Raw & UNFILTERED: a WILD day OFF GRID (w/ Jake and Nicolle) | EE 134

[@OffGridLife]

Was so fun to host you guys at our temperate rainforest wilderness property… Can’t wait to host you again, there’s so much more for us to explore and do… Would also love to join you on your sailboat Eva! 😊⛵️⛵️🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

[@badcat4707]

Hi , was your son's name inspired by Fox Mulder ? and have you had any occurrences with the local Forest people ? 🙏

[@freedomrider30]

Looks like this is already written in stone!!! AWESOME!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@Sammyturtle]

You need to teach your baby to fall asleep when there's noise, I would start now before she gets any older

[@Sammyturtle]

I'm sorry that comment was unnecessary.

[@oceanbnd]

Jake,,, I watch your channel all the time. It was special to see you and Nicole on someone else's channel. Can't wait to see you guys do more together. I already can't believe all that you guys do off grid. To share all your talents with others and to be raising a child as well,,, thats incredible. You never cease to amaze.

[@bobstout9140]

Fun video guys! It brought back so many memories of time I spent with my grandparents back in the 60's on their farm. They lived this way by necessity not choice and they valued and respected the nature that fed them and their family. We were "city kids" so my grandparents wanted running water for us - my uncles ran a mile of garden hose from a spring up the hill, punched a hole in the kitchen wall and dropped the hose into the sink. So, we had "running water" until it froze in the winter! We experienced the bounty of the garden year round from the root cellar carved into the hillside. Thanks for introducing us to Nicole and Jake! I have great respect for both of you couples for pursuing your dreams and being brave enough to take roads less traveled.

[@davidnichols147]

What an exceptional experience. We truly enjoyed visiting Jake, Nicole and Fox. Thank you so much for the beautiful nature you have shown us, the memories will last forever.

[@moniquevelasco20]

You guys are so lucky to at Komorebi with Jake, Nicole and Fox and to have experienced their way of life. Awesome video guys. So glad you got the opportunity. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

[@jeromemartinez5603]

Didn't get to much opportunity to tell you the 3 we are semi off grid, always liked their gardening and we have raised beds multi level and potatoes in tall laundry baskets that do real well, tried natural soil here but its rough, have had nice harvests in a short growing season, high altitude has it's own element, to live this way in as much harmony as possible is the goal, produce is so much better

[@jeckmariefrancisco3480]

wow..how nice to see like this moment with jake ,nicole and fox togetherwith jade and brett

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

BRETT, your a powerful 💪, INTELLIGENT individual you’re doing wonderfully. That’s NO SHIT. Do you and you’ll always be wonderful 👍

[@collinhowell2064]

That was a great video and story telling, thank you for sharing this with us. So many great memories for you all. Love the wilderness and what Jake and Nicolle have done to be self sufficient.

[@pedropenduco3180]

Well guys, I LOVED that! I couldn't help thinking about the two of you in maybe 30 years time, watching this & re-living the moment. Magical place, lovely people. Thank you for sharing.

[@glennburch1081]

I was watching Jake and Nicolle before I found Expedition Evans and was blown away to stumble upon this episode of the two together...... a very good idea. So much inspiration from the four of you. I am sure you guys had a ton to talk about. Thank you so much for sharing, glad to see you guys have met and now know each other which will make future visits all the more special.

[@obieandlaurie]

Aiyana is a good friend…..what an amazing treat….good for you two…..thank you for sharing with us! 🤗

[@larrypederson1370]

At times the tone and volume of your voices added to the reverence and serenity of the moment. So much love for all of you. Very inspirational!

[@liamclarke64]

This has been so surreal for me, Jake and Nicole are the reason I am addicted to KZbin, being the first channel, I ever subscribed to, and Expedition Evans the only channel I refuse to ever miss a single episode - so, seeing this collaboration was just unreal. Thank you, as always!!

