Untouched Wilderness Property! What would you do with it?

We did it! We bought a small (5 acres) piece of wilderness property..... on an island!
What would you do with it?
We've never actually seen it, so today we're snowshoeing in to it for the first time.
Check out the cool things the girls have been making on our website:
www.gridlessne...
and on IG: / gridlessness
Would you ever buy a remote wilderness property? Do you think we're crazy or brilliant? Let us know, leave a comment, subscribe and join the adventure.

[@fouracrefamily9801]

Open a Tim Hortons?

[@Gridlessness]

Your right, we passed a couple on our way into the property, but there wasn’t one ON the property....yet!

[@lalruatdikavarte7943]

Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.

[@donniev8181]

Fishing cabin definitely.

[@Mynameisthesenuts49]

An American company bought it..

[@moegardner1]

Timmie's ! Sure! Could put in a float thru.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

The possibilities are endless!! First a trail system. Then, a log cabin for hunting/getaways. Turn all the beetle kill into firewood. Seed a food plot in a clearing to attract elk. Make a small launch pad for Kez's drone operations. Invite special guests. Have your guests run around and kill all of the mosquitoes. Live happily ever after.

[@deer-theotherredmeat2502]

I had to laugh when Rose said, I ain't hugging that tree; thiers sap..my mind immediately said, well you hug Jeff he's a sap...lol Awesome island for sure

[@bryanpaynechefbrybry1067]

Thank you guys.. The whole family.. Just thanks.. The smiles you bring with your enthusiasm is the best.. ❤❤

[@deborahmarlewski6786]

Short term a tepee for shelter. Long term, a small hunting cabin for short overnight trips. A cache on stilts to keep supplies away from critters. Good luck, looks like fun times

[@Longtrailside]

And a out house.

[@scottbultitude2526]

You would have to be one of the most genuine uplifting loving family I've seen I love every update thank you for the adventure

[@onewhitestone]

I bought 8 acres 3 yrs ago. I cut firewood and grow crops on it. I also put up some small buildings to hang out in and hunt. So if I were you, I would build a cabin to stay in and a nice clearing near the river for fishing and camping. Dont forget the all important, outhouse. That is normally the first item built. Good luck with it and enjoy it.

[@LumnahAcres]

Congrats on the new property! Cant wait to see all the adventures you and the families have!

[@JamesCouch777]

We were starting to worry about y'all. Good to see you out and about 👍😁

[@rayleo529]

Cabin....outdoor kitchen...outhouse....wood storage shed....tree house.....the list goes on. Nice place.

[@jessepitt]

My dream home has always been a dirt floor log cabin. One room.

[@tuddsmithers7101]

I would improve a small part of it so that I could stay on it for a week or two at a time. It’s wild and unique, untouched, you don’t want to change those things.

[@steventwist2549]

You should have a Gridlessness Flag so you could stake your claim.

[@paulsheridan8213]

I’d fly one of those at my house!!

[@sandyc6569]

👍

[@ronalddelong2190]

A perfect place to make a giant treehouse! Looking forward to future visits to this new property! Enjoy!

[@CoderToHomesteader]

I'm only just starting my KZbin journey with my 3.3 acres of land and I can't believe what a mad man you are for getting more land and in a more remote area! Hats off to you. In terms of what to do I highly suggest at least attempting a tree house considering that area probably every so often at least gets some inland floods and you have quality trees there.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Are you closing ❓I would want to subscribe.

[@CoderToHomesteader]

@@evalinawarne1337 We've closed on the land but haven't done anything with it yet. You can subscribe, I try to post weekly related to the land, the journey or general homesteading.

[@phipmarchum3825]

A fun day if nothing more ! Could be a nice fishing camp !

[@dianasullivan5579]

I love how you are raising your family in a gridlessness way but still use modern items such as gps, drones etc. Your girls are going to be so self sufficient in their lives!!

