening) as for the land and house, land isn't really expensive in the bush compared to a tiny lot in the city,bush is full of the majority of building supply's.

[@MAB3776s]

Good job on the Third Day. Mac Powell can both sing and get some worship going! Love that you chose it. If you know you know.

[@va7dgp]

I guess you all had a good laugh about Vancouver, Burnaby got snow last couple of weeks and how people were complaining that they could not walk and drive. Now the rains Love your video's

[@Gridlessness]

Yep, the weather news during a snow storm in the valley is like watching a SNL satire, except that they're serious.

[@ge3029]

@@Gridlessness come to Victoria, see trace amounts of snow on the ground (like fake Halloween snow), and schools are closed, cars travel at 20 or less and people whinge about the harshness of nature.

[@success1866]

Wow that horse🤙