[@karenann5220]

If you boil the dandelion root it will help for pain. The actual flower is awesome in antioxidants and for heart and digestive health

[@briandouglasmoore4435]

I have been following Jake and Nicole for many years (since before the yurt) now I get to see them from a different angel .I have enjoyed this video a lot.And also now I have found a new couple to follow on line I have subscribed and will be following you two from now on .Also I now have a lot of videos to catch up on .Im 75 and retired and so I have lots of time .Looking forward to following you.

[@edtaylor89]

Great video, Brought back a lot of memories from my younger days.. I know for a fact it is not paradise all the time.. They are doing a great job of building a heritage for their children.. Very admirable..

[@snipinmonsta]

then vibes i get from their property gives me very similar vibes as to when you guys were building your boat. Its the sense of building something bigger then yourself that makes the hard work worth more then just some boat or cabin.

[@sockeyevoyages8840]

Jade and Brett, Welcome to our neighborhood, the Inside Passage, the northwest coast of North America. Jake and Nicolle demonstrate well the hard work and joy of carving a home out the temporate forest. 30 years into our off-the-grid home on an island, we can see how the forest will close in and reclaim our place (unless someone continues the effort) like the ocean dissipates the wake of a boat sailing across the ocean. With intention, care, and awareness, it feels like a longer timeline embracing and sustaining a shorter timeline.

[@dough5626]

I love how you are explaining the Hot Tub function to us in detail and how much work is involved, then as she is pumping away on the water pump, he says i think with all this work we will appreciate it more....... She is still pumping to this day as he stands there and films...... LOL🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@TheForeverHomestead]

Hey Guys I loved this video. I have followed Jake and Nichole for a long time now. It is really fun to see two of the channels I love get together and share stories and have their timelines interact..

[@Sammyturtle]

The ending with your dogs was the BEST part, it brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful editing!

[@laniake-an]

unregretted minutes? i dont regret 1 single second this episode was the best hour of my day Calming, informative and a little emotional at the end expertly edited 10/10

[@ricknicholson5894]

Otters can be land based going to water for some of their needs. I live on Vancouver Island in Qualicum Beach and an otter took up residency roughly in my backyard, close to some ponds maintained by our local golf course staff. A couple of times I've walked down one of our "busy" streets with the otter right beside me. Seals are much more water based. Where my boat is moored in Comox, resident harbour seals have lived on and off the docks for many generations. There is one old male who won't budge refusing to dive into the water of the pier when people want to pass by so the marina boaters have to work up the courage to walk by the seal. He really doesn't do much when they walk by except to be verbal, saying something like "bug off, this is my place." Sea lions are easy to identify due to their size. At a local marina I often visit, we have resident sea lions there but during the herring season the local population of about six turns into about sixty. The marina is French Creek, a government run marina primarily for the commercial fisherman. The large fishing trawlers with their load of herring attracts the many additional sea lions to the area. In fact during the herring season (a couple of weeks), the residential homes close to the marina experience such loud barking from the sea lions during the night hours, many residents have a difficult time sleeping. A few fall seasons ago, I was at my boat for an overnight at the marina and was just out for a walk along the piers. It was dark, about 9:30 in the evening when some guy called me over to look into the water in the boat "put in" area between the two marinas side by side. There were three younger Orcas swimming in this confined space, I'm guessing looking for some of the resident harbour seals for a tasty snack. At one point I was literally about ten feet away from them, a memorable moment. You don't need to live off grid to experience the wonders of coastal British Columbia. Just in my backyard, adjacent to the golf course, either living there or cutting through have been cougar, otter, deer with and without fawns, ducks, owls, squirrels, rabbits, quail, our multi-generational resident racoons (currently momma, and four young teens), and sitting at my desk top computer typing this it is feeding time for the bald eagles as I see them every time at this time of the day looking for lunch. You can now understand why many consider the ocean cruising grounds from Olympia Washington up into northern coastal Alaska, including BC, to be some of the finest marine cruising in the world, but definitely north America.