[@throngcleaver]

Great video, but Keziah's drone footage says it all. Perfect, peaceful place. More, please! I'm so happy for you guys! To answer your question as to what to do with it: Whatever pleases YOU. Thanks for sharing your lives and adventures with us!

[@robertaxford7527]

When rose returned your bull moose call with a cow moose call made me smile all day you too are awesome makes me proud to be Canadian all the best from alberta Canada 🇨🇦

[@doraweaver8047]

Treehouse and it can be your tree stand also🤠😎

[@heathero8980]

Make an Airbnb with it. Or provide a gridless “experience “ for us to visit 😄. You look so happy, congratulations on your newest adventure.

[@markogronfors3826]

Let it be like that.But how about a bushcratf base? Where you can do any forest activity Camping.Chilling....You name it

[@davidmerkel1874]

Unlimited ideas ,great adventure starts again

[@iantuck6364]

I like the part where you are hunting for women and you spot your wife and say, "Look at that one, she's perfect." Truer spoken word would be hard to find.

[@rosemariegarrison4487]

You guys we love your family. Please make more videos we love them. You girls are so smart. Mom and Dad are fantastic parents. Love you guys teaching them how to survive. Smart family

[@chriswolfs2306]

I'm thinking a tree house with running water from the creek. Oh and an extra long drop in tree outhouse!!!! Top it off with a Hot Dave blaze king.

[@eugeneconner6934]

Enjoyed the video as always...the drone footage is great.

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

you guys will have a blast out at the island doing whatever you want to do, I've been going to my family's island cabin only its on a lake for about 40 years now and it never gets old being out there and there are no other cabins around the area or on the lake, pure Canadian freedom Gridlessness wilderness

[@davidgarrison5270]

I would build a cabin, but elevated to just past where if you did have the 1000 year flood, you stay dry. What an awesome place!!

[@jessehayes486]

What would you do? "The possibilities are endless " is the attitude we all need to adopt. Love y'all.

[@waynekerrgoodstyle]

That looks like a new adventure in progress. Kezia's drone footage just adds to the already great footage. And also, I still have my Keychain.

[@edrobbins1146]

I love it. I would take that Island and make a cable bridge high enough to escape the floods and make it a little more accessible . Maybe wide enough to take the 4 wheelers across.Or just a really sweet cable pulley ride to pull yourself across. And if you want to adopt a Uncle Ed I would love to go on a Adventure Island trip.

[@tombulger]

I was going to suggest the same thing but then I realized that that is a bad idea. If they put a bridge or something in the they would have more people coming on to their land doing what ever they want to do and not caring that it belongs to someone else. No bridge keeps it remote for sure. Just my thought on this. But have to say that it is going to be really interesting to see what they do with the land on Adventure Island. :-)

[@kenchafin9890]

Build TeePee (Tipi). You have everything you need on the Island but the rope and Canvass. 10 X 20 painters tarp is under $100. Carry your home out in your backpack. So much fun painting and constructing too. Talk about a learning experience for a family.

[@akashvarma1198]

I wish i could lead a life like you. I wish your channel lots of success and a happy family life. Watching each of your videos far away from Mauritius Island.

[@liveworkplaywilderness1877]

Congratulations on the piece of wilderness you most likely know if there is only one or two of you crossing ice carry a big stick it will save you if you go swimming . GTG we are just getting ready to head to our wilderness property in the Caribou. check it out

[@ALDI_777]

Wow... Amazing Adventure story

[@Makete100]

Make a cord wood cabin with 24 inch thick walls. Make sure you have a big porch and lots of windows around the cabin.

[@smokeymacpot76]

youtubes fav familly keep it goin guys ..and girls :)

[@paulws58]

I liked the drone footage. I have missed your family. God bless.

[@christineprestigiacomo3235]

Lol,Dave I had 2 laugh u going down the hill in slow motion..😂😂 Congrats on the new forest.Cant wait to watch new ADVENTURES!!

