These cottage videos are probably my favorite of all the video series - although watching the jeep go through Africa will be great too! Lando clearly remembers the cottage and feels like that place is his home. What a reaction whenever he returns to it.

[@FoodandOtherPassions]

SOOO Good to "be back at the cabin" again. It's beautiful the way your neighbor getting that fan boat worked to help you out. Love your adventures, but the cabin and your life there is a different kind of special. A peaceful "home" feeling we share with you. Thanks for letting us in. ❤

[@azdesertrat9104]

What an amazing group of people who support you all! That painting of Lando and the kind neighbor with the fan boat, what a great gift to have such people in your lives! There's no place like home (and I could see that all over Lando's face as he was napping in the sun!) 😊

[@Whistler326]

Please hit that like button...I know there are thousands watching (OMG...series is so good...looking forward to more of the CABIN series....everything they produce is so well produced and the hard work putting in editing and videoing is well worth your time....Cheers, 1000 islands Canada!!!

[@debbiblakeslee]

I always hit that button before I watch 🤗💚

[@houstontexas4658]

Ahhhh, awesomeness, back on the island!! Dan holding Lando and Lando basking in the sun on his island makes for a perfect Sunday morning. Your island, my favorite place!

[@EFRT]

So happy to be here!

[@jananddanet]

Welcome back! My wife and I also live on an island not too far from you guys. However, we do have hydro. We spend winters in Cuba. And we also return in March and most often get back to the island by scoot (fan boat). Anyway, regarding your freezer... We leave a freezer full of food in a closet and cover the closet door with thick quilted blankets over the closet door. We keep a small space heater going on low through the winter months in that closet because if a freezer is left in below zero temperatures, it can work in reverse and melt the contents of the freezer. So your food can melt and then refreeze depending on the temperature fluctuations in your power room. We always fill a small plastic juice glass with water leave it in the freezer. After the water turns to ice, we place a coin on top of the ice in the glass. If the coin is still on top when we return, we know that nothing melted and refroze. Really enjoyed your video. We feel the same as you when we return and find everything just the way we left it. Two thumbs up!

[@waltmoore3095]

Great idea!

[@EFRT]

That is such a good idea. We are definitely going to use these tips. Thank you!!

[@leilawitherspoon503]

what is the name of the islands ?

[@albertorauber5165]

Hello from Germany, once again. I really enjoyed your "coming home episode". We travelled the US and Canada for 6 months last year with our tiny 4x4 pickup camper and now it's twice the pleasure to follow you on your weekly episodes. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish a lot of health to all of your family and of course to all your followers, so we can all enjoy a lot more episodes!

[@vickiesizemore6486]

I always love it when you guys go back to your cabin I can imagine how peaceful it is there

[@geroldknoebel3836]

I can well understand that when you come back home after a few months. I myself spent over 40 years working all over the world in refineries, chemical plants, power stations and in the oil and gas industry. I was still traveling in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Romania and Arab countries at the age of 65 in 2018. That's how a senior site manager and senior engineer feels when he's on the job. Have a great time, visit Shawn in his wilderness when the weather permits. Greetings from Frankfurt.

[@jillwonderly4841]

Hey, I just want to give Pete Jr kudos for filming the XOverland African Series. What a great talent!

[@francelanoue1292]

Welcome home ! What a journey you had 4 months is a lot of time away from your beautiful place ! I 'm happy to see you back and safe! Now you can relax and do everything you whant ! 😊❤

[@kimhastie5440]

I love watching all the videos when you guys are out exploring in the Jeep and camper but something about watching these videos at the cabin makes me feel so serene and happy.

[@Whistler326]

P.s LOVE your community that is always there for you guys and vice versa....that FAN boat was Clutch and his kindness fills this heart!! Always wonder how people would stay on an island full time in winter....NOW we know and your quiver of equipment will grow further...omg!!!

[@kristenleblond5047]

The sketch of Lando is beautiful. Very talented artist!!!

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

PS PS PS 💥How long did it take for the fan boat trip to reach your island please ????? What an awesome neighbour and what an awesome boat he has !!!! That final trip with Mum and the camera was unreal..... Thankyou !!!!! Thats the only way I'll ever experience a trip like that and it was simply unforgettable!!!!! I salute you all and THANKYOU DAN for giving us all the ride of our lives 👋👋👋please be sure to express our gratitude to Dan For ferrying y'all home safely. 👏👏🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️✝️🇨🇦

[@EFRT]

You’re welcome. We will let Dan know. He’s such a great neighbour!

[@jeremywood2584]

A small job idea for the boys, you already have a barge, just need an aero engine and prop, some extra metal for building up the scuppers and material for an engine cage for safety.

[@jf5336]

In Texas, Louisiana and the South, we call that boat an "air boat" Noisy, but gets the job done in places a submerged propeller won't work. Glad you all got home safely.

[@markgosser9578]

Lando is an awesome dog, he looks so happy to be back on the island. So nice for your subscriber to give a print of lando. Enjoy your time at your home!

[@bonniejohnston7305]

Carol, I LOVE that your dimples carried over to your youngins' 🤗

[@robertklinker3237]

Diane here: U all must get fan boat; so happy 4 u all; magnificent loving portrait; so love u each + all--truly u'all r my kind of needed family

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

I’m so happy to be back to the cabin it was a great trip but the island is so beautiful, the ice, pine trees and the sunset I’m happy to see our new adventures ❤

[@lacylobdell7455]

In south Louisiana, we call those air boats and they’re FUN! But if you get one, PLEASE consider getting one with a cage around the fan blade. So much can go wrong on the water and it would simply be a disaster. Also, one way to always know if you lost power to the freezer is to freeze a small cup filled halfway w water. Place a quarter on top of it frozen, place the cup in the freezer and you can always see if the quarter remains on top - or did it partially sink and is refrozen? That means that power was lost but came back on ‘at some point’.