[@FASDND]

thank you to @ExpeditionEvans and @OffGridLife for sharing their life journey with us.

[@arthurdentau]

Hi Guys, Jake & Nicole are amazing, been watching since they started the Yurt, been with you guys since you bought the boat, Two amazing & hard working couples, I never thought you would link up, But obviously you did, you seemed to love the experience, as you said, Maybe in the future it could be for you ?? Was a good video, also to see J&N's place from a different point of view. Cheers guys

[@jillstephens630]

100 % Jade.....this is by far one of the most beautiful places in the world!

[@jillstephens630]

Brett, you can fly a sea plane in and out of these areas with ease....lots of pilots needed to fly into remote areas along our coast!

[@Erica_Brenda]

I LOVE these Raw & UNFILTERED videos you do! THANK you!!!!

[@eclwallart8398]

Yep, the daily shows were great. Unique and informative. I will be honest I might need a therapist after binge watching your shows. Keep them coming.n

[@tomkemp9465]

This is fun and very impressive, but I think after those wonderful cross-Atlantic videos, many of us were hoping to watch as you continue to Europe and explore there, with the dogs and Ayanna. Will you still be doing that, once Ayanna has replaced the sails and refettled the boat?

[@PlainStraightShooter]

Been following those two since they barely got the carport built after getting there. Jake is a incredible gardener. Nichole is also a very intelligent young lady with so many skills. They make the perfect pair off grid. I think you two would be great doing the same. Maybe you need to find a place close to Jake and Nichole. Hey, at least a off grid home and y’all could do some trade off to sail.

[@williesful]

Wow, haven’t seen any of Jake and Nicole’s vids for ages. Was very impressive seeing them start from nothing battling the rain, milling the timber, building the gardens and kitchen area. Jake is a very talented builder. Can’t believe where they are at now and even having a tractor 😀Thank you for the content team

[@michaelggraham]

Contrasting life styles for sure. And Jade…wow your hair. Soon we’ll call you Rapunzel.

[@noblevanity8123]

Y’all are so wholesome! It is always a pleasure to watch what you share with us.

[@Steve-Debs]

Wow, loved this, the sound with the casual conversations in the background was great. So relaxing to watch. Keep it up guys

[@dmoss1285]

what a epic adventure with 2 of the best channels out there. Makes you really appreciate both ways of life. Very different yet similar in many ways.

[@jasonpacific111]

So Wonderful 🏅🏅Two optimal living couples sharing their magic.

[@jackiegaudette6225]

We have such an amazing country ! So glad your getting to enjoy a piece of it !

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video guys!! Super cool camp for sure! The welcome back home was really Epic!!!!

[@danburbank3826]

As a live-aboard, I can totally buy into this experience. As a Canadian, even more. Keep on your journey!

[@richb313]

Such cool people adapting to that life style and letting you stay with them.

[@lotusdolphin]

This was such a beautiful video. I loved their property. Living off grid. Is it from Mendes amount of work. But very rewarding. It looks like. What an incredible couple and what an experience. Thank you for taking us into their world. Sending much love to you both. 🤗💜😎🤟🏻🫶⛵️🇺🇸🐬

[@mikemoxley9477]

GREAT second part to a SUPER visit.

[@CynicalKnight]

If you want the most otherworldy BC experience that is relatively easy to access, visit Haida Gwaii, specifically Tow Hill and North Beach. Spend an hour or two scrambling over the massive jungle deadfall in Naikoon Provincial Park. It's like travelling very, very far back in time and will make you feel very small in a primordial world, like a tasty bug.

[@crispinswainstonharrison9042]

Stunning. jade should really have her own Vimeo channel.