[@joannak4640]

Very exciting!! Can't wait to see what you do ❤️

[@tinafortin8958]

Wow you guys so Happy for you all 👍😊 CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 Looking forward to what you will he be partaking on Adventure Island ☺️

[@saskatchewanlady2723]

Mine is kind of a two parter. Build a pond that is fed by the river so you have a source for big ice blocks in the spring. Also build an ice house for those ice blocks in sawdust so you can keep food and beer in it Eh 😉 not to mention a good locker for fish and other meat you may acquire. I thought for sure that you would do the ice block thing with your skating rink this year. Zero electricity. Love your videos. And especially love Jeff and Rose calling to each other at the end there.

[@Victorialands]

Moonshine! Looks like you’ve got great water 😆

[@speedbuggie]

So Awesome! Congats! on the new place I look forward to the many new vids on adventure island!

[@toothaching]

Place is perfect for an epic tree house .. So much fun ^_^ Thank you for sharing

[@andrewgerling4245]

You guys always make me smile. Keep up the good work!

[@oakleyjack7600]

Build a “Swiss Family Robinson” tree house, improving and adding on to it a little every year ! On the other side of the coin tho is people could homestead on it or cause damage, theft or even fire, so if it’s not close enough to check on frequently plan accordingly. Happy for your family and I know your whole family will make something great out of it.👍

[@resistantgeordie2636]

Looks gorgeous!! Raised platform and wall tent! For starters

[@kevintulak9987]

I am jealous, do you need a neighbour (I can shoot straight)? Have to build a cabin with a stone foundation that will last for an eternity so that future generations can find it and create stories about the forefathers that lived there in frontier times. It is a good thing you know someone with a dog sled that can haul stuff out for you when the ground is covered in snow. This is still my dream, and I am old. Enjoy it and thanks for sharing.

[@timrunkle5636]

WOW!! I'M SO OOOOooooo HAPPY! FOR YOU GUYS. YOU ALL DESERVE IT FOR YOUR HARD WORK, SACRIFICES AND DEVOTION TO CLEAN LIVING. I would turn that island into a FANTASY-CAMP! #1.- HAND BUILD A STONE HUNTING CABIN/HOUSE, WITH FIREPLACE, CHIMNEY, AND CEDAR-SHAKE OR SLATE ROOF (Im a u.s. air force veteran , and semi retired career roofer and stone mason....hint- hint.... think you could use my help w that... 🤔.?!) #2. Create the most AWESOME ZIP-LINE COURSE! - spanning the outer edges of the property- with epic views of both (sides of) rivers! Could use several larger block and tackle systems (pulleys)with a standing platform n safety railing, and mechanical gears as an ever constantly-reliable, manual elevator (at the ground base, of each top Zipline run start location). IMAGINE how sick! That course would be, taking off from the tops of some of those giant behemoths! 3. RIVER RAFTING BASE AND PERMANENT STRUCTURAL BOATING DOCK AND CANOE RAMPS A MUST! JUST THE BASICS TO START WITH, BUT I COULD GO ON AND ON .....!! PLEASE CONSIDER 🎇❣️🎉 CREATING A CONTEST OR RANDOM, OR EVEN (SECRETLY) CHOSEN RAFFLE PRIZE, FOR AN "ISLAND ADVENTURE" ,🌲🌊 (love it, Rose!) TRIP FOR 1 For 2 of US and a guest,, (pick me please!) or even 2 COUPLES,.--. So someone SUPER LUCKY!! WOULD GET A 30-DAY CHANCE OF A LIFETIME, SUMMERTIME (("FANTASY ISLAND EXPERIENCE ")) IN BEAUTIFUL B.C. GETTING TO MEET YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY, AND GETTING TO EXPERIENCE FOR JUST A FEW WEEKS, WHAT YOU GUYS GET TO ENJOY AS "EVERYDAY LIFE"!! AND TO GET THE CHANCE TO CREATE SOME "AWESOME ADVENTURE" MEMORIES WITH YOU ALL, TO BRING BACK HOME WITH US AND TO KEEP SACRED FOR A LIFETIME.... PALLEESE???? HUNTING, FISHING, CAMPING, PROSPECTING, EXPLORING, PHOTOGRAPHING WILDLIFE AND NATURE, --- WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT??❣️ YOU ALL-Timothy 🌲🏊🚴🌹🧗👣🌲

[@mathassu4701]

Abby's voice is changing; it's getting even more beautiful (her voice).