[@sandralnwebster3204]

It's great to go away and travel, but it's sure nice to come back home!😊

[@Julie-g3u]

Your face says it all Carol. Am sorry girl I had to laugh. Even Lando was very unsure was glad to get off. You have a great time on your Island. You will be able get 🍁 Maple Syrup & get yr smoker going. Cheers NZ

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always EFRT. The Cabin series is going to be so epic can't wait to see more awesome trails and epic places. Thanks for letting us ride along with y'all on y'all's adventures.

[@EFRT]

You’re welcome.

[@robertklinker3237]

truly very gifted+ talented artist + person, God's blessings

[@johnmollet6897]

Absolutely awesome beautiful country. We are going next week six hours north to northern Michigan to open our cabin. I’m sure there’s still ice on our lake as well.

[@MrWinger1951]

Structurally that fan boat looks to leave a lot to be desired. The drawing of Lando is very impressive.

[@franknovak4817]

Sand boat is a new one to me. I've known about them for a long time but, we know them as Air boats. Looks like something to come in handy. Enjoy your time at the cabin!

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

@franknovak4817 A FAN BOAT ...... It's driven by a huge fan.

[@franknovak4817]

@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Looked Air Boat up. Lots a different ones to choose from. Anything from a one seater to several. Small horsepower up to what you need. Airplane prop to push you along. Cool looking.

[@MrPBurkett]

Thank you for another wonderful video. When we go away for an extended period of time, we place a bowl with a few ice cubes into the freezer. If we come home, and the ice cubes are gone and there is either water or flat ice in the bowl, we know that the freezer was off at some point and we need to inspect the food for spoilage.

[@dedwin8930]

The second I see Lando I have the biggest smile!!!! Desert or cabin!! Remember you cant please everyone!🇺🇸 Art work of Lando was fantastic... All the detail and names etc.......

[@ifish5409]

Put a plastic cup of water in your freezer and let it freeze. Once frozen put a quarter on top of it and place back in the freezer. When you come back from an extended time away as long as that quarter is on top of the ice then the freezer never lost power. If it’s at the bottom or lower than the top then it melted and refrozen which means your meat is probably bad. Tip from Florida!

[@barbmcnaughton6119]

Welcome back! Looking forward to watching the ice leave through your videoS!

[@timberdogz]

Geat seeing you back at the cabin! Looking forward to your adventures there!

[@395jnky]

Fantastic video. I can only imagine how wonderful it was to walk back thru the cabin door after such a long journey back! Enjoy your spring and welcome back home! Look forward to watching the next one! Until then, Happy Trails!

[@hugeblue]

4/9/24 - Hope you guys get you an "Air Boat" ? Perfect for your use on the lake! Your good friend sure saved the day!

[@janet33465]

So happy you all back home safely, fan boat handy but so noisy for such a beautiful serene surrounding, but getting in and out especially if an emergency makes it a necessity I guess. Love love the drawing of Lando, beautifully done. Welcome home everyone 😊

[@toniarnold2748]

Welcome home guys .... big fan from Michigan!!!

[@lakelady2194]

Love the cottage episodes, hope to see many more.

[@vernareed2692]

Wow 😳 that fan boat is awesome!!

[@jillwonderly4841]

Outstanding video! There's no place like home! Thank you for taking us along!

[@reneepowell8541]

Glad you made it to the cabin safe and sound, it's always good to get home after being away! Glad everything was in good shape when you returned. We have airboats galore where we live on the Texas gulf coast for navigating through all the marshland and shallow bays. They're so practical, we just don't like it when some folks get to joy riding in the middle of the night...so loud! Hope you enjoy some relaxing downtime at home.

[@Barret-paddles]

So great to see you back at the cabin!! What am amazing place it is 💜

[@jaeljeremano1151]

Welcome home! Cheers from Manitoba ❤

[@MsLin-u5v]

Beautiful picture of Lando and the ribs look great.😊

[@Nancy-m3o5p]

So happy to see you guys are safe back on the island. I would never leave it if I lived there,lol.Its beautiful and looks peaceful there. Happy Birthday Peter. Keep posting already looking forward to the adventures on your island . So happy no food got ruined. God bless you guys.

[@kristenleblond5047]

That boat is super cool!!! I think I have seen an ice boat around our neck of the woods. I live in central MA and we have a lot of lakes around us.

[@scottanderson2980]

my favorite times i like watching is the time you guys spend at the cottage

[@Msdrivensoul]

I really enjoy the cottage episodes

[@hopem8184]

[@erikcele1604]

Cool with the fanboat and welcome to home sweet home! ❤️👍 Take some rest now for you next adventure coming up soon right! Untill then rekax and injoy!

[@elaineflynn2862]

I travel by scoot to my cottage in the winter. It’s a great idea to use ear protection always..especially on Lando.

[@Whistler326]

Lastly....that pencil drawing of Lando will be a family keep sake ....to say the least!! Kudos for Overland Beast ( I will be checking him out thats for sure!! Warmest of regards from this cozy coffee watching fan!!

[@EFRT]

Will look into that. Thanks
