[@SuperEholmes]

So amazing how you live. God has blessed you tremendously. Praise His Holy Name. I love how you live your lives. Thank you for sharing it.

[@waltsimonson2556]

Oh my God , if I could eat the way you guys do I would way 300 pounds , and I'm skinny , but I love good food . I wish you would have showed more of the home made craft Christmas decorations , I grew up poor and ( now because of the times ,still are ) loved making them when I was a child , Christmas is my favorite time of year " Good Will to All " and " Peace on Earth " is a really good thing ! Hope it happens this year .

HEY! Good morning to everybody! Thumbs UP to Epic Family !

[@simplyrik1496]

At 77 I live on 10 acres like you but west coast rain forest, what is missing is the family etc., I have two border collies.Your videos bring joy into my life, you all have created something very special with intent. I discovered you a little over a month ago and am in the process of watching your past adventures. Your children have been given a priceless education and it shows. It seems as though you bring attention and beauty to everything you touch, each one of you. It is good to know that people like you do exist in this world, it gives me hope. btw: through various clues in your videos I found your hide a way cabin on Google Earth, you are most definitely out in the middle of nowhere and I don't think you would have to worry about unexpected guests arriving, the land of a thousand lakes. I just want to say thank you for being who you are and I send blessing from Gibsons, BC

[@ciaraclarke1488]

Happy holidays

[@barbarafuhrman7395]

[@EFRT]

Hi There. Thank you for your comment. It sounds like you live in a wonderful place there in BC with your Border Collies. I’m sure Lando would love to play with them in the rain forest. We are so glad that you are enjoying our channel. Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@jangrahame4891]

Hi Rik. I was struck by the well written and encouraging comment you left here. So I checked out your channel and left a new comment for you.

[@MrGaryparker]

I remember as kids at the cottage, before we had electricity, we helped our mother fill a ringer washer from the lake. It was run by an old gas motor.

[@Morse633]

I would like to thank your entire family for the beautiful videos, my family has been in your area for 60 years and it is truly a special place . When I found your channel I could not express my feelings. I wanted to show my mother your video's but was hesitant to her reaction . When I did; there was more joy than tears. This helped her with healing with her loss. Thank you so much. Brian

[@EFRT]

Thank you so much for your comment. We are thankful that our video resonated with your Mother. We are so glad you found our channel. Hope you have a wonderful day and a beautiful Christmas.

[@martyrutter3630]

Found your channel a few days ago while out with Covid and have enjoyed several of your videos. Good family values and beautiful video scenery was very comforting. I watch another Canadian Buckin Billy Ray Smith and now I have some wonderful friends up north. Blessings to you and your family and may your channel continue to grow. 🙏♥️

I remember when "Wilderness"was a tent and a long hike .

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Like another commenter, I helped my grandmother run clothes through a wringer (located in the basement-cellar) and then out to hang dry. At the time I didn’t think that someday it would be a fond memory! Hey, EFRT family … have you all read John Steinbeck’s “Travels with Charley” ? It is not typical Steinbeck, but a non-fiction account of his trip in a 1965 custom truck camper. Charley is his standard poodle who goes along and “christens” bushes across the U.S. It is maybe the first RV story! He washed clothes in a bucket … put them in in the morning and let the day’s travel do the agitating 😊. Lastly but NOT least … another lovely video that I have added to a list of things to watch when daily life gets ugly. Thank you all!

[@EFRT]

We haven’t read that yet. Will check it out for sure. Hope you have a wonderful new year!

[@parnellbeth]

I helped with the wringer washer chores back in the 1970s. We always heated the wash water. Several loads were run one after the other and additional water might be heated and added in. Having it in the sauna where the water could be heated on a small wood stove sounds ideal.

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

😊 I helped my grandmother … mid to late 60’s. And it was in the basement (cellar) so we had to lug the wet wash upstairs and out to hang dry. I must confess that I do love my automatic washer and dryer! But the wringer setup beats washing clothes with rocks in the lake 😂. Another lovely video that is peaceful, loving, instructive (thank you for the power setup info) and overall restorative of spirit and soul.