[@torresdelpaine8888]

Very cool video. Subscribed from central Canada. Have been watching both channels “Expedition Evans “ and “Jake and Nicole” for several years now. British Columbia is indeed extremely beautiful. My favourite place on Earth. Glad you both joined up and were able to meet and get to consult on each other”s expertise. Love that you came to Canada, and hope you will eventually want to come back. But the sea waits too, so this is a great opportunity to experience something different for mental health, and to keep you grounded and excited. Awesome guys. Keep things coming!

[@macandtreez]

Jade and Nicolle are going to dye…. garments. That pause Brett did killed me 😂

[@alalakal]

I LOVED seeing this collab ❤️ Been watching Jake & Nicole for a few years now and don’t really see collabs on their channel.

[@kentfisher10]

loved the video, what a perfect match with jake and nicole.

[@mv.alibiii4685]

I love your channel for sailing but welcome to BC and I will follow you guys any where you decide because you guys are real. !!!!! Just a guy from BC. By the way you are always welcome ❤

[@SaYeager]

That was good. I've been watching Jake and Nicole for years and they have come a long way through a ton of work.

[@peggystephens4703]

It was nice to see your version. I’ve watched Jake even before He was with Nicole. I love watching Jake and Nicole and I’ve just joined your channel now too. Glad you had a great time with them. They are inspiring.

[@brentclarke1841]

Bravo always nice to experience nature 👍⛵👍

[@ceschias3733]

Beatiful change of scenary, same beauty on Jade eyes and smile. Miss her sister Ayana. Love OsoYolo, Anigua Guatemala.

[@brandonshehow]

[@kimhadley]

Wonderful glimpse into your future life. Follow jake and Nicolle as well so always fun to see connections and conversations

[@kevindavis7732]

Outstanding. Beautiful. Words don’t describe enough.

[@cindyscheepsma7966]

I have been watching Jake and Nicolle for so long....can't believe you are both together.

[@FarmergirlJess]

beautiful life

[@jimgarvin9159]

Thanks for your sharing this with us. I started watching their channel before I found yours They were working on their sailboat which is what caught my attention and instantly was watching all the videos I could from the start just like I did with y’all. Small World!!!!! Thanks Again.

[@yolandaalonzo5869]

I love to see fox for living along with his parents he is very social, nice visit from you new friends big hug 🤗 ❤

[@mykgrauss9872]

[@SiddyE]

I’m so glad you guys became friends and connected with Nicolle and Jake! I used to watch them but after a purge of my Subscriptions I unsubscribed and forgot about them. After watching your videos I was able to find them again and resubscribe.

[@willmills1388]

Welcome to the canadian forests!!!

[@Windsailsanddogtails]

Love your content so much! My wife and I just bought a boat and we have two dogs!!!

[@PCStuart1]

Hi guys, I have been watching Jake and Nicole since their beginning, they are inspirational for sure. There is a bunch of similar channels, but I really like them, cool.

[@alicehall5102]

Hello guys, I found you on KZbin, I could spend a whole day watching you. You are smart to do this, as the world is changing so much. Sending blessings. Your son Fox is beautiful I am from Ohio

[@Roskellan]

I see seals often close to where I live. Sometimes they don't go anywhere just bobbing up and down, that's because they are sleeping.

[@LezbollahMothra]

Your videos are always so comfortable & soothing to watch

[@marvinberesford8146]

I think I watched them build their yurt years ago. Lovely collaboration!

[@paulstephens5229]

Thanks

[@Alieombaba]

So nice to see you at our friends place! Look forward to checking more of tour channel out ❤ thanks for sharing your trips ❤

[@victoriapayton3447]

You both have your own way of getting off grid, with 2 very distinct personality’s, luckily we can choose 😌

[@zsaiya]

The water sounds on the giant log is amazingly satisfying that stims my brain 😮

[@mikefetterman6782]

I live across the Salish sea here in Port Angeles WA, on the Olympic Peninsula. This area is the most beautiful area on the planet.