[@lisapardue1197]

you all are going to have so much fun.

[@papasbackyardgardenhavingf4468]

When you are excited, you make me excited also. Thanks for your positive attitudes. Thank You

[@sandyc6569]

👍

[@lesthompson5907]

i think a trizonal log cabin. or sawn beam cabin. there is some good timber to do it with. yes say a log cabin. with good size rooms.

[@sylviashively1655]

I think the purchase is brilliant. We would do that. And play and play. The adventure will unfold over time.

[@peterblackford8389]

I'd build the basics and enjoy the bush the way it is. Cheers blackie 👍 🇦🇺

[@donbowersock9564]

Fantastic as always. Tree House with lower level.

[@MikeSiemens88]

Yes, leather products are top notch. Loving my ammo pouch. I already have a leather key chain, but it's gettin' pretty old.... might be in the market for a new one soon...

[@haqnawazafridi9689]

I really and truly appreciate your all efforts, how u managed and faced all problems and built a new life and a beautiful family in a wild... No doubt u struggled a lot but finally u did it.. u and your whole family should be proud... Respect for all of you...

[@kresimirbazijanec3730]

Just saw your new island getaway propertie, you were asking for suggestions on what to do with or on it, spring and summer panning for GOLD would be great. Thank you for sharing with us your adventures the tears and laughter hunting and fishing, God's Blessings to all of you aswell for Dave and his family Thank you

[@michelewalters9421]

Adventure island… Untouched wilderness… Bear, elk, wild fish in the nearby streams… And the mating calls of Jeff and Rose!! A true Canadian experience!!

[@teresafarley3838]

If it were me and I already had a gridless home, Adventure Island would be just that... Adventure Island! First, a cabin(s) with maybe stilts or far enough back for the 200yr flood then a tree stand for meats, and let the adventures begin! Fish camp, hunting camp, gold camp, forage camp, "just because" camp, the kids could have trapping camp the adults could have some kid-less camp time! OH! Maybe a guided tour type thing or bring people there to experience gridless camp! I loved the moose calling! That was awesome! Jeff, Rose, you're too precious! Dave, you and your family are great! Someday I wanna be like y'all! Let us know what you decide and bring us along on the growth of Adventure Island! Please?! Thank you, as always to include us!

[@albertalakeland]

Congratulations on 10 years of a better life.

[@rosemariegarrison4487]

You guys are so much fun to watch I get excited watching your adventures. Congratulations

[@sylviashively1655]

Love the enthusiasm. Beautiful piece of land. So happy for you guys. Can't wait to see what you do there.

[@kpattenvan]

What a neat spot! Exciting guys! Rose, i laughed so hard when you cow called him back. Perfect! Hahahaha

[@sandyc6569]

So exciting!!! Congrats!! 👍💞💝💞👍

[@oreopuppydawg1564]

I would love and protect it while living on it.

[@rickholloway5218]

First off, what a fun video, and congrats on the new property! You all will definitely have some great adventures there, so Adventure Island fits it, perfectly! Jeff, I think you mentioned about everything that I was thinking were possibilities for you all to do, there. Build a cabin to stay in while hunting and trapping in the winter, and for fishing and prospecting in the summer.

[@davidraines2873]

Everything you said you could do there I was saying yeah you should do that. So what ever you do I will love it.