[@kerrylynnparsons9441]

I love your ‘natural’ decorating. 🤗❤️🎶🎄🎅❄️⛄️🥶🇨🇦

[@bay9876]

The cold Canadian winters warmed by the festive spirit of Christmas. The old fashion Christmas with a burning log on the hearth, lots of egg nog, a fresh-scented decorated Christmas tree in the corner, and Christmas music softly playing in the background.

[@fluffer4049]

I’d purchase Carol’s Epic cookbook.

This is a great video series. I can't wait till the lake is iced over. Have a great week.

[@jamesmatthews-se8wi]

Thank you for being and continuing in all you (i.e. the 6- of you - inclusive of Lando) do daily as great examples of a father and mother 'raising up' 3- young adults in this world of today. I have been blessed weekly by the stories of your travels, the victories and challenges that come as we all live our lives as each day unfolds for 5 +_ years now. It is equally gratifying to observe Peter, Caroline and Dan develop into their respected places in their broad extended family structure. At this point, I must deviate and be permitted a cautionary tail. I must emphasize in no way is it to be misconstrued, in any way, form or fashion, to be anything more than my expression of the concern of safety of others. I was pleased and, at the same time, significantly concerned at seeing and hearing you relate that the 'vertical axis, oscillating, agitator' with top mounted, dual roller clothes wringer attachment was still in use. Providing good and faithful after all these years. I was especially en-heartened when i heard your words of ". . . we will replace this with something more modern (Eco-friendly, smaller, etc). My cautionary story: One of the first 'major' items I remember my parents acquiring after 'the War - - WWII' was such a washing machine. To my recall, the manufacturer / brand name was Kenmore. A Sears and Roebuck item. My mom was washing the clothes on this particular day and for what ever reason, possibly me - I was either attempting to help OR she trying to keep me out of what ever mischief I was about to be in, allowed her fingers to be entangled with the clothes which were being inserted into the ringer rollers. In a matter of a second or two (at most) her hand was drawn up into the rollers. As I observed on your machine, Mom's ringer attachment was fitted with an emergency 'crash bar', which she had presence of mind to activate. This action immediately stopped the advancement of the clothing and entangled hand with no injury being inflicted on Mon. ( I have no specific recall, however, I am sure she took a break to settle down before going back to finish the chore.) Yes, i did see the two men there keeping you safe and helping. However, there is a reason 'these things' have not been manufactured in 70 ?? years (a guess). And, how long in the past did this technology originate? (another guess on my part - - WW I - 1920's) My musing - - don't throw it away; retire it; place it on display; it appears in too good cosmetic and mechanical shape to trash. I apologize for the long windiness. I came close to sharing this story when your video of returning to the island earlier in this year had a clip of first using the washer.

[@EFRT]

Thank you for your heartfelt comment. Yes we have heard from a few people how those wringer washers can be dangerous. Like you said, we are planning on getting a different system next summer with fewer moving parts. We are so glad that you are enjoying our channel. We wish you a very happy new year!

[@fredsieber2676]

I just ran across your channel. I was raised in the mountains of Western NC (before it becaue a tourist trap). We grew up very poor (poor but happy) and lived off the land. I now live in very urban Japan. I miss the country and mountains so much. Your videos remind me so much of home. Thank you for this. Subscibed!!!

[@EFRT]

Thank you for subscribing. And thank you for watching in Japan 🇯🇵 a very happy new year to you!

[@maraatigi7727]

It's nice to see Caroline again. BEAUTIFUL family you have there.

[@billybrand]

I remember helping my mother put the clothes in the wringer of a washer like that one. I got my little arms caught between the rollers a few times. I was always afraid of those wringer washers whether they were electric or gasoline powered machines.

[@houstontexas4658]

Awesome that you have everything you need in your own backyard to decorate! And, welcome back Caroline, it's nice to hear your narrative again!!