[@merislaw1987]

AAAAA I CANT BELIEVE TWO OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS WOULD EVER COLAB LIKE THIS 🥰

[@charteryachtsmiami]

beautiful. most posh off grid ive ever seen, but nothing wrong with that! as above, so below. congrats!

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us !! ❤✌🏼😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@RichardSwinton]

did i mention i live in western British Columbia. we are burning now. forest fires all around. glad to see u guys

[@chuckchristy]

I watched Jake and Nicole start up and your start up. Good luck to the both of you.

[@dannyfisher9223]

That was so good to see you guy's there with Jake n Nicole I've been watching them from the start and to see you all together was awesome

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

What an amazing family and place ❤! Friends for life I’m sure. Jade looks so Cute in Clothes and shoes 😂😂😂😂. Thank you for bringing us along with you for this fantastic trip. You’re Definitely in God’s Country. Safe travels and keep healthy. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@chrismcconnell6163]

I was getting nervous, as I kept waiting on Fox, to jump in, and nobody, could have stopped him.

[@elzamiller]

So wild to see you guys visiting Jake and Nichole because I follow both of your channels.

[@dashaivanova5085]

Fantastic video.Thank you for sharing.

[@susansharp112]

So great to share your worlds

[@trysh37g]

Amazing video! I loved every second. Didn't want it to end. Thank You! 🌹

[@lulujeffers]

been following Jake an Nichole for long time way before baby fox came along i just love baby fox he's the cutiest baby

[@sharilynunthank6874]

Loved the experience out there in BC but my favorite part of video might be the dogs reaction on your return!!

[@pkane5472]

The return "home" was so fun to watch!

[@donaldbrown9437]

Real interesting! Little different from your normal videos! Look forward to seeing you back on the water! 😊

[@lkm5462]

Huge difference between subsistence and thriving. Living in the woods ,making your way is subsistence unless you can make/ grow a product that allows you to thrive

[@davidbonet578]

You need a splitting wedge. Start a splitting wedge and drive it in with the back of the axe. Makes life easy.

[@anthonyscolyer2444]

Those hot water heaters fired up with wood we call donkey heaters here in Aus. It was all you had on farms where no electricity was or you are on bore water that normal hot water storage cylinders blocked up with due to content of the bore water. Nice van to have too, a Mitsi Delica with a 2.8 turbo diesel. Economical and simple!

[@truman42746]

That was a fun video. I really enjoyed it. I could so live like that but my wife would leave me in a heartbeat. She has to have her air conditioning running water without having to pump it and most of all a bathroom. No going in the woods or an outdoor toilet. Looking forward to the next one. You guys are the best!

[@DpetersonRacing]

This was an absolutely awesome episode

[@Kofi.86]

I have been following her host for a while now. Anything like this always caught my attention and I just find ur channel 🤙🏿

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Welcome aboard!

[@krystynadawson3318]

Enjoyed your episode with Jake and Nicole! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us! Krystyna in rural Wisc

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

I wish i could get my wife to give up all the goodies and live like this. We are half way there but not close enough.

[@PaulGriffith]

I've already subscribed to OffGridLife. I followed their house build.

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

On grid / off grid - you gotta do YOU, right? I would love to disconnect, as long as the right person is connected with me, in said disconnection :) ...Missing the wild viking days ❤

[@jonathanvince8173]

Here is the problem with containers as used them for years in the UK. They do not keep in the heat silly people tried to use natural materials as insulation but of course they proved combustible and fires happened. So use none flammable or toxic man made insulation the only way to be safe and NOT fiberglass types as they are dangerous in many other ways. Some arrive like Bricks easy to cut but need masks and protective glasses to cut them. Windows recommended are double glazed make sure you have two ways out Bolt them together again can use the Brick insulation on the floor with wooden clip together flooring. Ceiling use at least 3 ply with special paint to stop mold. As steal containers sweat and cause mold. so all wood must be treated to stop moisture and mold. Just a suggestion.