[@littlefarmer32]

Wow congratulations on the new property. Fresh flowing water,, endless fresh food,, love the life you have built for your family. My wife and I have been looking for a better life, quite difficult to find raw, untouched land in north central ALBERTA

[@agirlandhercows501]

wow look at all that snow

[@IkonicLionProductions]

Sweet to see you all having fun.

[@corporalbloggins1069]

Thank you for another great video. Congratulations on your new property, I hope you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Looks like everyone had fun which is always good to see. Oh, one more thing if I may. I wanted to say that Julia is gorgeous. Take care all.

[@mikebeatstsb7030]

Best show ever

[@terryteague6226]

Man, how are you going to get a sawmill out there? Those huge standing dead trees.....beautiful lumber!

[@xXelitegpXx]

Take it apart and pack it in piece by piece 😳

[@reubenvanlalsawma9519]

Build a cabin from stone and wood,,,with a nice and simple design...

[@attiliopampanin9503]

What ever you build you should put it on stilts. Three to five feet off the ground. Good Luck

[@lindaw4532]

Congratulations on the island property. I am looking forward to seeing your new adventures. It would be interesting to have any of your girls start their own channel(s) to see life from their perspectives, particularly with Kez honing her drone skills. I haven’t found videos from off grid kids and their own age groups might really relate to this. I also have one of your spatulas and use it all the time.

[@MissAuckland]

"Its Gridlessness ahh . . ." - .COM dude!!! Lol that's why you guys are awesome.

[@lhenry8310]

50 foot tall fire tower type cabin with a zip line across the property

[@carlnelson7358]

You guys are hilarious! Love your channel!

[@omarz11]

How about a zip line from the property over the river? that will be fun.

[@TheBereangirl]

Lol...the elk that watched you from afar... "Uh...there goes the neighborhood."😏😂

[@xxkasperxx]

Elevated house for sure! If you can get high enough for a rooftop deck to get a view ..would be really cool!

[@truththe1689]

For me it's very clear, A treehouse ! 🌲🏞🏡

[@nucopia]

2 hectares is nice piece of land ..thanks for sharing

[@maneuschwander6394]

A great location for hunting, fishing, and relaxing! A small two story cabin - with a hunting lookout built in! :)

[@j.j.breland1164]

Lots of Awesomeness! ☀️🌴👣🍷

[@saskcop416]

I would establish a well groomed campsite, but I wouldn't bother with a cabin. The campsite would keep everything wild and would allow you to use it as a base of operations for hunting, fishing or just getting away from it all.

[@johnparker-tn1os]

Remember Christopher Robin, were they built their home in the trees but not far off the ground and they used the water for there shower and more or less hydroelectric to rob the fan and do other cool things. Oh man the possibilities are endless. Dreams come true with Gridless. 😎😎😎

[@Nitelite26]

Congrats on the new land from your neighbor in Alberta :)

[@Wolverine_Workout]

Build a integrated Earthen House using timber frame Hobbit Hole dugout into a Hill, be warm in winter and cool in summer. Offer storm safety and hidden from wildlife that will come up close to hunt.

[@frozenpann]

I would build an outpost wilderness adventure.

[@michaelraasch6930]

Build your own little bush craft village. I'll watch all the way

[@davewest1639]

Treehouse is what I'd build

[@richardmccombs617]

I'd build a deck up in trees where I could put a cabin tent on .

[@TheCheslip]

Awesome that a drone was bought with money made! What a smart investment!

[@jasonyang584]

very nice the new property, it's a good hunting camp so you'd better build some wood hunter cabinets, exciting adventures

[@afishingmagician]

Well, that was a fun video! I know in an instant what I would do with such a piece of paradise. I would build a traditional trapper-hunter-fisher log cabin using only the materials available on site, and there appears to be plenty. It would also make a great fall back position should your current site become over-run with wanna-be you-tube addicts, wanting a piece of your life-style! Not me of course, but, you know, just sayin! And without question I would be all over that river with my #4 fly rod in the spring and summer!