[@anniebanderet]

Thank you, again! Loving the cabin series! Apple is really good in butternut squash soup! Glad Caroline is back!

[@Whistler326]

A well deserved break for Caroline ( you tube can be all too consuming)

[@anniebanderet]

@@Whistler326 yes!

[@billybrand]

Regarding the flagpole, the bottom pin should be the one you remove and use the top one like a hinge. On the ones I have seen, there was also a weight on the bottom to make a cantilever.

[@EFRT]

Good idea

[@TimmyCramer]

Awesome Family.....and Values!! 😉

[@mikemecklenborg5412]

I remember as a child growing up on the farm in Southern Ohio using the old style washing machine. A little slower process but it still did a good job. We filled up the machine by carrying buckets of water from our spring located across the gravel road from our house. Gradually things got better when we installed a pump in the house which allowed us to pump water into the house. I spent a lot of time priming the pump. We were definitely doing something wrong that we had to prime it a lot. The good old days where you were always busy,with less stress. Life was just way more relaxing emotionally back then. Miss those times!!!

[@EFRT]

Yes, you are right. More work but less stress.

[@helenemulvihill2997]

hi Pete and Family, just wanted to share with you I recently discovered Louis L'amours complete works are available to listen to on Audible. I'm starting at the beginning, with Sackett's Land, which to me will be a treat as I came across them not in order when I discovered them as a child. Some of them I dont think I've ever read! Also I'm getting them for free because I have audible credits from prime. Going to be an adventurous winter for me! Have a great holiday.

[@EFRT]

That’s awesome. Yes the audiobooks are you usually well done. Enjoy and have a wonderful Christmas.

[@wavelength7503]

Very festive. Some statistics, and a word of advice/ caution. The big killer of birds, not sure if it's 1 or 2, domestic cats could be 1. Windows are at the top for bird deaths. I'll explain. The reflection of the outdoors confuses birds from negotiating where to fly. Especially when they get startled by whatever, and hawks are excellent in finding where birds feed. When frightened they will smash into a window, understanding the reflection on the glass is the out doors. I have learned the hard way picking up dead birds, and bringing some to rescue clinics. It's the cause of my own ignorance as I was already aware that high rise office towers/ condo windows are devastating to birds. Though I have huge windows in my home I thought it wouldn't be an issue, but it was. So I moved all my bird feeders a distance from my windows, that includes hummingbirds, and all is well. It is nice to see birds feeding by the window, but it could be their death. Even though we think we are helping them. But they can live without us, so I would think it's for our entertainment. As an ex offroad enthusiast/ camper/hiker. I traded my wheels in for sailboat adventures. My family and I sailed for 40 years, and lived that dream. Your battery set up is what is used on Sailing vessels, of course depending on the load. That ringer washer brings back terrifying memories as a kid. I just about got my whole arm pulled into the wringer, as it caught my sleeve. im thankful to the manufacturer that the release mechanism was functional. Though I have lived all over Canada, now in the Ottawa region. We are having unseasonably warm weather. But that is what global warming will be doing. Nice video 🇨🇦

NIX on the combo washer/dryer. Rv manufactures have tried to install some and the ones that do hear complaints all the time. Washing can take hours and that's only a couple of pair of pants They far far away from being "eco friendly". Full name is Great Dane RV Mobile Service, I hear the horror stories a lot.

Really beautiful decorations and I bet the cabin smells wonderful with all the different pines and dried fruit. I have to say that was seriously the most beautiful hot cocoa I've ever seen. I'm going to try to copy that here at home. You have such a beautiful and well prepared cabin. What a wonderful adventure in itself. I often daydream about being able to be in this very situation. To be able to be snowed in, drink coffee and watch it snow. The only thing I would change in your videos is the music. It's a bit depressing and doesn't seem to fit how lovely your videos are. I hope you don't mind me saying this. I'm a new viewer and looking forward to more of your videos.

[@ruthbartonico7531]

I am a regular viewer. I agree with the observation; the music is somber. The suggestion would be helpful for us, viewers.
