[@906Dreams]

-22C is crunchy cold. We had -2F about a week ago. Still no snow in Milwaukee but we have some ice on the lakes. Hoping for some more cold and thicker ice so I can take my side by side out on the ice and catch some walleye and whitefish. Looks like you guys had some fun.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@906Dreams we want to do some ice fishing too! But didn't trust the lake just yet. Few more weeks and we should be good to go!

I used to use those tools all the time to repair tires.. Perhaps I can say...."YOU NAILED IT"

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Lol we certainly did! AGAIN! 😜 Thanks for watching!

Morning folk. Looks like yas lost a few trees. Lots of fun in the snow. Im hoping for little but we have lots in the highlands. Meal looked tasty.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@@OpenAirAdventure just some more firewood for next year! 😁 Yeah, we loved the snow! Not too much yet that we can't ride the quads out back. Anymore and it will be tricky. Just have to get the snowmobile running and pack down the trails. Thanks for watching Kenny! ✌️🇨🇦♥️❄️

What a great day out on the quads you had some fun for sure , need snow shoes walking off trail now lol. Very relaxing sitting by the fire , great feed too ...perfect shower set up. Hope you have an awesome week my friends.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@tuckerandi lol that branch had it in for him! Yeah we have snow shoes but they were back at the bunkie and we wanted to get to the lake. It actually wasn't too bad. Just in a few spots!

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@karlsoffthegrid1378 absolutely! It was amazing! Yeah, but we have to start heating the shower house up before having showers on the really cold days. Lol. That night wasn't too bad but can't imagine when it gets colder! Thanks for watching my friend! ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸♥️

I love the blue sky and clouds, you got a crust too, its nice the creek at winter and you got some packed trails now, can't beat the wood heat after a day out in the cold, glad you got to enjoy some time out at the cabin, got to love solar lights, have a great week ahead guys.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

It was magical. Such a nice time!

That snow looks so much fun to play in. We only have 2”. That’s it!!

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@mattandmouse wow! Yeah we got a big bunch all in a couple days. Must have melted some by now but we won't be back up again for a few weeks. How are you guys?! We haven't seen a video come out?!

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

Looked like lots of fun. The joys of winter in Northern Ontario. Everything takes longer to do in the winter. I laughed about the sled not starting. I used to own a couple of Arctic Cats and I got good at walking. LOL! Just bugging. They all have issues at times.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@darrendavidsonoutdoors lol! That's awesome. If he really needed it he would have spent more time. But we had more fun on the quads anyway. 😜

[@alaskacutthecord769]

[@maintenancewithmike]

Nails! I have three plugs in one front tire from our construction clean up. I rented a magnet rake and hooked it up to our lawn mower and towed it all around the property. You guys use cable or rope in your winches. I’ve never liked the cable and for the first time I got the rope. So, we’ll see how that lasts. Stay warm!

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@@maintenancewithmike we did get the rope for the winch but just haven't had time to install them. The cables won't last long that's for sure. Already giving us issues! Thanks for watching Mike! ✌️🇨🇦❤️

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Lol!

[@AlaskaMyHeart]

Happy Holidays guys!! Boy oh boy. Why is it that when one must get things done something always goes wrong?! Sorry about that tire. Glad it was able to be fixed. I think the inside of your cabin is so cute. Melting snow on the stove. So cool. I bet those leftovers taste especially tasty on a wood stove. 🤤. Bread and butter with a bit of honey would be my dream! Wish I had snow. I’m sure one day I will have more snow than I can handle until then I will watch from afar. You all take care and have a wonderful upcoming weekend! ♥️

[@OffgridWorld-w7f]

Beautiful property. The obstacles can be frustrating. Why we don't have a tire repair kit is beyond me. We blew so many tires, lol. It is definitely on the list now.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@OffgridWorld-w7f super handy to have! And way cheaper than taking it somewhere to be repaired!

[@OffgridWorld-w7f]

@lorettaandjasonoffgrid The tire place is really good with us but we have to get there 30min drive.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

@OffgridWorld-w7f everything is far for us too. Jason can fix almost anything so we're lucky that way. I'll have to get caught up on your videos. Been super busy packing!

[@OffgridWorld-w7f]

@lorettaandjasonoffgrid It is hard to get on and watch videos. I've got soup going on the woodstove, in the middle of doing dishes. Ugh, I'm struggling a bit today. This ain't for the faint of heart.

@ excellent. Is that Jason meant when he was saying it was his last Boxing Day?

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Yes! His last day of work is tomorrow. I will still be working but now he can get all the things done at the camp that we never have time for! Then he can do odd jobs in the area when he feels like it. Happy for him. He's work too hard his whole life. He needs a break!

[@glengillis7775]

So much snow. I think Santa needs to bring someone a new bush jacket.

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Lol so funny you say that. Jason calls it his dinner jacket. He has a ton of jackets but prefers to wear the old ratty one! Thanks for watching Glen! ✌️🇨🇦♥️

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Beautiful ride in the snow :) But you will need a warm shop to thaw them out now ! Can't believe you don't carry a saw "all" the time when you leave to yard :) it's sled weather my friends 👍, Did you say -19c we just hit -38c at 10pm but warmer coming for Christmas :) Did you roll in the snow to close you pours to keep the flue bug away ? Have a great evening"

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

We sure will need a shop! Jason will get to that eventually. Carrying the saw on the quads can be tricky and we thought we would just go pack down our trails out back. We should know better. Lol. Brrr -38 is too cold! Funny you mention about rolling in the snow as we were talking about building a sauna someday. I hear it's good to roll in the snow after sitting in the heat a while. Maybe we will try that! Lol

[@eastcoastcabinfever]

Hey nice rides an you made it to the cabin nice Jason looks like he’s wearing a kilt walking down to the shower area with that bucket🤣🤣🤣🇨🇦🤠

Hey guys, you’re sure did get hammered with snow. There’s always something to fix. Isn’t there JASON did a great job on that tire. I can’t believe how well your wheelers performed in that deep snow that is awesome the cabin where you had lunch is just a trail cabin or is that on your property?

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

That's Ben's bunkie and yes, it's on our property 1/2km from the main cabin. We built it for Jason's son a couple of years ago. He works weekends often so isn't there to use it too much. We like hanging out back there. Plans are to build more bunkies and cool spots go hang out along the trail.

[@exploringmybackyard]

@ yeah it’s pretty cool having them around just to stop in and have a lunch and Jason I am very sorry that you have to work Boxing Day. Have a great week

[@mattandmouse]
